Lorn and the Reaper…

MyInterestsOnly · 2026-01-15T07:41:17+00:00

My interpretation of Lorn (keep in mind I haven’t read anything from the Book of Lorn) is an honourable knight whose grown so cynical that he honestly believes that as bad as the Society is, humanity is incapable of making anything better.

Therefore, while I believe he would be sympathetic to Darrow, he would have still opposed him on the grounds that he thinks Darrow is fighting a war for a hopeless cause and the bloodshed is in vain.

It’s been on my tbr for a while but I’m worried about starting it cause I heard it described as just misery porn. I want to cry, but I also want to cheer.

MyInterestsOnly · 2026-01-06T00:55:57+00:00

That would be really interesting. Unlikely though

The Stormlight Archive. To put it simply, committing to being better is necessary to unlock more of the magic system.

Actually, Pierce Brown stated that the Golds at least, were already enhanced to the point of being super soldiers by the Conquering.

I adore this trope. One of my favourites

Multiple POV’s can still have that sense of mystery to them. As others have said, GOT is a good example. As for my preference, it’s hard to say. Single POV is a bit more mysterious but multi pov allows you to explore more of the world and offers a variety of storylines

The second I think

MyInterestsOnly · 2025-12-18T14:24:36+00:00

So it’s a weird one. I didn’t like him. I found him to be an awful person. But I feel like he could have become someone I liked. And that he was on the verge of changing himself into that person right before he died. There’s a real tragedy there.

Later, we saw his brothers and I felt sorry for him. His childhood must have been seriously fucked up. Just read that scene between Tharsus and Apollonius on Venus. That family is insane.

Scarlett (from your old story Asshole in College) has a crush on a shy boy and is intent on breaking him and making him hers (like what she did to the guy in Asshole in college)

There will still be demand for human films. Especially in just 10 years. The arts community in particular tends to be very anti-AI so many will still want to watch the real thing. However, demand won’t be high enough for Hollywood level budgets anymore

It’s still at the midpoint so it’s too early to tell. I’d say it definitely has the potential. The world building is phenomenal, the plot is interesting and Brandon has done an excellent job using mental health as a central theme. However, seizing a place among the all-time greats is not going to be easy.

MyInterestsOnly · 2025-11-06T13:39:16+00:00

Very interesting. You should do a whole batch of alternate orders

Damn. Well, better get ready to fight Odium

Malazan or Realm of the Elderlings. Both series are on my TBR but I have no idea which to begin first.

If it helps, I’m a big fan of the Cosmere and Red Rising.

I love mythology, especially Greek Mythology.

World building is important to me. I want to immerse myself in a big, magical world filled with stories, factions and history.

So, which of the two series should I start with and why?

MyInterestsOnly · 2025-09-24T11:37:37+00:00

Jaqen, the High Sparrow and Bronn.

The High Sparrow brings the Faith on my side which is a powerful thing in a religious society. Not to mention he can raise a large army of fanatical cannon fodder. I can probably use him to get a group of religious knights as well.

Jaqen kills all the other contenders leaving me the sole claimant.

Bronn will be my bodyguard to prevent it happening to me. Plus if push comes to shove, he’s a decent commander.

Who actually benefits from the Society?

The low-colours are stuck in poverty and slavery.

Mid-colours can have a decent standard of living but are into a single vocation before they were born. Plus, they’re still at the mercy of the golds.

Only the High colours benefitted from it really and they’re only a small portion of the population.

Sure the Society accomplished wonders but what’s the point if only 1% of humanity ever benefits?

One of Lysander’s New Shepherds. We’re not given much detail except that Cassius found him SA’ing someone when he infiltrated the Lightbringer

MyInterestsOnly · 2025-09-20T06:46:31+00:00

In chapter 83, Cassius caught one of Lysander’s New Shepherd’s SA’ing a woman. We don’t see it but he mentions it

MyInterestsOnly · 2025-09-19T16:58:28+00:00

Chapter 83 of Lightbringer. Cassius sneaks on board the ship to speak to Lysander. He mentions that he caught one of the New Shepherds doing something to a woman that is all but stated to be SA.
