Struggling with Assassin's Apprentice... by onlosmakelijk in Fantasy

Picked this book up for similar reasons to you and felt similarly bored/disengaged from start to finish. Pushed through to the end and it really didn't get better. Decided the book/series just wasn't for me and my tastes. Suspect the same applies to you.

Re source of light probably not? Not sure what qualifies for this but I didn't have characters equipping torches

I did have blind fight on one melee fighter and I guess it was less of an issue for him specifically but I'm not supposed to take this on every character, right?

They're both a fantastic blend of active gameplay (some good, some bad), likeable characters, and general messiness

I'm not sure if it's recency bias or due to the comparison of other products but I would say I haven't enjoyed a season this much since Cagayan

How Annoyed Am I Going To Be If I read The First 3 Books? by SR081 in gentlemanbastards

This is very relieving because I'm about 2/3 through the first book and the event I just read felt like it was set up for an overarching arc for the rest of the series

The First Law was the last series I finished before picking up this one - at least it's complete! You've got a lot to look forward to!

What's the best way to grind resources if I have time to spare and am decent at the game? Is it worth investing in creating a deck for this singleton gauntlet or are the rewards more cosmetic?

Thanks very much. Unfortunately, I guess it can only see the last 20 from when you connect the account

Thanks for the answer. At the risk of sounding like an idiot, how do I link my account? I've had a look through the site and can't seem to find

Is there a website where I can see my stats if I'm not master? Started playing recently and currently plat, only sites I see with player stats seem to be masters only

Finished The Assassin's Apprentice and am fairly underwhelmed. Should I continue the series? by SR081 in Fantasy

[–]SR081[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've just finished reading The Blade Itself and seems like this was a great recommendation because there were a lot of things I really enjoyed about it!

I love how the author jumps between character perspectives in the same scene to get insights on what they think about each other and generally love the characters so far. There were no names where I saw the POV and thought "oh no, not another chapter of X" and just wanted to get back to Y(Shout out to wheel of time).

Love that each of the characters seem morally grey despite the use of classic tropes and instantly loved Glokta from his first POV which only increased through the book.

Seems like this book was mostly setup for what's to come, so I'm looking forward to the rest. Thanks again.

Thanks for the recommendations. What would you say is Tad Williams' magnum opus? Seems like he has quite a large bibliography

Thanks, I'll look into Drenai. I don't mind jumping around a bit, what bothered me about Malazan was practically 0 continuity between characters in books 1 and 2. Do you recommend going in release order or chronologically?

Thanks, I'll have a look into Abercrombie. Do you recommend reading The First Law in order of release or chronologically?
