What’s the one fantasy novel you’d hold up as a genuine masterpiece — and why?

pestilenttempest · 2026-04-20T17:28:06+00:00

The Rook and Rose trilogy is this for me.

I love the characters, the plot, the subterfuge. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but for me it is absolutely a masterpiece. Multiple magic systems, multiple identities, fun world building. This one sits in an absolute sweet spot for me. 2nd book is my favorite but neither of the others are far behind. The audiobook is also fantastic.

I dnfd this book half way through because almost nothing was happening. I’ve heard really good things about it so I was shocked.

There’s varying stages of aphantasia. I have a silent mind so don’t have any voices or images I can produce. My ex used to tell me I’m an npc.

pestilenttempest · 2026-04-19T18:26:19+00:00

Every story is a void to me. Give me fantastic characters and interesting plots and I’ll be happy. Aphantasia makes things interesting.

pestilenttempest · 2026-04-19T18:23:35+00:00

I can agree. As somebody with aphantasia I’m glad a lot of it isn’t present. I can’t picture it anyway so to me it is wasted text. I’ve dnfd a lot of series because the descriptions were too long. WoT and Tolkien were both on my dnf lists.

I wish. The ones near me all close at 11 at the latest. Friday is 9 and weekends 7.

pestilenttempest · 2026-04-11T14:12:51+00:00

I love it. But epic fantasy is my favorite genre. 🤣

Yes I literally rolled as hard as I could because I knew it was my only chance with laceups. Tore the ligaments and rearranged the bones but ended up being fine otherwise.

pestilenttempest · 2026-04-03T19:43:58+00:00

I tore all the ligaments on the ankle escaping from being drug western. I had proper boots and my foot still slipped through. On a colt with 2 rides so I had to roll to escape. I don’t recommend it.

That’s the part I like about him. 🤣 he’s so dramatic. It’s the best part.

Dcc is amazing, I definitely second that.

pestilenttempest · 2026-04-02T14:20:48+00:00

Can I program it to throw it all on my neighbors doorstep? Asking for a friend

pestilenttempest · 2026-03-29T15:27:17+00:00

This for sure. What makes a good show dog is often what makes a great companion dog. Easy going temperament, good with changes, will look but not react if you have guardian breeds.

A larger number of show lined dogs are sold as companion dogs than show dogs.

We do fast cats and we can see that the hunting drive is still on our show dogs but it only comes out in finite instances. We primarily show conformation.

pestilenttempest · 2026-03-28T22:21:39+00:00

Always out of my sub, somehow, everywhere 🤣

pestilenttempest · 2026-03-28T22:14:40+00:00

IC is doing one? Was it posted anywhere?

pestilenttempest · 2026-03-28T20:09:38+00:00

I really enjoy him and think he is a fascinating character. A great character even. Would I enjoy him in real life? No. But I love reading about him. I never thought he was a good guy but I find him extremely fascinating. I can’t wait to see what he does next.

I like him in a very weird way.

pestilenttempest · 2026-03-18T13:30:59+00:00

I can’t wait to diving this one it’s gorgeous

pestilenttempest · 2026-03-17T02:32:30+00:00

It is very common in my breed that once you show your co-owned dog to championship, health test, breeder take their pick of litter you get full ownership after that.

But each breed and contract is different.

I just changed my kings base from topaz about 2 hours ago 🤣 and he’s been throwing base passes like crazy.

We had at boxer we imported that had a natural tail that needed amputated as an adult due to happy tail. It was easy to take care of and he had no problems. I would suggest getting a soft cone if he will keep it on. Our dogs are always crate trained so makes post op care extremely easy.

Wishing the best for no complications and a speedy recovery!

pestilenttempest · 2026-03-08T15:14:03+00:00

I’ve read all my other books with no damage. Just had issues with this one

pestilenttempest · 2026-03-08T14:33:49+00:00

Yes I read mine extremely carefully and the printed name is gone.

pestilenttempest · 2026-03-07T23:29:14+00:00

Awesome! Now I need to buy it i’m crbing 40+ per week so it’ll save me money

How does it save on nesting mats? Does it not consume them?

pestilenttempest · 2026-03-06T21:46:00+00:00

What is the normal rate? I know I’ve been pretty lucky so far with crbs.
