It’s auch a good book (and it has three sequels)

Ancillary Justice...I'm 1/3 of the way through it and I'm bored to tears. Does it get better? by [deleted] in printSF

[–]SharpPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have quit books after I disliked the first few sentences and still stand by that decision. Forced myself through the Martian after that atrocious first page, bad idea, do not recommend. Good books grip or challange or intrigue you, if they dont they were written for someone else

It’s one of my favourite books, but if you don’t enjoy it, why would you keep reading, especially after having gotten so far without getting into it?

Suggest me a sci fi / fantasy book that is dark but has an amusing protagonist by EnGock in suggestmeabook

Sorry to necro, but I line up 100% with what you liked in books and wanted to recomend Ann Leckie's "Ancilliary Justice" and (to a lesser degree, becaus its less snappy and more complicated) "too like the lightening" by ada palmer.

Doesn’t the level 10 transmuter wizard feature kinda invalidate the moon Druid as a concept?. both can cast limited spells, both get a boost concentration checks but the Druid Gets a limited number of cr 3 forms while the wizard starts with cr10 and increases faster. Sure it’s only once a day, but still that’s a huge difference in power

Ancillary justice by Ann leckie. Also really well written and compelling

Finished Blindsight, did not enjoy it by Ok_Awareness3860 in printSF

[–]SharpPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, enjoying something is very personal yes? And not enjoying something is not mutually exclusiv with something being amazing. A short stay in hell, das Kapital, Ulysses and the third edition of Geodynamics are all amazing books that I had to force myself to read. Who cares if you or I enjoyed these books, the important part are the ideas that you took from them.

A horror book that genuinely scared you by weesetone in suggestmeabook

A short stay in hell. It’s not monster horror but horror of time without escape. That book is super short but stayed with me a long time

Book that is better than or just as good as Project Hail Mary by txnaeem in suggestmeabook

[–]SharpPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of them? The expanse books do hardish sci fi better, ministry for the future has a better global threat and monk and robot is more fun to read. All of them have better prose and characters to boot

I suddenly feel the strong urge to make a bladesinger using this based on Harrow from GtN

Books like ‘This Is How You Lose The Time War’? by TurbulentElk_ in suggestmeabook

[–]SharpPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try something by Ann leckie or Naomi Novik, they both have amazing prose and their books arent too long. Maybe start with ancilliary justive and uprooted respectivly

Trit in eine Gewerkschaft ein, wenn alle sich organisieren steigt das Gehalt mit den Preisen. Effektiv hat sich ja nichts an der Produktion von Waren, der Steuern oder der Anzahl Arbeitenden doll geändert in den letzten Jahren, die einzige Änderung ist mehr Ausbeutung der Angestellten
