PARROTHEAD Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Was not aware that Pillars of the Earth had a 3rd book released. Checked out the 1st years back. Just grabbed the 2nd and 3rd. Called "World without End" and "A column of fire". Anyone read them? I know they take place 150 years after the first. But are they worthy and as good as the 1st?

But the stories they go through are very well written and deep into the period they deal with. Ive been enjoying them. Especially the viewpoints of peasants and surfs which was never touched on in so many other works like ASOIAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PARROTHEAD Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Last half of A Column of Fire was so horrible and the characters so terrible that it ticked me off. To the point I wanted an entire series to dive into. Anyone read any of the Saxon Tales books by Bernard Cornwell? I grabbed that and the First Law series. Trying to decide which to read first. Which I know everyone will likely say First Law, but Id like a little break from magic/mythical subjects. But want to hear the Saxon Tales series is decent. Its also called "The Warrior Chronicles" I think. Books are as titled. "Death of Kings", "Sword Song", "The Burning Land", "The Last Kingdom", "The Lords of the North", "The Pagan Lord", and "The Pale Horseman".

Never read them, but the Goodreads reviews are good (4.2ish ratings for all the books). I generally trust them as accurate. The only one that ever lead me astray was The Dome by King (had a 4ish rating). That was a really poorly written book. But i get why people liked it, even if i thought it was garbage. I may add these to my to-read list. I like good historical fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyers0909 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Finally started the Dark Tower series last week. I'm about a third of the way through The Drawing of the Three and really enjoying it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pile of series I want to get through on it. Malazan, Riyria Revelation series, Farseer Trilogy, Forgotten Legion Chronicles, Eagles of the Empire series by Simon Scarrow. Know any good series, toss it my way. I want Tim Severins Vikings trilogy. But for some reason the 2nd book wont download for me and tried a couple times. 1st and 3rd I had no trouble with.

Riyria is really good I'm also digging the Night Angel series. Really good complex characters, and a nice non-linear plot. Its magic based, but the story doesn't necessarily revolve around it. It's not historical fiction but its similar to riyria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Still kinda working on Under the Dome but it’s just kinda dull so it’s hard to read. Think I’m also going to read Timeline and Harry Potter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like if someone decided to turn a Star Trek episode into a book, where they just made up crap to fit the plot. Only instead of having some interesting characters, they just made perfectly good ones and perfectly bad ones because why actually try to write complex interesting characters. Put it down and read something else. There's no shame in not finishing a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
