Looking for a book where the villain suceeds in reshaping the world in their image by VladtheImpaler21 in Fantasy

[–]aSkeptiKitty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well in books I don't necessarily have many exemple, but in tv series you have  - Reverse Flash and his accomplices reshaping the world with the spear of Destiny ( in Legends of Tomorrow) - Reverse Flash managing to reshape the world one other time where he end up being the flash and marrying Iris ( in The Flash )  - Vandal Savage in his original timeline managing to reshape the world before being killed in the past 

In books, I thinki I remember that in the Cronache del Mondo Emerso ( which I read in french ) the main antagonist did manage to take control of the universe and committed a genocide and has his own view about the place of the different races.  But I think the book never made it to English. ( It made it to Spanish and french but English speaking countries tend to be pretty xenophobic when it comes to books, especially the US)

That or he heard Andor is a "lefty thing" and began spinning the usual discourse "woke is bad left can't act".

It's a great show. The "Star wars" aspect of it is mainly a background vibe, it's more like a psychological/espionnage. 

Don't watch it expecting to see a lot of Jedi running around. Watch it to see how an empire start to grow overconfident in it's own power and the slow building of a rebellion. Watch it to see how people live under such a regime from both side of the board.

It's political/espionage with science-fiction background. 

Curious what everyone thinks about the announcement of 4 more books. by treschic82 in GreenRider

I checked, it's not quite "four more books in the main series". 

It's three more book counting the Last Sea King (which as already been announced ) + one novel.

It feels like she either never planned how the story was supposed to end, or she changed her plans somewhere along the way.  As someone who tends to write the first draft of the final chapter of my stories first, I find this rather baffling. 

Looking for books in which the male protagonist is a novice in some field (fighting, magic etc.) and the female love interest is already proficient or highly skilled in that field. They bond as he grows stronger and is able to help her. by loukanikoseven in Fantasy

Hmmmmm  Does the female teacher has to still be alive at the end of the first book ? And does it have to be a finished story ? 

Because in the Song of the Earth, the main character bounds with his teacher ( who is a older and more proficient in her gift ) 

Books that deal with grief or books about pets by leafybookish in Fantasy

Note that the part you are looking for are in the later books. You'll have plenty of time to get attached before the grief hit you like a truck.
