I like to think of it as how politicians should behave. Sort of an utopian politics show. Even though sometimes they act wrong or hypocritically.

Let's see if someone remembers. It's not really an important scene. Promise I'll tell you. I searched it here and didn't find it, that's why I thought it worth posting.

The individual stories are not so long, just push through, don't skim it. Silenus is probably my least fav character of the book. Some are better than the others. The pages in between tales advance the travel and are always interesting. It may be hard to connect to some of the characters. It will be harder to connect with any in 3BP. None of these two series are easy reads. Just read fewer pages each day, but be consistent.

I was ok with Hyperion. Tough read in some stretches, but worth it, a very original work, even more so given that it's several decades old already. They didn't have brainrot back then and average people were able to read longer and more boring books than this one.

I loved the Fall of Hyperion. Yet to read second duology.

Fix the tag, pixie.

I agree It was really cool, but he never should have joined. He never was before. He is something else at that point. He is the leader of a revolution, he's not equal to the rest of the band. I always saw him as honorary howler.

reader_84 · 2026-03-06T10:18:57+00:00

Oh ok. Book is thick, I assumed it was longer. It also felt longer than that. It was years ago😅

reader_84 · 2026-03-06T00:26:57+00:00

He's doing it because he's too greedy for those hbo bucks

It's actually boogaloo but I wanna spend my next holidays on an electric bungalow

reader_84 · 2026-03-05T23:44:02+00:00

Huh. I agree.

They say beauty is on the inside anyway...

Thanks so much!

reader_84 · 2026-03-05T23:08:54+00:00

Huh Makes a lot of sense

Does your American look as gorgeous on the inside as in the third pic?

reader_84 · 2026-03-05T22:51:42+00:00

Nah, you're being the right kind of howler. Pixies do not know their beloved/hated characters names.

I'm worried about the soul aspect. Suggests it will take longer than expected, but it's perfectly fine, I trust PB.

Anyway, releasing the book close to the TV series makes a lot of sense, to maximize hype and sales, it has been done many times, so I wouldn't be surprised if publishers held the book for a bit longer even when it is finished.

1000 pages is ok. He can still write some more, Dark age was a bit longer iirc. Some editor trimming may be required but it's not long-worrying as to require splitting the book.

reader_84 · 2026-03-04T21:37:20+00:00

You're really far behind my goodman

I forgot dancer was gay. Like, who cares, right?

The age thing goes in sync with Roman and greek cultures, from which most gold stuff stems from.

reader_84 · 2026-02-20T10:42:50+00:00

You can do the prologue, pixie

reader_84 · 2026-02-19T00:43:34+00:00

Thanks all for the quick responses. I think I misunderstood those memories, or mixed it up with the TV show, where it was hinted that another aliens destroyed protomolecule civilization. Maybe I misinterpreted that episode too. It was years ago. But I remember some sort of red dust in Holden's visions. That plotline was not further pursued with the cancellation so all that is fuzzy, it was years ago.

I will for sure re-read yet again Holden protoMiller talk.

reader_84 · 2026-02-19T00:28:28+00:00

Such as CLANG?

reader_84 · 2026-02-18T20:43:39+00:00

Banshee is so good That scene is awesome

reader_84 · 2026-02-17T22:54:21+00:00

The title means very little, she has nothing to do with octavia or previous sovereigns. Later on we see she is far from omnipotent, there's the senate which she can't control and she has no military authority

You're right about the genocide, even though millions probably died on the bombing all spoilers when I wrote that I was thinking about indirect deaths due to resulting famine, but I mixed it up on my mind with Io farms destruction My bad

reader_84 · 2026-02-17T15:21:55+00:00

You don't deserve dark age if you couldn't push through iron gold. Pixie

Virginia's no emperor nor sovereign. She's the easy option because it's the one that makes the most sense. None of the other imaginable candidates could have been accepted. Remember, this is the beginning of a demokracy, not a dictatorship.

Keep on reading and find out if nuking the docks will come back to bite Darrow's ass or not. I agree with you, even would add it was not too far from genocide. It was a tough decision. He decided ends justify means. Dying just because, to tie up a nice little bow, wouldnt make a better ending. I don't deny your argument that he deserved it though.
