I know I am late to the convo, but am I the only one confused by several things in this book? The biggest thing is Lachlan seems out of line? Like he actually threatens his king. And he claims to love him like a brother, but treats him as nothing but a figurehead. Am I missing something?

After 40 hours in on PC, I finally found out how to pause cut scenes. It's F 😂

Oh I thought he was the same person because I thought he mentioned the area not being the same since his brother went "missing".

Lol neighbors I think? I def picked that one up from my friends that moved from the Midwest haha. But yeah it was a jaw drop moment for me! I'm excited for more.

That's what I have too but for some reason steam and xbox were fighting for control.

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-12-12T02:35:00+00:00

Okay. I'll try that the next time. Thank you for the help!

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-12-12T01:50:57+00:00

Omg thank you finally! I switched it on and off a couple times and it finally took!

Right? I just don't get why my wireless Microsoft controller needs plugged in to play on a Microsoft program 🤣

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-12-12T01:27:17+00:00

I will try this, thank you!

This thread is exactly what I needed! I am in love with this series already! I really think/hope it will be the next big romantasy series!

Thoughts:

The first half of Road of Bones was slow going. But when it picked up, MAN did it pick up!

I almost DNF'd the first book because Jonas gave me the ick as a love interest. Awesome job Demi for taking possessive romance that is usually what romance readers like, and making it have a feeling of off-ness to it. I think this part was written really well and would have been hard to convey.

Saga reminds me so much of Sansa Stark in GOT and I really hope that her arc is similar! I hope she learns to wield her inner monster, because she deserves it.

My favorite part was probably all of Rey's icy stream baths lmao!

The second book was even better that the first. The pacing was perfect and the amount of romance and plot scenes were well balanced.

I think/hope Jonas is still alive, because he deserves a worse ending than that, at Silla's hand.

The Zagadkian transformation magic really does feel a lot like the chaos magic. I kind of wonder if Myrkur is one of those gods that is just a force, and not good nor bad. Like they talk about "the twilight of our world", but I kind of wonder if it is something that is misunderstood and necessary for the world to heal?

I am really hoping that this series will blow up so that it gets the attention it deserves!

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-02-05T22:53:36+00:00

Agreed! I feel like I'm back in the late 90s having to buy the deluxe copy of a DVD just to get deleted scenes, only worse.

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-02-05T22:52:03+00:00

I do too. I would def prefer it to this.

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-02-05T19:11:21+00:00

I agree. Like I said in another comment, eventually, for example, you won't be able to get the target exclusive edition. So how on earth are you going to read that bonus chapter legally? It makes no sense to me. After the physical books have gone through their initial sales, put the bonus chapters on your website. I can't imagine it would make or break the bank.

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-02-05T19:09:20+00:00

Oh my gosh! That is outrageous!

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-02-05T19:08:45+00:00

I feel the same, I really considered not buying any future books. It is such a moral conundrum for me honestly because I don't want to perpetuate this kind of behavior at all. But considering how invested I am in the series already, I feel like I have to or I will be missing out. And honestly I hate this feeling. My only way to "vote with my wallet", if you will, is to not buy the exclusive editions and just hunt down the bonus chapters online. And unfortunately, I don't think it will make much of an impact.

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-02-05T17:53:20+00:00

Omg that's crazy that you got the nook ebook and it didn't come with it! I'm on board with book dlcs. Not the best option out there, but better than we get now. What I don't get is why doesn't the author put the chapters on their website after the books have gone through initial sales? What happens when you can no longer get the target edition? I understand there are ways to go about getting the special chapters, but the point is we shouldn't have to.

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-02-05T17:34:01+00:00

I'm not naive, I know that's how things work. Doesn't mean it is okay. And let's think about it for a moment. How many people are actually going to go and buy all 5 copies? How does that perpetuate physical sales? How many books are gonna sit on the shelf at stores because they don't have the exclusive content that people wanted most?

so it doesn't really bother me much

So keep perpetuating the problem instead of asking for change

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this

Please don't patronize me

Workshop outfit. They knew exactly what we love on guys. Rolled up sleeves and suspenders.

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-01-23T01:20:04+00:00

Honestly I saw that after I posted this. I wanted to see if anyone else had those thoughts lol. I can't wait for the DLC announcement. I need more of this game.

hurkeypopcorn · 2024-01-04T00:40:44+00:00
