Fire Upon The Deep.
This was sold to me as one of the greatest scifi epics but 50 pages in I'm just not feeling it. Unimaginative premise of ancient robot evil awakening, boring alien doggos, the whole thing has very antiquated storytelling feel. Does it get better? Any point to go on?

Is it worth it to read any of the sequels to the The Magicians? I was sort of surprised that it had any, it's a pretty fine standalone novel. The last page didn't really make me want more, I thought it was a satisfying conclusion and I can't really imagine any greater growth for the characters.

I thought it was worthwhile overall, but you may feel differently. Personally I would have preferred it never involved fillory, but that's the main point of all 3 books. Quentin isn't really likeable and he has a lot of suffering in all 3 books and basically explicitly says that he only thinks he's the chosen one even though everyone else including the reader knows he isn't , but the finale of the 3rd book is that Alice is revived and they live happily ever after, more or less.

The Thousandfold Thought, last book in the Darkness That Comes Before. Absolutely phenomenal.

Black Company was great for two books and the next two were totally meh.

The Red Knight I'm reading too, but it's kind of slow.

The Darkness That Comes before is the best fantasy I've ever read. Think if you took a post trance Maid'Dib and dropped him in a grimdark fantasy world during a war based event for event on the First Crusade, but with an army of demons emerging from behind the scenes as the Muslims and Christians genocide each other.

Does this sound like it can be interpreted as a metaphor for something:

A billion random people all over the world each have a "spirit" inhabit one of their hands, which they perceive as a symbol with a countdown sequence stylized into it. This countdown can range from starting at days, to starting at months. Once the countdown runs out, the spirit disappears. Before that, each host has the option to let the spirit consume a human life in order to make itself permanent, while also granting the host a magic power in the process. The catch is, trying to consume somebody with more "ambition" than the host will instead cause the host to be consumed and the target to gain the powers. The power ends up in the hands of whoever will use it more.

Also, anybody who is found out to have these powers is arrested and imprisoned indefinitely with no trial since they are considered murderers.

About 3/4ths done with sword of the lictor and it is amazing. Each book so far has just gotten progressively better, and even though it took some time getting into shadow of the torturer was still great. Maybe it's because sword is a little more action oriented and answers some questions that came up in the previous books. There are so many hostile confrontations in this one and Wolfe is great at creating tension. Sword has also been much more transparent about sci-fi aspects, whereas the previous
books felt more sword/sorcery, but I'm sure when I decide to reread sometime in the future I'll pick up hints about technology that I missed.

I always thought Sword would be a test for how much people cared about finishing. The already thin plot of getting to Thrax just gets thrown away and we get a really episodic format for the rest of the book. Halfway through I thought "what is the point of all this?"

It's a logical and "eyes wide open" outlook. You wanna be fooled by your chemicals doping you? You enjoy life and the chemicals, but don't let the dopamine blind you from the truth. i.e if you find something worthy to escape through, your brain rewards you with "feelings" to make you do it again. Life is all about those rewards. When the rewards stop, you an hero.
Why do you think people kill themselves after a child dies, or a significant other leaves? If they were your lifeline to life, and they were severed, you are not getting those rewards. Some people are lucky enough to get multiple lifelines, so when one snaps, they can depend on others, but many people only have the one.

> The novel details the attempts of two of the priest-clans, the Kaiel & the Mnankrei, to expand into territory controlled by the Stgal. Ultimately, all the priest clans are trying to attain dominance of the planet through the use of new technology, propaganda, treachery & "war", a new concept in this world.

Why couldn't it just be about cute alium slugs? Was the inclusion of pozzed human parts about a brave team of diverse female-led astronauts with names like Pajeet Abdul Park Leibowitz who spend their time whining about small NASA budgets really necessary when it only hurts the story. I'm just thinking how much better off the story would've been if every mystery happening to the inhabitants of Dragons Egg wasn't instantly revealed to be a result of mundane human interference.

