Another "I had a really hard time getting into the Baroque Cycle, but now that I'm in it I'm loving it" post.

I wanted to share: I'm listening to the audio books, and, given the complexity of the story I miss plenty of details here and there.

To help me along I created a Gemini Notebook with the text from the books. It has been a great tool, I can ask things like >!What was in that letter from Eliza to Rossignol while she was traveling up the Elbe!< (minor spoiler) and it will tell me, helping me connect the dots that I may have missed. You have to prompt carefully to not reveal spoilers, but, otherwise, it's been super helpful.

I can't share my tool, but if you use Gemini and want to set it up you can PM me for help.
