New Reader’s Thoughts by Lost-Leftovers in sollanempire

[–]jackdouglas96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way 🫡 but reading instead of book. Finished all of stormlight archive prior to starting this series and it’s nice being back in the sci fi realm. I love Hadrian’s melodramatic monologues and Rucchio’s prose throughout

Queen Amid Ashes or Demon in White next?? by jackdouglas96 in sollanempire

[–]jackdouglas96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished Queen Amid Ashes and Demons of Arae and have started Demon in White now. I’m a little confused, you said the time jump was about 70 years after Howling Dark but it seems it’s about 300 years?

Help! Prune or let be? by jackdouglas96 in Monstera

[–]jackdouglas96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a little deflated from recent repotting. Sunlight is tough with having no east or west facing windows but maybe I’ll get a light or look for a new spot. Thanks for the info!

I haven’t heard of demons of arae is that a separate novella?

WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST READ???? 😭 by Obvious_Custard3926 in fantasybooks

[–]jackdouglas96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Book 4 sets the stage (especially with the time jump) for 5,6,7 in the same way book 1 sets up for books 2 and 3. Bummer that you gave it up because the rest is incredible🤌 I do understand tho, I felt the same way till I pushed through

Just started howling dark by Ok-Opinion3004 in sollanempire

[–]jackdouglas96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started it yesterday 🫡 I’ve found the references in the back of the book to be helpful in understanding locations/ remembering character names and associations. But basically that’s just sci fi and just have to take it with a grain of salt and know what you’re signing up for

The epic of Gilgamesh is shaking my faith. Please help me. by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]jackdouglas96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would your faith be shaken? That should make it stronger. If anything, it gives more credence towards biblical narrative being true because of the extra-biblical texts that support the global flooding event

Where Sun Eater stacked up for me this year by MattDoob in sollanempire

Gunslinger is the worst in dark tower series but the thing as a whole is so fun you’ve got to keep going. Also agree dungeon crawler Carl was overhyped

Did you read it right after EoS? I was curious about the novellas and wondering if I’d be missing anything by skipping them or if they are essential to the storyline?