Different anon, but as someone who read the entire thing, there are entire chapters that are a slog around 2 thirds in, but all the buildup from just after the kinda cringe first chapters is very good. The writer put himself under massive strain and expectations writing entire 8k+ word chapters in less than 3 days for years on end, and while that's a massive kudos to him as a writer, it shows in some areas. It's not a published novel, but it could easily be someday. I'd also credit it with one of the greatest final battles in all of fiction. But you gotta get through 1.6 million words for that

Finished sword of the lictor. Very good. It had the same meandering plot except instead of traveling to Thrax and getting sidetracked, Severian is searching for the Pelerines. I think I enjoyed it more than claw because most of the detours involved danger. The past 2 books it felt like a lot of his escapades ended with him meeting a new woman and telling her how much he loved them. In sword he meets dangerous animals and crazy people that often end up being dangerous as well, so it felt a lot more action oriented. The ending has me a little confused but as I understand it
At some point Baldanders (whose 3 lifetimes old) met the 3 cacogens (aliens) that occasionally gave him tips because they claim to want to help humans of Urth. He experiments on the lake people and created Dr. Talos to monitor his own growth which I assume he augmented quite a bit. He chucks the claw because he thinks it's superstitious nonsense and Severian gets pissed and they fight. Later Severian finds the actual claw and realizes the crystal was just a container.

Instead of discussing literature you should make your own blogs where you post reviews on books. Maybe people pick your blogs up and read your book recommendations. It especially concerns fiction because its hard for people to choose among countless amount of it, good review blogs might help a little.
Make a name for yourself on goodreads, and then proceed to advertise your fiction literature blog through various methods. Might as well make a youtube channel to compliment it.
Nowadays people follow celebrities and internet personalities, not gather together equally. Just try not to make yourself a walking meme.

so im thinking of doing a wizard fantasy novel and trying to work through the spellcasting. i want to do it old-style with rhymes and incantations that make sense, rather than random words with latin roots. but like the better the rhyme, or think like a diss track in rap, the more powerful the spell.

GORMENGHAST
THE KING OF ELFLAND'S DAUGHTER

IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THIS, NECK YOURSELF. ABOMINATE YOUR EXISTENCE. DEPART. PERISH. VANQUISH YOUR SELFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

Dune is fucking weird. Why didn't anyone tell me that Dune was so weird. I thought it was going to be about sandworms and magical spice and shit like that.
But as it turns out, it's all about genetic freaks with the ability to see into the infinite possibilities of the universe, and control people by pitching their voices, and hyper intellectual toddlers.
It's kind of cool, except after finishing the first book, I have no clue why I just read what I read.

What drugs was the author on when he wrote this? It was originally published in the 60's right? So was this guy like an acid tripping hippie/engineer? Paul is such a ridiculous marysue, that I can only hope that he's being set up as a bad guy, or at least given decent opposition. Still, it's kind of fun seeing Paul do ridiculous things with his ridiculous powers. Please don't spoil for me. Like I said, I've only finished the first book.

They don't add anything for me.

It's the same as with lengthy descriptions of new characters. I don't need to have some big description of someone's appearance unless it's super important for some reason. Just say
>handsome man with brown hair
or
>she was plain with blonde hair
And my brain can fill in the blanks. Stopping to read long descriptions just slows my roll and worsens the experience, same with lyrics and incantations.

yiddish swears are great because they sound exactly like english swears, but don't get official swear status, so you can say them wherever you want, including temple. you can call god a schmuck and all the rabbi can say is "yeah, that's fair"

as for soros he's not some "jewish mastermind". its a little ridiculous how nonsensical antisemites get over stupid conspiracy theories. you don't cite sources, you don't provide evidence, your only justification seems to be that jewish billionaires exist as if white, non-jewish billionaires don't outnumber every other ethnicity except maybe the chinese

like, I can understand why you revile black people even if I don't agree with it. the anti-jewish shit just sounds like the ravings of a lunatic. if you guys wanted to say billionaires in general had a secret cabal dedicated to controling the world id buy it, but my mom cant even afgord her apartment without a roommate. you're telling me she's got influence over world affairs?

No. The argument is that by insisting on a separate identity she puts herself at odds with a cohesive society and will be drawn to ideas and actions that undermine it.
