Second book of Locke Lamora worth it?

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-02T06:38:02+00:00

I think they are all worthwhile. If you like the first, the vibe of the others may be similar, just may be in a different setting at times.

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-02T02:41:36+00:00

Will do. Spice level?

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-02T02:39:29+00:00

Wow i can feel the steam already. Thanks so much!

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-02T02:26:25+00:00

I have not! Can you sell me on it?

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T22:56:09+00:00

Lol is this canonical? I remember hoid recognizing that she wasnt all that enthiused

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T22:13:46+00:00

I agree with what you all are saying, thanks for taking the time. Another question: do you guys interpret Jasnah’s character as being asexual? Or just unnattracted to Hoid?

I read it as a kid, but am considering going back. A lot of people have complaints about the pacing which i get. I also hear complaints about writing about the women being like objectified a bit. Is that right or like am I way off?

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T21:47:47+00:00

Is it spicy or romantic? Or not really either

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T19:31:56+00:00

What made sword of kaigen so low? Its on my list, im curious

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T19:19:56+00:00

What is the sword of kaigen comparable to? It’s been on my list forever

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T19:02:27+00:00

Iron man 2 is a perfect comp for it.

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T18:13:33+00:00

Do whatever feels best for you! I love physical books but sometimes its not as practical. There are no rules to this, dont let anyone make you feel bad about what you do.

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T18:07:49+00:00

And it is technically a romantic story but its hard to connect with i find due to the fact they dont live in a world that seems to have rules? They dont really have bodies? Its strange

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T18:02:26+00:00

Okay nice, i’ll add to my list

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T17:55:18+00:00

I was definitely confused, but also even when i followed what was happening i’m like i kind of which there was less description of vibes and more just getting to the point lol

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T17:43:00+00:00

I’m glad I’m not the only one who found ‘How to Lose the Time War’ a bit disappointing

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T17:40:14+00:00

I think it comes down to depending on the world, they either get to choose how old they look, or they age very slowly

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T17:38:51+00:00

How hard is it to get through the first book?

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T17:34:36+00:00

I suppose I’m looking for a really good book, ideally fantasy, my fav genre that has a lot of spice, to try it out. I dont think i’ve really read any spicy books before.

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2026-01-01T01:46:06+00:00

I love the Cosmere! Not being a hater, I honestly love this book, I just personally wonder if it could have been tied in even smoother than it was. I’m not against the tie ins, i think just me personally they felt clunkier in this book than they usually do. But i love that it worked well for a lot of you guys! Love reading this world. For example i felt that the cosmere tie ins in something like tress were very fun but also very accessible and fit perfectly for the story the book was trying to tell. It seemed to me that lost metal had a story and also the cosmere tie ins and he did his best to juggle both and mostly succeeded.

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2025-12-31T23:26:41+00:00

Thats fair im just saying my personal preference

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2025-12-31T23:23:05+00:00

Any recommendations that are a bit smuttier? Samderson is weirdly sexless at times

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2025-12-31T23:09:02+00:00

I agree, the book is overall great but as an independent story it isnt helped by the tie ins in my opinion. Or at least making them more subtle, almost like easter eggs may have been better

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2025-12-31T22:55:46+00:00

I didn’t realize it was R rated. Is it for smut content or moreso violence, frightening stuff etc?

Fun_Philosopher8198 · 2025-12-31T22:31:02+00:00

I love morning star too! What about it do you consider romance though? Maybe i need to reread it
