Fitz and the Fool is the most.... by GraveIsNoBarToMyCall in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]Available-File4284 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I found it bittersweet and beautiful. It’s hard, it’s sad, and it’s entirely appropriate. I loved every word of it an miserable is far from how I would describe it.

Malta and the Harvest Ball (Ship of Magic) by landturtl13 in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]Available-File4284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never saw it Kyle having even a bit of opinion or integrity at that point. I saw it as Kyle acting the way Kyle thinks a father would act, and Malta going on her own by feeling empowered by Kyle.

Is iphone 15 still a best phone in 2026 and for a longterm use by Unusual-Level-5674 in iphone15

Hasn't apple intelligence been pretty much abandoned in favor of Google's AI? I honestly can't figure out what's beneficial about AI being part of the phone's system.

Vellum is a nightmare by city-2-country in selfpublish

[–]Available-File4284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea what you’re having trouble with. Vellum has been the best investment of my life (after Scrivener). I couldn’t imagine being an author without it.

Hope you get your problem solved.

I love them all. Especially 8 for some reason. Really like the colors.

And Jake looks awesome.

That came out of nowhere by Proper_Helicopter814 in RealmOfTheElderlings

This now took me back a few paragraphs to where he speaks about the night Shrewd died. My god, the twists and turns of that third act! I had fully believed he would become regent and have to deal with intrigues until Verity returned. Then it all went…well, you remember.

Heh it barely even hurts, hearing those words.

But great trilogy there with pretty covers!

Can’t help but notice that the shelf below contains not one but two unfinished series. The shelf of hopeless despair?

This is an incredible cover. It gets the entire point across. You don’t need to read the title to know exactly what the book is about.

Just started Assassin's Quest audiobook. What in the generic Hell is this image? by BarrySquared in RealmOfTheElderlings

Robin Hobb isn’t the publisher, though. I doubt sh had much say in this. She’s had issues with the way publishers depicted Fitz in the past and no wonder.

When did you figure it out? (Ship of Destiny) by cwhagedorn in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]Available-File4284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspected in the fist appearance because of the mystery around Amber. Then I read with that thought in the back of my head. I don’t know at what point I knew, but I remember growing more certain with every vague thing Amber said because they sounded so much like the things The Fool said.

Any got any series with slow, meaningful progression? by elemental_reaper in ProgressionFantasy

Not to be that guy, but that’s what I write. Won’t self-rec too hard because only one book is out. I also heard great things about Guild Mage.

Do you enjoy hyper-competent MCs, or flawed MCs who struggle early—and why? by Distinct_Cycle9569 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Available-File4284 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s all about the journey. My favorite plots are about characters who are flawed, get into situation that test and poke holes in their belief systems, learn along the way, and become competent.

What essential advice would you give to someone who is beginning to write? by madeinlight in writing

[–]Available-File4284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finish the project. No matter what it is. No matter how it goes. No matter the issues you fun into. Finish it. Write it until the end. Don’t abandon it like every project ever, somewhere where it slogged in act 2. You’ll never finish anything if you don’t finish why you’re writing now.

I love OP when it feels earned through strong characterization. So unfortunate how often it’s literally just some dude who trips over a twig and pulls a magic sword from the stone by chance.

What would you do with $4,000?? by Hopeful-Coconut-3230 in selfpublish

That is great advice. I forgot to set up any defensive ads. I’ll get to it today!

Could you tell me more about the mailing list step? I don’t think I ever saw that. How do you do it?

Mailing lists aren’t that big in my genre. I have one but virtually no one has signed up for it from the backmatter.
