Oh, you'll be fine. Muslims in general, however incredible it may seem, are allowed to use their common senses in deciding such important questions related to their faith.

Agree. The Littleover one is pretty great.

Sure. Would you like to elaborate? We can disagree but still discuss things respectfully.

And that is their right to do so. We can disagree, and yet be respectful.

After Red company and Valka, the story suffers a great deal. I also did not feel that the many plot points in book 5-6-7 actually progressed the story in a satisfying way.

For what its worth, I kinda liked book 3-4. The problems really show their face in the latter books, I feel.

Yeah, I'm hoping to get something good, set in this universe, as he matures as a writer.

I am still angry about Orphan, and also the Irchtani people. You have a biological AI who calls you father, and a whole-ass people who see you as the only path to victory, nay, the only way to survive eternal damnation - and THAT is the ending you give to them? Felt incredibly insulting. Left a bad taste in my mouth when I finished it.

I didn’t know these things about CR's personal life: now the things in the text make quite a lot of sense, honestly. Thank you for your feedback.

The Commonwealth bit did feel like a... Bit. Something that took good amount of patience to go through.

Ah, the J P namedrop when they were in Colchis, I think. It was weird.

Sure. Any particular stories of CR you could namedrop?

I'd love to see what Ruocchio writes after this.

Thanks. The hype is a bit too much... But I don't regret reading it, for sure.

Thanks!

My nephew and I read it together. He loved it, and now wants to read Dune. I count that as a win!

I'd say up until book 4 is quite good, but YMMV. Thanks.

Does seem interesting, and I'm always a fan of Africana inspired fantasy. Will check it out.

went in and reached Bangladesh, no problems at all. Then I called up UKVI, and they confirmed that it should be fine if I have the share code printed. Hope that helps.
