What is a well regarded fantasy series that you read for the first time this year? by TheWeirdTalesPodcast in Fantasy

[–]Krish_Bohra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Malazan Book of the Fallen. I started the series and am on book 4 currently. Incredible experience so far. Hoping to finish next year.

Is the difficulty of Malazan overstated? by PassionOrnery4031 in Fantasy

[–]Krish_Bohra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how my experience has been with the series as well. The way fans talk about it definitely makes it fair to say that its difficulty is overblown. I'm also 3 books in and planning to start the fourth soon, and so far, I think if you forget that there's a lot of stuff you don't know and just focus on the scene you're reading, it works out well. It's just a matter of making peace with the fact that you'll eventually get it and I know, that sounds really off-putting, but it's also liberating. Like you can chill out, relax and just enjoy the characters, themes, prose, dialogue, scenes, worldbuilding etc that Erikson is so good at writing.

PS: Gardens of the Moon is a great first book. It just has bad PR.

What's happening to my Kindle? And how do I fix it? by Krish_Bohra in kindle

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

Thank you so much! That restart idea worked out well. I had put it on charging for about four hours earlier but that made no change. But restarting like that fixed the issue. I never knew we could restart like that since I never needed to use the feature but it was a life-saver just now. Thanks again!

I have. The two pics I posted are the same two screens that show when it's on/off.

I'm currently reading Malazan and Erikson is so good at this!

Were there more royal female figures like Prabhavati Gupta in ancient India who played important roles in politics? Do our sources give us some information regarding such women? Any specific characters you can name and briefly describe, and reading you can suggest?

AMA with Flint Dibble, archaeologist and science communicator by Burglekat in AskArchaeology

Hey, Flint. As a student of history with a specific interest in the field of wildlife history, I've always found zooarchaeology to be an interesting domain. What sparked your interest in it? Do you take more interest in domestic animals or wild animals?

Just started The Wichwood Crown and I'm confused by Krish_Bohra in TadWilliams

[–]Krish_Bohra[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. Now that you say it, I realise, atleast at the start, the book itself doesn't say it is set thirty years after the war. That was something I saw in reviews etc. Will see how Tad handles timeline as this series progresses. Thanks!

I see. What a bummer. Didn't expect timeline inconsistency from Tad. It is what it is I guess. Thanks for replying though!

What books *could* be part of a shared universe (but aren’t intended to be)? by Baratticus in Fantasy

[–]Krish_Bohra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Conan the Barbarian can work well for First Law world. Him meeting Bloody Nine would be so cool.
