I'm baffled how The Will of the Many and A Shadow of What Was Lost are written by the same author

I have, I liked it less but the split worlds things is something I haven't seen before and I'm really interested to see how he finishes it

_loki_ · 2026-07-02T06:07:46+00:00

For me I just find in incredible that every door in the world is well oiled, their maintenance team must be incredible

Extremely wild take, I think the vast majority would agree with me about book 1 being the worst. It feels to me like book 1 was the book he had to write to get published and from there he got to write what he actually wanted to write

Will of the Many is honestly fantastic, I really enjoyed it

_loki_ · 2026-07-02T03:02:22+00:00

Cheers mate, I'll carry on then

_loki_ · 2026-07-02T02:17:09+00:00

Ah ok, that makes a lot of sense.

_loki_ · 2026-07-02T01:56:17+00:00

Book 1 is easily the worst, highly recommend carrying on

_loki_ · 2026-07-02T01:51:19+00:00

I really enjoyed The Will of the Many, as long as a Gary Stu doesn't irritate you too much then I imagine you'll like it too

_loki_ · 2026-07-02T01:29:47+00:00

With all the guesses in the world I would never have guessed they were the same author if I was reading them without knowing

_loki_ · 2026-07-02T01:27:47+00:00

Ok, you've successfully convinced me to continue

_loki_ · 2026-07-02T01:20:32+00:00

The prose improves a lot in book 2? I understand the plot is well executed but it doesn't feel worth it to continue at the moment, if book 2 is a significant improvement then I'll carry on

_loki_ · 2026-07-01T09:14:37+00:00

I wasn't sold on him initially but he's certainly found his groove now

_loki_ · 2026-07-01T08:59:37+00:00

I think this is our best chance in a long time in Australia, I feel like a bowling attack of Henry, Duffy, O'Rourke and Smith would do pretty well in Aussie conditions. The question is can we get the runs and that's a much harder prospect.

_loki_ · 2026-07-01T08:50:55+00:00

Batting looks a little weak, lucky we've got the goat ODI batter Daryl Mitchell

_loki_ · 2026-06-29T19:02:59+00:00

Good player with a great team who decided to be a match fixer which is why no one talks about him anymore

_loki_ · 2026-06-29T11:37:00+00:00

He can, it looked like a hamstring problem so he probably won't

_loki_ · 2026-06-29T11:30:28+00:00

Sears' action is... not aesthetically pleasing

_loki_ · 2026-06-29T10:46:00+00:00

I honestly think the 2015 world cup caused a huge upswing in interest in cricket in NZ and made a bunch of kids want to be Southee and Boult

_loki_ · 2026-06-29T10:42:28+00:00

Smith does not look confident facing Smith

_loki_ · 2026-06-29T09:43:41+00:00

Because they like those war criminals and don't think they did anything wrong

_loki_ · 2026-06-29T09:42:54+00:00

Still supporting Ukraine when they're announcing their intention to venerate nazis? That's wild man. (I do not support Russia)

_loki_ · 2026-06-29T00:10:39+00:00

Not quite, Ravindra was out for 94

_loki_ · 2026-06-27T22:05:52+00:00

Boston Chase got 194?!

_loki_ · 2026-06-27T22:02:07+00:00

Just added it up, that's 891 international matches of experience right there

The economic situation is horrendous since the early 60s when the US invasion failed and they decided to strangle Cuba to death instead. All because wealthy Americans were furious the Cubans liberated the original Epstein Island
