The Book Count 2022

[thatguy]

My only complaint are some of the naming conventions. The story revolves opening portals to other worlds through magic. Yet, these portals are called Spindles. I know what a spindle is. It is not a portal. So every time they mentioned the Spindle, I would get thrown out of the story because i thought it was a very poor choice of words and I decried the author's choice. Since the Spindles play such a big role in the story, I read the word a lot. Grrr.

"Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate"

...makes me think about the hyperspace in Hitchhiker's Guide:

[b]Arthur Dent:[/b]
What are you doing?
[b]Ford Prefect:[/b]
Preparing for hyperspace. It's rather unpleasantly like being drunk.
[b]Arthur Dent:[/b]
What's so wrong about being drunk?
[b]Ford Prefect:[/b]
Ask a glass of water.
