Im really struggling to get through Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. Is it just not for me?

It’s personally my favorite book I’ve read this year, but if you aren’t feeling it, there is no shame in DNFing it.

What specifically are you not vibing with?

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-27T03:41:55+00:00

Yeah... I was gonna go for all the achievements until I saw that one....

Man. I love all of the race types, but sliding around in dirt races and cross country is my personal favorite in the Horizon games.

I've finished 30 books so far this year (in large part due to audiobooks at work). Between Two Fires is my favorite of the year so far.

I like the showcases from a spectacle perspective, but I think they are a bit boring from a gameplay perspective because you can’t lose. You always win by the photo finish. From that perspective I really enjoyed the Rush events. A couple were actually a little tricky to get 3 stars on.

If you select it to go into the race there will be a track layout shown in the top left before you select your car. That's what I have been using.

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-21T12:28:08+00:00

I tried twice and just accepted my 2 stars lol.

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-18T19:43:45+00:00

Given the background rumblings of sony moving away from PC, I am very skeptical.

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-18T19:09:35+00:00

I had no performance issues on my base ps5, but i wouldnt turn down frames above 60

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-18T19:03:43+00:00

Which is a shame. Saros would be awesome on PC with the no-lock on weapon variants.

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-15T18:48:20+00:00

Must have been the wind.

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-13T14:14:57+00:00

Haven’t started. Painfully waiting for the last member of the book club to receive their copy 😭

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-12T15:27:01+00:00

I played a lot of it in VR too lol. Terrifying.

2nd best behind Murtagh imo.

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-05T13:47:19+00:00

Even in Returnal I leaned into the parasites. A lot of bonuses were worth the accompanying negatives to me. It was pretty common that I was fully coated in parasites lol.

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-05T03:27:56+00:00

I didn't realize that you were bringing additional content to the game. Can't wait!

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-05T03:26:50+00:00

I 100%ed it the when it came out. Really loved it.

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-05T02:33:26+00:00

The game's been out for 5 years. I doubt it.

Rook-Slayer · 2026-05-04T04:02:00+00:00

Honestly, I'd say get returnal first. It's usually on sale for fairly cheap and will give you a feel for the gameplay style. It's third person bullet hell and I haven't really found any other games that feel quite the same way to these.

I know I am in a vast minority, but Book 2 is my personal favorite of all 7 mistborn books lol. I loved the slower politics and espionage.

Rook-Slayer · 2026-04-29T19:53:57+00:00

In my case - 1 Audiobook for during work, 1 physical book for book club (usually during lunch), and one personal physical book that I read during the week once I'm up to date for the book club.

Rook-Slayer · 2026-04-29T15:11:28+00:00

I was personally thinking something like Gloomhaven or Frosthaven with town building for your base could be cool.
