I recently saw The Testament of Ann Lee in theaters (Japan getting it 9 months later yippee...) and holy shit does the soundtrack have a hold on me. I also watched Vertigo for the first time the other week and the soundtrack is slapping as well.

Does anyone have a certain movie soundtrack they love to have on as background noise whether while reading or doing other activities?

(Some movie composers I already know and love: Hans Zimmer for Interstellar, Joe Hisaishi for all the Studio Ghibli movies, etc.)

Why is Jason kinda useless? He hasn't done much on this quest so far and everyone else is pulling their weight and have been keeping the plot and quest going. He's also still pretty flat as a character; this was excusable in TLH since he had amnesia but, he's had barely any character growth or personality since then. I also noticed we haven't gotten many chapters (if any?) in his POV; whenever he's with other characters, it's from their POV. The whole mini quest with him and Piper getting the horn for Hercules is all in Piper's POV (and again, Jason wasn't useful 😅).

How I wish Thalia was one of the 7 instead...😔 But, maybe Jason's role is coming up and he'll be in the center of something later.

Piper and Leo have also grown on me a lot in this book. I didn't care for them in TLH but their characters are showing more complexity in this one.

I'm enjoying this so far and glad that we got most of the worldbuilding intro and Allomamcy infodumping out of the way.

I'm liking the mentor-student relationship between Kelsier and Vin. Really hoping it doesn't turn romantic some way down the line of this series. Please tell me it doesn't happen!

Looking forward to Vin's character development and seeing her grow. Her taking on the role of a fake noblewoman will be interesting (I hope). Are we gonna get another training montage? She's barely learned Allomancy and now she has to take noblewoman lessons too? Busy busy.

Hello bookworms, as you can see from the title I’m looking for a very specific type of book.

Ever since I discovered I was aroace (though an oriented aroace) I have been in search of books about lone wanderes. Books that are about a single person (it can be multiple people as well, kind of like Lord of the rings!) that ventures out on a quest/adventure that doesn’t include any type of romance for the main character, (preferably for the major side characters as well if you have anything like it, but no pressure) but just pure, loving platonic relationships, I’ve been trying to find recommendations everywhere but I feel like many websites don’t really come with anything close, the best thing I’ve found so far is “Sword of Shannara” Which I am very interested to read :D (I have heard mixed reviews about it, mainly that it’s just a rip off of LOTR, but I’ll try regardless) so it would help a ton to get some personalised recommendations as well, thank you :D 🪷🌌

I wanna start off by saying im aware PageBound is focusing on genre specific quests rather than universe/author ones and that the existing ones are quite old. This is just for fun and im curious to see what others think 🤭

Hypothetically if you were able to create a universe/author specific quest right now, which would you choose and why? The more niche and unique, the better! And ofcourse as a bonus, what badge should such quest have? :0

Im honestly unsure myself, as some authors have books that are unconnected and won’t fit nicely in a quest and some universes are so small they’ll barely fill up a side quest 😩 looking forward to seeing yall’s ideas ✨

I may have waited too many years for this. I'm very excited!!! The writing for now (the prologue) seems beautiful, neat and suggestive. And I did not expect the main character to be a girl???

I’m not sure I’m understanding everything so far, but judging by everyone else’s posts, that seems to be pretty normal, so that’s reassuring 😁

I’m really loving the little bits of botanical horror and weird plant magic. It’s one of my favorite genres, so I’m very excited to see where it goes.

Also, I already love Din and Ana’s dynamic. They’re giving me iconic duo energy, like a reverse B99 Captain Holt and Jake, and I’m absolutely here for it!

I’m not sure how I feel about the audiobook, though. For those of you who’ve listened to it, is it worth sticking with, or would you recommend switching to only reading the book instead? (Im currently reading it while listening at the same time, it helps me focus more)
