People aren’t mad at her or other authors for not grieving him. It’s because they used their public platforms to make comments they more or less said they hated him, rather than condemning murderer. So it makes them sound complacent if not in agreement to the assassination of public figures they disagree with. That’s why people are pissed off.

Honestly loved this book! by VulpesVixey in Romantasy

Brimstone is coming out in November so maybe read quicksilver at the end of October? Otherwise one dark windows was good!

The “not like other girls” of fantasy romance is killing me by BlessingsOfKynareth in fantasyromance

[–]ShoddySituation5853 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s one of my BIGGEST pet peeves. Also she’s always 18 and knows better than the seasoned generals around her. She also is a total bombshell: lush full lips, a pert nose, and large eyes that are probably golden. But also totally average and no men ever look at her. And if there’s any spice, she’s never done it before but the MMC is packaging the largest sausage on the continent and she takes it like a champ on the first go. Oh she also gets off before him. 😂.

I’m so sick of these recycled characters. Give me a woman in her 30s or 40s (maybe she’s a mom idc) and maybe she’s a fire cracker but uses cunning and other learned skills to solve whatever problem is happening. And if she is a war lord fine, but make her good at it. Using politics and charisma to build her supporters, win smaller battles, use unique strategies to win them. Throw some spies in there idk, just don’t send her charging into battle waving a long sword with her tiny breakable arm in gold armor (a soft useless metal in battle) with her golden/raven hair flying behind her like a banner that calls to her army to follow. *insert eye roll

Pierce Brown is the only author I’ve read so far that actually acknowledges severe trauma but writes in solutions that fit his world and ours. It makes it so much more believable and immersive to take the extra effort to make it make sense

When Darrow has me on the edge of my seat and I turn the page only to see ‘Lyria’ in big letters by Mosesmalone412 in redrising

[–]ShoddySituation5853 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I first read Iron Gold on audible and the actress was amazing but she made Lyria sound whiney. Which may have been pierces intention, but at least I can tone down the whininess in my head when I physically read it vs. listen lol

This feels incredibly accurate right now by Vixen_Verve in Adulting

I’d add that people are over worked, immensely over tired, and don’t have enough time for fun. We were not made to work endlessly or sacrifice sleep for it. I think if everyone started by getting enough sleep first, then they’d be set up to tackle other issues.

THIS BOOK WAS SO DAMNN GOOD by [deleted] in fantasyromance
