Tamora Pierce had the same target demographic, and she did just fine for herself.

I just finished the Obsidian Trilogy (The Outstretched Shadow, To Light a Candle, and When Darkness Falls), and....

Fuckballs.  I loved it.  Sometimes I hate myself.

I even loved that fucktard Kellen, though I still don't think he's a very convincing main character.  Seriously, he's like Vaan in Final Fantasy XII.  All the other characters are more ( Read more... )

I guess spoilers for "To Light A Candle," though I really doubt anyone on my flist has read it ( Read more... )

HALP PLZ.

Incidentally, I'm also really pleased that I can now use "BAMF" as a term in conversation, and no one asks me wtf ( Read more... )

First, a sickness update: I'm actually feeling much better.  This must be one of those intense-but-short-lived cold/flu things.  I'm still coughing, but I can breathe more easily, and my nose is still runny, but I'm not dizzy anymore, and I had a really good sleep last night.  I slept from about ten pm until seven am, with a brief intermission for ( Read more... )

Hey, you know how love and hate are like two brothers who go on a date?  ("Who....what ( Read more... )
