I noticed that I wasn't tempted to skip over any of the sections this time, even to get to my favorite parts, because everything else was so interesting too.

Oh yeah, same! Like, when I think about rereading Taltos, the scenes I'm looking forward to revisiting are all in the main timeline, but once I start reading, I'm never tempted to skip the flashbacks or the spell framing device, because it's all so good and feeds into each other so neatly! I've reread Taltos at least half a dozen times by now, and that never changes.

(and thank you, re: icon :D I'm always so happy when I have a reason to use one of my Dragaera icons :D)
