What to read after Light Bringer? (Series similar to Red Rising)
August 2023 update!
Red Rising is my favorite series of all time, and since I first read it, I have sought series and books similar in both spirit and execution. Some of these recs are books I haven’t read personally, but have often come up in discussions with other users!
1. The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson
Tumblr media
Status: ongoing, expected 10 books in total, 4/10 out at the moment
Book 1: The Way of Kings. The Way of Kings takes place on the world of Roshar, where war is constantly being waged on the Shattered Plains, and the Highprinces of Alethkar fight to avenge a king that died many moons ago.
2. The Craft Sequence by Max Gladstone
Tumblr media
Status: finished, 6/6 books out.
Book 1 (in publication order): Three Parts Dead. Comprised of 6 standalone books set in the same universe, the Craft Sequence tells the tales of the city of Alt Coulumb. The city came out of the God Wars with one of its gods intact, Kos the Everburning. In return for the worship of his people, Kos provides heat and steam power to the citizens of Alt Coulumb; he is also the hub of a vast network of power relationships with other gods and god-like beings across the planet. Oh, and he has just died. If he isn’t revived in some form by the turn of the new moon, the city will descend into chaos and the finances of the globe will take a severe hit.
3. Hierarchy by James Islington
Tumblr media
Status: ongoing, 1/3 planned books out
Book 1: The Will of the many. The Will of the Many tells the story of Vis, a young orphan who is adopted by one of the sociopolitical elites of the Hierarchy. Vis is tasked with entering a prestigious magical academy with one goal – ascend the ranks, figure out what the other major branches of the government are doing, and report back. However, that isn’t quite as easy as Vis or anyone else thought it was going to be…
4. Suneater by Christopher Ruocchio
Tumblr media
Status: ongoing, 5/7 books out
Book 1: Empire of Silence. Hadrian is a man doomed to universal infamy after ordering the destruction of a sun to commit an unforgivable act of genocide. Told as a chronicle written by an older Hadrian, Empire of Silence details his earlier adventures and serves as an introduction to the characters and the setting.
5. Dune by Frank Herbert
Tumblr media
Status: completed, 6/6 books out
Book 1: Dune. Set in the distant future amidst a feudal interstellar society in which various noble houses control planetary fiefs. It tells the story of young Paul Atreides, whose family accepts the stewardship of the planet Arrakis. While the planet is an inhospitable and sparsely populated desert wasteland, it is the only source of melange, or "spice", a drug that extends life and enhances mental abilities.
6. The Expanse by James S A Corey
Tumblr media
Status: completed, 9/9 books out
Book 1: Leviathan wakes. Set hundreds of years in the future, after mankind has colonized the solar system. A hardened detective and a rogue ship's captain come together for what starts as a missing young woman and evolves into a race across the solar system to expose the greatest conspiracy in human history.
7. The First Law by Joe Abercrombie
Tumblr media
Status: completed. 3 books in the original trilogy + 3 standalone books + 3 books in the newest trilogy
Book 1: The Blade Itself. The story follows the fortunes and misfortunes of bad people who do the right thing, good people who do the wrong thing, stupid people who do the stupid thing and, well, pretty much any combination of the above. Survival is no mean feat, and at the end of the day, dumb luck might be more of an asset than any amount of planning, skill, or noble intention.
8. Cradle by Will Wight
Tumblr media
Status: completed, 12/12 books out
Book 1: Unsouled. Lindon is Unsouled, forbidden to learn the sacred arts of his clan. When faced with a looming fate he cannot ignore, he must rise beyond anything he's ever known...and forge his own Path
9. Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons (one PB’s favorites)
Tumblr media
Status: completed, 4/4 books out
Book 1: Hyperion. The story weaves the interlocking tales of a diverse group of travelers sent on a pilgrimage to the Time Tombs on Hyperion. The travelers have been sent by the Church of the Final Atonement, alternately known as the Shrike Church, and the Hegemony (the government of the human star systems) to make a request of the Shrike. As they progress in their journey, each of the pilgrims tells their tale.

