Wizard's First Rule is the only tolerable book, if barely. They're all thinly veiled (not thinly veiled) fetish writing, or high school level political theory.
At a certain point it's clear that Terry fired enough editors that the remaining ones stopped trying.
Needs more Banks! And take Seveneves and cast it into the fire...
That's an awesome story, good choice of book for that haha.
I think the ending is awesome too! Glad you liked it. It's just as good the second time through, just give it a year or so. :)
Hey no pressure, if you remember to drop an "I liked it!", that's all I meant. :)
Yeah it's probably my "pick just one" best book. It's a wild ride! I'm interested in what you think when you finish!
Three Musketeers is different but I also really liked it. It's very amusing/funny.
Didn't the cheeto say we should nuke Gaza?
TST is doing the lord's work b/c the christofascists have lost the plot.
It's not just boring, it's a lifetime of anxiety and self hatred for breaking any number of arbitrary rules.
His ability to short out lightsabers was another Thrawnism, cortosis weave. Like Thrawn, largely wasted and apparently thrown in for no real reason.
It was... fine I guess. I liked a lot of the actors, but the plot was completely squandered. I finished it, but it's completely skippable.
They had a chance to tell an interesting story at at least one point in the show but settled for the most boring and pointless story beats instead.
The only book they could maybe get right is Consider Phlebas and maybe The State of the Art stories. Anything that features The Culture heavily would be a nightmare.
It's a shame, Look to Windward is a beautiful story.
They (Rs) voted to slash FEMA funding like a couple of weeks ago...
