LOL, I have such a fun imagining that. But I am glad you will cover it so the kitten would not be in danger.Yes you told us about Pokemon Go. How cute they decorate for the season.
Did I ever tell you I play Pokemon Go? (I know I spoke about that here in Weird but I do not remember if you, Regen, were present. I comment it now because it is so fun these days. The pokestops and all the backgrounds are sporting Christmas' decorations and...snow. Lots of snow. There is also a Winter event featuring ice pokemon. Problem is here is Summer, we are having around 32 C and we even have a pokemon who has a form for each season and it is now wearing his Summer form. So...contradicting and funny.
The first book is definitely a little bit of Early Installment Weirdness like most people think Storm Front and Fool Moon do. I listened to the audiobook with I think Michael Kramer and Kate Reading? I definitely didn't love it, but I had free Audible credits and wasn't sold on the series yet.LOL. I have mentioned this before. I could not continue listening to it. Kate Reading is great. She did the Codex Alera and I liked it a lot. But I did not like Kramer's way of talking. It didn't fit this kind of story and I was too annoyed with him so I could not bring myself to listen to more. I also had a free Audible credit. I guess Kate Reading does the female parts? Maybe I'll try again.
The one thing I will say about that characterOk. I plan to continue reading the first book once I have finished An Inheritance of Magic. Looking forward to it.There is one thing I'm really, really hoping the show doesn't do. I'll know early next season if they are planning on doing it though.(click to show/hide)
I think once they reach 50s/60s it's about a decade per century ratio. Ancient Mai's in the equivalent of her late 90s. Ebenezar and LtW are unusually fit mid to late 70s. Rashid 80s. etcAnd I also believe that there are ways to gather life-force via black magic rituals, which surely are used by wizards like Kemmler to extend their life span. So maybe a warlock using black magic can be 700-800 years old, but appear "only" 300 due to stolen life-force.
@Regenbogen:
Upon what do you base that? Wizards still age… just more slowly. It makes more sense for the “good copy” cell replacement to break down over time for wizards as they age… since they do age and will eventually die of old age… just a lot later than normals. Consider River Shoulder’s worries about Listens to Wind because of LTW’s age…