in case this doesn't filter properly, it's limbus company update spoilers!! keep scrolling if you don't want to get spoiled!!!
so with the cliffhanger. uh. some thoughts
1. instead of just channeling identities, it's possible to between the worlds???? huh
1.1 I guess we know the focus sinner id now, huh.
2. considering that alt!heath turned into the death sprite and that alt!heath is described as a distant self, we're seeing lcb!heath's pov
2.1 I liked the part where Carmen said "it's distorting time!" and started distorting
2.2 interesting detail with the red text.
3. actually, where the hell is she? I don't think we were ever told what happened to the well her nervous system ended up in, and it seems like she gained some fucked up abilities after the light shone on the city. does she just exist in the collective unconscious??
4. the flashes were actually cgs (screenshots shamelessly ripped from discord)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
5. who the hell said that last line
that second one is old, but the first and third one are interesting. while the first is what fed into my theory stated in point 3, the third one is... huh. ouch.
Tumblr media
6. what is up with the last few cantos having strangely charismatic women with questionable morals and a lot of plot significance
7. as I said in another post. curious detail with ryoshu and the ring.
8. ZAYIN YI SANG ID??

Was Ishmael always your favorite from day one, or did Canto 5 swing things in her direction?
So, she wasn't like, my favorite favorite day 1, but I did have a higher opinion of her compared to the rest of the cast (barring Ryoshu and Sinclair as food name oomf was making propaganda about them like a madman), her initial demeanor also gained her extra points because I generally gravitate towards characters that Actually Respect The MC/PC i won't say no to unhinged characters can we at least pretend to be civil during work hours and not treat me like a dog? It makes me sad :(
And then Canto V dropped.
Normally, this wouldn't be. That Big of a deal, if it was in literally any other position I'd just go "oh cool, so that's what happened" and moved on.
Problem: there was probably at least 20 different sleeper agents in my brain. And all of them involved Azur Lane
(Context for confused LCB moots: Azur Lane is Arknights' weirder, hornier cousin set somewhere in a WW2-adjacent period where all of your units are warships given human form known as Shipgirls (official term: KAN-SEN) and you fight against a robotic menace known as the Sirens)
(Editing Apple: putting this under cut because... oh lird. It's long.)
I had this like, entire ramble I wanted to go off on but at some point I didn't know where to take it lmao, but the basic idea is the following:
I got into Azur Lane last year because of spite and (eldritch-ish) pirates (Hello Royal Fortune!)
Got dragged into lore rabbit hole
Got convinced to read eldritch apocalypse fanfiction of Azur Lane (Whispers of Saturn)
Loved the fanfic a lot, started making Pirate shipgirl ocs based off the fic's concept (eldritch creachurr)
First iteration of Whaleship Essex created; whale-like mermaid-siren figure who has albinism and is a little Too trigger happy with whale murder
Made her look like Ishmael LCB because haha funny reference
Devs went fuckshit crazy with the anniversary event; Marco Polo was raining the wrath of God (who, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, was a false god), the god in question was fucking up the world with a weird white membrane (which, now that I think about it, kinda acted like pallidification), the french were getting back together, everything is great
I try to add the false god(s) into the lore timeline of my Azur Lane shit, cue updates happening to Whaleship Essex where she's the only survivor of her group and knows that someone else also survived but blames them for not being able to Do Something about it
New Pirate event happens
Devs stole 2 of my OCs and made them canon (hi, Hind; hi, Galley) and they also happen to be close to Whaleship Essex while they were my OCs
I work around what the Devs have given me and decide that they're in a state of kinda died-but-not-really (long story)
(Note that I came up with all this oc stuff around like. November or something.)
Overall my hype for The Sea™ and eldritch horrors have reached an all time high
Canto V releases; I learn about it while trying to make a Limbus AU for Murder Drones
I decide to check it out because. Water.
Doomed sailor yuri
"Holy fucking shit did I just predict Canto V with my OC that's completely unrelated in every way except for the fact that she looks A Lot like Ishmael???? What?????"
Present time; I have been stuck in the Limbus hole ever since (and apparently my brain has delusionally stuck itself onto our favorite ginger sailor so uh. hi fellow ishmael irls!)
