Read Forever Fantasy Online by Rachel Aaron and Travis Bach

In a good way
Just read Skyward by Brandon Sanderson.
I had misgiving of a mostly fantasy author writing scifi at the beginning but
IT WAS AWESOOOOOOOOOOME
i tend to cool down in my impression of a book after several days so my opinions may meek down after several days, but for now, it was a scudding awesome book. Without delving too much to a spoiler, the book was very engaging, keeping me up late nights to keep on reading the more i read them, and most of all its just so refreshing experience.
I dont scifi much, so i dont know if this is a good book purely speaking in scifi terms, but i sure think this is one entertaining book.
If you're looking to get into sci-fi I recommend Dune. It's a classic and pretty much just a fantasy book in a sci-fi setting.
It's a series but I never read the sequels, the first one was pretty self-contained and a great read.
Not an entirely accurate statement, but not an unfair one either.
The sequels are also very good, though I consider the first novel the best of the bunch. Stop at the sixth novel, though, "Chapterhouse: Dune", and stay far away from the prequels and the seventh book - they weren't written by the original author.
Dune is such a dense read imo. Herbert was a masterful worldbuilder but his character writing and interaction often fall very flat at best and obnoxious at worst. Have't read but the idea of someone who's a better char writer handling it in his built up world doesn't seem like a bad one.
the terrible purpose
The first book of A Song of Ice and Fire is so reminiscent of Dune, I sometimes wonder why the Herbert estate doesn't sue GRRM.
God the GoT character interactions were dreadful...
Eh, I liked how the characters in it felt more humanlike - in contrast, most characters in Dune are single-minded tragedy heroes.
'Did I tell you Harkonnen is Homosexual? Also he wants to touch little boys, of course, becsuse he is a Homosexual. Which is a sin. Anyways stan Paul.'
Uh, managed to forget that part.
I'm kinda fond of gramps Harkonnen - it's the Atreides/Fremen camp that I find so very dullll.
Because the association between Baron Harkonnen's many, many moral failures and his taste for young boys wasn't made explicit by the characters or the narrative. It's just that in all six novels, while basically no character can be said to be a paragon of virtue, the "sissy" characters (like Piter De Vries) are always on the side of the antagonists and are consistently more depraved than most others.
Butlerian Jihad seems gradually more and more prescient
Was it? I'm not trying to defend Herbert, I just honestly don't remember it being so clear. Is it at the scene where he's just survived Feyd-Rautha's attempt, do you think?
Sanderson is..popular.
I mean normie popular
