I just wanted to do Briarlight

Amazon is removing our right to download Kindle books onto our computers on Feb 26.

What does this mean? It means, if you buy an ebook from Amazon and you want to use a different ereader, you will not be able to download the file onto your computer, remove its DRM using Calibre, and transfer the book to any device of your choice. After February 26, you’ll be locked to Amazon’s ecosystem indefinitely. Books will only be transferable between Amazon devices and apps. You do not own the ebooks you buy. Amazon can (and has) remove ebooks from your library.

Download them now and use the Calibre to remove the DRM. I highly suggest buying ebooks from other places from now on. Links to resources below.

Using a Kindle without Using Amazon

If you’re like me, you have a kindle and you’re not financially in the position to buy a new $130 ereader from a different brand. So what are you to do? The best thing you can do is use Libby/Overdrive. It’s very simple. The Libby app has an option to link your Amazon account to the app and so when you borrow a book from your library, it’ll automatically go to your kindle.

You can also sideload books onto your kindle if the file is compatible and DRM free. Here’s an article listing DRM free book sources.

Supporting Indie Authors

Now this is where things get tricky. Most indie authors make the bulk of their sales on Amazon. It’s awful, but that’s the nature of the beast. Use your own discretion when buying indie books from Amazon. Check and see if that author sells their books on other platforms or buy their book physically (if the option is available) so that you actually own the book you buy.

Hey, Artificer, who do you like the most out of all your companions?

I think the answers are rather conclusive, don't you?

IVYPOOL'S HEART IS AWSOME!

Like the part where she's dealing with her grief and thinks about how she sees bristlefrost in everything and some of the other moments actually made me tear up a little bit. Maybe that's just because the way she thinks when she was grieving was almost exactly like me. But I loved the book. Slate and Beach and their silly man cave made me laugh.

Are fedoras really that bad?

YES YES THEY ARE

I couldn't agree more, it's just worse warrior cats and the average person is not going to enjoy

Mini review of Clouded moon

I was curious about the story, but I just can’t find the right words to explain it.

The writing felt dull, relying too much on telling rather than showing. For example, the explanation of the character’s tragic backstory lacked depth—it was just handed to the reader instead of being woven into the narrative.

I also couldn’t connect with most of the relationships, like Wildfur and Spottedshadow. They constantly talk about how much they love each other, yet their bond never truly comes to life on the page.

As for the deaths, they were painfully predictable. Instead of feeling sad, I was just frustrated—it all felt like forced emotional manipulation rather than natural storytelling.

Their world is barely explained. Sure, it’s like Warriors but with different names, but if I knew nothing about Warriors, I wouldn’t feel invested in the story.

I shouldn’t have to pay for your Patreon just to understand the story you’re trying to sell me.

Tenelle, I love your artwork, but writing novels just isn’t your strong suit.

Avalon, seriously, man—why didn’t you say anything about the prose?
