Who does Harry own?

Also, can Dumbledore own slaves if he's dead?

Hm. I'll push through to get to the sequel, seeing as that's what I was originally interested in.

As for Queens of the Wyrd... It's a direct mirror of Kings of the Wyld? Ha. I have been wanting to read more female POV by female authors, so I might give it a try if I end up enjoying the plot arc of Kings.

The analogy to a drug dealer is on point. They're relying on users being hooked on their dopamine outlet.

I'm trying to read Kings of the Wyld at the moment, because I picked up the sequel in a bookshop and liked the prose, so figured I should read the first book (obviously).

And... it's okay... but I can't help but feel it has this constant undertone of boomer/misogynistic/wife bad humour. I'm a third of the book through and I'm really not engaged with the stakes.

Yeah, Well of Ascension is the weakest of the three - as is a little typical for Sanderson it acts as a joiner/primer for the final act in HoA.

I appreciate the healthy skepticism of typical business cycles, but at the same time - why would you buy the company and not sell upgrade parts to previous customers? If you didn't, you'd just own an overpriced laptop company amongst a dozen other cheap laptop companies.

It's only been a couple of weeks since he last appeared on the discord - maybe he just went on holiday for a couple of weeks.

I wouldn't worry.

That just seems mean and oddly judgemental, ha.

Can't you just swap weapons with marines? (Except in CE)

Well yes, but isn't the point to use progressively less fossil fuels - net zero implies we get to a point where we stop making things worse.

From there, then we can start making things better.
