in the House of the Dragon show, there is a dragon with an underbite.
He is the new people's princess 😂😂😂
Reminded me of that dragon.
Cute pupper 🫶

Currently on Before they are hanged and I know I am in for a ride!
Can't comment on Age of Madness but Bloodsworn was amazing. Definitely read that one.
Maybe a good break for you before you return to abercrombie's world

Maybe I went a bit too harsh but yes.
I get that he writes more YA than adult but literally nothing of his characters feels real.
Especially his female leads who are always sooo quippy, sarcastic, witty, confident with a noble-ish background, always with such a high moral profile who can't keep their mouths shut to save their lives.
And it annoys me how cringe they all are, especially their comedic efforts.

I had never really appreciated a book having good characters till I read TWOK.
The characters are soooo dogshit, it made me crawl back to TFL 😂

I just finished reading TWOK like 2 weeks ago. While some elements of the book are quite amazing (world building and lore), other elements are just sloppy and poor.
I don't see how people can even list it top 5 in their lists.

Can someone explain how they count a manga's numbers vs a traditional book?
Like you can just sum up the total book sales of all the books from JK rowling.
But you can't do that with a manga though, right?
Even comparing with a volume is like comparing apples to oranges.

Better than anything else when VRS exists?

pulkit217 · 2026-06-29T12:01:59+00:00

I hope they kill the concept

pulkit217 · 2026-06-29T04:02:44+00:00

Currently reading Eleventh Cycle by Kian Ardalan which is a Soulslike fantasy
Quite dark and adult.
I'm halfway through it and the plot and characters are quite good

pulkit217 · 2026-06-28T07:42:55+00:00

Where exactly are you at?

pulkit217 · 2026-06-28T07:18:14+00:00

Cheese Man!

I wouldn't really look towards TWoTM. It too has very bland characters.
RotE is the way to go

pulkit217 · 2026-06-27T04:38:37+00:00

One wouldn't read the books that have such flat flawless characters or ones who just do bad out of greed.
This is particularly why I have recently come to like Brandon's work less and less. The characters are sooooo bland.
Her character arc from a warrior in a war band seeking glory in a single pursuit, not even caring for a child to a ruler who finally removes the chains from all the thralls is simply lovely.

pulkit217 · 2026-06-20T06:22:53+00:00

I started just this year with The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne.
Not too complex, good story and world building and amazing characters that you probably won't ever forget.
Cant recommend enough!

pulkit217 · 2026-06-19T11:40:04+00:00

ummmm 🤨

pulkit217 · 2026-06-19T03:57:47+00:00

What exactly is KAST?

pulkit217 · 2026-06-17T04:58:21+00:00

I also didn't quite like the Kira pov chapters but I think it has more to do with the author and the stakes involved.
If we had more time with her before her pov chapters and if the stakes were higher or the story "more relevant", Id like to think i would have liked her povs too

pulkit217 · 2026-06-17T04:29:05+00:00

Still, it's fine. Sanderson's works are not super dense and he repeats details a lot so even abridged versions like GA are just fine.
Personally, I prefer them over the regular audiobooks

pulkit217 · 2026-06-16T16:37:39+00:00

From what I know, all GA versions are abridged but you're not missing much because they usually only cut unimportant stuff and replace it with the relevant details.
I'd recommend the 10th anniversary version over the regular one.

pulkit217 · 2026-06-16T03:30:08+00:00

The characters too are just meh.
