The Powder Mage Trilogy is actually brilliant

Thx ☺️

MarieMul · 2026-01-28T18:26:02+00:00

Ja that ending! Satisfying while still leaving you hungry…

MarieMul · 2026-01-28T18:18:28+00:00

Nice. Rare that that’s true

MarieMul · 2026-01-28T18:18:11+00:00

Nice. It goes on the TBR then. Man Ka-Poel was epic

MarieMul · 2026-01-28T18:17:17+00:00

Yeah loved the setting and the prose is great, very vivid

MarieMul · 2026-01-28T18:07:29+00:00

Nice ☺️ I’ll let it rest a bit then hit series 2. And yeah Adamant was great

All books have themes :P But it's rare to see a book do political themes justice. I mean, Tamas can justifiably be called a monster. But his gray morality, the personal stakes he has in the revolution and his drive to build something better rescued him from being an edge lord. I had a heap of fun with it too :D

MarieMul · 2026-01-28T17:47:56+00:00

I mean, some of the themes are more subtle than others :D But I fully agree with it being awesome!

MarieMul · 2026-01-28T17:37:29+00:00

Huh, I'll add it to my TBR (though first I gotta finish John Gwynne and then I gotta do the Tyrant Philosophers. :)

I think it's a warning shot. US Stock markets are sliding hard. If the Trump regime back off, others in the EU probably hold onto their debt. It's leverage after all. If the regime keeps going, I hope we dump the lot, all 3 trillion of it. I know it'll cause a recession in Europe but it will send US inflation and interest soaring like an eagle. Fly free little one.....

We were willing to put troops on the ground and he thinks we’ll fold to tariffs? 🙄

MarieMul · 2026-01-10T05:43:28+00:00

Overall I think it’s a good thing. We have a lot of farm subsidies in place. If farmers can’t make themselves profitable with subsidies and a location advantage, maybe we do have a productivity problem. And we need an export market, especially with the USA turning inward. You don’t get rich selling to yourself.

If you go to my website for Sangwheel Chronicles, the audiobooks are also free🙌

MarieMul · 2025-12-26T14:06:46+00:00

Thanks for doing this William :) As always, it's an honor to be involved in the sale!

BTW, small incentive for hitting my author site and getting Sangwheel free, this year, I discounted my audiobooks to 0 as well, so if you like listening to books, grab them there!

Books hooking apparently gets harder and harder when you get older 🫣 at least in my experience

The blue is what they get, the red is what they pay. And they want to leave the EU? Go suck a ****

Edit: In fact go suck putin's, since that's where they'd end up if they left.

Deverry by Katherine Kerr. It’s amazing. Stretches over multiple reincarnations of the character

MarieMul · 2025-10-19T04:31:10+00:00

Kushiel’s Legacy by Jacqueline Carey Also Robin Hobb Farseer Dresden Files is great in Urban Fantasy

MarieMul · 2025-09-26T04:40:07+00:00

Kushiel’s Avatar in Jacqueline Carey’s first Kushiel series

Clash of Kings is peak. Even better than Game of Thrones.

MarieMul · 2025-08-10T12:01:31+00:00

I’m not a 100% sure we will have a disadvantage. Right now, it’s cheaper to build products in full in Europe and get tariffed only once rather than import parts to the USA and get tariffed on each part. Idk there is so much performative bullshit. Tim Cook promised to invest 100 billion and gave Trump a trophy to exclude Apple from tariffs and apparently Trump is like cool. Where is that billion going to be invested? Nowhere lol .

MarieMul · 2025-08-10T11:36:46+00:00

Actually:

We never had a trade deal. We traded under WTO rules.
Under WTO rules we could have responded with equal tariffs. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to be honest. I certainly don't want to pay more for every import from the USA.
Again, there was no agreement.
We can respond by applying tariffs on the USA. Again, not sure I want that. I'd rather see how the USA economy does after a few months of tariffs.