Sooooo... yeah
Basically we wouldn't be here if the stars didn't align at Halloween 2022 and Manjuu + Yostar gave the AL fans someone who isn't a pirate

Hello! I just reinstalled FEH after a few years (I dropped off during Book 4), and someone pointed me to your blog for help with figuring out the newer skills because DEAR GOD
I’m going to start digging through your posts, but if you take requests(?), I’d really appreciate a breakdown of how Smol Chrobin’s kit works because it consistently takes me 2-3 teams to take them down in Tempest Trials, my old blue mage haters don’t seem to work on them, and I have no idea why or what I should be doing better.
hiiii thank you for your ask!
you seem to have encountered the problem of duo f!robin being Unfair.
luckily you have some things going for you !
1) the youngins cannot counter at 1 range, if you smack with a strong melee unit you should be able to take em out
2) a good far save can take One hit and get some good damage on duo robin
there are also quite a few things against you
1) threat range is larger than you think due to getting another action after using reposition + orders warping
2) has after combat healing + healing with flare
3) hits like a truck
4) stupid fast ... if you haven't played for a while most if not all of your units will get doubled
...
the tldr of young chrobin kit
after using reposition buffs self. gets atk/spd stat stack , extra damage , and canto 1. also after reposition debuffs any of your units within 3 rows and 3 columns . has tempo to make sure you get pranked by special. also has a really stupid "solve for X" stat stack formula which in short gives more stats if foe is equipped with low cd special. also gets bonus damage from multiple parts of kit.
for the long explanation ...
duo chrobin prf weapon has a stupidly long description so lets see if i can break it down in a way that makes sense
duo chrobin has a exclusive debuff called "hush spectrum". the effects of hush spectrum are as follows:
1) afficted units get -5 to all stats in combat
2) afflicted units get affected by scowl at start of combat. (scowl is special cd +1 at start of combat. this happens before your first attack and regardless of who initiates. this means even if you attack with a pre charged special you will not be able to activate it on your first attack. scowl does not affect aoe specials or defensive specials)
hush spectrum is a mid turn debuff and activates after duo chrobin uses an assist skill. this will occur practically every turn in practice due to duo chrobin getting a second action (similar to legendary chrom's "to change fate") after using an assist. using an assist will also grant special cd -1 to duo chrobin allowing them to easily precharge specials.
as for other effects of the weapon, duo chrobin gets 30% pierceable damage reduction on first hit (similar to skills like remote sparrow) as well as a bonus to all stats.
feh is making you do algebra here so the formula for the stat bonus is as follows:
X = 16 - (foes maximum special cd x2) min 8
in practice the stat stack is:
+14 to all stats vs foe with 1 cd special , +12 for 2 cd , +10 for 3 cd and so on.
important to note that the current weapon description is incorrect and states that this formula is for stat debuffs on foe rather than in combat stat buff for duo chrobin. the feh twitter account stated that this would be corrected in a future update.
as for the rest of the kit...
reposition is a standard movement assist
flare is a relatively new infantry mage locked special (released with brave soren in ... august ?) it has a dynamic effect based on the user's hp when special activates.
if hp is at or above 70%, increases damage based on 60% of foe's res stat. if hp is below 70%, increases damage by 40% of foe's res stat AND heals for 30% of max hp. unlike skills like sol and aether which heal for a percentage of damage dealt, flare heals a flat 30% regardless of amount of damage dealt.
the damage increase from flare is incredibly variable making it less reliable than specials like glimmer. however, flare is a high scoring special in arena and the healing has some use case.
duo chrobin has a prf A slot skill called "Fell wyrmscale." this skill has a bunch of effects that only trigger if units hp is at or above 25% at the START of combat. (meaning that if you start below 25%, heal to above 25% with flare, you still do not receive the effects). the effects of fell wyrmscale are as follows:
1) grants unit +8 to all stats in combat (woo ! no solving for X this time)
2) deals bonus damage = 15% of unit's atk (in practice this is generally around 8-12 damage)
3) fully pierces damage reduction when special triggers (does NOT apply to flat damage reduction from sources like laguz friend 4 or brave dimitri's weapon refine. also does not apply to defensive specials or to damage reduction from specials like armored floe/beacon. also does not apply to the damage reduction provided by emblem ike's engage effect)
4) heals 7 hp after combat
i miss when prf skills were simple...
