Our main storyline centers on Lonan, a young man who is something of an outcast within his village. Instead Lonan finds that he has strange dreams that may lead him to a different destiny. As the story progresses, their worlds begin to intersect and the result is a fast-paced adventure with some strong twists and colorful characters. However, in places the main story is somewhat rough in the execution. The prose needs work in places and the structure is a little off here and there.
Here's a case where the cover and the story go together like a raw sausage and a hot pan. I mean, I think this cover is just sublime, and without building up any tension towards my rating this time: so was the book.
Let me start with a few words about the world building most of them copied from ' A Word from the Author ' at the end of the book. This story or actually, it's a lot of stories within a story takes place in a dark, almost borderless forest.
There are two types of peoples: the High Corvae and the Low Corvae. The Low Corvae are the people who live in small villages deep inside the forest. The High Corvae can be seen as a bit of the elite.
Both come from different places originally and it really shows in the storytelling as a whole. The Low Corvae stories are based on real-world traditional tales and folklore, mostly from Central Europe; think the Brothers Grimm.
The High Corvae stories have strong ties to Native American culture. Now if that doesn't sound absolutely fantastic and fascinating to you already, I don't know what will!
We start off in one of the small villages. As soon as the sun sets, the inhabitants retreat to their cellars while making sure to lock everything to the max because, as the title suggests, they mostly come out at night. Every night, it's the same procedure; for as long as the villagers have known. Lonan, a young man this is not YA!
Everybody hates him, except for Mother Ogma, the village healer. Mother Ogma is such a badass old lady, I believe she's my favourite character in the entire book and there are quite a few of those. When Lonan starts dreaming of the Magpie King , one of the High Corvae who's supposedly keeping the forest folk safe during the night yet no one really knows whether he's a myth or not shit starts hitting the fan.
I think that's about all of the story I'm going to give away here. I'm now simply going to tell you that this was absolutely fantastic. There are basically three storylines, neatly divided into separate chapters in a specific order, so you shouldn't get confused about it.
All three storylines are equally fascinating. If you're a fan of classic retellings or rich stories in general, this is the book for you. If you don't easily shy away from a bit of blood and guts, this is the book for you. There is depth, excitement, adventure, horror, general creepiness, and humour!
She's one feisty granny! With the rich storytelling, you won't become bored in the first place, but then there's the added bonus of some of the characters who keep dying with the intensity of Sean Bean in front of a camera. The only reason I'm a party pooper and not giving this one the full five brownies on my blog is because of a few minor things not adding up entirely. Such as Mother Ogma not believing Lonan while she was the one telling him about his Knack for something in the first place.
That's right, Knack with a capital K because a Knack is like a talent every one of the villagers eventually develops. It could be for tailoring or cleaning, but it could also be something a bit more magical. Not that I'm saying cleaning can't be magical TL; DR Fantastic world building. In-depth characters. Dark Fantasy with a twist of horror. Exquisite storytelling. Highly recommended! This is a tale of a young man, an outcast, who has carried the burden of unwarranted blame for many years after an attack on his village that left two people dead, one of which was his own father.
His life changed that fateful night, and he has been haunted ever since with scornful whispers and looks of contempt from all those he held dear. He cannot stand to be touched.
And he detests the color yellow. This improbable story of Christopher's quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog makes for one of the most captivating, unusual, and widely heralded novels in recent years. Where do you see yourself in five years? Dannie Kohan lives her life by the numbers.
She is nothing like her lifelong best friend—the wild, whimsical, believes-in-fate Bella. Dannie spends one hour exactly five years in the future before she wakes again in her own home on the brink of midnight—but it is one hour she cannot shake. An unflinching, darkly funny, and deeply moving story of a boy, his seriously ill mother, and an unexpected monstrous visitor. At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window.
The monster in his backyard is different. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. His stories are as enriching as they are captivating with stunning imagery, likeable lead characters and they are extremely addictive.
They Mostly Come Out at Night has been my favourite reading experience that Patrick has presented me so far and I consider him as one of my favourite self-published authors alongside Rob J. They Mostly Come Out at Night is presented in two distinct ways. Firstly we follow Lonan. He is a young gentleman who lives in Smithtown which is found in the middle of the forest.
He is a forager and lives a simple life. He is hated by almost everyone from the village. This is because eight years ago the grotesque creatures that haunt the forest attacked the settlement.
When Lonan sleeps he dreams about a Prince called Adahy. Social Media Stuff. Buy Me A Coffee! There's been more than just my wife and personal friends nagging me to add ways to donate to the mod, so here's a few different ways to do so that will keep me happily stocked up on coffee while I poke the XML.
Bluefang Solutions provide the mod pre-installed for you if selected on ordering and this link gives me a cut of however much you pay! Logic Servers are also very good and have provided me with a free server for testing purposes. Paypal for those who just want to make a one-off donation. Patreon for the insane folks who want to contribute on a monthly basis.
No-one will be getting preferential treatment for dedciding they want to support the mod in this manner. My personal suggestion, if you want to do so, is to go the Bluefang route if you're thinking of ordering a server. The use of SDX has allowed me to add various models and sound effects into the game, but some of these had to be purchased. As such, a Terms of Use is now required so I can properly detail what may and may not be used by other people in their projects.
Personal use is fine, but they may not be redistributed. As such, here are the lists of what may and may not be used by other modders. Available For Use. Not Available For Use. Permission will never be granted to use items in the "not available for use" list due to EULA's, so please don't ask! All of them are available on the Unity store and I am happy to provide links to the various store items if people want them and if they are still available. Any mods found using those assets will be repoted to the moderators.
You have been warned. Will give it a go, thanks for this! I've actually never played either of those, but want to at some point All my experience with mods has been Valmod, WotW, Starvation and Ravenhearst! They saw me. Also, i'm not sure when the class choice is supposed to be available? But I did the initial 2-part short tutorial, then it chained into the Find the Trader mission. Given where I was, that was going to be impossible As it gave me one some 1.
There were no items, no book to trigger the class selections etc. I'm all for a challenge, but this was overkill. Ok, will look into the bandit spawning. They're being a bit of a pain right now, because I already lowered their probability once, and then lowered it even more for the gun ones. When you get to the trader, you should get a class book in your inventory, so make sure you have room.
Any chance we can get your mod into the Game Launcher? I am sure that at some point Sphereii will be summoned from the abyss to do so. In the meantime, you can download the mod and point the mod launcher at the folder that contains the download using 'Add New My Mods'. This -usually- works. Thanks for answering that, because I honestly had no idea on how getting mods added to the mod launcher actually works.
