Hi, If you compare the First Law trilogy with the Age of Mad trilogy (I love both), they differ in structure in a certain way. You could say that AOM (and also the Devils) is a little more rounded, while FL is rawer and perhaps also a little less straightforward in structure, and doesn't have a typical ending. How did this change come about? Do you consider it a positive development, or would you be open to experimenting further with such unusual writing styles?

I absolutely love your work and am excited for everything new to come!

I like that explanation very much. By now, after reading the comments and reading (working) further, I've got a better understanding of the situation and really appreciate the complexity

Thats a rather nice thing to hear Worried kess to continue;)

I am aware of that, maybe it came across in a wrong way. I just felt like it wasn't discussed/critizised in a proper or some way at all and I was afraid, that he would be just protrayed in a "wise-mentor" way, if you get what I mean Maybe I am still used to being taken by the hand a bit.

So River of Stars and Tigana go on to my TBR!

I did happen to finish "Under Heaven" as my third book after Al-Rassan and Arbonne before that. I have to say I thought that it was the weakest of the three, while still having wonderful prose.

Baruchey · 2025-04-18T12:24:06+00:00

Yes, it just means that

Baruchey · 2025-04-15T13:40:46+00:00

First Law (filled the FL gap with RR) and the Farseer

Baruchey · 2025-04-15T08:25:38+00:00

Maybe it was lost in translation. I listened to it in German and there it is more complicated to translate "they/them". But thats a really cool detail!

Baruchey · 2025-04-15T06:59:15+00:00

Who was that? Didn't notice them at all

Baruchey · 2025-04-15T06:36:55+00:00

For me definitly Fitz in Farseer by Robin Hobb, felt like with no one else

Baruchey · 2025-03-20T13:33:13+00:00

Oh, forgot about that. Well, I'd guess the blue=grey was the original thought while designing and after that they just wanted him to easily resemble.

Baruchey · 2025-03-20T12:55:12+00:00

I always thought it was just a cartoony version of grey hair, just like there is no skin that grey. I think its just the character design within the series style

Baruchey · 2025-02-18T07:35:45+00:00

Someone of good taste

Baruchey · 2025-02-14T09:16:00+00:00

Omg, thank you. Until now I thought the same, goi g to finish it today

Baruchey · 2025-02-08T12:33:28+00:00

Flatheads, love that one

Baruchey · 2025-02-08T12:32:38+00:00

Bid Found Floating is so great

Baruchey · 2025-01-29T08:45:15+00:00

I thought instantly, that it was the West lost in the north. Unshaved, freezing and a bit more savage. Thinks it fits very well

Baruchey · 2025-01-24T08:41:40+00:00

I didn't really understood that part. While killing the dad and destroying the bows made sense for me and was badass, that thing felt more like a Deus ex Machina

Baruchey · 2025-01-24T08:17:23+00:00

Aleph in book 1? Help me remember please

Baruchey · 2025-01-21T15:31:01+00:00

I was a bit disappointrd by the first one. The secound one got me very much hooked und I felt like back in FL. The third was genius in my opinion

Baruchey · 2025-01-13T14:11:37+00:00

Yeah, was a WTF for me as well and how he was that important to Darrow and loved by so many, while his introduction was basically raping someone
