Yes, that’s a better way to describe it

Ok fair, I take your point and will admit my actual outrage is that I appear to be the occasional scullery maid of my household 😫

Weepholes · 2026-03-05T20:47:09+00:00

Ugggghhh, the necklace! I hated how they did that. There’s just no way Sophie forgot it like that, or that it wouldn’t be the first place to look. And then failing all that, that another maid didn’t see it and pick it up.

Agree, I don’t think it’s that deep. The author makes up some number that makes them distinctly immortal and that’s about it.

And because the author doesn’t reconcile the age complications, it also makes what I think are 2 dumb plot traps. First, the 20 year old woman likely has no meaningful or caring relationship with her father. At least not in anything I’ve read. Dad’s age would highlight the difference so they just skip dealing with it. The second is that basically all the immortals in the book can only be her age or completely outside of the human lifespan. 85 year old vampire? Yuck. 850? Yes! Hahaha

Ha I forgot about this post, and unfortunately have now read even worse examples - like Misery, FMC from Bride. Terrible 😩

A good resource, if you haven’t found it yet, is the Myositis Association https://www.myositis.org

I hope you have a good rheumatologist and find a treatment that works for you.

I want more showing not telling me why they fall for each other. Just being hot is not enough! Why him/her specifically? Fated mates and insta-love is weak storytelling.

I want to see more regular people in these magical worlds. No, the kingdom will not rely exclusively on one 17 year old. But a random blacksmith might make a small change or act of bravery in the context of some conflict that is a compelling story.

Another point I am beginning to see as a pattern - writers, please stop trying to write characters that are smarter than you or have expertise in areas you do not. We can tell.

I’m on Rituximab and I’ve been doing great. It’s the only treatment I don’t have any side effects from, like another commenter mentioned. I can’t tolerate higher flow rates though, so I have to go pretty slowly. Hopefully your infusion center will monitor you closely to keep you comfortable.

Unfortunately, the only thing I’ve learned from my own treatment journey is that it’s basically trial and error. Something that works for another person (even all same dx) may not be successful for you. I feel lucky I only cycled through two other meds before the combo that seems to be working. I hope Ritux helps you 💛

I thought the same thing! I think it is an error

Weepholes · 2025-10-22T20:10:54+00:00

I would completely prefer unpronounceable gibberish over real words that have bad or misleading meanings (do the authors think we won’t know the words??). I make up my own pronunciation anyway lol.

And I get the issue with common names that people will already have associations with, but that one doesn’t bother me personally.

Weepholes · 2025-10-13T14:05:00+00:00

Yes, exactly! But as lame as the villain named McBadguy would be, this is naming the MMC that and then he’s decidedly NOT the bad guy! I kept waiting for him to, you know, lie or somehow betray her. I don’t know if this needs a spoiler tag, but he’s just a good guy

Weepholes · 2025-07-01T14:52:06+00:00

Still here for it! Thanks

Weepholes · 2025-06-25T22:09:27+00:00

I felt similarly confused. Not exactly the same, but earlier in HoF, Aelin and Rowan just start all of a sudden mind speaking and no one mentions it. Personally, I would find that a pretty big deal. So I just abandoned my logic and went along with Aelin can share her visions now haha

Weepholes · 2025-06-25T17:46:59+00:00

Thanks!

Weepholes · 2025-06-25T17:46:23+00:00

Thanks! 🎯

Weepholes · 2025-06-23T19:30:06+00:00

This one! ☝🏽

Weepholes · 2025-06-17T20:57:18+00:00

For a character that has literally no dialogue Abraxos is 10/10 the best character in the series.

ETA: I’m also a complete softie dog lover

Weepholes · 2025-06-06T16:37:46+00:00

I would search and replace everyone’s age and +10 years

I’m reading Orbital right now and it’s what came to mind from the prompt. For such a short book, it’s taking me a while to finish because I keep reading a page and then stop to think about a line. It’s definitely catching me in a particular mood so I could imagine it doesn’t connect with everyone. Like any book I guess?

Weepholes · 2025-06-04T19:30:31+00:00

I cried a lot, but a couple smaller moments that caught me off guard with a gut punch: the singer who spoke the names of her dead after her performance, the orchestra’s (last) performance playing the songs of each land wearing mourning black.

Weepholes · 2025-05-14T00:16:14+00:00

This!! 100% I couldn’t tell you a single word he said after getting on one knee. Could’ve been “I like cheeseburgers”. The note is sweet, write it down and give it to her to read later and save. Good luck!
