I don't know why, but this quote is not linked to the correct Mark Lawrence. It should be linked to: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
The book it is from, The Girl and the Stars, is not listed as one the books of the Mark Lawrence who comes up when you add his name. When you add a quote, you can only choose one Mark Lawrence in the author field, and apparently it's not the correct one.

The same is true for all of the quotes found here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...
They are not linked to the correct Mark Lawrence

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments That's because the quote function is one of the rare cases on GR where the spaces (for disambiguation from authors with the same name) between the author name do really matter.
The fantasy author has two spaces between first and last name and his books appear only then.

I moved a few books and quotes to the correct profile.

Are you sure the remaining ones https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot... are really from the fantasy author?

you don't, by chance, know from which books they are? (we could add them to the books then)

I'm going to bed now, so can only look into that thread after some sleep :)

Andrea | 20 comments Huh. I never would've thought of two spaces. Thank you!!!! :D

The "it's important, when killing a non..." quote is from Red Sister. The others I don't know. I have his books in hardcover, so I can't just run a quick check on my kindle :D

Thanks again!
