Raistlin. I love his dynamic with his brother. It was so great to have his trials at the tower leave him in that weakened state. His arc is one of my favorites.

Same! I read it when I was eleven. Left me with lasting love of fantasy. I didn’t read LoTR until later on. It really is a great introduction to fantasy.

TIL! Thanks! Yeah, someone could definitely get the wrong idea on what Prachett writes from that blurb.

I haven’t looked it up, but this may have been the previous book he published when Small Gods was released.

I read this in 2021 when a lot of the world was still locked down and I was so thankful I had no where to go because I could not put it down. One of my favorite reads of all time. Connie Willis is a wonderful storyteller.

Imo, Shakespeare is really meant to be seen, not read. He didn’t write for a reader to read it, but for the actors to perform it. Even better at an outdoor venue, in my experience. Plays aren’t great reading material. They’re instruction manuals for performance.

Honestly this is a great marker of how far we’ve come. If the younger generation has to ask if something that traumatic was so prevalent then it means it’s not as strong now. We still have a long way to go in terms of policing people’s bodies, but I’m so thankful we’re not 1999 about this anymore.

I really loved reading this story. It took me to a truly magical place that I haven’t felt since I was a child reading the Hobbit, or watching Labyrinth or Willow.

It’s probably out there calling: I’m here! I’m here! I’m so glad you are!

I’m ready for a Michel Gondry Renaissance with a Bjork Soundtrack.
