Glee!

Black Powder War was excellent, though I am not so sorry to have raced through it in less than 48 hours, as it was mostly a set-up book. (Even if there were not a preview for the fourth book at the back of this one, how could the series be done? Nothing has been properly resolved!) The first book works pretty well as a stand-alone, but all the rest appear to be hopelessly entangled in each other, which is just fine with me. I really want to research the era now, to see just how much has been changed with the introduction of draconic aerial corps.

I am trying very hard not to speak like the characters (and to a lesser extent, the narration) do; the book is set at the very beginning of the 1800s. I would very much like to set myself to re-reading the entire thing right now (much like Iskierka's enthusiasm), but I know Dad wants to get his hands on it and it's time to get back to studying. It's been a lovely break! (Sadly, I cannot say the same for the characters in the book. What long, busy period!)

1. Your journal colors are way different than I would have expected.
2. I had an idea for Fawkes (it's not particularly HP-ish, but I think it'd be fun): write a story where all the verbs derive from nouns. AKA I legged to the market to food some bread, etc except funnier (I thought of it from the "I mushroom you." "Heart!" exchange.
3. Feel free to reject it as stupid and silly.

And I hedgehog you.

1. They were yellow and gray for a very long time. I'm not wild about these, but red and grey/black are my default fallbacks when I'm not sure what I want to do. What would have you expected?
2. I'm going to add it to the list of ideas I've got running!
