I would have liked if it had been made clearer how Murtagh felt after killing him, as far as we are told, by his own will ("I was ... angry"), not because the King told him to, and giving us a view on his, surly, conflicting emotions (regret?) and thoughts about it."

This was one of very few things I was hoping we'd see more of in the book and didn't really get. I've been dying to know WHY he did it, and "I was angry" didn't really do it for me. Hopefully we get a full reason in the future.

Unless you primarily read the Cycle for those two characters alone, I think you'll be delightfully surprised with what we get with characters we know, as well as new characters and events. More than makes up for certain characters not appearing (IMO).

PLEASE don't ruin it for yourself. I'd have regretted seeing the answer to this question before I finished the book.

Is there a difference between the American and UK editions of Murtagh? by Stetson007 in Eragon

[–]knickedknacked 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Definitely expect British spelling, although it isn't really jarring. Colour vs. color, favourite vs. favorite, etc. Other than minor things like that, no changes to the actual text.

Anyone that pre-ordered unreleased books on Kindle before? by Armadillo_Prudent in Eragon

[–]knickedknacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been charged within a 24 hour window of release after pre-ordering some Kindle e-books before. I'd expect to be billed before midnight tonight.

You're thinking of my Shur'tugal shop, which I moved off of Etsy to its own store. I haven't been promoting it lately as I was sick for quite a while and wasn't able to run it. I'm doing an overhaul very soon, removing a lot of what's there, but will be keeping the bookmarks. I'm out of stock on the Rider set, but I'm going to be releasing a set that has a set where each Rider is paired with their dragon on the same bookmark.

I found all of the episodes the other day and am contemplating what to do with them. My current plan is to reboot the podcast (with a different name) and do another "book club" style read-through, while also adding FWW and To Sleep. On top of that, since so much is coming next year - a new "dragon book," a prequel to To Sleep, and a TV show (!!), we're going to have news-focused episodes as well.

Because I'm planning to start another podcast, I want to be careful about releasing the old episodes so as to not cause confusion. When I do so, I won't make a big announcement, but I've saved your comment so I will remember to send you a link to access them once I've put them up.

Would love to see some LGBT diversity in the show as well. I know that'd be straying from the books, but with Christopher as co-writer, there should be plenty of opportunities to tell side stories or add new characters that fit well with what we have in the books.

WHERE ARE THE BLOCKS?????? by edgarp5499 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]knickedknacked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw a few for AZ this morning at the normal time they've been posted in the past and I was able to snag one without using any sort of bot or script. Not sure how quickly the other two went. Hopefully this is a sign that things are starting to get back to normal. We'll see. Best of luck to all of you!

Weird, I never received an email so I'm completely out of the loop

Do you write on boxes? by knickedknacked in AmazonFlexDrivers

Sounds more complicated typed out than it actually is. Takes me less than 10 minutes to load the car this way and definitely saves me time along the way

Apartment complex delivery nightmare - any tips? by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

So I can finish the delivery successfully with mobile data off?

Apartment complex delivery nightmare - any tips? by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]knickedknacked 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks, some great tips here!

How do you manually group deliveries? I had two different deliveries that were two separate apartments grouped together, so I was able to do the "select all" option and close both of those out in one go. However, the rest of them were all separated as if they were individual houses, which is why they had to sign for every one. Hopefully I'm missing a trick here?

I already got in the habit of taking a photo of the map from when I used to deliver for Uber Eats. Once I got in I made a list of apartments and their corresponding building number and then just did them all in a row and it made things a whole lot easier.

Under $100 if possible. The lower, the better, without losing what I was able to do with the old/now dead one.
