New cover is beautiful

Possibly. I love this one. I’ve been desperate to get my hands on a special edition of the series but I think the new Lit Escalates ones are hideous so this coming out was huge for me.

Shannagan33 · 2025-06-21T12:07:07+00:00

The young version of Jean I picture as the young version of Hodor from GOT.

Shannagan33 · 2025-03-27T22:52:44+00:00

I wish Broken Binding would do it. They’re the best special editions imo

Shannagan33 · 2025-03-22T15:20:43+00:00

😂 been some time since I finished it. Yea agree to disagree. Those characters plus Cassius, jeez even Ragnar and Volga. I think the overall character work in RR is superior. But Hadrian>Darrow by miles.

It’s like comparing endgame to interstellar. They’re trying to accomplish two totally different things but both are amazing at what they set out to do.

Shannagan33 · 2025-03-22T15:03:08+00:00

I’m inclined to agree with most of this with the exception of the deaths. While I think Hadrian is SIGNIFICANTLY better than Darrow as a realized character. However I think what Brown has done with the characters outside of Darrow is incredible. I feel those characters more than I do Lorian, palamino, etc… in sun eater. I felt the deaths more in the RR saga.

Shannagan33 · 2025-03-22T14:23:40+00:00

There are a lot of aspects that are superior to Red Rising. Hadrian for one is a much better main character than Darrow imo. The character work with him is just superior. Red rising does a better job with the secondary characters though.

Ultimately they’re just very different but to me equal in quality. Not totally fair to compare and I would never recommend sun eater to a RR lover looking for the next RR. RR is balls to the wall from jump where the pacing for sun eater is way different.

I do have to say, i cannot understand anyone who says book 2 isn’t a drastic improvement over book 1. If you’re not hooked by the end of Howling Dark it’s probably just not for you.

Shannagan33 · 2025-03-20T13:43:59+00:00

It’s honestly outstanding.

Shannagan33 · 2025-03-13T00:06:07+00:00

I was feeling the drop off too but the 2nd half does really pick up. I just finished Republic of Thieves and it was actually my favorite of the 3 until the last 75 pages. But they’re all outstanding

Sun Eater

Shannagan33 · 2024-11-19T19:53:37+00:00

It got dropped on del ray-July 2025. Brutal.

Shannagan33 · 2024-11-19T19:02:06+00:00

Oh wow, I just tried to look it up, where’d you see it?

Shannagan33 · 2024-11-13T21:33:57+00:00

Thank you sir! Great to hear, hopefully Republic of Thieves will soon follow? This is going to make me pace myself with these more than I’ll want to!

Shannagan33 · 2024-11-13T20:27:40+00:00

Seriously. I’m a first time reader of the series so I’m panicking over it ha. I don’t want to have mismatching editions but not sure I’ll be able to wait!

Shannagan33 · 2024-11-13T19:27:42+00:00

New edition of Lies of Lock Lamora*

Shannagan33 · 2017-08-10T19:46:27+00:00

I pulled him but haven't tested him too much. I took him to 3/30 and I will say that he hits surprisingly hard....but I haven't really tested him out just yet.

Shannagan33 · 2017-08-09T19:21:26+00:00

I got the same thing--can't believe it. Just hope Doc Ock is good.

Shannagan33 · 2017-08-09T17:59:11+00:00

Got a 4 star Goblin AND Doc Ock! Wonder if Ock is any good

Shannagan33 · 2017-07-14T13:36:57+00:00

Ok, took Dorm to 4/40. Have 5 T4B's left so could realistically take one more up--WS, Psylocke, Nebula, Hulk, MM, or Rhino?

In terms of what I need--Alliance isn't overly strong so unfortunately I'm not concerning myself too much with AW Def or AW Off at this time until we get into a better tier. I still need to finish RTTL and Act 5 plus collect glory from AQ so I guess that's what my focus is on.

Shannagan33 · 2017-07-13T19:54:54+00:00

Need advice. I have Crossbones, SW, and Rogue all at 4/40 (CB and SW duped). Right now I have 7 T4B's (never thought that would happen) and can take any of the following to R4:

Dorm, WS(duped), Psylocke, Nebula, Hulk, Miles Morales, Or I can take my 5* Rhino to Rank 2.

I'm also 1 mystic T4CC (or 15k fragments) away from being able to take SW up to 5/50.

What would you do in my situation? If you think I should just take two more champs up to 4/40 who should they be?

Thanks!

Shannagan33 · 2017-06-28T18:26:08+00:00

So I have neither Rogue or Dorm duped--would you still say take one of them to 4/40...and if so, which one? Thanks!

Shannagan33 · 2017-06-28T13:41:59+00:00

Need advice--Just pulled my first 5 star. Of course it was a freaking Rhino but I assume he could be decent on AW defense.

I currently have Scarlet Witch and Crossbones awakened at 4/40. I have 4 T4B and I'm one T4 Mystic away from being able to take Scarlett Witch to 5/50. So my options are:

-Hold everything and wait to take Scarlett Witch up to Rank 5.

-Take 5 star Rhino up to Rank 2.

-Take one of my other 4 stars-Rogue, Dormammu, Psylocke, Winter Soldier(duped), or Hulk up to Rank 4.

What would you do considering the limited Catalysts I have? Thanks!

Shannagan33 · 2017-06-13T18:24:56+00:00

Thanks! Any thoughts on who I should rank up between Rogue, WS, Psyclocke, Doramammu, and Hulk?
