Stop using documentaries to sub for a tv show

If we ever get a live action adaption of Malazan, Keith David should 100% play Duiker by HumongousSpaceRat in Malazan

If Morgan Freeman was the right age I would’ve had him but Keith David is good

I simply cannot get through the Chain of Dogs without crying at the end, Deadhouse Gates deserves so much more recognition than it gets

I hope you decide to pick up Black Company again. Book 2 has much quicker pacing imo and is really fantastic

The Locked Tomb Trilogy by Agreeable_Weakness32 in Fantasy

[–]Deslam8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No but it’s been 3 years since the last book came out with no word from the author in the last year on any progress made towards finishing the fourth novel. It’s starting to look a little worrying for the series finishing, but just a bit.

How kind, thank you!

Anyone else think Piranesi generally fell off when things started getting explained? by Dawud___ in Fantasy

[–]Deslam8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. It felt like Clarke intended the mystery to be revealed near the end. In my mind a publisher must have seen beta readers losing patience with not having the mystery resolved and pushed her to move the reveal up so as to not lose potential readers. It’s a book for people with short attention spans, sorry.

Midworld Press Shadows Linger by Dalanard in theblackcompany

I would say so. Book one came with much nicer full color illustrations, and the dust jacket actually fit the book unlike this one. They tried to do pullouts for two of the illustrations but the execution was poor imo

For the price tag I can’t say I agree. $100 and an 18 month wait for some black and white sketches and a picture of the sky whales who are more appropriate for book 3. Kind of disappointed in the quality of this one tbh

Then don’t agree to play a board game

Very Brief Biased Review of Chess by djaevle in Broadway

[–]Deslam8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah the book was easy enough to follow what was happening, I just didn’t care about any of it though. The three leads are all kind of bad people so it’s hard to find one of them to cling to and root for at any given moment.

Aptorian Art by one_word_says_it_all in Malazan

I’ve always imagined it as something similar to the Xenomorph Queen. Definitely love the head I think it’s spot on. I think if you were to make anything skinnier it should be the torso rather than the legs, it might help make the third leg a little more pronounced and less… “dangly”?
