[Removed for Amazon] Quest Academy: Book 4 (Chapters 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36)
Added 2024-09-17 14:41:54 +0000 UTCHey Everyone,
I genuinely thought today was Monday. I am so sorry.
Here are the next five chapters. Very curious what you'll all think. Loving all the comments and theories on Sophia and her weave. :)
See you all next Monday for the next batch. (I promise it'll be Monday this time)
Comments
Okay so this is my first time commenting on this book series but I really do love it and I've followed it from the very first publication. The relationship here doesn't seem as real to me. Yeah he's interested in Fabi, but he has some deep rooted attachments to Divinity. She obviously saw something when she was wearing the monocle that proves that he has feelings for even though he's denying them. That was a brilliant struck by the way. But things with Fabi falling into place just a little too easily. I love the idea of a storybook Romance like in the movies where the guy meets the girl in the middle of the ball. But real relationships are built on trust and mutual respect. They have to weather storms and can't just not into place. This is a book about a Crafter and as a crafter he needs to understand at least on instinctual level that things need to be tested and tried to really last. Plus I want to point out something from the last book. When he made the circlet for Divinity, he was not following a blueprint or making any kind of plan he was putting his heart into the craft because he actually has feelings for her. I think if you were to make something for Fabi it could never go Beyond the Mythic grade. Is skill right now is capped and the only reason why I think the circlet was able to surpass his own limitations is because he used his feelings for Divinity in The Craft. That being said I do think that there may have been a vision of him ending up with Fabi but he has a remarkable way of thwarting Divinity precognition. I get the Impressions from the story so far that Divinity has never had anyone as capable as he is of circumventing her ability before. In the end I'm hoping that the author is making this Fabi situation into a road bump in the story of Sal and Divinity. Every good Storyteller knows that stories go in cycles. A story will never truly end until it returns to its beginning. Well there are elements of that with Fabi because they had a relationship as children I don't think that there's been enough of that in the story to validate her as a love interest. Plus a part of me really wants to see Barry end up with Victoria.

2024-11-18 06:03:07 +0000 UTCI hope not. If anything it should be Mythos. So far nearly every chapter has been about that machine.
ShadowOfHavoc
2024-10-07 02:36:00 +0000 UTCI completely disagree. We have had few interaction between her and Sal, and nearly 20 chapters of hinting/teasing or discussions about Divinity's vision. That one interaction whilst fun was very clinical.

Alteron
2024-09-22 05:37:17 +0000 UTCWild thoughts: Anna Sakura has known about Sals ability since book 3 chapter 35 when she got the corset. Why did she not help her team by seeing if Sal could do something for Fabi earlier? And where are Sakura and the team support Obrien, did they not come to the meeting or did they not get invites?

2024-09-21 23:11:32 +0000 UTCI read all of book 3 in a single day and I’m caught up on book four now, eagerly waiting for more.

2024-09-21 21:30:16 +0000 UTCAre you reading the chapters posted for book 3? That's what drew me to join.

2024-09-21 00:20:14 +0000 UTCCall it the Arkwright, Richard Arkwright invented the first automated mill driven by water which was one of the first completely automated industrial processes. So you've got a pretty awesome name for a machine plus a noe to automation

James Northman
2024-09-20 09:46:22 +0000 UTCTo be honest, so far Fabi seems more like a grown-up, experienced female version of sal. Perfect for molding him into who he should be. It will be interesting to see how this will lead to a relationship at eye level.

