what is morning?

I love you Martha Wells. I love you and your beef with privatized transit and whatever happened to you at Rainforest Cafe.

mostly harrow the ninth is about meeting your in-laws

That guy from heated rivalry always looks like you just told him you went back to your shitty boyfriend again

the locked tomb is simply a story about everyone fighting over who gets to be the dead wife

Most do, but there are a lot of people in the fandom that I don't think read much, so they often think references Matt has made to other things are actually new to the book. You'll frequently see posts by people newly discovering some thing that existed long before DCC and being excited that someone is referencing the books 😭

That tracks - I've had a couple conversations with folks who said they didn't read for fun until DCC. It's great that the story appeals to so many folks and provides a positive, engaging experience. I hope it can be an entry point and not an exception!

i must say, i am a huge fan of when a book is in the middle of a very exciting plot containing many interesting problems when out of nowhere for a few pages it's like, "hey by the way, real quick, here's a detailed explanation of the city's water filtration system! i'm telling you this for a reason and you should worry about it. anyway! haha okay back to the plot" and you just get to be Scared for a while

the locked tomb aka Gideon having the worst time of her life and Harrow having the worst time of her life and Camilla having the worst time of her life and Palamedes having the worst time of his life and Nona having the best time of her life and Ianthe pretending to have the best time of her life while having the worst time of her life.
