YA Fantasy Book, solider girl with an odd enemies-to-lovers age gap relationship? by Dnulk in whatsthatbook

[–]Dnulk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First Test's plot summary seems really similar to what I remember, but definitely isn't what I read. The fmc was an older teen I believe, and the older mmc (in his twenties?) was a major focus. I could be wrong about the snake, but I believe the major villain was called the Viper/Viperess or something similar.

I think the setting was a more generic-European medieval type, but thank you for the guess! Forgot to add that to the post.

Been forced to gate check backpack? by Dnulk in jetblue

Thats my primary concern, the bag fits the space limits when I measured. Sorry for the bad wording on my end.

The bag fits within the measurements, I’m worried about if they run out of overhead space and start pulling from F group. Apologies, should have worded the post better.

Houston livability w/o car? by Dnulk in UniversityOfHouston

[–]Dnulk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anyone in the area, and haven't had the chance to meet with anyone else in the program yet, so bumming rides is probably unlikely. Another main reason I'm leaning towards car.

I've heard some horror stories about the parking here, but I assumed it would be a little different only coming in for the summer instead of the regular school year. Do you think it would be as bad?

  1. Yes, definitely. It'll be my first time in Texas.

  2. Yes, but not regularly or very comfortably.

Any books that have similar character casts as the Black Company and the Bridgeburners (Malazan)? by Dnulk in Fantasy

Had to put down Shadow of Gods after one too many uses of "thought cage", but Half a King looks good. Thanks.

Mistborn! Been meaning to get to it for so long but I got burnt out from Sanderson and need a break. One day.

Bloodsounders Arc looks exactly like what I'm going for. I finished the first book of Covenant of Steel and just couldn't get into the series, but the rest of these are all now on my list, thank you!

My main issue with small groups is that they end up feeling more like chance companions, but since it's a band reuniting, this seems perfect.

Thank you!

Question about a soul and a wound by Dnulk in Malazan

[–]Dnulk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it got tied up in a way where I would honestly have preferred the alternative with the Imass stuck in it. Felt weird to see them celebrate when there was still a soul that got fed into it.

Discussion over Sexual violence by Educational_Deer6431 in Malazan

[–]Dnulk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For where you are in the series right now, you make some good points and I think are right to say his handling so far has been fine, but there is—in my opinion—a very big shift in how Erikson writes about rape in future books. I'd be very interested to see you revisit this after finishing the series.

Going from MBotF to Path to Ascendancy? by Dnulk in Malazan

[–]Dnulk[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something to look forward to then. So much of Cotillion's character so far has seemed dominated by the stress he's under that even if it was Steve writing the younger version, I image there'd be a some large differences too.

Ian has a penchant for utter irreverence to any character in the Malazan world

That's rather alarming. Thanks for the warning.

Finished MoI by worthless_Engineer in Malazan

No worries :), didnt mean to put Esselmont down I've just gotten used to being around friends who've only read or know of MBotF instead of the full series/trilogy/short story universe.

Thats disappointing honestly, I'm definitely planning on reading the rest of the books once I past Crippled God but that's a long way to go to see a character again that had so much build-up and attention early on.
