Great world building, but I found myself bored most of the time and was hard for me to even want to finish it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlight isnt to conclude until 2030 or so is it? Im waiting till May for the last book to be released before I even begin "Legends of the First Empire" by Michael Sullivan. Which is a 6 book series that takes place in the same world as his Riyria Revelations/Chronicles. I don't read that series that haven't finished either, unless they're only loosely connected. A good example would be Ken Follett's Century Trilogy. You can read just one of those and it's fine. Or you can read all three and each one references the last. I stopped on two with that one because WWI and WWII historical fiction held my interest. The last one doesn't have a central backdrop like that, and i've heard that Ken has a more personal slant in this last one. Anyway, Sullivan's stuff is great. I'm also waiting for that last book to come out before i start that series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJ Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 1 hour ago, MikeT14 said: Just started Red Rising. Loved that series. Probably one of my top three book series i've read. I'm always a little jealous of people that get to read it for the first time. There's nothing like the suspense Pierce Brown builds in those books. My only words of advice - power through the first 1/3 of the first book. It starts slow, but it gets much better afterward. I'm anxiously awaiting the final book in the Iron Gold series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Wrapped up The Lost World (Dr Challenger #1) a few nights ago. It's definitely a book of it's time, but it also has some humor like you find in Douglas Adams work, which was interesting for the difference in when the books were written. Now I started The Islands of Chaldea, thus far the plot seems pretty simple for the length of the book. It is definitely targeting that same age range as earlier Harry Potter books.

RamRod Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Wanna rewatch the Godfather movies and Chinatown first, but soon I plan to start The Kid Stays in the Picture. Don't know much about him or what his story is but I've heard this is good and Robert Evans died about a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it about Iron Gold that isn't doing it for you? I'm guessing there's a lot more political stuff, less of the wrecking ball Darrow from the first series?