2024-09-20 09:41:02 +0000 UTCThis book is so good. I only wish the chapters came sooner because I want to binge the whole book 😭
Mike Taylor
2024-09-19 15:23:51 +0000 UTCI think she is a bit jealous but fears to influence Sal subconsciously or that Sal thinks she has… I am sure there are futures where they don’t fall in love. For the Repair ability: I thought it is regulated by the powers she puts in. But I agree that Quest does not want to take risks.
Benjamin Hartmann
2024-09-19 09:16:16 +0000 UTCI think they're not going much attention cause they didn't die doing something heroic. Best i can tell delvers guild is about going into portal for profit. Rather the fighting back demons to reclaim land or defend people these hero joined up to be treasure hunters. The delvers guild has already been painted as a place of greed and nepotism.
Robert Pitchure
2024-09-19 00:46:30 +0000 UTCI can see quest only giving Fabi the repair ability as he worries about massive changes hurting people irreparably.
Sam
2024-09-18 23:25:44 +0000 UTCIt feels more like Divinity set this up because if she just went for Sal it would end badly. This way either he ends up with someone compatable or if it ends it will clear the way for Sal and Divinity to actually end up together.
Jason Reynolds
2024-09-18 14:50:32 +0000 UTCI think the next three books will be the borough names, Providence, Ascension and Redemption.
Jason Reynolds
2024-09-18 14:47:57 +0000 UTCIt shouldn't be forge because he has a teacher named forge and it would be a little weird to name if after a teacher he doesn't interact with a lot. I say Vulcan because it is the Roman equivalent to Hephaestus.
Jason Reynolds
2024-09-18 14:46:33 +0000 UTCI am in the same boat. Sometimes I want to close my account so I can just read it all at one time. And then the next chapters drop and I am here getting my fix.
Scott Marshall
2024-09-18 14:11:15 +0000 UTCI think Divinity is just shooting for the best future, even if she would want a relationship. She will sacrifice everything to see humanity's future continue. Now I wonder if she told Sal about Fabi just to get him looking in her direction with the right mindset.
Scott Marshall
2024-09-18 14:09:55 +0000 UTCThat's a good point about Forge already being used. It could be called a Forge Station but it's not very "stylish". Oh no. What about a "Mythical Forge".
Chris Hoopes
2024-09-18 10:37:01 +0000 UTCI don't think it's people who don't make the cut, I think it's people who don't try that she doesn't like. She makes a ton of relatively cheap intro courses for crafter's taking them through a range of subjects, considering her talents as a crafter that was a fairly massive investment of time trying to offer something that would help newer crafter's to learn outside their lessons
Thomas Todd
2024-09-18 05:38:50 +0000 UTCForge is a good name, my only problem with it is there's a character called Forge and having two things with the same name is eventually going to lead to someone getting confused. And the Delvers guild has a generally terrible reputation and some of it's members are really crap people which I think is Roberts problem with them. Plus for some of them they probably died unnecessarily, so unlike those who gave their life to save people ect there's not much Robert would be willing to say about their deaths
Thomas Todd
2024-09-18 05:36:27 +0000 UTCOoh, Forge is good. I vote Forge. 👍
Kanyau
2024-09-18 03:34:11 +0000 UTCI think you have the wrong take on fabi, because I definitely didn't get that vibe at all. It's hard to see how you got that conclusion when she literally can't use her ability at all.
C
2024-09-18 03:23:19 +0000 UTCExcellent chapters, as always too short and kind of a cliff hanger. I want to hear about their videos and guild approvals. Fabi is great so far. Hope we get to see more of her to evaluate.

2024-09-18 03:17:59 +0000 UTCThere's a few things I'd like to comment on. Or maybe, theorize on Dr Ameye, "it's only a matter of time before he (Sal) gets wisked away to work on the projects I refused to make. Weaponry that no single entity should have access to. Do you really think he (Richard) would play nice because your son is a first year?" Sal," we'll deal with any problems when they come up but the Hunter's Bureau needs me because of the Skill Master project. They won't get new or improved weaves without me so I'm safe... trust me." Dr Ameye," That's what this is! You didn't inherit the Mythcrafter ability but created it... didn't you?" Dr Ameye knew about the mythcrafter being Sal because of Chatfeild and the request for materials in book 2. He knew about prior skill weave implants but it is only at the gala that he seems to learn Sal is helping with the Skill Master project. While it is true that Sal created his own skill it is one hell of a leap for Ameye to figure that out. -----‐‐---------------------- Sal," I won't ever go to Ameye Locomotive." Dr Ameye," How are you so resolute that there are 2 levels after Mythic." I think this is the real reason Divinty isn't in the middle of things. Oracle is the Guilds secret weapon. She has her thumb on the scales of Fate no matter what Sophia might believe. -------------------‐‐---------- He (Sal) didn't want to stand in the middle of the reception area, so he quickly moved over to the table and retrieved his tablet. .... Dr Ameye announced to the room that the mythcrafter was there and a little while later Sal left the tablet with all the machines blueprints unattended to go talk. Yeah.. to be clear Upgrade and Fabi are busy, the parents are focused on Ameye and nobody is watching the tablet. Surely no one could have figured out a way to copy anything off that tablet in such a short period of time. ---------------‐-‐--------------- Fabi," Hephaestus is hard to say and a little on the nose, but we could probably pick something with a little more style." My vote is for calling the machine a Forge. Unless you're planning to put the dungeon core in it and making it smart enough to do it's own calculations. Then it needs a real name. ----------‐--------------------- Fabi," I mean it though, even giving you the entire catalog of courses on the credit store wouldn't make a dent on the debt I owe you." Fabi," I still have another semester to go and I'll be taking as many Master classes as possible." Could she be his Essence Programming Instructor? She said she had another semester to finish up. If she had a free period she could take over the course. If she really offers a whole catalog of online courses it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to do a class. Maybe have a Master Class instructor come in after she's got Sal caught up. And they can both learn under them. Chapter 36 is sobering with the list of deaths. I feel there's something important with Delvers having more deaths than any other guild but not sure what. Maybe they are being treated as expendable and Robert's not happy about that. Anyway. Looking forward to next week.
Chris Hoopes
2024-09-18 01:15:04 +0000 UTCI found her a bit off-putting. Sal's all about helping the underdog. Blathnaid's suggestion to recruit anyone who fails actually fits his mentality perfectly. With the right gear and weaves they wouldn't be failing. And Fabi's mentality is that if someone doesn't make the cut, they don't bring any value. I'm still hoping Divinity set them up to get Sal some relationship training to show him that what he thinks is right for him is actually exactly the wrong thing for him.

