This is all so interesting. Knowing it’s a Mexican derived word, it sounds way prettier in my head with a Spanish accent than the American pronunciation 😂. But also reinforces, no, it was not a coffee house in the book either. Ok, I looked it up again. I guess she toggles between describing the...

I don’t remember if they even specifically used the word cafeteria in 4th Wing, or just the concept. I suppose the exact word would throw me, but not the setting of it. Alsooo though I guess anachronistic high fantasy is a fantasy set in its own made up world with lore, magic, etc. but the...

You woulddd be correct that it’s not actually considered contemporary fantasy. I think that’s what the guy I was watching called it, but I just looked it up and it’s technically considered “anachronistic high fantasy”.

I liked that it felt literal and whimsical at the same time. Also I’ve seen your profile pic around many times, but I literally just realized it’s Link. 😂 I love ToTK lol.

It was a strange thing to pick on, but it stood out to me cause I was about to write a scene in a magical school setting and have a joke about the werewolves always getting to lunch first 🙈. But yeah, where else would they eat? I don’t think that’s a lazy setting. Oh, I didn’t even think...

So I think this is going to come down to opinion, but I’m interested to know the sentiment on “contemporary fantasy”, specifically the world building. I just watched a review video on Fourth Wing and one of his big gripes that he had was that it’s considered a fantasy, yet they attend a...

I think that’s just intense FOMO 😂

In life, I typically find sarcasm at the expense of another to be the a*hole type. Like, the kind of “playful” negging that at the end of the day is really just putting someone down disguised as humor or sarcasm. So I’d probably say the same for books, as well. I do love a good banter - quick...

Omgosh. I just really wanted to talk about 3 lol. But I’ll refrain from spoilers. First one was actually pretty good, I liked the modern fantasy and I felt like it had a stronger start than ACOTAR and ToG. I think those both get better as the series goes on. CC I felt like got worse as it went...

Ohhh all of them? Or just the first? What did you think?

Has anyone read her other series? Throne of Glass or Crescent City?

Ohhh well dang, website makes me wanna read it for sure!

Super interesting. On the flip side, yeah, how literal do you need to go when you’re storytelling through different races of creatures. From a realistic lens, that would probably impact how they talk and act. I do kind of think it’s funny - I know this started asking about children, but sort of...

Someone said using names or words from other languages and I think that’s a fun workaround. You can get a phonetic sound you’re looking for sometimes, or a cheeky nod to what you’re doing without using the exact word, but a word from another language that means the same thing. But yeah...

Idk, I guess all moms just assume the worst lol.
