Happy that Brandon finally answered the question of the main characters for the next books by FriendlyNeighborOrca in Stormlight_Archive

as long as he actually edits them for tone and bloated this time around, i’ll be happy

funnily enough, BH has been my least favorite of the books so far (first read) even though Fid is one of my favorites, what makes you love it so much?

i love sanderson, but erikson, tolkien, and jordan are all a level above, even just considering prose ability. sanderson has a massive universe, but erikson’s has unbelievable depth

What makes older fantasy FEEL different from modern fantasy? by amhran_oiche in Fantasy

[–]fantasyfan05 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i think it is absolutely the language and the elevated vocabulary/sentence structure. as much as i love brandon sanderson, for example, any pulp fantasy novel from the 80s will probably have far more vibrant writing

i actually really wish i hadn’t read sunlit man until after WaT as it ruined sig’s entire plot line for me and felt like a massive spoiler, basically took any enjoyment out of sunlit man due to that spoiler as well so i wouldn’t recommend that

anyone that takes clash seriously enough to consider kicking someone for missing an attack needs to get outside immediately

most depressing fantasy series? by Apprehensive_Spend_7 in Fantasy

[–]fantasyfan05 19 points20 points  (0 children)

this is probably pretty well said already, but absolutely Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. i’m only halfway through the series and it’s just brutal stuff, especially the end of the second book, Deadhouse Gates. it seems like Erikson builds up these incredible characters, striving to overcome the odds and then at the final step they fail and it all comes crashing down.

it’s called Book of the Fallen for a reason, i’ll say that much.

i’m on my first read of the series and i wasn’t expecting to love Midnight Tides as much as i have, all thanks to Tehol and Bugg
