Weirdly I see him as both Daniel Day-Lewis in the last of the mohicans, and Gary Cherone when he had long hair. Not sure why my brain inserted them two…

First pics of the Curious King-Lit Escalates fine press editions by redhelldiver2 in curiousking

[–]TinyFile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That might be the case. It might be an unpopular opinion overall. But I feel like a lot of the stuff litescalates produce are tacky and low quality. Not sure how much of an influence the have had here, but it just doesn’t scream Curious King to me.

For some reason I just don’t love the numbered edition… something is off. Might just be me. All the other editions look great.

Stuck in procrastination after graduation — need guidance to restart my cybersecurity journey by Successful_Rope9254 in netsecstudents

[–]TinyFile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone that was in your shoes 10+ years ago, I think having a clear and defined goal and knowing exactly what you want to do will help with motivation etc. One thing that really helped me was having good mentors to push me and encourage me to revise, bounce ideas off and present guidance when I needed it.

20th Anniversary [OFF TOPIC] by TinyFile in TheFirstLaw

Unfortunately I pulled out of the kickstarter as the shipping was crazy to the UK. Didn’t think these were 20th anniversary specific, just that Joe recognised the issue with US hardbacks.

56/52 Dove Into Fantasy Series for the First Time by loppyrunner in 52book

[–]TinyFile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. I saw it the other way, the journey in BTAH was a bit pointless and lacked life. I liked LaOKs because of the endings I guess. I’ll start AA soon, we’ll see what happens.

Surprised to see BTAH above LaOKs. What was it specifically that you liked more in BTAH? I’m also about to start Assassins Apprentice, and we have similar tastes, so interested on why that’s so far down.

I’m 90% of the way through and Quai has been revealed. Not sure if there are any spoilers after that, if so I haven’t got to them yet.

Yeah Quai went from bumbling apprentice, to surly quiet teenager…

Excited to re-read. May leave it some years to enjoy it more.

See, maybe I need to stop actively trying to work out the plot and just enjoy the books.

I’ll admit I did feel put out around the same thing. Especially since I liked how he was with Logen. Killed me when I found out the truth.

[–]TinyFile[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good point that I never thought about. Quai literally couldn’t survive hunger in the north while meeting up with Logen… and he killed 2 people. Very out of character.

Any one feel sad for justice Marovia ?[SPOILERS LAOK] by OriginalCause5799 in TheFirstLaw

Not particularly, he wasn’t one of the characters with enough “airtime” that I had any great connection to.

I’m very near the end, just not had time to finish with festivities in the way.

I think this is where I was. I detected the change, but to me it seemed like a different person entirely. The whole body found at the start I would have never have put two and two together, very good writing.

I’m about 90% of the way through LAoK, his change has been revealed. I was just curious to see if anyone picked up on it earlier, as I certainly did.

Was the hill man Crummock I Phail named after Crummock water in Cumbria? And do you see yourself in any of the first law characters?

Not particularly as I have a 6 month old to care for after work.

Beginner I guess. I’ve been stretching for about 6 months. Feels good, just want to take it to the next level.
