Did 300 pages really get cut, or was that Orlion person just making that all up? 9XX pages for the third draft, 688 for the release? I wanna know what these cuts were! Hasn't he written enough best sellers by now to ward off excessive editing and "input"?! I mean it seems pretty clear that...

OOOOO I actually did read that in like 2nd grade or so. I pretty well forget everything about it except Fofofofofofluterflam. And Gurgi, or is that Pirates of dark water?

Maybe the Harichari will become human at the series finale!

Related note, when do they gain their mind-meld powers? I mean, plot-wise I'm sure they had it all along. But I am halfway through Ill Earth War and the Harrykarrys don't use it/demonstrate it/appear to have it, so far.

But the Lords do.

Yeah he is, so is Pahni. But they aren't originally Mahrtiir's cords, I think. I really really remember them describing Mahrtiir as 30s. Oi Oi I wish I could check. Then again, look how tiny Revelstone is on the original Ill-earth war cover. Also how different Caerroil Wildwood looks on the Ill Eart...

Isn't Bhapa one of Hami's cords, who sort of got adopted by Mahrtiir, as he was comparatively younger and destiny filled, not content to just tend the Ranhyn and eager for battle? And thus was the Manethrall selected to leave the herd and go off with Linden. I think Doan was the old Manethrall who s...

When he keeps repeating her comment about how she does not forgive? I think she says it out loud like once, and he keeps repeating it forever. I assumed it was him saying that he understood her feelings and or had his eye on her (eye, singular, see what I did there?). But i'm re-reading the original...

I'm sure you guys know this but fron a related thread re the glossary of AATE the term ak haru ia a supreme Haruchai honorific, a state to be aspired to (but obviousely not limited to use for Haruchai only because) Kenaustin Ardenol is the true name of the Theomach. ie ak haru is a title. No I know...

I want to say he could have, but Covenant is sooooooooooooo determined to not believe, which is why Lena gets raped to begin with. It is really starting to seem like TC is unbelieving 1% from self preservation and 99% for spite. He only disbelieves because he forces himself to, conciously it seems, ...

Oh no, I mentioned them earlier, somewhere in my first txtwall. Besides, that is what all wars are for, power, money, or land. At least he was honest about it and didn't concoct some fake villain =p Also ALSO, my instinct is to zig when you say zag, so. I am actually not trying to defend Ceaser, yet...

The bible, by far.

That rapture thing is gonna happen and we are all gonna be like whaaaaaaat

Bam! Supernecrotrollbump. I am going to find something else to do now. In my defense I was looking for good book suggestions in earlier posts!

I need a series, or stand alone book, that isn't by Piers Anthony, or SRD, or Mikhail Bulgakov. I hate cliches, tropes, and any author who uses the word 'and' under any circumstances, ever. Probably sticking to sci-fi or fantasy. I don't like series that have 9378492874 characters, because I remembe...

And SRD and GRRM both have very long breaks between books. In fact, no one has ever seen SRD and GRRM in the same room. Oh, mygod! Is that why the third trilogy took 30 years to come out, he spent that time writing the Song of wind and water series?!!?! I don't think SRD takes very long breaks betw...

Is it possible that cover is a cruel hoax, or like a study? Seems awfully, uh, colored in, to be a study. But I mean, that picture looks almost exactly like my re-release of Fatal Revenant's cover, with a photoshop head swap. If that is Mahitir...why is he...old? I loaned out my Runes of...whatever,...

One of the Insequent explains that in their youth they are drawn together for...I forget what fancy terms he used, but for partying and sex and companionship. THEN they begin their solitary quests for knowledge and...solitude. Kinda like Salmon I guess, only instead of dying they become nerds after ...

As soon as they revealed the Theomach's true name, I dug out my copy of The One Tree and checked, because I had the impression that Ak-Haru was just an old Haruchai. He is described as something like 'what Brinn or Cail might look like after...' but it doesn't say specifically that he is a super old...

I noticed in my re-reads that he uses that as some sort of random quote, it's on like page 3 of Ill Earth war after the dedication.

It must have some special meaning to SRD to bring it back via Caerroil Wildwoody 30ish years later?

They had cellphones as far back as the 80s did they not? I mean only coked out Wall Street sharks had them, but the technology was there? Also they were the size of a house?

Oh, I wasn't asking why they killed him. The senate/aristocracy/ruling class/alien overlords/what have you, would of course see him as a threat and take him out. I am asking, why do we collectively believe it? I mean, whether he was doing humanitarian things because he loved Rome, saw the terrible a...

So, I am not sure if this is the right place for this, everything in this forum seems to be current events, but I didn't see a posted rule about that. Sorry if this is the wrong place. So, anyone big on Roman history want to explain this to me? I'm reading about him since I got a bunch of Roman hist...

Or the, Flatulent Order Of People Who Think Esmer Should Be The Main Pointofview Character. His internal struggles and motivations are so much more interesting to me than the strong determined mother character. Maybe there has been, but I have never seen/played/read a character like Esmer before, th...
