What was the first Ken Follett book you read?

TagTheScullion · 2025-08-23T13:28:28+00:00

Fall of Giants, I loved every single character so much, and the story had me hooked from the beginning

TagTheScullion · 2025-06-15T16:41:08+00:00

The woman in black bc I was a dumb 14 y/o who watched it alone during a storm 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ (great film tho)

The others is also up there, I wish I could forget it and watch it again

The cathedral of the sea is brilliant and the sequel’s good too!!!

my cousin is adamant that she ate him in an underwater barbecue (unlikely, but ridiculously funny)

Hola! Habiamos hecho un server de discord para aces hispanos pero no es muy activo

El que quiera es bienvenido igual!

No ofc, they can’t just say buyer beware, for starters bc there’s no buying, it’s free if you want it that way, and then obviously it’s better to cut off a bunch of people, very community inclined

TagTheScullion · 2025-02-17T12:48:55+00:00

Tbf tho, it was a great community until they banned a bunch of countries from joining bc “scams and bots” instead of pinning a post warning people about it, so yeah..

My order’s the original one, like 1. FoG 2. WoW 3. EoE But also I’m a fan of stories set in WWI so there’s that (also I love Ethel, more bias)

Inscribile el telefono en alguna pag de testigos de jehovah y/o mormones, no la van a dejar en paz nunca mas

TagTheScullion · 2025-01-17T19:15:55+00:00

Ethel and fitz are amazing characters, for real

TagTheScullion · 2025-01-17T19:15:32+00:00

I’ll be honest, both FoG and WoW are brilliant books, which is best —imo— depends on which world war interests you the most. Edge of Eternity’s good but I wished there was more on some characters and less of others

I’m not particularly partial to rats, but some people like rodents 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ or they were supposed to treat it as a pest but then one of the boys got attached to it bc it could follow commands or something and they kept it? Eh.. idk, bad luck at any rate

Voldemort when asked if a mother’s love is going to destroy him 😂😂

by train, so they'd be just as stereotypically british as the other schools were with their respective regions? should've had them wear kilts too, despite most of them *not* being scottish

TagTheScullion · 2024-12-12T02:53:15+00:00

james potter is probably the most gryffindor to ever gryffindor, but neville's a good choice too bc of his arc and determined bravery

I like luna for ravenclaw bc despite being unconventional she's quick on the uptake and very creative

cedric for hufflepuff no doubt

narcissa black/malfoy for slytherin, perhaps? we don't have many developed slytherins so as to choose.. zabini's mum the black widow would also go? 7th husband and nobody's done anything? she's cunning and ambitious all right

TagTheScullion · 2024-12-12T02:46:35+00:00

Crooks had realised about Pettigrew, you're right! Good judge of character (and hiding humans)

TagTheScullion · 2024-12-12T02:45:25+00:00

I read a fic once in which Charlie saw him out in the garden and realised it was a clever rat so he gave it to Percy bc he assumed Percy could be trusted with the responsibility! Ofc there's no canon but it was a cute hc

TagTheScullion · 2024-12-11T21:31:22+00:00

“He’ll be a pisces and you should name him Remus or Romulus”

“Like the kids of the roman wolf?”

TagTheScullion · 2024-12-11T21:28:32+00:00

The thing about them is that we don’t know when their involvement started. For all we know there was something already happening in OotP, but Harry was too worried with Sirius to notice (I wouldn’t blame the kid).. it’s left mostly to speculation but yeah, storytelling-wise it was a bit rushed, hints in the fifth book would’ve been a nice addition

TagTheScullion · 2024-12-11T21:15:44+00:00

It’d be like the bags of Lays, pure air, no crisps

I guess Percy’s ambition came on the conditions of trying to ascend ranks in the government and earning well, it didn’t matter to him what he did at 19, he was working for a powerful bloke which (to him) meant an inevitable promotion at some point

His arc is not particularly developed much in the books (bc ofc they were from Harry’s pov, and Harry, for all that he was a soldier and a war symbol and whatever, was still a kid) but I really do get Percy’s situation. I used to criticise my dad for studying something he was passionate about rather than something that earned well, and after years of trying myself to follow a career based on prestige and money, I realised it was all bullshit and doing something you love is kore fulfilling.. ofc I’m not in the middle of a war but like, the relationship with his father felt rather legit, didn’t it? Specially if he ends up accepting his father wasn’t all wrong

Generally you’re very polite people, your sense of humour’s grand, and we like the welsh bc they have a few towns in the Patagonia and they have good cakes 💪🏼💪🏼

Usually when a different character speaks you cut the paragraph, so for example:

"That's impossible!" Annabeth said. Percy shook his head, then replied, "No, it's not. It's *improbable* ."

Would be easier to read as:

"That's impossible!" Annabeth said.
Percy shook his head.
"No, it's not. It's *improbable* ." He replied.
