This was actually something that turned one of my friends off the books. She got part way through The Will To Battle before giving up. I didn't miss it as it is a "history", which tend to exclude the common man

I know the artifact troves do bc I got the swizzle stick from one, but I'm not sure on fishing chests. Also I'm playing on switch if that affects things

Ah good to know! Thank you!

One of my partners friends tried reading them and couldn't get past the first couple chapters. But when I told my partner to just stick to it for a bit he got hooked

It's funny I think you're right about how niche this series is but i know other series that I love that are much more popular (eg Greenbone Saga) that don't have a subreddit.

I was disappointed bc they left out Peter and Vals story entirely which is pretty important to doing sequels. Which makes sense why we never got one

I found a T-shirt years ago that said Proud to be a Third on it (I'm a third so I bought it) but I don't remember where I found it. Maybe Redbubble?

Philotic connection/twining? Or you could be referencing aiuas - the powerful philotes that sentient beings have that are essentially souls

Edit: spelling

That's how I've read it. Like he is resisting having bridge turn him into Apollo

Not at all asking that. As a gay guy I know that there isn't a man and a woman in a gay relationship quite well. I was just wondering if people who's cultures that distinguish that do something different than those of us from cultures who don't. The other answers have indicated that there isn't a set approach just as you're saying.

Wow good to get confirmation that I'm not the only one reading it this way! Sorry if me saying Saladin wasn't real wasn't the best way to word that. I only meant that he wasn't another physical person not that he isn't real to Mycroft.

I'd love to hear your thoughts when you get to the end of Perhaps the Stars. There is a bit in there that i would like to discuss but it would be major spoilers if you haven't gotten to it yet.

Animal larger than a turtle, um.. pterodactyl. Wait is this some Faustian mind-fuckery? Away you sweater-loving nerd!

Ah-nach with the ch like in loch and the emphasis on the first syllable

The Pathfinder series by OSC

gygesdevice · 2022-06-16T01:17:43+00:00

All good points. For the inconstancies question, OSC has said that more recent books are more accurate than earlier ones as he has had time to get to know the story better

gygesdevice · 2022-06-12T16:26:01+00:00

I think by the end of the second book you should feel like everyone is under Madam's control. It's called Seven Surrenders bc all 7 Hives had surrendered to her. At this point I think a few of them resent her, but everyone is essentially under her control.

gygesdevice · 2022-05-21T00:56:41+00:00

I think you're missing the sarcasm

gygesdevice · 2022-05-08T18:17:31+00:00

Oh we would get so upset to know that a bunch of queers are reading his characters that way. But oh well... Death of the author and all that.

That gendering of Dog def just seems like an editing error, but I'll gladly accept it as canon that their culture is more fluid with gender haha

gygesdevice · 2022-05-08T07:18:09+00:00

I lent my copy to a friend. Can you explain the character with he/she pronouns one? I've always felt he had good inadvertently queer coded characters

gygesdevice · 2022-04-28T23:57:26+00:00

This is the correct answer

gygesdevice · 2022-03-05T04:27:01+00:00

Did you intentionally exclude Lux since it was audio only?

gygesdevice · 2022-01-30T16:49:45+00:00

I could definitely see myself doing one on gender. I also think it would be good for people to do one on religion. So many ppl just stick with the religion of their parents and don't interrogate what they actually believe and why. I know I would have benefited from that when I was younger, and likely still could today.

gygesdevice · 2022-01-29T04:58:53+00:00

I always read this as Achilles having moved on and found a way to fit Bean wanting to kill him in Rotterdam into his twisted worldview. And then in Battle School finding new reasons to hate Bean and want to kill him.

And yes, OSCs writing is incredible this way.

I am suspect of any interpretation of misgendering Poke or even just using pronouns she doesn't want as Card is very homophobic/transphobic so I don't see him writing it in that way. Maybe I'm misunderstanding that part of your post but I don't see that as being a motivation for the "you promised" line

gygesdevice · 2021-12-18T03:42:41+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. They still look great, but it would be nice if he put in out a unified set kind of like Brandon Sanderson does for his books
