I still really hate, and I know this is going to start A Debate we’ve already had, but so be it, I hate seeing Orson Scott Card compared to Wizard Book Lady either as a writer or a person, bc the fact is he’s a good writer and a vastly differently terrible person

At first I thought you meant Dianne Duane of the "So You Want to be a Wizard" Young Wizards franchise and was very confused. And then I realized you meant the other Wizard Book Lady.

Hah! I WISH Diane Duane was the Wizard Book Lady everybody knew, she’s a wonderful person and I read her books before those other ones, I was probably one of the last people in the age group for which that was the go-to wizard book as a kid

I definitely read the other series first. But Young Wizards is the one I keep going back to. Especially High Wizardry. One of my absolute favorite books. And Duane published an update where the technology is actually consistent across books! They're all set in like 2000 I think.

I was thinking about old children's book series I used to be invested in and how, like, the Animorphs series simply would not work if you tried to move the implied setting forward in time past 1996-97, even though the actual books ended in 2001

I guess that's a very strong statement to make but it's just so rooted in '90s culture in my mind, especially the tech/computer stuff and the thinly-disguised version of AOL run by Visser Three's secret clone/twin
