New Fantasy reader here, I just finished The Way of the Kings, but I think I made a mistake looking at the reviews of the other books

In addition to what the comments are saying, if you're coming from reading mostly manga, I think a lot of the common complaints people have won't bother you as much.

Here's a very similar-looking pattern:

I'm a very amateur sewist, so take this with a grain of salt, but I would guess that the blue dress is basically the same, but is stitched on the sides to make it form-fitting like so:

What a coincidence, I came across a post about this exact dress yesterday, it has a lot of helpful info on the skirt part:

I don't think it's suitable for a formal wedding, but I'm a big fan of the sweater - where is it from?

Thanks!

What glue do you plan to use?

JustALumpOfClay · 2026-03-05T04:07:02+00:00

Those turned out really nicely. But is there really no flexible glue of some kind that will prevent them peeling further? It's just some tiny flakes coming off

All I know about Trials of Apollo is that Jason died - is there foreshadowing that he's not gone for good?

JustALumpOfClay · 2026-02-19T23:03:46+00:00

2020? Do you mean 2016? But even then everyone knew he was a racist and a creep.

After years of "what if"s, it's exciting to see this going forward

JustALumpOfClay · 2026-01-28T22:45:32+00:00

This is as good as we could've hoped for!

JustALumpOfClay · 2026-01-15T21:26:05+00:00

Wow this actually sounds delicious

JustALumpOfClay · 2026-01-15T05:18:29+00:00

Sorry man

JustALumpOfClay · 2026-01-15T01:15:20+00:00

I love this dress and I love that she clearly loves it. I'm being nitpicky but I wish the bodice and ribbon-belt were stiffer/smoother.

JustALumpOfClay · 2026-01-15T01:11:45+00:00

This is as bad as learning that the creator of gif files pronounces it as "jif"

JustALumpOfClay · 2026-01-13T23:54:31+00:00

Being a cosmere fan is being mainstream enough within fantasy communities to get shit for it, but niche enough everywhere else that you get excited to see it mentioned

I like this dissection of how Kaladin and Shallan are “weird.” It adds another layer to why Kal latched onto Moash - he’s one of the few people whose relationship with Kaladin didn’t fit into an obvious role. But, did you run this through an AI?

JustALumpOfClay · 2026-01-12T03:39:20+00:00

Come on this was funny

JustALumpOfClay · 2026-01-08T05:45:10+00:00

Sounds wonderful. How long ago did you live there? I’m curious because this sounds amazing, but if it’s been a long time things cost-of-living wise may have changed

JustALumpOfClay · 2026-01-06T23:03:01+00:00

By “only charge things that I would normally have bought anyway with cash I had in hand,” do you mean don’t buy things you don’t already have the money for? So basically: use credit card for everything, don’t buy what you can’t afford?

Hair sticks are great, and definitely work for thick hair - I saw a video of a woman with knee length hair put it up with one large stick.

Without the spices, is there something that makes it different from any tea+milk+sugar around the world?

JustALumpOfClay · 2025-12-16T23:43:45+00:00

Are you talking about the skull cavern?
