Lol. Ok, I do know SOME things about the characters since I started reading the first book. But, if you’d prefer me to stop so I can continue to be your guinea pig, I will. 😊 Lol. (I don’t know anything about Leon though, yet, I think…)
From what I got from it, he was in love with a girl a while ago, but then something…[Read more]

yes, you would be right.
Kill Joseph?
Hmm.
I like it.
lololololol.
Don’t worry, the book is already written, so weather he lives or dies is out of your hands. 😉

WARNING TO ANY UNSUSPECTING SNOOPERS: DO NOT OPEN THIS THREAD IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS FOR ROMANOV.
Yes, I’ve read Romanov a few times. It’s pretty good 🥲. But sad. The first time I picked it up, I got to the part (you know… that part, the middle-ish thing 💀) And I, never hearing of the Romanovs before, was like… 🤯. Then…[Read more]

No girl, I love it! I think the key to writing chaotic scenes is pacing. Like if you have a lot of long sentences people are going to get confused, but in your case, you stuck to shorter/mid-length sentences and sprinkled in only a few long ones. It worked really well 👌

Yaayyy the Loops likey
Now I’m really curious what all the characters want their wishes to be. I think I know Dante’s maybe.
So, as it happens, I am curious too. XD I have some idea of how each character would act in a survival scenario, and everyone wants to survive, buuuuuut I don’t know what each character would wish for. I have gue…[Read more]

What’s with the havoc potato thing?

hybridlore replied to the topic The magic Potato knows best in the forum Art 1 week, 1 day ago
Lolol. I got worried for a second… but I’m assuming it’s the main character who I said was similar to Adrian because he died in book 1 and so did his best friend… I think.
(I was worried for Joseph. At this point I don’t know how surprised I would be if you killed him off too. xD)

The magic potato is actually magical at this point!
This is totally Andrew. Like, how is the random method actually picking out the correct potatoes?

I just found the page where they tried to kick me off KP. lololololol.
I’ll copy it over on here if you want to see.

So, because I’m board and want to bother you (just kidding, lol)
You are one of my first readers who knows nothing about any of the characters and are meeting them all as you read. Sooooo, what do you think happened in Leon’s past that made him abandon faith on his gods? (a crazy step for a soldier as I have explained above)

Yess! 😁 Gotcha. I remembered seeing him in it, but not much. (I still gotta finish that. Did you post the whole thing on there, even the ending?)
*putting all the pieces together lol* Yeah, I could tell 😢😢.

I’m glad you like it!!!! You get bits and pieces of Joseph’s backstory in LTBL, (Aaron i there for a good part of it) but you don’t get this much. So yeah, glad you liked it.
Okay, yeah. i’ll take a look at that sentence!

Yes, it is! We had this huge thing where I was trying to kill off a character that everyone loved, and they were saying I was a danger to KP and needed to be thrown off! we were all joking of course, and the funniest thing was that KP crashed right at that point, so everyone joked that it was trying to get rid of me.

Ahhhhh! It was so good!!!! And I sobbed for Ivan!! Oh my goodness! That poor boy broke my heart! That was one of the most wrenching death scenes I have ever read, and you didn’t even see it. Just knowing what was happening, and watching Maria slowly realize it too! oh man!
And Zash! I loved him! Okay, the moment, THE MOMENT, he was introduced I…[Read more]
I know…. Ivan 😭😭😭 And poor Maria. That’s a good point–she didn’t even go into detail or anything, but you still knew what was happening and your heart was breaking for them… I might have to take some notes. 😅
Yeah, I could tell pretty soon too I think. I don’t think the author was trying to keep it a secret. Usually love interests are pretty…[Read more]
Also, Nastya as a character was amazing too. I really loved her as well.
Also, are you referring to the assassination part? Or Ivan’s part?
I know the story of the Romanovs, and I was so mad at her for building up their characters because I knew they all died. lol. I just tried really hard not to get attached.
I was referring to the assassinations, but I was also shocked when Ivan died. Yeah, I was over there with no clue what was going to happen, so it was pretty traumatic when they all died. Lol.
WHAT! Zash was so 100% my favorite of all the characters. I was so sad for him when Ivan died. Oh man. And how cruel that guy was!!!!! Ugh!
I’m going to go reread Ivan’s death scene. It was a masterpiece.
What did you think of the fantasy spin that she added to it? I enjoy how she does that with her historical fiction type books.
It was sad when Ivan died. I felt for him then. But the rest of the book, eh. He was okay. I guess I liked how he was so remorseful after trying to kill Nastya… but still.
Lol. I love the fantasy twists that she adds, but I much preferred the one in Fawkes with the color powers and the plague. This one, felt borderline because of the spell…[Read more]
True, true. i get that about the spell stuff. I normally don’t read books with magic in them.
No. i loved Zash. But then I like guys like him. I could marry Zash. (as long as he liked books. lol)
I’m guessing you probably couldn’t?
I couldn’t marry Ivan. He’s a little too gentle for me.
@ellette-giselle
Yeah. It just felt a little weird since Christians normally try to stay away from stuff like that–but then, it had nothing to do with demons or anything. So idk.
Lolol. I don’t know–I would probably have to reread it. I think I preferred Ivan. But Alexei was better than them both, so I would pick him if he didn’t feel so much…[Read more]
Haha! No I’m a Zash girl through and through. If I was ever tempted to have a book crush…….
I might like Fawkes better. I’m just not sure.
I did read somewhere that the author did the spell thing because it was going along with the theme of words having power. You know, the power of words that caused the downfall of the Romanovs, and the…[Read more]
@ellette-giselle (It’s not letting me reply to you anymore, so I have to tag I think)
Lol. Hmmmm, that’s interesting. I guess it kind of makes sense. Where did you see it?
I have not! Sure, I’d love to see it
@ellette-giselle
Oh, gotcha. It’s okay. Does sort of make sense though.
Oh, cool! She has a good voice. It sounds sad though 😢. I like the violin in the background.
@hybridlore
Yeah it is sad. But so’s her story.
It’s very russian sounding. I am partial to russian music. lol.
True, true. I didn’t realize that was what Russian music sounded like. Are you Russian at all?
@hybridlore
Wait, when did you read that? I didn’t think I posted any.
I’m not sure where… it was just a snippet. The part where the mc was talking to his brother about wanting to get married.
Ah, I remember now! I shared a scene when I shared their mood boards!
Yeah, that’s probably what it was 😅 I was stalking the forum and saw it.
makes sense.
Hey, I have a question. How would you feel about exchanging emails?
@ellette-giselle
That’s good with me! I might not be able to give you my main one since my mom prefers me to use a different one for people I don’t know irl. Give me a sec and I’ll figure it out.
Wonderful!
