you know, almost two months ago I mentioned how nothing stops my reading progress cold more than the villains inexplicably capturing the protagonist, since then I haven't read a page of this... I do feel kind of bad about that...

You thought Wiznik was the real villain, but it was me, DIO!

Well, I got past the villain gloating chapter, took long enough (272 DAYS!), but I really dislike Wiznik, but not in a "you have to pay for your sins!" way just in a "why is it this pathetic hypocritical crab can just snap his pincers and get the galaxy to do what he wants it to do?" He's just an opportunistic ambitious amoral cowardly jerk. He's literally the worst villain Sanderson ever wrote.

How in the world am I ever going to get through this book when every time I open up to where I left off, I read half the page, realize that repugnant idiot Wiznik is going to start gloating and just... no. Honestly, he's the worst villain Brandon ever wrote; I hate him but not in the way of "I can't wait to see him getting his comeuppance" more "why won't you just die off-page you annoyingly lucky blowhard"

very little stops my reading progress cold like the protagonist getting captured by villains appearing out of nowhere. Oh, huh, seems like I've made no progress on Defiant since yesterday... coincidence?