duo chrobin's b slot skill is atk/spd link 4 which provides buffs to unit and minor debuffs to foe in combat after using a MOVEMENT assist (will not apply after using rallies) the effects granted by atk spd link are as follows:
1) grants visible atk/spd +6 buff. (this visible buff means that after receiving it, unit is ineligible to receive additional atk/spd buffs provided by sources like rally atk/spd+)
2) grants canto (1) to unit and ally targeted by the movement assist
3) inflicts atk/spd -4 and def/res -2 on foe in combat
4) (more solve for X sorry) grants + X bonus damage where X = highest bonus on atk+spd among unit and allies with canto (1) active. (in practice, X usually = 12) (bonus damage does not apply to aoe specials)
luckily, the C slot skill is rather simple in comparison. inf. null follow 4 grants null follow up effect to unit and infantry allies within 2 spaces. also grants unit "orders" warping (orders warping gets its name from the skill "ground orders" allows unit to warp to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces.)
i am sorry that this unit is Unfair and i am sorry for the current state of feh. i hope this explanation is thorough but if there are any terms that i did not explain feel free to comment or send another ask.

So... Limbus Company sure is a thing, right?
...
...
...
Okay yeah, I'm just gonna' rip off this bandage will quick, because much like Tomodachi Game, this won't be leaving my head any time soon until I actually type out my thoughts and finally purge them from my mind. And with all the controversy stuff still rattling around the fanbase I figured I'd say my two cents and thing finally have these nagging thoughts leave me for... well, until I talk about other things.
In any case...
Short Version: While I've personally stepped away from the game and company, I'm not too hostile toward anyone still in it. This is a silly auto-battler phone game at the end of the day after all. Rabid niche fandom or no.
Long Version:
Where do I even begin?
To put it bluntly, I'm annoyed. Mostly because when the whole debacle over Molar Ishmael came to light I had just finished the entire season 2 pass and purchased the premium. I was locked in and was just about to write up my thouts of the series when Project Moon, the developers of the game, essentially exploded with controversy.
For those wanting a quick and dirty summary (bearing in mind this is with minimal research), the summer event of Limbus Company had some character designs that were, to put it mildly, not what certain aspects of the fandom expected or wanted, this lead to a big amount complaints, review bombs, and depending on the source some actual riots in South Korea. This outrage was also along with the controversial Uptie 4 update that was essentially a big shift in the soft level-cap, and after the previously mentioned riots Project Moon had fired one of their popular and beloved artists in a way that was probably very illegal according to some South Korean labor laws. After this legal faux pas a necromancer decided resurrect all the other skeletons that were still hiding in Project Moon's closet and essentially had them conga line out of it with all the dirty laundry that has been stinking up the company from behind.
I'm being hyperbolic about the necromancer, but several staff and contracted artists were risking NDA to speak out about mistreatment and lack of professionalism within the company. Keep in mind that a lot of misinformation has been strewn about and everything in that above paragraph, my joke about a necromancer aside, should have massive air quotes around it and be taken with a grain of salt.
My overall feelings are both disappointment and mild shrug. This isn't really anything new in terms of mismanagement corporate nonsense. Artists getting screwed over by corporations, misdirected fan outcry and borderline doxing over assumed slights, niche/small fandoms of an indie game turning rabid over something that goes against their expectations. I've been in a lot of fandoms and seen a lot of nonsense, this is nothing new. That said, like every other time this happens I tend to back away from the series until things either calm down or public apologies are made. Neither seems to have happened yet despite Project Moon's insistence on pretending things are back to normal with their continued pumping out of content.
For those wanting my earnest opinions, here's a few small points I think about in regards to this:
General Thoughts: In general, those still playing Limbus either because they don't know or care about the behind-the-scenes stuff are... fine. EA, Activision, Blizzard, and other companies don't exactly die due to them doing a lot shady and immoral acts going public. This is nothing new. That said, if Limbus Company and Project Moon go under due to all the protests and revenue losses then that's egg on the faces of those dumb enough to mindlessly consume. I'll simply say if Canto 5 isn't absolute gangbusters then a lot of people are going to look very stupid for being stubborn.
Content Creators: Because this is absolutely going to come up in certain discussions I'll say my piece here. In terms of content creators my above point is the same. This game is losing revenue and profit with the only saving grace being its next big content updating having a chance of being good enough to bring people back. It's gonna' take a hell of a lot of effort to keep the game afloat outside of an extremely dedicated niche fanbase and whales, and know that niche fanbases turn rabid fast if people take or don't take certain actions. Content Creators that haven't flipped to a different fandom are playing with fire, and they've got a good chance of being incinerated if this game truly dies.
