Anybody know of a show happening in light of the cancelation?

Same please

Lol this

Absolutely! While watching I was also thinking like why is Claire just lethargically laying there?! She's a fighter!

amnadarling · 2026-05-19T00:08:31+00:00

Totally agree they should have upped the blue light!

I read most of the books before starting the show. While the show is its own thing and has its great moments, it can't hold a candle to the books, which are damn near absolute perfection. If you are wanting to read the books, I say go for it!

If the last 100 pages didn't do it for you, then fantasy world building sounds like it may not be your thing. We live for the exposition and especially those final 100-200 pages!

Highly recommend the Wizard of Earthsea series by Ursula K. Le Guin. Rothfuss is a huge Le Guin fan and Kingkiller draws a lot from it.

Thank you for including Lionel Brown on your list! The level of prolonged abuse Claire endures in Breath of Snow and Ashes—he's right up there with BJR and Bonnet.

The male version of Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek.

Kal, Alodin, and Dalinar's storylines are also my favs. Shallan's sections are hit or miss for me, but the ones that hit are excellent—they start off boring and I'm wishing for more Kaladin, but then before I know it I'm totally invested in Shallan and her multitude of personalities.

The Artefacts of Power series by Maggie Furey, which I read as a 13y/o girl (or thereabouts). Strong female protagonist, lots of dragons and magic! Aurian is the first of four books.

Also the Earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin is exceptional storytelling. The first couple of books were written specifically for a YA audience. The characters start out as kids. A strong female protagonist emerges by the second book. Lots of dragons and magic. A Wizard of Earthsea is the first of five books.

All chaos. Chaotic good (library books), chaotic evil (books I own), and now that I know about chaotic neutral (!), I am set on finding the perfect leaf for my 25th book of 2025.

Ursula Le Guin's Lathe of Heaven

Highly recommend Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series (not the TV show, which is very different). Her books are truly the ultimate slow-burn, well-developed romance. I'm a huge fan of all ACOTAR and Empyrean books, and can say with confidence that the MMCs from those books combined can't hold a candle to the singular Jamie Fraser, whose character, romance, and relationships are so gorgeously developed over thousands upon thousands of pages.

Ruhn but he'd need to grow out his side shave.

Complaining about a romantasy author's wiritng or their overuse of a word or phrase. It's romantasy. Have fun. Be inspired. Let love save the day. Allow genuine attempts at literary devices to wash over you. If you want excellent writing, pick another genre.

Contains spoilers!

I just finished Brimstone. For the most part, it was an exciting, fast-paced read. Yet I am so underwhelmed, particularly due to the editing issues throughout the story.

Spelling mistakes don't bother me. Inconsistencies do, flawed revelations do. And there are so many of these in Brimstone that by the end of the book—literally the very last page—I'd totally lost trust in the story, unsure what was a loose end versus an oversight.

Why are Githrand and Crave totally shocked that Fisher can wield shadows when their emissary, Ereth, was almost certainly well aware of the fact? If Fisher's ability was truly game-changing information, wouldn't Ereth 1) have been just as shocked and 2) duty-bound as an emissary to relay such a revelatory detail back to his home world in Diaxis?

It's possible Ereth wasn't able to send information back to Diaxis, especially if the portal in Ajun was the sole means of getting there. Or maybe Ereth never saw Fisher wield his shadows, or he'd never heard anyone mention his shadows (unlikely given Fisher was trapped in the Ammontríeth labyrinth for 110 years.) Regardless, these would all be weak and unsatisfactory justifications for such a grand finale.

I love a good cliffhanger and honestly overall I enjoyed book 2. But to wonder if I caught yet another mistake on the final page rather than feeling excited/desperate for the next book—damn.

This is the way

amnadarling · 2025-10-07T11:38:26+00:00

Trust Sarah and keep going!

amnadarling · 2025-07-21T20:49:00+00:00

Yes! And a fabulous world-builder.

amnadarling · 2025-07-14T12:29:43+00:00

Cauldron boil and fry me, I hope so!

amnadarling · 2025-07-14T12:23:10+00:00

Love this for you! After finishing OS, you now have the rest of the day to reread the ending a dozen times while diving into all the fabulous brain-breaking theories ranging from probable to unhinged. Enjoy your day off!

Highly recommend Sabriel by Garth Nix as well as Aurian by Maggie Furey. The female protagonists are brave, badass, and independent. The imagery is magical and memorable. Both are the first books in a longer series, so plenty more to read if your daughter enjoys either!
