About this deal

Before the time machine, before the undead mannequins, before the cat with the universe eye, there were the arbiters. They regulated the world and kept reality from banging into itself. All was well in paradise. But even the gods end up in love triangles from time to time. Similar to the novel This is How You Lose the Time War, The Prince of Milk is a story that spans both time and space, but this book mostly focused on a small town in England. There is a rather long list of characters in this book, and it is hard to pin down if we have any “main” characters at all since the narrative is spread out among a dozen people. This sacrificed deeper character development, but it paid off since it managed to tell a vaster story in a shorter amount of time. This is juxtaposed to This is How You Lose the Time War, which only had two really fleshed out characters. We're all in the same strange boat, grappling with the same strange condition. But it isn't quite so scary if we all do it together. So let's do it together.” Perception Manipulation: Capable of showing, within his eye, [36] visions of pieces of the Gestalt; The World in Itself, Truly. [37] Essentially, the true nature of and meaning behind reality. He is also capable of sharing qualia in the form of gems. [38]

Matter Manipulation: Is capable of altering matter so that it's no longer on the visible spectrum, rendering it invisible. [18] Intelligence: At least Extraordinary Genius (Shares the memories and knowledge of his Etheric form) | At least Extraordinary Genius (There is only one mindstate in The Prince of Milk, and Etherics remember all of their past mindstates, including as being everyone [7] and everything [8] in the Corporia) Also this book messes with your head BIG TIME. I actually took it into myself to try and give the number 10 Technology Manipulation and Weapon Creation: In his incarnation as a peasant, Beomus could explode nanoswarms from his hand and activate newmatter spears from seemingly nothing. [16] [17] Name: Varies, includes Sergei, The Cat, Bjartur, Barnstable, and Denkov | His True Name can't be pronounced or heard by normal ears, but to them it sounds like the song of a dying star. [1] Is also known as Beomus, The Cat, and The Prince of MilkFirst off. I'm biased. I love and live for the exurb1a YouTube channel. Honestly if I didn't already love the author this book would be getting a lower rating from me, but this guy deserves more attention hence the four star rating. The modern classic of space opera that began with Children of Time continues in this extraordinary novel of humanity's battle for survival on a terraformed planet.

The Prince of Milk by Exurb1a | Goodreads

Just like a hotel, it's a place to sleep and be, only you don't sleep that much and you're barely a thing at all anymore. You keep the place bare like this because there's nothing left on the inside to express.” There's no grand plan and no one's in charge. It's all just fumbling about in the dark, and half the time you're not even sure why you're fumbling. You're so desperate for something to pin your peace of mind to that you'll do all sorts of stupid things in its name. You don't mean to break up a marriage, but if breaking it up might let you sleep like a normal person again, suddenly you start considering it. You don't mean to become a drunk, but if drink is the only way you can keep a handle on some tiny compartment of your life then it's straight for the bottle.” Discovered in the 1970s, magic is now a bona fide field of engineering. There's magic in heavy industry and magic in your home. It's what's next after electricity. Happy people are just people you aren't acquainted enough with yet to know how miserable they really are.” Transformation: Etherics in Corporia can return to their Etheric forms, [14] although there may be some unnamed restrictions or requirements on when this can be done. [15]From the beloved author of Whiskey, Words, and a Shovel comes the first volume in an all new series.

Probability Manipulation: Beomus is the one causing chaos in Etheria. Without him, lovers meet in boring fashions, each hour unfolds as expected, and there aren't any interesting coincidences. [34]A collection of short stories that bend the mind, pull the heartstrings, and explore the eternal questions of existence.

Beomus is the protagonist of The Prince of Milk. After falling in love with Zorya, a married arbiter, a love punishable by being stripped of position, he eloped into the Corporia, pulling himself, Zorya, and Djall into it to settle their grudge. One would strain to tell the difference between insanity and a mere annoyance, depending on the context. If a fellow had been wronged enough, perhaps he would take on the appearance of a man insane, but he is only insane with rage.” Limited Extrasensory Perception: Etherics in Corporia as part of a grudge are able to sense each other. [12] [13] I read this book about having an existential crisis in a small English countryside town while simultaneously having an existential crisis in a small English countryside town. What can I say about the writing? It's fantastic. Whimsical, magical, mind-blowing and strangely reminiscent of Neil Gaiman. I loved the writing.

The Prince of Milk

It's fun to think that one day our great, great grandchildren may get that much closer to understanding what the hell creation is doing here in the first place, and glimpsing the underlying structure and nature of matter itself. Hopefully they won't live with the same existential horrors we all quietly face today in our own lives. And Mcalister makes out a fragment, blurry at first, then clear as day; the mechanism behind the curtain of Being, beyond all its veils, garments, and classifications: the true purpose of matter and energy. There is evil in the world, yet God claims he loves us. If he could remove that evil but chooses not to, then he is not all-loving as we're told he is. If he wants to remove that evil from the world but cannot, then why do we call him all-powerful? In any case, he's not truly God and there's nothing to be frightened of. Chin up.” “Goodnight” There is evil in the world, yet God claims he loves us. If he could remove that evil but chooses not to, then he is not all-loving as we're told he is. If he wants to remove that evil from the world but cannot, then why do we call him all-powerful? In any case, he's not truly God and there's nothing to be frightened of. Chin up.” Powers and Abilities: Immortality (Type 4), Limited Extrasensory Perception, Transformation, Technological Manipulation and Weapon Creation, Invisibility via Matter Manipulation, Dimensional Travel, Teleportation and Soul Manipulation | All previous abilities (With the exceptions of Immortality (Type 4), Technological Manipulation, and Weapon Creation), plus Immortality (Types 1 and 5), Enhanced Senses, Self-Sustenance (Type 2, likely types 1 and 3), Abstract Existence (Type 1), Telepathy, Creation, Probability Manipulation, Shapeshifting, Perception Manipulation, Body Puppetry, Quantum Manipulation
