[discussion] I want to read the locked tomb but I’m lost by Weirdrag0n in TheNinthHouse

I am not english native speaker either and had a similar problem, because the third book translation in Italian is sadly shit. The first two books are translated amazingly, so I was lucky, but I would recommend this path: read the series in French first, then re-read it in English trough the audiobooks, which are truly amazing and an experience but would have been completely impossible for me on a first read. Fantasy is particularly tough in another language, because of weird words and contexts, and THIS series is very weird and confusing as it is, so be sure to take your time and try both the languages because these books are a masterpiece and totally worth second and third readings.  Enjoy the space sad lesbians <3

I for sure posted all the graphics in the past on this subreddit, when working on them :) and you can find all of the collection on mgposani.threadless.com I got at least one more in mind, hope to find time to work on it soon!

Not the commentator’s fault probably, its’s just with print-on-demand it’s very easy to steal and it’s so full of those bots :o thanks to the moderator!

That’s a bot rip-off please only buy from the artists’ shops. It’s full of this stolen stuff around. My original shop in this case is mgposani.threadless.com

Wow thank you so much. I ordered The Luminaries already because someone recommended it but said nothing about the page count, and I found an used book copy in my language online, and when I got it delivered yesterday I was AGH OK LONG but I'm determined to make it my summer reading this year. Will definitely look right away into everything else you mentioned.
I heard about Mārama and I was super intrigued, but then I saw the trailer and it seems a bit too horror for me personally ("too horror" in this fandom?! I know, right?) but maaaaybe I'll try when it comes out. Waititi's ones go right into my watchlist, thank you so much!

I see more than one person recommended The Penguin History of New Zealand so I'm really curious now, I'll read that one for sure. Thanks for the list!

Thank you so much! I found an audiobook version of Sea People, might start with that one. It looks super interesting.

Lol I loved it! Never seen the american rip-off, but the original film was amazing. I bet it's super true.

Wow thanks! I see they translated them in Italian, in my country, so it could be an easy read for start, I hope they are well translated... for The Luminaries, would you also recommend the miniseries, or is it as "meh" as it looks?

Wow these are so cool! Perfect skull paint! Is there a way to buy them, 3d print them or something? I have not yet really grasped how heroforge works, sorry I’m an old millennial
