PARROTHEAD Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Entering Age of Legend. Wondering if I should even bother finishing. Starts off strong with great characters. And by end of Age of Legend. Its best has been dragged through the mud, rendered secondary, beaten down and belittled to the point hes basically, "Just go ahead and kill me, get me outta this tale." Which at least he had that going for him. Whats left is the biggest batch of unlikable dbags imaginable to finish off. Knowing from Revelations and Chronicles the 2 least likable characters Ive ever read win the whole works. Its like Sullivan wrote the first 2 books. And D&D took over. Thats the amount of dropoff in these characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you enjoyed the other Riyria books, I think it's definitely worth reading for the all the little easter eggs. I love the whole cast of characters. It's a big group and I think they all interact well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And want to see something like what happened to Nyphs dad, happen to Moya. And pretty much everyone else. 3 more books of watching someone like Nyph become so big they devote a religion to him? I am not seeing whats to love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Arya after surviving being near burned to death in KL thinking. "Ya know. We should build churches to worship that girl as a god. Shes so great!" Thats basically the mindset of everyone.

theJ Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Currently reading A Column of Fire, the last book in the Kingsbridge series. Loved the other two. Most boring sounding premise ever, but full of suspense and intrigue. Highly recommended. They are really long. I typically move through 30-40 books/year, but the other two took me a solid 3 weeks to finish. And they're emotionally draining enough that i can't go right to the next one without waiting 6 months.

Tom Builder might be my favorite character of all times. Loved the whole series. But Pillars is special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PARROTHEAD Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Anyone check out this series? Avg over 4*s at Amazon. Compared to Bernard Cornwells novels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 About to wrap up the Foundation series and start Mistborn. It'll be interesting to see if Sanderson lives up to the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PARROTHEAD Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I started the apocalyptic thriller Last Survivors by Bobby Adair. Was the series he wrote before he wrote Slow Burn. Slow Burn was amazing and sits at 5*s after 760 reviews on Amazon. Last Survivors sat at 4.5* through 260 reviews. So thought it might come close. So far its not in the same league as Slow Burn. Surprised the same guy wrote both. 1 hour ago, titansNvolsR#1 said: Halfway through book 9 of Malazan series. One of my favorite characters bit the dust. I have a sad. Curious as to the order youre reading them. By release date, story timeline, Eriksons main 10 books and address Esslemonts contributions after. Seen all different ways listed in how to go about reading them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Erikson even said the best way is by release of his 10 main books. So I'm just reading the Book of the Fallen in the order they were released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
