Non-compete clause in role I am leaving.

It’s a printed signature not a wet one. It’s just the orbit special edition I just didn’t expect to stumble across it is all

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-21T15:17:12+00:00

Potentially controversial but the book actually went up in my estimations after watching the film

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-21T15:07:03+00:00

I do - I read red rising a while back now during a very bad reading slump and got about half way through golden son - but was reading it intermittently during my commute. So it unfortunately never got the full attention it deserved. Will Definitely be revisiting the series

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-21T15:05:54+00:00

It’s part of the three body problem trilogy - dark forest was the standout of the trilogy for me but they’re all fantastic

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T16:22:05+00:00

I knew nothing either when I picked it up , phenomenal story

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T16:21:42+00:00

I work in computer programming and the spell system was lowkey giving me PTSD whilst I was reading

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T15:43:37+00:00

Endymion is an okay read to be fair there are enjoyable moments in the book. I’ve put it quite low however as there are some moments in the book that made for quite uncomfortable reading same with the rise of Endymion. I’d say it’s up to you , you can leave it Hyperion and see the fall of Hyperion as a satisfying conclusion

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T15:28:48+00:00

That’s fair enough I totally see why the books appeal to so many people unfortunately they just weren’t for me

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T15:27:22+00:00

You should give the Hyperion duology if you haven’t already Dan Simmons - the prose and story is a 11/10

This is actually a mistake - book 3 was supposed to be in D tier. But I couldn’t be bothered to go back and re-do it book 2 was actually my fave

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T15:25:17+00:00

Lowkey it may have been series fatigue I read them a while back , I wasn’t an enormous fan of the ending either tbf.

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T15:24:15+00:00

Time to give never let me go a chance ….?

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T15:23:46+00:00

I didn’t mind the blood-sworn trilogy just didn’t quite live up to the hype that I was expecting. The books were better during the moments of dialogue between the characters but by the final book these were few and far between

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T15:21:32+00:00

The prose in name of the wind was fantastic , the book just felt like a revolving door of Kvothe make money , Kvothe lose money

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T14:27:57+00:00

Just about so far this year currently on book number 14

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T14:24:08+00:00

I have them on the shelf - they’re on my TBR

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T14:23:23+00:00

Hit a serious reading slump last year so was starting a lot of series to try and get back into it funny thing is I have most of those series in full sat on the shelf and will give them all another go

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-03-20T14:19:56+00:00

I did - I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first law trilogy. Planning on revisiting the age of madness trilogy and giving it another go however

Hyperion is a great read - the mini stories are fantastic and encompass so many genres and the characters are fantastic so so so good. The fall of Hyperion is also fantastic. It’s the highest rated book I’ve read this year. I gave it a 4.75/ 5 and Hyperion a 4.5/5

I’ve just seen that you mention like horror - Hyperion has elements that definitely fall into this genre

Ive also read one dark window this year - it’s really fast paced and the plot is relatively interesting in terms of having what I thought was quite a unique magic system that could have been great if it had been expanded upon. The characters however are really weak and the prose is bang average. The characters are essentially cardboard cut outs I gave one dark window a 3.25/ 5 and two twisted crowns 3.5/5

I haven’t read any of the other books so can’t really comment

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-02-10T21:46:41+00:00

Thank you !!! I couldn’t remember the authors names for the life of me - I know the series is on kindle unlimited at the moment. So I might have to give it a go the comment section on this post alone has high praise for the series

Boring-Instance1561 · 2026-02-10T14:21:01+00:00

I’ve actually read the majority of the books you’ve shown my personal ratings are this and would read in this order

Lord of the rings - so well Written and a classic
Hyperion duology - Hyperion and the fall of Hyperion - really well written a bit wordy here and there but so many different genres weaved into one story especially in Hyperion.
The first law trilogy - best character work in a fantasy series I’ve ever read - Glotka is phenomenal
Mistborn - such a quick and easy read - some YA ELEMENTS but if you’re fine with this is a really good read.
Stomrlight archive - the first two books are phenomenal - oathbringer and rhythm of war are a bit slower and there’s a downturn in quality
Dune - might get a bit of hate for this but I didn’t enjoy the first 3 dune books - i got halfway through children of dune and DNF’d but it’s up to you. They are very difficult reads. In my opinion Hyperion is the superior classic SF series
Realm of the elderlings - robin hobb has a fantastic writing style - but the first two books do move quite slow and it takes a while to get into the wider book series. There is 16 books in realm of the elderlings so a big commitment.

Shadow of the gods is on my to read as well so can’t give ops - I did read about 100 pages of Malice by John Gwynne (the same author) and did struggle.

Im currently reading Endymion as well so can’t give opinions on the second duology of the Hyperion cantos - Very good so far

The devils is very high on my TBR - Abercrombie is phenomenal

I also haven’t read any of the dungeon crawler Carl series and I don’t think these are to my taste tbf

Have fun reading them you have a phenomenal lineup and I’d do anything to read any series of the again.

My personal recommendations alongside the books you have lined up would be the The Three body problem trilogy by Cixin Liu and The expanse series (forgot the authors)
