He thinks the sun shines out of her arse but he’s just got his fetishes horribly confused.
Wikipedia tell me that the next book in the series is Three Trumps Sounding. From silly fantasy to grim near future dystopia is a pretty big tonal shift don’t you think?
Q: What does it mean that a land is “dark with magic”?
A: It means the magical albedo of the land increases, absorbing heat, causing a Magical Greenhouse Effect. Only a magical Greta Thunberg can save the land.
@ARY—It’s such a badly written sentence. It could be the the hero is terribly questing with magic in a dark land, though who cares really? The whole thing could be spruced up with some repunctuation:
“A Hero’s Terrible Quest in a Dark Land, with Magic!”
Are there more words in the text than on the cover?
Why is the title of this volume harder to read than the overall one? Because it’s stupid?
And where IS Groa’s other eye? On yesterday’s cover?
Are they lighting things on fire because the magic’s made everything dark? I hope that’s not fire under the damsel. Coming to or going from, either is bad news for her undercarriage.
Was going to @ individually, but everyone is in great form today. Good Show, All!
Especial GSS to @Francis and @Tor.

Don’t be so hard on yourself, Schmidt! It’s not _that_ terrible!

The trouble with playing ‘Mousetrap’ is by the time it’s all set up everyone’s already a bit bored.

Who doesn’t like to read quest stories, especially terrible quest stories.

@THX: that must be Schmidt the Dog.
@Bibliomancer: it starts off terrible but it’s a groa.
I’ll get me coat.

Despite myself, those puns are a groa-in on me. GSS!

@TatW—”Nice and sunny, but a little brisk.” Sounds like GSS!
