It’s weird how little people know of these stories. Even people who believe God basically wrote the entire thing often barely know a few Old Testament stories. I find it’s incredibly interesting how different our priorities are, how open they were to magic causing all sorts. One of the first stories- the slave girl who has been asked to bear a child for her master, she runs away to avoid the abuse. Angels come down. you imagine they’ll give her the strength to carry on, or the knowledge to travel far away. But no. They tell her to go back and do as she is told. It’s brutal.

I cannot say some words right even though I know how they should be spoken because I read them for far too long beforehand. Like inventory.

I remember this narration… also the performance of characters done by the different actors really drew me out of the story. I still listened and loved the stories, and I think they improved as the series went on, but I wish they collaborated a little (or a little more?) while doing the first book… I’m team szeth all day everyday haha
