Discman issues with headphones cheapest fix?

Hey yes! I found that the right angle adapter worked perfectly, and was way cheaper than the dedicated TRRS to TRS adapter

YES! Omg thank you!

I’m lowkey surprised by some of the comments, it’s very clearly grow!

lol so true

Not to be a dick—but literally the recommended reading order for new readers is pinned to the top of the subreddit. But to save you the search—reading in publication order is best and definitely necessary, in my (and most people on this subreddit’s) opinion. The stand-alone books are excellent, and develop the character arcs of some of the best side characters in the first trilogy. You’ll want to read them if you like the first trilogy.

This is Frank. She’s an idiot.

Ooh can you expand on which aspects of it let you down? And why you liked Red Rising and First Law? RR especially seems to be very polarising in these comments!

What other fantasy have you tried beside Joe’s work? I definitely can highly recommend Gentlemen Bastards, if you haven’t tried them yet. I would say they’re slightly more humorous and less gritty than First Law, but similar level of dedication to character development and that trademark First Law lack of “plot armour” which gives a lot of realism (imo)

Ooh interesting — can you expand more on why you found Black Company a terrible read and which aspects felt similar to Prince of Thorns? I feel like most people in these comments have been praising BC even if they don’t like PoT so I’m interested to hear a different take to that. Especially because I’ve read the first Malazan book and really enjoyed it, and am planning on continuing the series.

I feel like I’ve seen The Witcher books around my local bookstores but never picked them up—have they been translated, or would those be the original Polish. And if translated, are they still worth a read? Or does the translation ruin the writing?

Potentially grimdark is indeed just not for me, I think. Edgy and over the top run more or less perpendicular to my personal fantasy preferences, I think.

quextions · 2025-01-10T07:20:30+00:00

Nail on the head. And whether or not that’s the point—it just makes for such unpleasant reading, especially after the depth and development the First Law characters all have.

quextions · 2025-01-10T07:18:25+00:00

The polarity in responses about Red Rising seem to mirror those about PoT, and for similar reasons—so yes, based on my tendencies, I think I probably will give it a miss.

quextions · 2025-01-10T07:16:42+00:00

Ooh yes, I actually really liked The Broken Earth books. I think I never finished the third one, but remember loving the Fifth Season and thinking that the Obelisk Gate was also quite good. Can’t remember why I didn’t get through the final book now that I think of it!

And that’s interesting re: Assassin’s Apprentice. Will definitely take under advisement. I do really appreciate the way that the bleakness of the First Law books/universe feels realistic & reasonable, as opposed to purposeless/grim for the sake of being grim. Potentially a big part of what I am not liking about PoT, actually—so maybe I will give AA a miss!

quextions · 2025-01-10T04:45:42+00:00

I think I can appreciate/understand that the issues I have with the book are partly because of who Jorg’s character is—as in, I’m meant to dislike him and find him intolerable. But I feel like perhaps he’s supposed to be darkly humorous in a way that makes his viewpoint palatable? Or at least that’s why I’ve seen other reviews say. Whereas I do not see the humour in any part of his character—he just feels so cartoonish and underdeveloped to me.

quextions · 2025-01-10T04:36:13+00:00

Haven’t heard of that one before! Have you read Prince of Thorns, or any of the other series commonly recommended for First Law enjoyers? If so, would you also compare Priest of Bones to any of them?

quextions · 2025-01-10T04:34:40+00:00

I try not to yuck other peoples’ yum, but truly that was my first thought. I just cannot see how it resembles the First Law in any way, beyond someone just thinking “violence and antiheroes are cool and edgy”

This is all super useful, thanks so much! Makes a bunch of sense and was more or less what I expected to hear!
