![]() ![]() HARDCOVER ADULT PRICES ARE OUTLANDISH AND PREPOSTEROUS!Ģ.5 stars. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! If you're done with shoddily-constructed worlds, this is the book for you it's got a bit of a more relaxed pace than Mead's other adult books, but it's not a huge problem.ĭoes that mean it'll come out in hardcover? I loved the world-building here - Mead thinks of everything when she invents a world, and it completely shows here. This wasn't a problem for me, but I have lots of patience with Mead. Mead commonly brought things in without solid explanations (Justin's ravens, RUNA, etc.) and waited until it fit to explain them. If you like all your answers in front of your face when things are introduced, this won't be your book. Gameboard of the Gods is one of those books that you have to stick around for. I'm sorry to see so many one-star reviews on here, but I can clearly see why there are. The fact that her name is on the cover let me know I was going to like this no matter what. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for the distractions now get back to work!

That's precisely what happened to Chris McDougall and rather than take his doctors' (both of them) word for it, he set off on an epic journey to discover if man really was meant to run, especially when both doctors had just told him that he just was not meant to run (he's a big lad, like me). ![]() ![]() ![]() What do most people do when their foot starts to hurt after running?
