Alright, progress on the third book is speeding up slightly. I've gotten 2.5 more chapters edited. I can feel my pace picking up again as I go, so that's good. There's still gonna be a couple weeks in the future where progress seems to stop (because I'm writing a couple more chapters), but feel free to call me Stella because I think I'm getting my groove back.

As always, do make sure you sign up for my email list at mjlindemann.com if you haven't in order to get your free copies of my short stories!


What I've been up to:

TV

Delicious in Dungeon - Not much to report. Is good. Is VERY good. I'm almost finished with the first season and then I'll be moving on to Scavenger's Reign which I'm told by many people is great!

Holy shit, Acolyte is SO good. I'm not going to spoil, but the fight sequences in the show are absolutely fantastic, and I cannot BELIEVE how bold this series is. I'm loving it.

We started the newest season of Invincible this week and it's also VERY good. We're having a great week of television in this here household.


Books

A Crown of Swords - I haven't made TOO much progress in it because... well, you'll see when you get to the "games" portion. But what I HAVE read I've enjoyed. Lots of Perrin in the book so far which is fine. I'll say that I do hate that Robert Jordan never seems to let characters say the obvious thing they SHOULD say, but that's so rampant in these books it's hardly something to complain about. It's more something you just have to accept in order to read them.


Games

I think I'm finished with Granblue Fantasy: Relink for a while unless they add some more content. Still playing some Overwatch 2 as well, but most of my focus has been on:

Nine Sols

A metroidvania with "Sekiro" style combat (which means it focuses heavily on timing and parries). It's pretty difficult, but I've managed to almost beat it within a week of purchasing it, so clearly it's not difficult enough to turn me off. There's a "rest hub" in the form of a house where a few NPC friends stay, and the characters are fleshed out through small little story moments as you bring back gifts to them. As the game progresses, the extremely clean home turns into a mess as the child you save in the beginning of the game plasters his artwork everywhere, which is VERY charming. The game is brutal and beautiful and I strongly recommend it to anyone who likes metroidvania games. My only gripe is that the translation is a little off at times, and SOMETIMES the story bits take a bit too long. A very small complaint for a stellar game. 

I'm also starting Final Fantasy XIV up again, so I can play through the new expansion. On top of that, I'm dabbling in Monster Hunter Rise with a friend. So... big week in games for me lol.
