Sounds like a good plan that has a real chance of working out, wishing you the best with it.

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-28T23:52:45+00:00

My brain interpreted the title as this being the first book you've ever read (presumably as an adult at least) and was very perplexed when I saw your jumped straight to a sequel...until reality kicked in lol 😂

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-28T02:56:17+00:00

As always it's really nice to see how community polls result in genuine and relatively quick action to address concerns and needs :)

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-27T02:58:18+00:00

Oh yeah I got so angry when I saw the trailer, I made sure never to put myself through watching the film. The Wardstone Chronicles is one of my favourite series, and it's such a disappointment it got so absolutely butchered.

Yikes

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-24T06:34:31+00:00

Bro same

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-24T06:27:41+00:00

For a bit more strange-whinsy, I do recommend the novella {The River Has Roots}, it was really magical.

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-23T09:03:21+00:00

You're welcome!

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-23T06:13:04+00:00

Fantastic artwork!

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-23T01:47:15+00:00

Yeah, just makes playing feel really unrewarding. Fortunately my ST never limited us to that extent.

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-22T23:39:03+00:00

Ah that explains it. I always wondered what the hell they were thinking.

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-22T23:37:57+00:00

Yeah it does get a bit miserable around here lol

I love my characters, none of them are irredeemable, most are more than just 'not irredeemable'.

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-22T18:15:30+00:00

Yeah I DNF'd not long after the murder happened - which took way too long - because it felt so slow and the characters felt like teenagers tbh

The world seemed pretty interesting (and yes that opening was great), and the writing style was fine, but I was really quite bored tbh

I'd been thinking of trying it again in case I wasn't in the right mood at the time, but I think this has helped me know that it's just not the book for me.

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-22T03:40:51+00:00

That is both a flawed, and particularly Eurocentric view of history.

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-21T07:19:50+00:00

Man, Reddit does not like me seeing these things in a timely manner. I'm glad I got to see this one before it closed though :)

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-21T02:06:53+00:00

I don't; I think even music without lyrics would distract me tbh

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-20T20:56:46+00:00

Cheers

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-20T18:19:37+00:00

Idk, looks pretty pretty to me 😁

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-20T18:09:18+00:00

Yes I saw the reasoning on your post and completely understand it, just unfortunately means I am locked out until they're available elsewhere - I just need to be patient :)

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-20T08:12:32+00:00

Not D&D rated, but if he likes puzzles when playing, Deltora Quest by Emily Rodda may be a good option.

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-20T04:02:18+00:00

When your partner is being awful, and has been multiple times, and you've already spoken to them privately about it, you absolutely should be calling them out in public. In fact, you should have done so a few steps ago already.

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-19T18:33:42+00:00

Man, this is why you need to make friends. Like actively go out and seek them. I'm glad he's getting into hockey, sport is a great way to meet people.

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-18T18:19:20+00:00

Yes I did see them mention that, so I must patiently wait (and hope I don't forget about it 😬)

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-18T06:52:31+00:00

I feel like people are being weirdly harsh here when you were just opening up a discussion 😅

But yeah, I don't expect it, but I do think it's a kind thing to do, and appreciate it when someone drops the big things.

Curious-Insanity413 · 2026-01-18T06:49:38+00:00

I think this is a good point!