2024-09-17 22:32:46 +0000 UTCAnother amazing 5 chapters. The wait was worth it as always!!!! Can't wait to see where the next cliff hanger leaves us. So many partial stories thar keep getting cut off for another less likely story. Fabi is going to be broken after all these life changing revelations and I can't wait!!!!

Ron Blondeau
2024-09-17 21:34:38 +0000 UTCI also think potentially Divinity is doing what she does best and is course correcting a vision. Maybe by her sitting there it leads to the future she seen
Nate
2024-09-17 19:37:33 +0000 UTCThis is awesome. Can't wait till Sal builds something that puts Doc to shame. Hopefully he fixes his vending machine soon, we both know upgrade will draw that process out, and Chatfield will steal it lol
Charles Gillentine
2024-09-17 19:24:41 +0000 UTChe’s in a bit of a shit situation really with those two🤣 he might start doubting fabi’s true feelings and feel she only likes him because she feels indebted? I know that she was already friendly before she knew but it’s just hard to be that indebted to someone and not have feelings
km272727
2024-09-17 19:24:05 +0000 UTCYeah I have always felt like she was much more like Erica, she just knows she has to play to nicer side of people. Always moving people as pieces on her board to win the game. When she broke down crying to manipulate Sal and Barry, then immediately switched it off was a big red flag for me. Let's be honest, she wouldn't be in saviors without Sal.
Charles Gillentine
2024-09-17 19:22:02 +0000 UTCIs book four looking to be called Salvation maybe?
Nate
2024-09-17 19:15:57 +0000 UTCThink she might be more hurt than jealous. But I don’t think she would be a good match for Sal. She’s come off to me as being almost on her high horse at times with him. Getting mad at him for things she has seen but he hasn’t done, telling him that he needs to do better while she goes around and manipulates friends instead of telling them the truth. She can’t see everything and sometimes she doesn’t trust enough for people to do the right thing. It would also be super hard on a relationship if the other person knows what is going to happen and the other didn’t resentment could come up on both ends. I think divinity has gotten better but I like how open and honest and straightforward fabi is being.
Nozzy
2024-09-17 19:11:31 +0000 UTCFabi>> every other ship for Sal. Bring on the following chapters Because I want to see more!
C
2024-09-17 18:44:13 +0000 UTCI think Divinity is just giving Sal time with Fabi. Either it was a joke that is biting her back or she is a little jealous seeing them together and wanted some space.
Sam
2024-09-17 18:39:26 +0000 UTCThose were some great chapters!

2024-09-17 18:14:51 +0000 UTCGreat chapters! Bring on the after-party!!!

Ron Blondeau
2024-09-17 17:43:57 +0000 UTCGreat chapters as always but I still can’t believe that Divinity seemingly doesn’t even try. Through I expect there will be a lot more surprises. Especially after her admitting the thing with doc was such a small possibility that she didn’t think it would happen. On the other hand Fabi is also great. I don’t know author has me confused who I’m rooting for.
Dungeonborn
2024-09-17 17:29:42 +0000 UTCI love Fabi, she's sounds so cool.
Aaron edison
2024-09-17 17:12:38 +0000 UTCQuick question was it a shirt or coat that gave Sal the dreggs?
Nate
2024-09-17 17:03:07 +0000 UTCFive chapters a week is to slow. I must have a book a day. I am trying to wish my life away to jump to the next Monday to get the next chapters. This is all your fault and I am holding you personally responsible. :p
Dale Medford
2024-09-17 17:02:22 +0000 UTCSame tbh,, but why else would she be sitting away? maybe she’s trying to let sal get on without her in the way. She’s probably seen every scenario so it just didn’t add up
km272727
2024-09-17 16:49:26 +0000 UTCLoved the chapters, curious about many things. Divinities absence is a bit looming over the dinner. But maybe she has to establish connections. Fabi is great, but does she really think she only gets the repair ability? 😏 And is the sniper rifle already mythic grade and a part of a showcase for a new hero? 😎 The doc, well no surprise there but that is a good thing, brilliant, a bit aloof, has a grudge but still helps. Comes across like he knows when and with whom to pick a fight.
Benjamin Hartmann
2024-09-17 16:41:08 +0000 UTCI hope Divinity doesn’t go down the jealous route
Nate
2024-09-17 16:37:00 +0000 UTCreveal was a massive twist tbf and the weave one too😭 must be a reason why divinity is sitting away from them? or maybe it’s jealousy?
km272727
2024-09-17 16:26:22 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed the chapters. Particularly enjoyed Robert and the way his speech was received by Sal and the others, as well as the way he spoke about the fallen.

2024-09-17 15:56:30 +0000 UTCtftc! I don't particularly care for the doc, he's got diarrhea of the mouth but I can see he is necessary
