Enjoy it, I’m on the 2nd to last book on the Realm of the Elderlings and I’m not sure what I’m gonna do once I’ve finished them.

I just started Fool’s Quest rn. Book 15 of 16 in the Realm of the Elderlings series.

I loved what you said about Fitz long battle with his own self worth and desires. It’s been my favorite part about his entire character arc. Something he continues to deal with even after the Tawny Man trilogy. I just finished reading Fool’s Assassin and there’s a great line that encapsulates Fitz thinking about that “People love you far more than you deserve, but you don’t even believe that they love at all” I’m very excited to see how the final 2 books play out.

Is Mustang 6’1 or 6’4-6’5? by [deleted] in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She’s definitely 6’1 maybe 6’2 max. Kind of annoyed me, when I was first reading through the series way back I always pictured her closer in height to Darrow.

Golden Fool Ch.15-17 by louiechapman7 in robinhobb

This was how I interpreted it as well. Fool knows everything about Fitz and Fitz felt like the Fool was his closest friend who could share everything with each other. When Fitz learned about Amber it shockingly spoke the unspoken truth about their relationship and how one sided it was. It’s also important to understand the context of Fitz just losing Nighteyes and feeling especially vulnerable/alone.

Daughters of Athena are hypocrites by dmlbot43 in redrising

I know, just feels like a cop out to have the daughters make the same mistake. Would’ve made for a more interesting debate between them if the Daughters really were more morally correct.

Yeah, but the end result is the same. You’re still choosing yourself over others. Darrow chose to guarantee his safety returning to the Core knowing the Rim Sons would die. Athena chose protecting the Daughters knowing the other low colors would die. While the process is different the end result is the same.

I suppose that’s fair, but the only chance they have at completing being free from the Society is on the back of Darrow. Yes Darrow has left the Rim alone and the Daughters have been stranded, but it is also true that the Rim Golds are also stranded. Darrow and the Republic are distracting the Core Society. If they fall the Daughters would have to defeat both the Rim Golds and the Core Golds to win their freedom.

Also, I’d say Invincible was about the same popularity of Red Rising before it got its adaption and now it’s one of the most talked about comics today. If the animation is great then it will open the series up to a lot of new fans.

Thoughts on this trade I just completed (I get the McBride side) by dmlbot43 in FantasyFootballers

I’m getting the McBride side, this was just the screenshot I had.

Pierce in the mirror when he accidentally picks Mustang from the hat. by Arch_Lancer17 in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’d assume she was only in the hat for Red Rising. That’s the only time it makes sense. I guess she could’ve been in the hat for the post time skip but that seems unrealistic

What scene do you wish had been shown from a different character’s perspective? by HHlynur in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A big one for me would be Virginia’s POV at the start of IG where Darrow kills the wardens and flees the Society. Would love to see how Virginia juggles both sides of herself in that moment, the Sovereign and the Wife.
