Took me some to respond thanks to time difference. It came out right at the dead of night for me, and just around the time for the Spain v. France Euro game, lol. But anyways, glad I made the list. I consider sci-fi to be my primary genre, so to see my fantasy making the Substack elite is pure joy.

Anytime, and in part 3 I've got you, AJ Stevens and what not planned. Sorry for the delay, feel terrible or I could quickly read your stories and add them here.

As it is I've a good 4 stories for next week to look into before the 16th.

Wow! I don't know how I didn't see this earlier. I've been tied up in a heat wave and trying to get away from it, so haven't been around here for a while. Thanks for the write up. Amazing insights and I can't believe the stuff people see in my writing that I don't see for myself! Thank you!

Non, thank you. There's a reason I want to read the rest and at the start of next week, listen to your podcast my good sir!

Each of the writers here and story-tellers rock, I’m very flattered and pleased you liked this review. I plan to do another one next week (last one for the month).

Thought you already had, damn ok so that’s another story I gotta throw onto the next list.

I may have missed something, but you couldn't have published a review of Lord Of Bones since it wasn't finished yet. Now it is :D

Fair point

Out of curiosity, how did you get steampunk out of the four chapters so far?

Oh, and you didn't mention the other stories. lol.

Steampunk? Good lord. 😊

I'd say a bit of magipunk, but only slight hints of it. I remember wonderful and deep magic, grand mythological overtones, and the fantasy harem :D

Fair point

Doesn’t it have a flying ship? An airship? I consider that steampunk or out of the ordinary for traditional fantasy

Expand full comment

A flying Frigate (sort of like Hooks ship in Peter Pan,) airborne by elemental magic. But yes, a flying ship.

Fair enough.

Okay maybe steampunk is the wrong word (no duh is what my brother would say), I think maybe magi-tech

Expand full comment

Yes, magitech I think is more like it :D

Expand full comment

Good point, I think I stumbled for a term and was distracted and threw it into a category it should not have been put. I'm more clear-headed now and after a quick skim, yeeeeaaah I was not thinking here so magi-tech it is.

Besides Magi-tech sounds way cooler.

I have another fantasy Universe and in it, I do have quite a lot of magitech stuff! Perhaps I should reedit the Solver of Troubles novelette and post all chapters here, what do you think mon ami?
