#arcane ascension

Being an primarily an audiobook listener means I often get fun surprises called “this author doesn’t know how their own words are spelled”

Corin and Jin are so autistic x autistic I love them

[flowersbane]

trying to read the new arcane ascension book but i just care about these characters SO MUCH that i end up stopping after every few paragraphs just to catch my breath and process my emotions.

i literally can’t be normal about this series.

Hope can be a source of strength, but when it fails to deliver what I want, I’ve found a good degree of stubbornness to be an appropriate substitute.

Hey there fellow Arcane Ascension fans. Nice to see more of us on Tumblr. Y'all new fans or to Tumblr? Fans who just didn't look for AA stuff on Tumblr before now?

Hello! I just noticed that you also like the Arcane Ascension novels. It's nice seeing someone else who's into them.

Yes! Andrew Rowe is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! He was my introduction to the LitRPG genre and I’ve been hooked since. I’ve been listening to the audiobook versions of all his series because a gentleman named Nick Podehl does the narration for them. He’s great at making the different characters feel like characters. I sometimes forget it’s just one guy doing all the narration. I’m having fun with it and it seems like an underrated series.

Edge of The Woods...

Helluva good name, if you ask me. But can a book live up to such a name?

In my opinion: Yes.

Edge of the Woods perfectly dances the line between fairy tale mystery and full novel, never dipping too far one way or the other.

While reading it, I could see just how vibrant and magical this part of his world is, and I fell in love with it like nothing else I'd seen.

The entire book sings with a witchy, forrested vibe that struck a chord with me, and if you're a fan of that type of content, you've gotta read this book.

Some of the most common issues I see with Andrew's works include an over-focus on numbers and weaker characterization.

For the first point, this book ditches much of the numeric component of things. It does still dive fairly deeply into the technical aspects of magic, but I found that enjoyable. I do fully admit that it isn't for everyone, though.

Weaker characterization was NOT a problem in this book.

Every character we come across feels distinct, from the major players, to the minor ones. Characters who only show up a few times still stuck out handily in my mind, and there are a half dozen side characters who could be main characters in their own right, which gives the world a rich feel.

All in all, this may be my favorite book Andrew's put out thusfar.

9/10

Do you ever think about how when Corrin was isolated for all those years,the only reason he would ever by touched is to be abused

[rick-short-for-richolas]

Reread sufficiently advanced magic for the first time in it probably over a year.

Holy shit I forgot how much of a fucker Magnus was I can't wait for him to eat shit again in his duel.

Jin!

Jin!?

Corin Cadence- Arcane Ascension by Andrew Rowe

[b-chrno]

Thinking about Corin as transmasc bc of course I am. And like. It works. All his issues(tm) line up very well with being trans.

But also there’s no way Magnus Cadence would allow/accept a trans kid. Like. Even if those who take after Wyd are like. Commonly accepted. Magnus is the kind of bitch that would be an asshole about it.

i feel like you’ll understand me if you understand these four fictional characters i relate to to my very core:

[lovelylovelyartist]

Reading Arcane Ascension Series again and uuuuuugh my children, my sweet sweet traumatized children, I just want to wrap each of the characters up in soft blankets and yell at any adult that tries to talk them into life threatening quest shit, "THEYRE 17, LET THEM BE KIDS FOR A LIL LONGER, FFS"

Don't know if I'll ever write a scene that'll top
