You know you’re reading some fuckin Dark Fantasy if your protagonist is a young thief who spends a lot of time reflecting on how the rich are above the law

But if they can just complete enough jobs maybe they’ll be able to get out of the rat race that leaves kids like them dead and have a normal life

Except whups they got caught up in something bigger

Echo : as per the terms of the pact, I have started reading

Have fun. : D

“The Aztlan, whose name had been Yaotl Cuatzo, had apparently been bought to kill a god gone feral that’d made a lair in some property near the eastern border of Estebra District.”

Picturing a guy like “a god knocked over the trash can again”

Chasing a mass of divine flesh and eyes with a rake

“Go on! Git!”

God of raccoons got into the fucking dumpster again, you gotta call someone about that.

Oh no it's true

I do still think it's hilarious that Tristan's reaction to "what the fuck, were you stealing from me?" is to go "well, if you think about it, all property is theft" to the man he was absolutely just stealing from.

He's literally being held at gunpoint and his response is "shit gotta stall for time uhhhhh LET'S TALK ABOUT ECONOMIC INJUSTICE".
