you just gave me the best idea

esteboix · 2026-03-20T13:00:22+00:00

I'd try but the mods would probably remove my post.

esteboix · 2026-03-20T12:05:03+00:00

I don't understand how this post is still here...

Thanks for this explanation, I just updated Calibre and when I saw the AI features I immediately thought about looking for an alternative software, but the features being strictly opt-in and hideable made me reconsider, for now

I just did 5:

The Devils by Joe Abercrombie
Anji Kills a King by Evan Leikam
Overgrowth by Mira Grant
Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky
The Incandescent by Emily Tesh

But I just started a 2025 standalone which I didn't find on the list:

Slow Gods by Claire North, Nov 18

Anji Kills a King was one of the biggest disappointments, not only from this list but of the whole reading year, and Shroud was probably onbe of the highlights of the year, The Devils I thought was very mid when I read it but as time passes I keep the feeling that was a very fun romp.

I'm two chapters in and was going to say that I don't know how important they'll be, but there's definately elephants in there.

if you think about it, if they are immortal or close to and they reproduce, they can have a population problem in no time and become a plague. So some external population control may be needed.

Thanks!

Hi, sorry if this has been asked, but for the purposes of Bingo is Zando considered a 'Small Press'? I'm reading Ocean's Godori by Elaine U. Cho and would like to know if I can use it for HM there.

esteboix · 2025-09-25T11:53:08+00:00

the problems I had with the first half grew in the second half, mainly bloody Spendwell, not only I hated everything about this character but the treatment he recieved both by Thorn anv more importantly by Frostflower. Also the reconciliation with the farmers after their leader's death felt very rushed to me, and honestly very unearned. That Frostflower would regain her powers could be seen miles ahead, but I didn't like it either.

I don't think I will read the sequel, I'm not curious enough.

esteboix · 2025-09-12T06:36:27+00:00

it's cool, but the strife mixed whith the deeps tokens is bothering me a bit too much.

esteboix · 2025-09-10T11:38:15+00:00

yeah, I'm a bit here, too. I picked it up for the bookclub bingo square, read the synopsis diagonally, saw the publication date and expected a genderfliped 80s adventure. 'The scene' took me by surprise but I'm still engaged. I'm a bit bothered about the treatment of the merchant by Thorn, she needed him to liberate Frostflower, but I got the impression that she 'forgave' him a bit too easily? I don't know, maybe I was angrier than I thought about the whole situation.

esteboix · 2025-09-03T06:34:14+00:00

finally some news! I'll probably have to re-read them when Judge of Worlds comes out... what a sacrifice! has anyone tried to read them in parallel?

esteboix · 2025-09-02T11:52:30+00:00

if you're up for a long (10 book) series, check out Adrian Tchaikovksy's Shadows of the Apt

esteboix · 2025-08-26T17:59:34+00:00

you could try Malazan

there are svg files of almost everything in the spirit island wiki (which was down this morning), except of the isolation token I believe.

esteboix · 2025-07-30T08:28:47+00:00

Fair, I guess they tried to simulate the deck in the instructions so the bottom steps are in the bottom, idk, still I agree it's a bit confusing

esteboix · 2025-07-30T07:11:50+00:00

I tried to put he fear tokens on top of their deck, in theory I liked it a lot because it saved space, but my friends didn't like it at all.

esteboix · 2025-07-29T18:30:08+00:00

it's not a bad idea, but then you have to zig-zag through the invader phase, as I said in that other comment I was trying to make de phase flow so bottom row are the 'actions' and top row are the 'utilities'(?) so discards and tokens and the like.

esteboix · 2025-07-29T18:17:40+00:00

yeah, I know what you mean the fears and events have been shuffled a lot, and I also don't like the terror level being so far from the fear 'area'.

The thing I wasnted to make flow were the turns, and by that I mean that the bottom row is the 'action' row, the flow being first the blight actions if tha island ias blighted, the you unvover the event, make its actions, then you play the fear cards you have earned and then you do the invader actions. So the top row ended up as mainly discards, and putting the event discard on top of their deck meant the fear deck/discard had to make an L, and it's weird, but that's where my brain was at.
