    This sounds like a book for me! I just finished The Boneshard Daughter per your recommendation and I was not disappointed. Hearing you discuss this plot and its intricacies I can tell it'll catch my interest. I definitely don't need to particularly like characters in a book as long as I'm interested in what they're doing, plotting and thinking. I also love it when the plot sets one thing up but then plans don't work out and lead to many unforeseen consequences, because it creates for great opportunities to really hammer out how the characters work, what they want, need and who they are. So yeah, I'm excited now!

    I reviewed “Engines of Empire” a week ago, so I was interested in watching your review. I agree that the world, the magic, the society based on machines, and the political aspects of the book are amazing. Except for the fifth point of view character, whose name gave away his role in the story and the twist, I didn’t care about the POV characters, and I wouldn’t have been sad if they’d died. The plot, the world, and the intrigue kept me reading, when I considered not finishing it. It turned out to be one my favorite reads in January. I’m hoping in the next book the characters will have grown enough that I will care.

    Will definitely check this out! FF12 (as well as X and X-2) are my fave in the series. This book sounds like something up my alley and they books I’ve gotten based on your gushing recommendations have yet to fail me!
    Also side note: not sure if you’ve ever mentioned it or played it but I think you’d really love the Suikoden games. Deep and rich storylines, political intrigue, interesting magic system, and great characters (all 108 of them lol).

    I'm currently reading this, and I am struggling through these first chapters. It is in part because I don't really care for most of the characters right now. (It's also a NetGalley arc, and the formatting is kind of wonky).

    Well you did it again! I bought this book after hearing you rave about it and yeah - it’s really great. I think Tyreta was my least favorite of the POVs but it was still interesting enough to keep me engaged. At first I couldn’t stand Conall but by the end, I think his arc was the best developed in the series. My only complaint was the amount of profanity (I know, I know) but I’m kinda sensitive to it.

    I'm listening to the audiobook of it and yeah, agree with the plot beats in unexpected times when you least expect it, and Rosomon's twist about Fulren's actual parenthood was a gut punch I didn’t see coming, reminds me a bit of this persian folk tale of Sohrab and Rustam where the son kills his biological father in the battlefield without knowing that's his father until the moment he knows and it's way too late by then, will definitely finish it, it's so much fun to listen

    I know this isnt the point of the video, but do you have blush on your forehead? I sat here for half the video contemplating if thats always how you did your make-up, and Im just now realizing. I dont mean to be rude just the curiosity distracted me that I really want to know, LoL. The concept of the book sounds interesting. Ill have to check it out.

      I think the video is a bit overexposed. I see what you are talking about, but when she moves her head, it disappears. Maybe the settings on her camera got messed up, or a new lighting setup, or something.

    • @tulekahju
      @tulekahju 2 года назад

      @@Lilac-and-Gooseberries My first thought was that its blush being used to contour. Mainly because of how its framing the face is similar to how people apply contouring with a dark shade. I just never seen it done with blush; at least not that Im aware of. I can see how it may be construed as a sunburn too, but it's Winter here.
