There was a character in my favourite childhood book series that was described as ‘Stalky’

Unfortunately I only knew the word ‘stocky’ at that time and as a child I thought it was one in the same-one of those insidents where you hear a word but never see it spelt.

I pictured this character with broad shoulders, a full muscular figure, and big bones.

Fast forward to the rerelease of the series, with pictures. And the character looks like this:

Stalky. He was ‘Stalky’ the whole time.

(But imagine a broad shouldered, strongman-type Lorren??)

Web of magic sounds so intriguing 👀

Web of Magic is supposed to be my palate cleanser whenever An Inconvenient Union's many plot lines and involved world building start to get overwhelming, but it's starting to grow many plot lines and involved world building of its own. It's supposed to be a fluffy little fantasy romance about a grumpy court magician and a happy-go-lucky royal guard who have to fake a relationship for Plot Reasons, but my hand slipped and now there's an assassination subplot.

A snippet:

“You said that most magicians don’t use runes in their spellcraft anymore.” “No, they’re considered hopelessly outmoded, which is short-sighted.” Dorian glanced down at the wreckage of the bowl. “This would have killed His Grace just as effectively as any curse. More effectively, some would say. All curses have counterspells. The only thing that can counteract a rune is it being found and destroyed.” “Then what magician could have done this?” “Me,” Dorian said without hesitation. “My research at the university was never popular. No one else has compiled such an extensive account of all the runes that were in use. This one—” He gestured to the bowl. “—Never made it into any of my published papers. I thought it unwise to make such an easy method of murder so widely known.” Kaleb pinched the bridge of his nose. “Are you saying that you’re the only one in Calderis who could have nearly killed the king’s uncle?” “Ah.” Kaleb heard the moment Dorian realized what he had just said. “Er—” “Please don’t confess to treason where anyone else can hear you.” Kaleb shoved the door closed behind him with his boot. Hells, if Areth had been in the room, there would already be a sword at Dorian’s throat. “Did you try to kill Duke Godfrid?” “No,” Dorian said with more offended dignity than a man with curlers in his hair should have been capable of. “And if I had, I wouldn’t do it in a way so obviously designed to put suspicion on me.” “Excellent. So glad we cleared that up.” Kaleb went to lean against the wall. “Who else has access to your research?” “The university still keeps my old office. All my research is in there. I don’t exactly bother hiding it, given my colleagues’ opinion on my work.” “Well, it looks like someone is starting to take you seriously.” Kaleb gestured to the pile of shattered clay. Dorian looked almost cheered by the prospect, which shouldn’t have been surprising.
