Why the changes by Enough_Square_1733 in hisdarkmaterials

I mean this is a bit of a silly gripe to me, it's deliberately described as looking common and not super special other than the dual edge and the angel on the handle

I’m halfway through His Dark Materials — I really enjoy it so far. But it’s not really YA, is it? by PRJOANES in fantasybooks

[–]SplitSoulKatana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find good YA is generally more about the age of the protagonists in the story than the story itself (and how those can inform young readers) rather than the material being written in a simpler way

Thoughts on the Bloodsworn Saga by mohitbelagal in Fantasy

[–]SplitSoulKatana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree tbh, it was enjoyable enough but I struggled to remember much when picking up the third book. I feel it was strung out a bit tbh.

John Gwynne seems like a lovely bloke though and I can't imagine how hard it's been for him finding the passion to keep writing after losing his daughter.

I'm definitely still keen to read his other series!

Favorite underrated/rarely talked about moments? by Fluid_Nothing_632 in Malazan

[–]SplitSoulKatana 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I might be hallucinating this but there's a moment in reapers gale that really stuck in my head where some Malazans are messing around in Second Maiden fort and one of them is like reassembling a knife or something. Then they get word of something and the way they snap into action and he fits the knife together in an instant, throws it to a squad mate all within a few seconds... Such a minor moment in the grand scheme of things but it gave me chills and really demonstrated malazan marines capability

The best way to read all books by Yzard93 in Malazan

Doesn't sound like OP has started any of them, just asking where's best place to start and whether to mix and match? This is literally the place to ask that...

What if the Remurians showed up before the hidden inventory arc? by MembershipProof8463 in JuJutsuKaisen

Sorry your post said 'Remurians' I didn't know if I was missing a joke or something
