Because that was me and I am struggling.

Like I don't have the time to do it anymore.

No more time.

Thank you for that prompt.

And that's an art form too, right?

Because it's rather than having kind of, and this is what you've missed.

They kind of have to incorporate it with like, here's the context that you need without kind of it feeling like I'm just being retold.

The stuff that I've already read.

That feeling of like anticipation and payoff as well when you've been waiting for something for years and then it comes out and it surpasses every kind of expectation that you had.

Like what greater thrill is there really?

And then you read it in one day and you're like, ah, crap.

Yeah, I actually enjoyed it far more than book one, which I was very happy about.

Not to say that I didn't enjoy book one, but I was kind of like, yes, this is doing kind of exactly what we talked about with the sequels, because at first I was a little bit worried because you kind of have Odessa and Evie traveling.

And a lot of the first book is kind of they're traveling through Tura and, you know, they'll get attacked by monsters and you're kind of introduced to the world.

So I was a little bit like, oh, are we going to spend a whole book

with Odessa just travelling again across the other direction of the continent.

I was like, please, no.

I mean, her name is Odessa.

Like Odysseus.

Oh, that was a stretch, but I'll take it.
