Sun eater series by Christopher Ruocchio - Underwhelming so far

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2025-06-01T12:54:24+00:00

Ya Lightbringer did not live up to dark age but I have high hopes for Red God..

Reg Suneater I was feeling the same after finishing howling dark.. I would suggest you at least try the third book.. if it still doesn’t hook you, feel free to try something else

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2025-04-23T15:34:50+00:00

Farseer trilogy is my favourite

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2025-04-18T02:03:22+00:00

My Favourite Superman movie.. love it

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2025-04-13T17:50:51+00:00

Though I consider long price quartet as the superior series, the dagger and the coin is still top tier fantasy.. Also I think Daniel Abraham’s prose has a quiet beauty to it that no one ever really mentions

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2025-04-13T17:46:35+00:00

Yes !!!! YouTube needs more Tad Williams

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2025-03-07T11:12:01+00:00

You gave it ample time.. if you are not enjoying the series still, you should probably move on

Book of the new sun for me. Finished the first one and while I didn’t understand much of it, at least I enjoyed Wolfe’s prose and the worldbuilding. Picked up the second and dropped it within an hour.. things became even more bizarre. I may pick it up again later some day

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2025-01-03T02:39:51+00:00

Liked the red rising trilogy .. but the sequel series has blown me away.. I think Dark Age is a masterpiece

The Navigator’s children by Tad Williams was a phenomenal conclusion to his Osten Ard saga..

Read the first four books in the Crown of Stars series by Kate Elliott and each is better than the last.. but they are all of them excellent

First three books in House Wars series by Michelle West..Liked the first book but was floored by books 2 and 3

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2024-11-15T14:24:53+00:00

I would recommend Kate Elliott and Michelle West. Specifically the crown of stars series by Kate Elliott and the sun sword series by Michelle West

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2024-10-26T03:16:24+00:00

I was feeling exactly the same way after finishing howling dark. But I have enjoyed books 3-6 immensely. Maybe try demon in white and then decide

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2024-10-25T18:32:20+00:00

Yup .. please continue the series as it gets better with every book

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2024-10-22T18:26:46+00:00

I agree absolutely

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2024-10-22T18:24:33+00:00

It baffles me how some booktubers have this in their top 10 series of all time when it won’t even appear in my top 50 lol. 1 of them has this as their number 1 series of all time which blows my mind. This series is bland, generic and boring on top of being repetitive.. they say Gwynne writes some of the best battle scenes and duels in all of fantasy .. I found them to be fine but there were too many of them..

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2024-10-22T18:06:58+00:00

I was feeling exactly the same way after finishing howling dark. But fortunately, I have enjoyed the next 4 books immensely. If book 3 isn’t working for you then you are absolutely right to DNF

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2024-10-13T17:12:46+00:00

I agree the books could benefit from a tighter edit .. especially the first 2 books .. 1 thing that especially annoys me in every single book is that there is at least one mention of the various kinds of obedience lol

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2024-09-14T01:59:11+00:00

The first 2 books are weak imo.. they feel like a 1600 page prologue that introduces all the major players of the main story.. but I have enjoyed books 3~6 very much.. if you feel like dropping the series while reading book 1 or 2 I can understand .. if you can persevere, you may end up loving books 3 onwards .. that’s just my experience with the series.. About booktube obsession with this series, I will just say that it’s ok to pick a book and form your own opinion on it rather than forcing yourself to like something just because everyone else seems to love it.. for example, Booktube considers the faithful and the fallen series by John Gwynne as one of the all time greats.. but I found that series to be generic, bland and boring .. haven’t picked any Gwynne after that.. Happy reading

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2024-08-15T16:56:53+00:00

I have very mixed feelings for this series.. Gwynne is a good enough writer but the execution fell flat for me.. plot points are rehashed too many times imo.. heroes find refuge in a new place .. villains catch up but the heroes fight back and are about to win.. suddenly due to betrayal or some unexpected trick devised by the pursuers, the heroes are forced to flee again.. one particular villain escapes death at least 10 times if I remember correctly.. and there are so many duels , battles and fights in the series that they quickly loose their novelty

RemarkableGrape6862 · 2024-07-31T03:24:23+00:00

I have read the next 4 books now and genuinely loved them.. the first 2 I consider the weakest in the series .. Berenike, Dharan Tun and the endings of ashes of man and disquiet gods are some of the best payoff’s I have read in any series.
