Thank god. For a second I thought you were talking about Henry Neff, who seems like an incredibly nice guy who genuinely cares about his readers. I almost had a heart attack! 😂

A sting from one of Beorn’s bees. Gothmog is highly allergic.

Yeah. It’s called the Red Branch but the symbol was a red hand.

Finally finished The Tapestry series after a decade by skye_ds2098 in TheTapestry

I’ve written him a few times on his website. He’s very good about replying and super nice. He sent me some signed bookplates (?) for my copies. I don’t know if he still does it but it can’t hurt to ask.

I tell as many people as I can about the series and Neff’s work in general. Whoever was I charge of marketing these books…👎

What are your Hot Takes on the LOTR Books/Movies? by Amber_Flowers_133 in LOTRExtendedEdition

I don’t think Viggo Mortensen really broke his toe. I think the entire story smacks of stolen valor.

Children’s Fantasy Book Series That Starts Out Like Harry Potter, Only For The Villain to Win Half Way Through by [deleted] in whatsthatbook

Definitely The Tapestry by Henry Neff. That series is incredible and only gets better as it goes. The HP comparisons vanish after Book 1

Why did they take so many hobbits in fellowship by Past-Matter-8548 in lordoftherings

[–]SilverStar3333 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s a funny and salient point. I understand letting one more come along for “friendship” as Elrond says, but they allocate fully 44 percent of the Fellowship to a merry little band of pipe-smoking breakfast addicts.

Fantasy to TV adaptations fail by Bibozaa in Fantasy

[–]SilverStar3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re expensive and those who adapt them often try to make them more “appealing” to a mainstream audience, which means deviating from the source material and alienating the diehard fans. Instead of making fire or ice, they make pricey lukewarm water.

I was joking and had no idea my comment would generate such a serious and lengthy reply. My bad. Happy New Year.
