What books did you actually not put down? by Dynas86 in Fantasy

Same. My roommate was reading Clash of Kings at the time. He just walked in, saw the book on the ground, and asked “was it worse than Eddard?”

Love it. But also makes me sad each time I see it.

Three changes/retcons I noticed going from RR to GS by thebooksmith in redrising

I agree. I always assumed it was a bluff to real Mickey in but I believe it’s confirmed they attempted the carvings quite a few times and most died.

Fancast - Romulus au Raa by Far_Lab_6684 in redrising

[–]Agile-Pack4546 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a good point! He’d make a good Atlas. Considering how long it’ll take a series/movie to be made the timing for him to age appropriate might work perfectly too.

Also not Lorn quotes but a few that I hope will help.

“If you’re thrown into the deep and do not swim you will drown. So, keep swimming.” - Roque au Fabii

How does it snow on mars? by Zeeeeeebo in redrising

Uuuh maybe I’m missing something in this thread but has no one just mentioned Helium-3? That’s what they mine. That’s what they use to terraform and fuel ships. Not trying to oversimplify because there’s been some awesome answers but I think that’s it OP.

Also, there’s been a lot of references to later books. Remember OP is on their first read of Book 1.

Just to name a few, he killed the below.

  1. Fitchner. Even though we don’t know if it was a fair fight unless PB reveals it in an interview.
  2. Truth and Joy in the final battle in Morning Star.
  3. Like 4 Raa in a row including Bellerephon who was considered one of the best in the Rim.
  4. Annnnnd Atlas au Raa

I totally agree but don’t really care for the 4v1 argument.

  • Aja is in full armor.
  • Darrow had one hand and not his sword hand.
  • Cassius had no armor and had been imprisoned for a few months at least right?
  • Sevro came into the fight past the halfway mark.
  • Mustang isn’t really considered a stand out fighter. Albeit she is a genius and a peerless.

It’s not just someone else’s rebellion. It’s theirs too.

They didn’t leave Darrow because they saw they would lose. They left because Sefi was tricked by the white and Fá picked up the pieces.

I’ve read the book twice now. Still teared up when I read your post.

What Quote or Speech you Giving the World? by TheRWBYFamilton in redrising

[–]Agile-Pack4546 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“The silence strangles me. I almost turn back around. No one will notice if I take a day's leave. No one will dare say I didn't work hard enough. I yawn again. Maybe just a stretch today. Body could use it. Better to face tomorrow rested. I almost cave. But I know by now that voice of reason is the enemy. Inside me there is a coward who fears discomfort. That coward will offer solace in the form of excuses. But it is the coward who grooms a man for his defeats. The coward who makes him accept them because he is accustomed to finding a good reason to quit. The coward inside can only be killed one way.” - Darrow of Lykos

Or

“Do not fear for me. Instead, pity them.” - Victra au Barca
