The Folk Of The Air

@tlaquetzqui thank you so much! This is spectacular. I've been looking for days trying to work out what rank he'd be in - my initial thought was Pilot Officer, which I think might still be right. Such a shame, as Squadron Leader felt more fitting, but he'd be too young, even in wartime. I don't necessarily need the historical accuracy, but I want it to at least make sense to anyone reading it, you know?

My MMC is 25, my FMC is 23 - I'm also looking at the roles she would have played during the war, though I'm kind of looking more into the Night Witches sort of arena for that.

Thank you so much again - clearing up some very confusing and vague aspects of my research here! :)

Help! I can't work out my character's Royal Air Force ranking. I'm looking online but it doesn't make it clear what age bracket you'd fall in to be these roles, especially in WWII...?

Does anyone know or have any resources they found particularly helpful?

that one scene in devil wears prada where Andy says that she would have never betrayed anyone like Miranda betrayed Nigel at the end in order to save herself and her position on top in the fashion industry and Miranda Priestly is quiet for a beat before she whispers in that lilt whispy voice ”you already did”…..that was a better written psychologically dynamic scene between two characters than most modern hero/villain scenes you see today in cinema

RIGHT?! The first time I read it, I was like, "Well that's poorly worded. She could just pardon herself and then make Cardan miserable for fucking her around."

I'm really glad with the way it turned out, but it's definitely a moment where it's like, "Wow. You're so smart, but you're still so dumb."

Listen, I will admit that I couldn’t figure out amarantha’s riddle for the life of me BUT my first thought when cardan exiled Jude was “isn’t this bitch ~the crown~? Pardon yourself and go back…” and that has to count for something right???

Oh my gosh I want them. So so pretty! I genuinely wish I had the time to teach myself to bind, because do you know how many fanfic books I'd have on my shelves? And Wait & Hope would absolutely be on the top shelf. That story is just...ah. I love it.

My take on Wait and Hope by @mightbewriting ✨ I was inspired by some versions of the Penguin Clothbound Classics I saw on Pinterest. Wait and Hope was one of the first Dramione fanfics I ever read, and it holds a super special place in my heart. I just want to put this Draco in a little jar and keep him safe 🥹 WAIT AND HOPE is free to read on ao3 — keep fandom free.

@procraftination_customs, thank you SO much for sharing this amazing typeset with us, you’re an absolute angel! 🤍

I feel like a constellation of wounds, held together with string and stubbornness.

— Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing.

So yesterday, I FINALLY read Prisoner's Throne. Finally. It was enjoyable - great fun, had more references to our favorite High King and Queen than Stolen Heir did, and immersive, as usual.

However, I did find a few pacing problems. I don't know if it could have done with being a little longer, or if this duology could have also been a trilogy. I don't know. There were just some plot points that felt a little rushed.

But Holly Black truly is the Queen of Faerie - immersive writing, great world building, and wonderful characters.
