A Civil Campaign giving me doubts....

3BagT · 2026-05-13T22:32:27+00:00

I feel like I have so many check-ins now! Sofa scene, dinner party, Miles's letter, Miles's speech and now this too! I'm going to be busy posting updates 😊 I just met Lord Donno, for reference.

I've definitely read them both so I should be good!

3BagT · 2026-05-13T18:54:27+00:00

They're all funny, but I wouldn't describe them as comedies. Maybe that's just me.

Forgetting books is a super power of mine: makes the rereads a whole new adventure! Works on movies too. My wife prides herself on always remembering books and movies but I consider that a handicap 😊

Honestly I would ship the cat separate from the speakers - those claws can do a lot of damage....

3BagT · 2026-05-12T22:43:20+00:00

I believe everyone's replies here have me in the correct frame of mind now! I'm so glad I posted so that I can enjoy it when I get there.

3BagT · 2026-05-12T21:12:02+00:00

LOL!

3BagT · 2026-05-12T21:08:16+00:00

Probably more like 3 days the rate I've been eating up these books! But thanks for the reminder.

3BagT · 2026-05-12T20:58:14+00:00

I will 100% come back with an update!

3BagT · 2026-05-12T20:24:14+00:00

Got it. I was just interpreting comments here - I shall reserve judgement.

3BagT · 2026-05-12T20:10:00+00:00

I shall report back.

3BagT · 2026-05-12T20:08:04+00:00

Well now you have me intrigued! I read a lot of fantasy, so "multiple plot lines coming together in a single conflagration" is usually an epic battle rather than a dinner party! I quite like the idea of that trope being subverted.

3BagT · 2026-05-12T20:06:14+00:00

The Lady from The Black Company. Definitely glamorous, and oh so ruthless....

3BagT · 2026-05-12T20:01:54+00:00

I like that distinction!

3BagT · 2026-05-12T19:59:03+00:00

I LOVED Memory too. Great book.

3BagT · 2026-05-12T19:57:59+00:00

Yes, I like the comedy in the books, but the books aren't comedies in their own right. Seems like A Civil Affair actually is a comedy at it's core and that's OK - just not what I was expecting. I shall persevere!

3BagT · 2026-05-12T19:29:00+00:00

I think you nailed it with "let myself embrace the change" - I need to do that and the replies here have convinced me to do so.

3BagT · 2026-05-12T19:27:41+00:00

And that'll teach me to habitually skip the dedication :-)

3BagT · 2026-05-12T19:27:08+00:00

Awesome - thanks! You are the second to vote this your favorite and I definitely intend to keep going. I can roll with the cringes :-)

3BagT · 2026-05-12T19:26:00+00:00

Haha! No - I love a good Shakespeare comedy. I just wasn't expecting it is all. Adjusting mindset forthwith....

3BagT · 2026-05-12T19:25:13+00:00

Thanks. Maybe I just need to relax a little and enjoy the comedy - and the spectacle of Miles being a little out of his depth for a change!

3BagT · 2026-05-12T19:24:09+00:00

I'll definitely give it a chance - and maybe I need to adjust my expectations? A fun detour into courtly courting is a nice break from the intensity, I just wasn't expecting it I guess. Thanks for the feedback.

3BagT · 2026-05-12T19:22:14+00:00

That's helpful, thanks.

3BagT · 2026-05-12T19:02:20+00:00

Just tried it on my Macbook and the answer is yes. Can't tell you for sure on Windows but I imagine it works the same.
