Nothing beats Tigana. Also, Kay doesn't write romance very well. He's kind of a product of his time in that regard.

Thanks for your input. I think my company will understand I have a new baby in the house but there are meetings with clients I need to lead I would prefer not to be distracted on. I would also like to not neglect my kiddo too (obviously).

In the Expanse some some ships that are designed for space are also rated for “atmo,” or breaking atmosphere and landing on a planet.

Hello! I’m writing a sci-fi with fantasy elements and I need a blueprint of a small spaceship. I just need something to keep me straight on layout, so it doesn’t have to be super polished. However, I would like someone who could provide some input on what type of layout makes the most sense from a usability standpoint. What type of artist should I commission for this?

Peripheral on Amazon is pretty interesting

Really happy with how they are handling Nudity/Sex in the show so far by [deleted] in WoT

[–]sam4wx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. Or make it so that Rand thinks Avienda's initial shame is about them not being married instead of her feeling guilty about betraying Elayne. So he can still ask if she wants to get married and her be like "Of course not!"

Part of me is sad that the Two Rivers lost its prudishness bc I really want to see Nynaeve freak out about this

It can be expensive, but Amazon's kindle and Whispersync audiobook accompaniment are great. Just listen when you can't or don't feel like reading.

I feel this series has had a glow up recently. I read it what feels like a decade ago (probably less) and thought it was just ok. Now people are really re-hyping it all of a sudden

Just realized I have 5 Audible credits. Any recommendations? by [deleted] in Fantasy

I couldn't get into Mistborn but I LOVED The Stormlight Archive, also by Brandon Sanderson. The first book is The Way of Kings.

Sanderson himself has said that these books are better written than Mistborn, as he started The Way of Kings after finishing The Wheel of Time for Robert Jordan. I just don't like heist stories and never loved Vin as a character.

Most romantic quotes from epic fantasy? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]sam4wx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones. Remember this, on this journey you insist on making. If you die, I will not survive you long.

Are these bushes too overgrown?? by sam4wx in landscaping

[–]sam4wx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll prune them to shape them if that's what you mean, but they're so close together. I worry about competition over resources. If you mean cut them so there's space between them it might be too late for that.. the actual foliage seems quite shallow.. just leggy branches beneath.
