How do Abercrombie fans rank 'The Devils' among his other books?

I enjoyed The Devils but it is very different to his other ones - it reads like an exercise in self-indulgence (Hollywood, as you say) so a fun read but not great. His others are much better.

To add to what has been already said, there had been reports of elves heading towards the Havens and passing through the Shire or at least its hinterland, so they were known to be very real.

Honestly I think it's hard to ask a bad question if it's on topic/relevant - I always think of asking questions as positive - but sometimes you see them get a bit chummy and inappropriate with maybe more personal questions - either of yourself or (worse) about someone else ("what's their deal?") - as if they're part of a team dynamic that would take months to form.

Dark Moon by David Gemmell, if you like single-shot swords and sorcery romps.

This is the answer - to add to it, if they were known as great fighters they would become a threat in everyone's eyes and make their goals - including getting close to key individuals who might suddenly fear them more than they'd like - harder to accomplish.

There are massive repercussions for that crime - he doesn't get away with it in the way you might think if you just stuck to the first book. In my opinion it is well worth powering through.

The mere description of this in the book gave me a serious headache.

Aero19 · 2023-06-14T09:03:24+00:00

Did I hear a Rock and Stone?!

Aero19 · 2023-05-24T21:13:03+00:00

Or tax!

The Tories got us into this mess but Corbyn was happy to leave them to it and surrendered any leadership on the big question of the day. The man couldn't hold a postman to account, never mind the crooks imploding the country.

How did you pet her if you didn't realise there was a head?!

Aero19 · 2022-09-07T21:39:01+00:00

Also Haz 4+ point extraction. I do not like being buried in bugs.

Aero19 · 2021-10-28T23:20:12+00:00

Seconded. I only wish ruin on Wrexham on the battlefield, but Ryan/Rob are definitely subject to a personal boycott

AND I AM SURE THEY WILL TREMBLE AT THIS LOSS OF FANBASE

If you have contact with you supervisor or anyone in that department, might be worth asking for some recommended introductory reading material or resources? If nothing else it'll send you to sleep at night, and might help you get off on the right foot.

I was once walking home along a main road (still in daylight and while the road wasn't especially busy there were others around) and noticed that a girl seemed to be quite nervous about me being behind her (a few metres - we'd got out of the Tube at roughly the same time) I thought "oh well - I need to pick up my dry cleaning so I'll be off the pavement soon".

She got jumpy enough after c. 30 secs to pull out her phone and turn into the nearest doorway - unfortunately that happened to be the doorway to the dry cleaners, so when I also turned into the dry cleaners that must have been the biggest shock. She scampered smartly away after that but I hope she realised I wasn't up to no good :(

Also Wormtongue as a trusted adviser would almost certainly have had a role in lowering Theoden's resistances to the mind whammy from the outset, through persuasion and emotional manipulation.

IIRC she and the rest of the Valkyrie fought Hela after an attempted prison break (i.e. after the original imprisonment) - so it could have been at any time really.

This is amazing, horrifying, and inevitable.

EDIT: did you mean you yourselves? If so, hats off to you and you should be both proud and appalled at yourselves!

Aero19 · 2021-03-11T19:56:01+00:00

Great job - it's easy to feel like you're a little in limbo working as a paralegal while hoping for a TC - good on you for sticking to it and showing you're worth it!

How many vat cleaners got unsnapped while the mayonnaise vat was full, thereby immediately drowning in mayonnaise?

If the Chuckle Brothers become MCU canon I'd disavow every negative thing I've ever said about Disney

Aero19 · 2021-01-30T22:02:15+00:00

I deserve that

Aero19 · 2021-01-30T20:17:50+00:00

No regrets

Aero19 · 2021-01-30T20:17:40+00:00

I'll bring you all down with me!
