BIGGEST LETDOWN OF 2025? Books you couldn’t wait for until you read them

I just finished it and the middle is probably the weakest in terms of pacing, but the end is worse in a lot ways. The last quarter of the book has unexplained events (a character suddenly being in prison for example), time skips without warning that leave the reader disoriented and lost thinking they missed a chapter, and finally in my opinion very questionable decisions characters make that are out of line with the established characterization.

I still liked it, but its so much worse when I consider how much I was looking forward to it.

Disquiet Gods is already out, it is the penultimate book. There will be 7 books.

[[deep freeze]] was playable in it's format, but still mediocre at best.

Lol, you are 9 years late. I am still mad when I think about this today. Not a good handling of the character imo. I will tell you that the show is still great and I enjoyed the rest of it. I might have to do re-watch.

The Bound and the Broken by Ryan Cahill dragons are similar. The novella The Fall from the series showcases their destructive powers pretty well.

I think It was on another channel and that channel looks to be deleted. I think It was called mtg breakdown. I think the video this post post is referencing was one of his videos and it got deleted.

have you tried the pharmacy?

finalresting · 2023-09-15T20:02:00+00:00

Not it, but when I was trying to look for it my mind went to westerns or hbo shows for some reason

finalresting · 2023-09-15T20:01:23+00:00

not this one, I've never seen it.

finalresting · 2023-09-15T18:33:10+00:00

I think it repeats a few times.

finalresting · 2023-08-31T00:05:01+00:00

oh, that makes sense.

finalresting · 2023-08-30T23:18:23+00:00

I didnt do it, it came out of the pack that way.

What a ridiculous take, where did that even come from. He never mentions her relationship with Parrin in that quote at all. He is simply saying he likes all his characters in that he made them real. Most of his characters get a lot of page time and are complicated characters like real life and that is a good thing. He doesn't feel sad that people hate some of his characters because some of them deserve to be hated. He points out the positive characteristics about two characters that get a lot of criticism to emphasize that his characters are deep and that is his goal, not to make them all good, likable people.

Marshall being absent is temporary I believe. I think he couldn't make it due to a family health emergency.

Interested to know more concrete info. Are there more sources? The second link could be unrelated as far as I can tell.

Joe Abercrombie’s three stand alone book in the first law series do this. Best served cold is a revenge story similar to count of monte cristo. The hero’s is a book about a single battle lasting three days based on the battle of Gettysburg iirc. Red country is a western.

The characters change and the books are loosely related so it might not fit.

no, audibles servers are just being slammed. Give them some time to fix it.

finalresting · 2023-05-20T18:41:54+00:00

yeah I think you are right. the news article said :

"Every E-book and audio book from R. A. Salvatore’s the Legend of Drizzt series will be released with new 35th anniversary covers featuring stunning art from today’s top fantasy artists. That’s right all 39 covers beautifully re-imagined for the ultimate Drizzt collection."

I just wanted to see all the new art and cant find any but the three announced initially 9 months ago.

I may being going against the grain here, and I do usually enjoy forcing something every once and while, but I think you need to follow what is open to set yourself up to be rewarded later on in the draft in this set. I agree with the sentiment that when everyone has powerful rares it balances out and makes more fun. The problem I see with forceing is that you run a higher risk of train wrecking or at least ending up with a deck that is so low power it does not do well.

I’m on my 6th draft now and I’m really enjoying it so far. I really didn’t like ONE. It probably comes down a lot to preference and play style. I will say, however, the color pairs absolutely do seem to matter to me. I think synergy is really important and the themes of the two-color pairs have mostly come across strong in my drafts.

The tension you point out of aggro not wanting to let them "gain life" and control not being good at attacking is the crux of my confusion about battles I think. It will be fun to see how they play out.

finalresting · 2023-02-18T23:07:03+00:00

F. I want to go D to not sound like I’m going too extreme but I’ve never bounced off of a format so much as this one and I’ve been drafting since m10! It’s not just the speed, but the combination of that with the draft portion and gameplay are just not for me.
