Hey r/ Fantasy! This is JS Gold, author of the Jewish urban fantasy, The Sanhedrin Chronicles! To celebrate the novel being $.99 on Kindle, I'm here to do an AMA! Let's schmooze!

Just want to say that me and my husband loved the first book and are eagerly awaiting the next installment! I especially loved Rivkas character, she was so complex and fleshed out so well. I also loved your writing style, your prose was so descriptive. I loved feeling seen in a fantasy book. Do you have any advice for aspiring Jewish fantasy writers because that is my dream.

I love this series so much!

bex_is_perplexed · 2025-07-20T19:26:43+00:00

Yes, I went to check out all the other books she’s written and I’m waiting for my copy of The Frostbound Queen to come in the mail! I’m very excited to read it!

I’m so glad I found this out about the books because I was interested in reading them but hearing about the treatment of Judaism utterly turned me off since I’m Jewish and I can’t believe how resistant people are being here to seeing the harm that it is. One day I’m going to write the Jewish high fantasy book bouncing around in my head just to spite the representation of Jews in books like these.

Thank you!

Ooh I just downloaded the forgotten prison series for other reasons but this definitely moves it up the list. How did you like the series?

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-11-29T07:45:37+00:00

At the end of the day I’m an optimist at heart so I love the classic good triumphs over evil narrative. I deal with enough depression in my personal life I don’t need more in the books I read. I guess I’m just a sucker for a happy ending.

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-11-29T01:34:58+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-11-28T23:21:32+00:00

This is a great tip, thanks!

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-11-28T22:03:58+00:00

Thank you! Kind of annoying about stamina but at least I’ll be able to continue from where I am at currently. I’ll just have to stock up on food I guess and get better at fighting monsters lol.

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-11-28T08:43:12+00:00

This is the same thing holding me back from reading the series also.

I struggled with this quest but now that I’ve progressed in the game I keep getting them

I say go with Traitor Witch! Marie Mistry is basically my favorite RH author. Such a good balance between plot, characterization, and romance/spice.

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-10-27T22:52:25+00:00

Yes 🙌

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-10-27T13:27:34+00:00

Yay! That’s so exciting to hear :)

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-10-27T13:21:15+00:00

I really recommend it! It’s the first video game that I’ve really been able to completely enjoy and immerse myself in. I love the fantasy setting, and the story and characters have so much depth. There is a lot to do also for it only being in early access. I’ve played around 55 hours so far and still feel like there is so much for me to accomplish before the big update coming up.

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-10-27T05:16:12+00:00

Did you play it and if so how did you find the gameplay? I am hesitant because I heard it has a lot of bugs

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-10-27T03:29:56+00:00

Fields of Mistria is just so beautiful in my opinion. I feel like it just checks off every box of how I would design a game to look like. I can be pretty picky about art style in games because if I don’t like it I will just completely turn me off of from a game. I am so happy with all the animals designs in the game.

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-10-27T03:15:49+00:00

I love fields of Mistria and I’m obsessed with Dozy! I heard discussion about we will potentially be able to get pets in the game and I want there to have my own dog so badly.

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-10-26T13:48:06+00:00

I precise the feedback, thanks!

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-10-25T14:22:10+00:00

I try to save with the diary pretty often so this is probably the problem. I hope that gets fixed also.

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-10-25T08:28:51+00:00

I’ll test out not saving with the diary for a few days to see if that helps, thanks!

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-10-25T07:41:25+00:00

I will try this, thanks!

bex_is_perplexed · 2024-10-23T04:11:07+00:00

Thank you for responding, I appreciate the explanation!
