There's season 2? I don't have it in my Netflix account.

Now I'm curious! Will have to bump it up my TBR for the weekend slot.

Sounds like I missed quite a lot from the book by watching the series. I'll pull it to my TBR, I would love to read more about the world building and catch up with the beginning. I'm not opposed to the love triangle, just the sacrificing.

Is it similar to the TV series (if you watched it) or did they take creative liberties? I loved the world building there, but the series itself wasn't really for me, especially the love triangle in which two girls sacrifice themselves while the hero goes on adventuring.

I'l rephrase. I don't know how to answer your question any differently then what I offered. Hopefully, someone else will be able to.

There’s no way to answer your question, since the current scientific view is that humans did not evolve from monkeys. So I offered suggestions to go around that. If you want to infuse logic, I think it’s safe to assume there would be differences between the apes and monkeys-evolved humans. The...

You can create a history in which all humans evolved from all types of monkeys/chimpanzees or even all animals. Then the humans divide into clans worshipping their animal ancestors like Gods and each having a physical trait, like Blue Butt Clan and Red Butt Clan and Bee Stung Clan. Just some...

I like creepy stories. I think I’ll start a Goodreads list to keep track of all the awesome books recommendations here. So little time, so many books :)

Thank you! I’m the world’s worst cook, and eat only because I need to. I think I’ll incorporate that somehow into the story, but I still need to write food in.

True. I found it’s also the case when researching behavioral science, which are based more on theories than hard science. Technology, too, is ever changeable. And if you dig deep into the math that is the foundation of science, even 1+1 can be a subjective question. 1 leaf + 1 leaf = 2 leaves or...

Thanks for bringing up this question...I forgot about the food. I'm thinking...high protein gourmet food for the mind-magic people, street food with lots of fat and meat for the Commons, vegan for the animal-human hybrids, and gourmet animal food. To be developed after the draft is complete or...

Wow! Love this. You're so lucky, you could create your own book cover and illustrations. I've been trying to learn but I'm still drawing stick people and mandalas. :)

Thanks so much for sharing your article! I'm going to go over my world building with your checklist in mind, especially the land and map. I used a map generator to create my map, and sorta forgot to make sure the topography makes sense.

I'm reading Crown of Embers, the second book in a series about a girl chosen by God to do great things. It has adventures, funny moments, romance, and interesting characters. What I like most about this story is the way the author explores religion. The girl is chosen by God but God isn't...

Maybe this book will help clear things up: https://www.amazon.com/Sapiens-Humankind-Yuval-Noah-Harari/dp/0062316095
