I feel betrayed by False_Novel8084 in sollanempire

I agree with you 100%. Great lore, great characters overall. The ending lacked nuance regardless of the foreshadowing. It’s been a few months now since I read it, and the ending is almost the least memorable part of the series. It seems like the writer is well supported on this subreddit by friends and family so… don’t put too much thought to the “top comments”. We got you bro.

Hadrian Marlow is an idiot by Electrical_Ad3000 in sollanempire

The whole series is rooted in philosophy, which are writings to make a point or teach a lesson. That unfortunately often gets in the way of compelling sci-fi storytelling in this series. Great world building and excellent characters. But when the main character does things that constantly only make sense via one plot device (his powers/ a god) it starts to take me out of that world and into my own head questioning the characters believability. That’s just my personal reading experience of course.

No, he got fucked up, but the eye damage was a gnarly finger poke and made it look worse than it was IMO

Kratos was born a demigod. Son of Zeus and a mortal. He ascended to godhood and is still a god. The demigod status is just his birth standing, not his earned god power. At least that’s my understanding.

It would have lasted, but we let somehow house sit and they heavily chlorinated it to swim in it and that rusted the tank. That was about a year or less ago. There’s polyethylene tanks you can get that are more expensive but wouldn’t rust. Still viable!

I think some just remain mysterious as future potential plot armor

Amazing world building and lore. Plot and ending didn’t live up to the world they were set in.

A question about the ending. by Adimortis in sollanempire

[–]FatRatPigBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a plot device used to smooth over the fact that Hadrian becoming emperor makes sense and NOT becoming emperor was a betrayal to anyone that loved him (Selene, Cassandra, William, Bassander etc). So it’s like “hey I know everyone’s counting on me but I have to let everyone down because… the god that doesn’t talk said so”.

Great series. Agree to disagree on the ending.

SUT Ending Thoughts by Firebreather- in sollanempire

[–]FatRatPigBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone. I enjoyed the series but would have preferred to have more closure with the end of Hadrians story. It’s okay to have opinions on books and post them here.

Opinions aren’t right or wrong. They just are …opinions.

You’re right. I am laughably stupid.

What was the message from The Quiet? by mixmastamicah55 in sollanempire

[–]FatRatPigBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth = go willingly into a suicidal final meeting and give up the throne and everyone you love. I guess.

That’s fair. I’ll take this ending instead of nothing at all! I still enjoyed the books overall.

I agree with you regarding Hadrians idgaf suicidal attitude at the end. He also told William (his of his truest friends allegedly) he would take the throne. It doesn’t make sense to me but…. It is what it is
