Very insightful answers from RE Sanders!

Thank you for your honest review. I really appreciate it.

That is a very interesting video topic, It deserves more views!

Currently reading Revolt of the Angels, for a century old book it's remarkably relevant for todays world.

This was very helpful! I've been wanting to write alternate history for a long time, but never knew how to execute my plan. It's going to be tough but sounds like an exciting journey.

I wish these books were available somewhere other than Amazon. I stopped buying from amazon when I heard about the "accidents" at their warehouses.

Okay, I enjoyed the talk. But it wasn’t easy. Uh, uh, er, um… Please, raise your camera to eye level and quit waving your hands around. (Are you using a book to hold your window open?)

Cursing people is not what Satanist believe!! Obviously you didn't understand what you read. Making a comment about getting struck by a curse from reading this book even as a joke is just promoting misconceptions anout Satanism was bad form shame on you as a reviewer!!!

3:03 LaVeyan Satanism is not a thing, it's called Satanism, there is only one form of Satanism, all other ''forms'' or ''denominations'' are either edgy SJW (such as The Satanic Temple) or Devil Worshippers that do not adhere to the dogma that Satanism has. I thought the review was a bit vague due to your no spoiler policy, a more in depth review would do the book more honour. Little tip, try speaking more clearly by articulating more clearly, I had to skip back a few times as I could not understand what you said

Thank You so much for the opportunity!!!

Hi, The Heir's Lair I was analyzing your KZbin channel. And found some of major issue. I've identified some areas that I believe could benefit from further analysis. If you're interested, I'd be happy to provide you with a detailed report for your videos and channel. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Symun

Great review man! Just finished the book myself 🎉

*Promosm*

your form of visual artistic expression is very interesting and suggestive

This is the most embarrassing channel I've ever seen. Top video has 120 views 😂

You are perfect! The fashion Police it's ok with you!😊😘

Bro.

'PromoSM' 😓

Yeah, you seem the like the type of fuckin weirdo to spam someone on twitter lmao

Rock on! 🤘

I can't wait to see what you have in store/story for us! :)

I like the way you structured your review/analysis. Looking forward to watching more. These comprehensive type of review videos are what I enjoy watching most from booktube.

Thanks for interviewing me! 🙂

When you do something with pleasure and from the heart, it is felt! It is a direction to develop, perhaps in an official framework and with recognition! It represents you! Congratulations!

Thank you Jonathan for the opportunity.

Great review, I know what my next book purchase will be!!

I really liked the novella. The moment they thought the mission was a failure was so dark and saddening.

Hello random human I came across looking for Worldbuilding stuff

Awesome video!

Interesting, character your villain.

Well, now I have more information to improve my superhero villains. Thank you!

Good Video

Good

Thanks for the review, Jonathan, containing some nuances not picked up by others. Much appreciated.

First but also this is pretty good I’m making a superhero series so this helped a lot in forming the rogues gallery

