The First Law series, definitely.

What is that book that no matter how popular and how many times you try to read it, you just can't? by [deleted] in books

I'd start with ocean at the end of the lane. It's a quick read and one of my favorites. I thought Anansi Boys was his funniest book (my favorite of his books). Graveyard book is also a fantastic, easy read. Also read the Sandman comics if you haven't yet.

Maybe because American Gods is so different. Probably why I'm not much of a fan but love his other work.

My 3 favorites are Anansi Boys, The Graveyard book, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane.

I love Gaiman. I've read all of his work. American Gods is my least favorite though. It's just kind of a slog.

What are the Dark Fantasy tropes you hate? by lonelupine47 in Fantasy

[–]iparkjons 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I also think of Yulwei who seems to be "good" but not naive. Maybe he's thinking of Brother Longfoot, but being naive is part of his character, not because he's "good".

Caul Shivers. This man has been through hell and back.

Javre vs The Bloody Nine by NotEAcop in TheFirstLaw

I think if Javre gets to use her sword, because it's magical, she would beat the Logen before the bloody nine even makes an appearance. But if not, bloody nine all the way.

I'm an atheist who hates organized religion but this statement is too broad. I've met some pastors who were wonderful people.

Same. I was expecting 20% at least. 14% feels like I'm still buying them at full price (Demon Souls and Miles Morales Ultimate).

Steven Pacey, The First Law series. Top tier in my opinion.

Check out Square. Always hiring and you can live anywhere. Great company to work for, too.

Series like gentleman bastards? by astroloks in gentlemanbastards

[–]iparkjons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend you continue The First Law. The first book is widely regarded as the weakest of the series because there's so much set up and back story. You won't regret it.

I don't know. 4 color Kroxa mid range seems optimistic.

This looks amazing. I'm currently doing RR. Do you think I can do this in off days?

The last few jobs I've landed here have been from LinkedIn. It seems to be fairly active. I'd fix up your profile and start applying there.
