It had its time in the sun but the time has come to move on!

Reefclaws in the morning, reefclaws in the evening, reefclaws at suppertime!

“Você deve passar por três provas. Premeiro: a prova de combate!”

I got into the series in 1999 right after Clash of Kings came out (second book). Read the third and fourth books as they came out, and at some point was waiting so long for book 5 that between that and the HBO show tanking hard I moved on.

If you ARE being sarcastic: I know, right?

On the off chance you *aren’t* just being sarcastic, it’s the sixth book in George R R Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, which is going on 15 years of people waiting for its publication.

Uhhh, that’s you, Vitoria, and eating people is illegal.

I’d say you should tell them to ask ChatGPT but this problem predates AI.

This is the thing about humanity: there is no way you can present information so clearly, so directly, so uncomplicatedly... that the majority of people will not still completely disregard it.

I messaged her back, "Oh, silly you. Still so naive, believing that people read or listen or absorb the information presented to them in any way."

Breven d’Deneith is an orthographical lightning rail wreck. Like I’m supposed to quickly slam the d’ into the word. (😏)

I dunno. I get it, it’s just never sat well with me how it looks.

Seriously, is it just “duh”? Like d’Orien makes sense—like in French you just run it together into the initial vowel to sound like “Dorien”. But you spell out “de” before a consonant. It looks nicer and less… forced.

Breven de Deneith, or da Deneith or di Deneith… choose your flavor.
