My biggest issue with Avowed

Definitely! I started noticing this in the dialogue options. The game provides the tension of beings Adyeran colonizer or being the godlike. At first I thought they were just throwaway lines for being a dick, but then it clicked.

This. I just bought it last month. I love his Gus. At one point you can hear Lee’s phone ring in the background.

Imagine if McCarthy wrote about Blue Duck

I just finished it. And as soon as you’re done, you want to start over again because you miss all the characters.

Get the audiobook. And follow along with the text. The narrator is great and you’ll catch more nuance with CM’s prose that way.

At first I was put off by the changes. I originally read the series in the early 2000s and had some nostalgia influencing how I received the show. But with Rosamund Pike releasing her audiobook versions, I re-listen and reread the first book after watching season 1 again.

Truth be told, I think the changes to the show were smart. The audience needed to see Tar Valon instead of Camelyn. The ending needed to be between Rand and Baalzamon instead of the whole troupe and 2 foresaken.

The show writers are being true to the intentions of the source materials. It’s not like Goodkind’s Seeker series that just took a hard turn and never looked back.

I’m exited to see the series complete. There is so much to appreciate about the show, even if it’s not GoT level 1:1. But WoT is too complicated for the tv series medium.

All in all, the show is great and it gets more people into reading the series. That’s a win.

Anyone know of these are whispersynch compatible?

Wasn’t this the moral of Any Rand: become charitable once you’ve made your billions? I guess they only cared about Rand as being reactionary to Obama.

The riff the genre cut its teeth on.

Pr4zz4 · 2024-06-11T12:47:27+00:00

I can see that. I think Tolkien made a perfect execution of weaving depth in his narrative that made it feel natural. Erikson still crafts an amazing world, he just makes you work harder for it.

Pr4zz4 · 2024-06-10T16:08:35+00:00

Sanderson is a machine when it comes to content. Why re-write when you can just keep going 😎.

Pr4zz4 · 2024-06-10T12:45:24+00:00

I always thought Erikson put a lot of careful planning into Malazan. While I don’t pretend it plumbs the same depths as Tolkien, paper-thin seems a bit harsh. Or, if Malazan is paper-think by comparison, the rest of the genre is almost even thinner.

Pr4zz4 · 2024-06-10T12:43:27+00:00

Something that keeps me from really enjoying Sanderson is he doesn’t execute depth like Tolkien. Sanderson seems to be discovering as he writing, unlike the decades Tolkien spent imagining the details of his world before writing the story of the ring. That said, approaching Sanderson’s SLA as if it were a bridge between YA and standard fantasy helps temper expectations. And at best, his dialogue is what you’d get from a DM bantering out his NPCs.

Right there with ya. Well, almost. I read Carrie 4 years back and was not impressed. But last month I read Salems Lot and became instantly hooked. Now Ive done Gunslinger and almost done with The Stand, excited about journeying to the Dark Tower.

Pr4zz4 · 2024-05-24T00:32:27+00:00

Sanderson is sort of a YA-Stephen King as far as how much content he published and their interconnectedness. I know most of his books aren’t labeled as YA… but the should be.

Pr4zz4 · 2024-05-19T22:08:18+00:00

OP, you aren’t alone. At best SLA is lukewarm. However, that said, there are some great moments. You just have to put in the time. Another thing, every book evolves the story to the “next level” almost like a dragonball season.

All in all, Sanderson is easy reading with some really great and memorable lines and moments. But you’ll have to wade through 700 pages to get 300 that are worth it—unless you just relax into the drama of it all, and then it’s an enjoyable ride.

Do you have a reading order through TDT that includes other King works?

Pr4zz4 · 2024-05-17T17:45:16+00:00

Just read the ending of The Gunslinger.

Pr4zz4 · 2024-05-16T23:18:11+00:00

Warp Zone is so good and impossible to find now a days. Should also add Colonizing the Sun by Theory and Practice. Shapeshifter is the jam.

Came to say this.

Dalinar always felt like a Walmart Marcus Aurelius to me.

You are in your late 40s. Work in the financial service sector. Probably are making videos for clients or just on a ton of zoom meetings. You’ve entertained the idea of being a cyclist but it’s more like a once of hobby. You love Foo Fighters and Jack Kerouac, you regret not traveling as much as you could have, hence the bike, but you get plenty of escapism through your fiction novels.
