<blockquote>Standing gingerly, Maric listened for where the voices were coming from. As soon as he ascertained their source, he headed in the opposite direction. It was an awkward hobble at first. His legs were bruised and cramped and he might have broken some bones, but he ignored the pain.With effort, he grabbed on to low-hanging branches and pulled himself farther into the darkness.

They would pay for what they had done. If he did only one thing as King, he would make them pay.</blockquote></blockquote>

It's a fuckin' book. And, it's not choose your own adventure so there's not even pretend role-playing in it. FUCK!

Have you tried notepad?

This is the first fantasy novel that has used the word 'ascertained'.

Hey, will it be out in electronic format, do you think? Because if so, perhaps it'll be found somewhere on the seven seas of the Internet. Then brave Codexians can read it without removing anything from inventory!

I don't know how it is for you but I already have trouble finding the time to read the good stuff so I don't really want to read mediocrity. Even free.

 

[Lesifoere]

Yeah, exactly the same for me, which is why I only glanced at the sample chapter. But maybe someone'll be braver/have more spare time?
