I've now read mother of learning 3 times I'm still finding things that make me go ohhhh that's what that was. It's crazy how much of this world and it's characters were built before nobody103. I know he mentioned it in his afterword, but I still find it insane. Every new piece of information becomes relevant in some way shape or form later.
Except for that medical magic red herring that I'm still bitter about, because I feel it would have fit perfectly in the in between when they dealing with soul damage. I'll admit that it would feel off going on that tangent so late in the series, but they were still bringing it up at that point.
I will say that it's not perfect by any means but still a good read if you feel like it. The keys arc in particular felt a little rushed but it makes sense given the fact they were strapped for time, I suppose and I'm choosing to interpret it as trying to give the reader a sense of franticness in line with how the characters were feeling (even though Zach and Zorian weren't in that much of a rush).
I hope Zenith of Sorcery can live up to it's predecessor, but it's a hard task, I'll also be reading it as it comes out this time so maybe I will think think of the shoehorned reminders as helpful instead of mildly patronizing
It was just like that old saying: trust your neighbor, but lock the door. Even if you trusted someone to be a moral and principled person, it was better not to tempt them with easy opportunities.

Spying on other mages was technically illegal, but everyone knew it was a common and universal practice. Hell, according to some stories, every Noble House worth its name had its own division dedicated exclusively to such practices. You just had to make sure that you weren’t caught. Even the academy, which generally tried to give students a very rose-tinted version of mage culture, admitted that such ‘professional espionage’ occurred all the time. Some of it was entirely legal, such as analyzing a rival’s products and spellwork with divination spells, or poring over publicly available documents to see if they’d let something sensitive slip by without noticing… but such legal methods were usually very limited and mages often resorted to shadier methods. Bribing assistants and apprentices into selling out their master’s secrets, hiring burglars to raid archives and research notes, dedicated scrying campaigns, seduction plots… the possibilities were endless, and new ones were devised every day. As well as countermeasures for such.

haven’t really been able to fact-check this (i’m pretty sure the quoted message is from a discord server which i don’t have access to), but it seems like MoL is getting a deal with a publishing company!! really exciting news, though I’d personally advise to hold back hopes/expectations until Nobody announces this himself (whether through his Patreon or his worldbuilding blog).
the screenshot is from this post in MoL’s reddit btw. all (most?) MoL fanpodcasts have been taken down throught the past week or so, it seems (you can find at least one other post in the reddit addressing this about another fanpodcast)
I wonder if this deal is only for the rights to the official audiobook or if this means a physical version is really in the works... MoL would need quite a few books to fit the entire novel, after all (between 5 and 8, most likely. keep in mind that it’s about 2000-3000 pages long, depending on the format used), though maybe the publishers might only release the first ‘book’ and wait to see how if it does well before going after the entire thing?
also nice to see that Voraces would be the one doing the audiobook! I personally prefer reading rather than listening to audiobooks so in truth i haven’t listened much of his, but from what I remember it was pretty good (...didn’t like Kiri’s voice, but otherwise enjoyed it)
heeeeeeeeey
so, MoL fandom, in case you haven’t seen the update on his patreon yet, Nobody announced yesterday that he’ll write Zenith of Sorcery next!!!
I’ve been holding myself back from reading the ideas he posted some months ago to avoid spoilers, but when I saw that I just... got weak, I suppose, and ended up losing to my excitement and reading the idea for Zenith (didn’t read the others tho). I personally really like it!! (and I know it’s way too soon to say this, but wouldn’t a crossover between Zenith and MoL be really really cool?? oh, man, I’m so excited...)
I’m honestly just desperate to read Nobody’s writing again (though he can take as much time as he needs. I personally wouldn’t mind waiting a few years, so long as he’s healthy and well)
just that, really, I only wanted to tell anyone who hasn’t seen the update yet about it :D
(also, have you guys noticed that Zenith would follow the ‘main-characters’-names-start-with-a-Z’ thing that Nobody has?? I’d honestly love if Nobody kept that consistent for all/most of his stories cuz its a really fun characteristic of his writing imo) (rip Infinite dungeon btw, i didn’t read the idea so idk what it’s about and Nobody said he might still sorta write it, but uh yeah rip)
I'm thinking about writing some Mother of Learning fanfiction, would anyone be interested?
