#oh boy does it show us that Indigo Cloud is the most abusive shithole you'd never want to live in.

if you're writing a book series, make sure you re-read your entire first novel before you start writing the second book. And then when you're done writing the second book re-read the first novel again. And make sure the second novel still makes sense of the world the first novel shows you.

#Martha Wells failed this with the books of the raksura to an absuuuuuuuuurd level. #Like. It's very clear that she just did not plan ahead. and changed a bunch of stuff between the first and second books #but if you only look at what's presented in-universe without making excuses.... #oh boy does it show us that Indigo Cloud is the most abusive shithole you'd never want to live in. #No fucking wonder no one will send their kids to live with them!!! literally it is a cesspool of abuse and corruption!!! #HELLOOOOOO #Rjalker reads The Books of the Raksura #writing tips #writing advice