This is my magic system, it’s called "stone craft" (Tolad language: L'ndith /ləndiθ/): -Stone craft can have many potential uses, both necessary (transportation, medicine) and trivial (cosmetics, entertainment), but it is seldom used (usually only by elites and scholars) because it can be dangerous. Stone craft manifests itself through precious crystals, called "wizard stones" (or 'khridhvel’nt' /χriðvɛlənt/ in the Tolad /tɔlad/ language). Users summon Stone craft by properly reciting Tolad incantations while making physical contact with wizard stones. If used properly, Stone craft can help its users solve problems and give the user powers such as teleportation, healing, disguise, etc. -Stone craft is mostly used by elites and scholars, as they have the resources to obtain wizard stones and learn incantations in Tolad. Although extremely rare, a handful of individuals (regardless of class) are predisposed by birth to contain quantities of wizard stones in their blood streams, which enables such individuals, called the "stone-blooded" (or 'l’ndrogh' /ləndrɔʁ), to use (or be used for) Tolad incantations without crystals. -Natural wizard stones are a limited resource which is strictly guarded by henchmen who work for the elites. However, some scholars can secretly synthesize artificial wizard stones by using fragments of natural crystals to convert other matter into it. Elites consider this conversion theft, and make attempts to persecute scholars and the stone-blooded for their usage. Stone craft can become addictive if used multiple times during a short period. For incantations, unrounded vowels require two wizard stones (for height and backness) while rounded vowels require a third for roundedness; length and stress also warrant more. Voiceless consonants require two (for place and manner of articulation) with voice and ejectivity also warranting more. Users can be defeated by simply running out of it or using it incorrectly. -After being used for an incantation, wizard stones quickly sublimate into an odorless, toxic gas which can cause temporary paralysis/vision impairment if inhaled (although this usually isn’t fatal and lasts on average temporarily for ten-15 minutes). Large scale sublimation can cause pollution and collateral damage to ecosystems. The stone-blooded are sought after and are particularly vulnerable to abduction/slavery for their natural abundance of wizard stones. Criminals are often punished with harmful incantations (in addition to the temporary paralysis/vision impairment). Wizard stones can be used to cure debilitating illnesses, but there is a price to pay; that illness must be transferred to another lifeform (usually to the aforementioned criminals). Anti-elitist possession of wizard stones is often severely punished by the elites, who fear class mobility from its usage by lower classes. -Wizard stones were created naturally by “paramount comets” (or 'k’al’nv’t' /kʼalənvət/), which impacted and their supernatural minerals became embedded within the ground. Eons later, the Tol tribes settled throughout the rugged landscape which was shaped by craters from paramount comets. As the Tol civilization developed, farmers, paid laborers, slaves, and other workers participated in architecture projects and engineering endeavors, including construction, agriculture and landscaping. One day, according to legend, four Tol slaves were ordered by their master to explore a cave in search of fresh drinking water. One of them brought a torch so they could see through the darkness and deep within the cave, they discovered beautiful rock formations covered in crystals. After one if the slaves yelled in amazement, the unstable ceiling caved in and they were buried in an avalanche of crystals. They were wounded and crystal particles became imbued in their blood streams as a result. Only one of the slaves was still conscious afterwards and made cries for help. To his amazement, the stones surrounding his body sublimated and then he passed out from blood loss and the toxic fumes. Hours later, the four slaves regained consciousness in the cave and miraculously escaped from the pile of crystals. Their language, the Tolad language, was the first language ever uttered within the crystal’s vicinity, which triggered a mutation that only allowed the crystals understand Tolad. There may be undiscovered crystals that haven’t been exposed to Tolad and thus available for another language. They were physiologically altered by the crystals, it fused with their dna and several of their descendants became the stone-blooded from the wizard stone's dominant gene. After emerging from the cave, the four men used their new abilities to free themselves from slavery and become a quadrumvirate which would unite the Tol tribes beneath a federation. Their cooperation and even distribution of land to rule within the federation enabled an era of peace and prosperity for the Tol federation, which balkanized after their deaths. During the power vacuum, Tol elites usurped control of separate territories and became fiercely protective of the wizard stones, often warring with each other over the crystals. Scholars were employed by the elites to study the wizard stones so that elites could utilize their power. -Even today, Stone craft is strictly guarded by the elites and their henchmen, although its existence is no secret. Most people among the lower classes could benefit from wizard stones but most wouldn’t dare try to obtain it from fear of severe punishments by the elites. Additionally, Tolad language resources are scarce beyond the elites’ mansions. Elites and scholars have established a wizard stone society to regulate what Tolad words and phrases can be used for incantations. These approved incantations are recorded in a text called “the canon” (or 't’avdru' /tʼavdru/), which is updated every year. Some rogue scholars illegally practice their own unapproved incantations. Although there is no particular set of clothing that distinguishes users, elites are (needless to say) the most well dressed of the classes and thus, fine linens and robes could possibly indicate usage. However, not all elites can be bothered to learn about wizard stones or how to use it. Additionally, scholars, who are the most familiar with wizard stones, are different from elites in that they generally prefer to stay away from attention. They often disguise themselves among the lower class, which also include some of the stone-blooded. The lack of incentive to procure wizard stones or resources to learn the Tolad language has made many lower class citizens indifferent to Stone craft. tl;dr: rich guys use magic crystals to do stuff sometimes.

Thank you, Jonathan.

Thanks so much for the amazing review, Jonathan!! I'm so psyched you loved it. Can't wait to see what you think of book three! And you're right...Ryanne is definitely going to have a bigger role going forward. :D

sounds interesting! keep on going! 👍

ok, the author just reached out to me and it turns out I made a mistake: the villain of the piece also is gay, not bi like I mentioned. that doesn't change the rating, however. If you still want to read it, go and check it out

Thank you SO MUCH for the review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book and found the world I'm creating engaging. As for the ending being a giant cliffhanger, that was a tough call for me! Haha. Originally, books one and two were meant to be one volume...but the story was getting too big, and it would've ended up being twice the size it is now. Hopefully, the ending of book two will make up for it! And to answer your question about the mythologies mixing, that's definitely on purpose! I think you'll understand more about it in the books to come. Not only in THE OUTCROSSED SERIES, but the subsequent series' that will inhabit the same universe. ^_^

Great review. I'm interested to check it out!

Thank you for your review :)

Both booktube and authortube are helping me with my writing, but I understand wanting to define your own brand!

Nice! Good luck with the novel! ツツツ