"Boycott": For those even speaking the word "boycott" please understand that it is a known fact that Tumblr can't boycott shit. Ever. I'd recommend just stating you as an individual aren't going to be posting about Limbus for awhile and move to other fandoms. This site does not care about your moralism or virtue when the biggest complaint is that Tumblr is wonky about porn and adult content. Especially about a month or two after the controversy, you're either playing this game or you're not. Unless you're from South Korea and have boots on Ground Zero proper I wouldn't recommend screaming about boycotts unless you've got a better game with a better gacha system to crawl to. That said, everyone should play Arknights instead of Limbus Company for now.
With all that said, I'm still not completely going to jump ship. There are still some things that could bring me back to this game. These would be the following: :
Public Apology: A public apology or admittance of all the skeletons in the closet, controversies, and other mistakes recently made would go a long way in rebuilding goodwill with me. As much as I would like see to see a rehiring of fired artists I know some of those folks might had broken NDAs to speak out and professionally that wouldn't be a good look to ignore, so maybe a quiet and private restitution for those effected would be a good way of good PR.
Uptie 4 Fixes: Namely making Uptie 4 a more reasonable thing in terms or game resources and time by lowering the cost of thread needed would be nice. Not a thing that'd completely bring me back, but something nice to make it more tempting.
Transparency: Any form of public transparency on what's happening in Project Moon would be nice. A willingness to pull the veil a little and show that things aren't completely on the up and up either by admitting that their little incidents have caused major profit loss or that their firing of certain staff as a kneejerk reaction weren't smart moves on their part will be as close to an apology as a company can get while still saving face. I'd definitely be willing to come back something like that happened and they've learned their lesson.
Okay, that's it for now. Just needed to get that off my chest. I'll talk to you folks later. Hopefully on more positive things. Maybe even about Limbus Company. Who knows?

Hiii I've been so ill for the newest limbus update please tell me your thoughts about them if you have any/if you've played
I CANT BELIEVE I NEVER ANSWERED THIS IM SO SORRY
OKAY SO long story short: i fucking loved it
its been a hot minute now since ive actually played canto 5 bc life got.. crazy busy for a while since i finished (which is when i originally intended to answer this ask thank u for ur patience OTL) so i might misremember some things + im gonna put this under a readmore since it got a little long BUT
overall i think it was really good!! i really REALLY loved the parallels between ahabs obsession w the whale and ishmaels obsession w ahab herself and like. those two being narrative foils for each other and showing what happens when choosing obsession and hatred over everything else... and how ishmael got through it w support from the other sinners and w her love for queequeg and everything and AUGH
i think my two main gripes are like... i do wish queequeg hadnt died, BUT i also know that like. they did have to keep ishmael on the bus Somehow. if queequeg had lived then ishmael wouldve left with her and not stayed on the bus, which just. cant happen for the sake of the narrative. so like. i get it!! but it did feel a little :(.
my other main gripe is that it... actually didnt feel quite hard enough?? this time?? like i know the proj moon difficulty curve is outright vertical so thats what i was expecting (note: i was playing this post-nerf so idk how it was originally and also got tips from a friend who had already beaten her) so when i beat ahab on the first go it was like. oh. Oh! I Guess I Did It! which was nice but it didnt feel Quite as satisfying as it would have if i had tried and failed a few times before working out how to do it correctly
that said tho i really did like the canto as a whole!!! there were a lot of setups for later payoffs that im excited for too (like ahab joining hermanns crew and SAUDE BEING ALIVE. I MISS HER) + there were some heathcliff moments that had me like Hi Mr. Next-Canto Why Are You Saying That. but overall i really love the screentime that ishmael got and that she got to be ANGRY AND VIOLENT AND FUCKED UP and still get through it okay. i love her

I'm not the biggest fan of either audiobooks or podcasts because I always get SO RESTLESS while listening, I have to do something else, and then when I pay attention to that something else I realize 5-10 min later I haven't been listening so I have to go back. This year I tried several audiobooks, but I basically have to be reading along to enjoy it and they all go a tiny bit slow for my taste. That said, I always welcome recs so can we get an update on your reads, Sarah? Or after NYE, no hush!
