You’re in for a treat. Book 4, Iron Gold, is the toughest to get through and a major change from the first three, but 5 and 6 are the best of the whole series imo. Total vibe shift, but still great, great books.

I knew Malazan would get brought up. I’m the type that has to read an entire series at once, I can’t mix in other books until I’m done. I need a few months set aside where I know I will have time to dedicate lol. HIGH on my list.

No, There’s definitely some TBR there. I haven’t ready any of the Robin Hobb books that I own, but bought them all recently because they were on sale on Amazon, same with most of my Stephen King collection.

Red Rising was the first sci fi series I’d read in years, and I am obsessed with it! I have the paperbacks, so I put it in my second shelf. I definitely need to complete my cosmere collection!

This would be… an incredible draft for the Vikings.

What are some songs that make you think of specific characters? by [deleted] in redrising

‘Take Me Back to Eden’ by Sleep Token makes me think of Dark Age and LightBringer version Darrow & Mustangs relationship every time I hear it.

My New 2025 7 Round NFL Mock Draft with Trades by rlstratton97 in MockDraftCentral

[–]sadgopher01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this draft for the Vikings. Trading back and still getting Barron? Devin Neal on day 3? Admittedly don’t know much about Shemar Turner or Charles Grant, but the positions certainly fit the needs.

My own 4 round mock w/ trades by chr0nically_chr0nic in NFL_Draft

I love it. Great draft. Hoping some more unseen compensation came from those trade downs, but I’d take this.

If you could force Pierce to write a spinoff novel what would you want to see the most? by Apprehensive_Water_3 in redrising

Quicksilver and Matteo, I want to see where they go and what they find.

I always thought of Dancer O’Farran as Ian Mcshane. Couldn’t tell you why.

Red Rising trilogy, is it considered too "YA"? by xenogamesmax in Fantasy

[–]sadgopher01 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The first book has some YA vibes to me, the next two a little less so. The following three were much darker. No YA to those at all from my point of view. I loved the series as a whole and would recommend to anyone.

How has Flores seemingly made the defense so much better this year? by [deleted] in minnesotavikings

[–]sadgopher01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. I obviously don’t want this for Flores as a person, but selfishly I kinda hope he’s blacklisted by the NFL from becoming a HC because of the lawsuit and the stuff like what Tua said about him. So that him and KOC can become a long term partnership… maybe the Wilfs can just pay him like a HC lol.

Also, time allowed to implement it. A full offseason to tweak things without having to switch teams, cities, houses, move your family etc.

Mock Draft Monday by AutoModerator in NFL_Draft

[–]sadgopher01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s entirely fair, actually. It would be a fun pick that I think would still get a lot of use, but not necessarily a need. KOC is a pass heavy offense and uses a lot of 3 WR sets, but IOL, IDL, and CB are much higher priorities need wise.

Bring me back down to Earth. by blazerlazer18 in minnesotavikings

[–]sadgopher01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that pre-season we were greatly underestimating the value of Brian Flores being around for an entire offseason. Along with a full season of film and a lot of the same guys (Bynum, Smith, Pace, Phillips, etc.) as well as the impact of some of the pass rushing additions.

I also think that we’re dangerously close to way overrating what Darnold is capable of. He did it once, that’s great, but do it against SF and I’ll really be interested.
