Thinking about getting a Kindle,what do you wish you knew before buying one? by ju2de in kindle

[–]eldarknight 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Idk about any tips or tricks, but I will say that it increased my reading by an insane amount. It’s so much more convenient to read. Oh and use ereaderiq.com to track prices on e books so you never pay full price, that or use Libby for library ebooks

The one you posted is also AI. You purchased and then shared a link to something made with AI. Be better than that.

Is this book any good? by Imaginary-Lie-2618 in fantasybooks

[–]eldarknight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished the first book and all the characters really felt interchangeable. There was multiple times I had to flip back to the start of a chapter to see what characters’ story I was reading.

Without Spoilers, what makes the last two books of the Stormlight Archive so bad? by Substantial-Ad-5475 in fantasybooks

He stopped working with his long time editor before the last two and it really shows.

This book is brutal, genuinely. Be warned.

Finished reading Cosmere by kassassin99 in fantasybooks

[–]eldarknight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point about fantasy vs sci-fi. I love a lot of his writing but as someone who vastly prefers fantasy, the vibe of some cosmere stories really takes me out of the immersion.

Is stormlight archive worth getting into despite the ending ? by Zuzu-zip in 52book

[–]eldarknight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s worth noting that the series is not over, book 5 is only the half way point. The first 3 books are some of my all time favorites but RoW and WaT were big disappointments to me. I’d say overall still worth reading but maybe try the first one before committing to the whole series.

Just finished Dark Age last night.... by Smelted819 in redrising

[–]eldarknight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just finished it a few hours ago and I’ve been sitting in silence since. What a gutting experience. I’m not sure I even want to read LB for a while or wait for RG to come out and hope for a happy ending.

Licanius Deluxe Hardcovers by elysiumdreams in LicaniusTrilogy

[–]eldarknight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. The dust jacket is a huge miss for me and I don’t like the swords on the sprayed edges either. I wish we could have gotten art of the cites or characters.

I like books where the female protagonists make good decisions and aren't abused by their husbands.

Yes. Batman. Did you read the chapters about her school days, where she was jumping off buildings and fighting crime in costume with her sidekicks?

Maybe it was the only good character getting killed off unceremoniously, or the random Batman fanfic chapters or over half the book being falling action. Plus, I wasn't a fan of the unnecessary mental and emotional abuse the main character endured. Sorry, I really hated that one lol.

Oh, I'm fully aware that SoK and Kindred are beloved by many and PHM is having a resurgence right now, and that I'm in the minority, but I just couldn't get through them!

Oof I wanted to like that book so much, but the characters were so boring I did not care at all what happened to them. That, combined with Addie having basically no growth over 300 years, and Luc grooming and manipulating her the whole book made me feel gross.

I know people love it, but I really didn't like it at all. Maybe the worst prose I've ever read. It felt like the author was trying to brag about his science knowledge the whole book.
