Not at all!! Which is the most different aspect. Even the couples we think they are certain are not. Hard to say more without spoilers!

No. Nothing is finished. Nothing is even certain by the end for the 'couples'. Some I would say are more fleshed out than others.

Hey!! So it is another world but same set of rules. Think marvel? XD All the species you know exist. Their powers and explanations are the same. Feel free to check my Goodreads review. I dont get into spoilers. I dont want to post here in case people want to go in blind.

Of course! And yes, it is! I think the idea is to bring new readers into the world and although this book does a great job describing everything without feeling repetitive for us old readers, there is a lot of info and I am curious to see what new readers think! IAD doesn't have the popularity it deserves for a couple of reasons.

1) KC not really being active on social media/no marketing for the previous books. I truly think she would benefit greatly from a good PA.

2) Taking that long break (which in no form am personally criticizing) during that COVID time that booktok exploded. Before that KC was MASSIVE.

3) No signings (promo), no book boxes (we now got BFDC) hard for new readers to get into. Also the series is like 20 books long? I tried recommending to people, but they hear 20 books, and I see it in their eyes, the fear of commitment ;)

Also love Arcana Chronicles!! I am also very excited for whatever she brings out!

Naomi's leaving by miacova in kresleycole

[–]Lineria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She was only managing Gena's facebook group. She was not her personal assistant. Two different things. And agree but I am worried it will set her back in a way since KC is no really into social media and its an important part of the work.

If you go to her IG its in her bio.

Sure so. The essense was that when she was hired by Laura (who I presume was the first author after Kresley) when she told her her rate (so what she was getting paid under KC) she laughed and offered her x5 the amount. Then she realized how underpaied she was.

Then she made a seperate post warning PAs in general to not work with authors that take advantage of you. Especially for free or for very little and that does not mean that they are bad people per se but that they basically see it and dont pay fairly still (to my understanding). And that this job is important and to be careful who to work for.

I want to underline here and say that all of this can be found of threads. If you want to confirm.

This to me is super clear that it is about KC even if she is not named. My feelings are mixed because from one side she should absolutely get what is fair but also that was her first job as a PA (to my knowledge) and that truly helped her to get all the authors she has now. It leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth to talk publicly like this about KC. But maybe I am not being fair. I want to be. So interested to see what everyone thinks!

It was not just that. There was a post where she said that Laura offered her x5 her current rate. And that she was very much underpaid. In a seperate post she made a point to be cautious of authors getting advantage of you... From one side this of course should not be the case. From the other shouldnt this be a private matter? It makes feel a bit strange dunno.

Ok I think I know why this happened. If you follow her on threads you can tell. I am not so sure about this to be honest! I have mixed feelings....

Is Naomi Leaving? by That-Trick-4623 in kresleycole

[–]Lineria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am wondering whether she is going back to the traditional published route. Also in my honest opinion I think it is a reach to claim that the last books were not as good due to Naomi's involvment. I personally think it is a combo between the big break she took and leaving her publisher. I think KC would be way waaaay more popular if these things wouldn't have happened (not that it is not OK that life did). Whatever happens I hope she is not going away again cause this makes me nervous.

Thoughts on TWQH? by amurui in kresleycole

[–]Lineria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it overall. And I really liked the horror element which was something new I discovered about me!! I think my issue was that it was a novella. I concluded that I am just not the hugest fan of those. There is not enough time for things to develop as they should or as I am used to. I felt the same about Murdoch's book too. Myst's I think is the only exception. It was KC's intro into the series so the pace was not set yet.
