Well I’m fairly confident they won’t be generic to me. xD

Which is exactly what makes it so funny XD For me it’s like “I know four people with this name” and to you it’s more like “How are you supposed to pronounce this eldritch nonsense?” XD I’m really glad the translator made that choice.

Man, I wish they’d kept “Joke” as a nam…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

and then this book has the most generic old-fashioned Dutch names

Well I’m fairly confident they won’t be generic to me. xD

I plan to start drafting book 3 next week monday so we’re close together!

Yep. 🙂

I’m really excited to start, I think I’ll really enjoy writing this book.

Same here, I love all my characters before I’ve…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

It also struck me as very funny that Liorah would have absolutely murdered Lorcan for like half the things he’s said to her and now she just laughs it off?? There has been✨character development!!✨

Hehe it seems there has! It would have been so funny to see her try to hack him to bits while he dodges out of the way smiling and s…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

I am flattered that Liorah thinks so

I really wasn’t expecting her to say that XD She’s kind of surprising me by how much grace she can give people. I mean, yeah, that was her entire character arc for the second book but I’m still surprised she learned her lesson XD

It also struck me as very funny that Liorah would have…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

Alright then, after I read it, I’ll come back and see how badly I mispronounced them.

LOL, in the preview I saw that the translator did switch out a couple that would be too weird to prounounce.

I find it very funny because Letter for the King and some of her fantasy books have these really outlandish names like “Jiacomo” and “…[Read more]

He probably wasn’t a bad person at heart, but I was going to snap if I talked to him much longer, and I really didn’t want to do that.

@rose-colored-fancy I am flattered that Liorah thinks so🤣

@rose-colored-fancy

Tell me when you’ve read it! I can rant about those books for ages (as you’ve seen XD) My favorite characters are Rosemary and Geert-Jan.

Will do.

(You’re going to have a fun time with the Dutch names, as far as I could see from the preview they left most of them original

Liorah

Lorcan scowled at me, then started to laugh, the first time I’d ever seen him do so.

The mixture of startlement and warmth was the same as the first time I’d heard Aydin laugh. My memory flitted back to that time and I smiled, slightly. I didn’t wish those days back, it had been filled with bitter heartbreak and heavy days, but that was…[Read more]

*Adds another book to my read list

That sounds great!

*Moves it higher on my reading list

I’m pumped.

@this-is-not-an-alien

Haha happy to hear it😂😂

Lorcan

Lorcan felt the irritation towards Liorah’s words grow – then it suddenly evaporated. And he burst out laughing.

Lorcan wasn’t sure what to make of this sudden outburst, this breaking down of his icy wall – then again, nothing was normal anymore.

Liorah looked at him like he had gone cra…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

I hold to the claim that Dickens is better as an audiobook so you can do something else while he rambles

I concur. xD

Also! While looking it up yesterday I saw that they finally translated “The Song of Seven” also by Tonke Dragt.

*Adds another book to my read list

That sounds great!

The book has fantastic side chara…

For Sci-Fi, check out the Ender Saga and Asimov’s original Foundation trilogy (the prequels are also good, though not as good as the trilogy. I don’t recommend the sequels.)

N.D.Wilson’s Ashtown Burials series is phenomenal. Christian author and super creative. Intense, original, and timeless.

For the record, it is 3 am here and I’m replying to you so I hope that means something to you

Erynne! Go to bed! It really could have waited until the morning. *Shakes head in mom-friend*

It seems like you really want to add this romance, so I say go for it. If it is unecessary, it won’t ruin your story. Most published books have u…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

That is what really didn’t make much sense to me, considering he is her closest friend and everything, and all her focus is on Peeta. The first two books are great overall though.

Huh, that’s actually a really good point. I think making Gale a more interesting character by himself would fix a lot of that, he was just boring on all a…[Read more]

I can’t copy and paste so it’s hard to do the quote thing here so just try to follow.

I completely see what you’re saying however I do think that having romance does make it more realistic. My mom has always said that most often if…[Read more]

@erynne

Hi Erynne!

I am always down for some [appropriate] romance so I naturally like writing it.

So, I’m on the other far end of the spectrum. I’m skeptical of romance nine times out of ten. I just genuinely do not like reading it.

However, I’ve found that writing it is a lot more fun, so I do have a romance sub-plot in my project.

But I got…