You bet! Previous update from September.
Dear Child by Romy Hausmann - Just okay. Room-esque but not as good.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
Tippi by Tippi Hedren (TSS Book Club post here)
Florence Adler Swims Forever by Rachel Beanland - Feelings!
Sea of Tranquility by Emily St John Mandel - Confusing at first to understand but all the pieces came together.
Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid - Like all TJR books, devoured this in less than a day.
The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post - For all my Kate Quinn historical fiction lovers. Great read.
Book Lovers by Emily Henry - So enjoyable and fun. (TSS Book Club post here)
The Magnolia Palace by Fiona Davis - Interesting concept but felt the split narrative wasn't necessary/interesting.
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett - Unclear how such a fascinating and action-driven plot could be so boring and unremarkable.
Shit, Actually by Lindy West - I always like breaking up my reading with a fun book. Many times I needed to stifle my own laughter while reading this in bed.
The It Girl by Ruth Ware - Murder mystery with much plot twist. Good.
The Maid by Nita Prose - Murder mystery with not really a plot twist. Fine-ish.
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus - Wry, frustrating, hilarious, compelling. A much needed breath of fresh air after a string of 'okay' books. Devoured this one.

#672: A sign of the wild and free, who draw the unaware around them with animalistic allure. The beauty of beasts is flowing manes and claws unafraid to be bared, with no restraints but the laws of nature. This post was edited 5-15-2023 after the aspect One was formally established, and updated into its relevant signs.

Montblanc Muses Maria Callas Special Edition Fountain Pen | Appelboom Pennen
Montblanc Muses Maria Callas Special Edition Fountain Pen | Appelboom Pennen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i41mNxsT_O8 The Montblanc Muses Maria Callas Special Edition is dedicated to one of the most charismatic sopranos of the 20th century and appreciated style icon. With her talent, passion and personality, she embodied a certain ideal of the operatic diva. In some of the world’s greatest opera houses, from La Scala in Milan, to the Paris Opera, to New York’s Metropolitan Opera, she was known as “La Divina” – the divine one. The edition highlights one of her favourite colours, turquoise, in the precious resin of the cap and barrel, while reflecting Maria Callas’s graceful beauty in its slender, elegant silhouette. In memory of her sea-encircled Greek homeland, the platinum-coated clip is decorated with a stone whose colour is reminiscent of the radiant turquoise blue of the Aegean Sea. A costume detail from one of her recognizable bel canto roles, Bellini’s “Norma”, is reflected in a pattern of laurel leaves surrounding the platinum-coated cone of the edition along with the embossed signature of the celebrated soprano. The handcrafted Au 585 solid gold, rhodium-coated nib is embossed with the kohl outlined cat eyes so typical of her image, as well as the name that is inseparable from Maria Callas: “La Divina”. 🔔Join the Appelboom Pennen community and stay updated on the coolest and newest pens: https://www.youtube.com/@AppelboomPennen/featured ✅ Stay Connected With Us. 👉Facebook: https://ift.tt/0fobV3J 👉Instagram: https://ift.tt/4DNBbZ3 👉Twitter: https://twitter.com/appelboomLaren 👉Website: https://appelboom.com/ ✅ For Business Inquiries:[email protected] ============================= ✅ Recommended Playlists 👉New Products https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NpjqJSKzl8&list=PLYoxN5LfwWnz7ZaH7Sa1cboILvmxvqRc0 👉Montblanc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxcM172EYz4&list=PL8849558EE98B01EA ✅ Other Videos You Might Be Interested In Watching: 👉 The Pen Quiz Show - 5 - Douglas Rathbun, Hemingway Jones, and Clare Coco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrCv1i6JrMI 👉Top 3 Pens of Alex Roden (Workshop Manager at Yard-O-Led) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NUrBMDL2KM 👉Top 3 Pens of Marc Kompaneyets (Marc Kompaneyets Studio) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sai3zv-t57U 👉The Pen Fans Series: Douglas Rathbun (Inquiring Minds) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-aCX8ZnQUI 👉Top 3 Pens of Nino Marino (CEO of Delta/Maiora/Nettuno) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRenzqxor1Q ============================= ✅ About Appelboom Pennen.
