Thoughts?

Have you all seen anything else like this?

    It’s not released yet and don’t know when it will be. It is made by the same team as their mod for CK2, which means the possibility of epicness is high.

      I’m re-reading AGOT for the first time now.

        Feels kinda different 30 years later when the 6th book is still not written.

          I know, right?

          Series started in 1996 and is reaching its 30th anniversary (it’s currently 2023).

          That’s… bad, actually. Fans have died not knowing “what happens next,” let alone the ending.

            Autor is in his 70’t too afaik, and 6th book is “nearly ready” for like 8+ years at least. book 5 released in 2011.

            He will die and Sanderson will finish it lol.

              I don’t really like BrandoSando that much, tbh.

                I do. Depend on books though, but he’s currently top fantasy writer. I especially love his forst book “Elantris”. Stormlight is very good too. His most famous cycle “Mistborn” is pretty much overrated, but i love how he learned through it and took feedback, for example in the first book he did ridiculously overworded action descriptions dragging endlessly, but later he did resigned from that.

                Another thing i like is his take on magic. For every new setting he thinks of something fun and new and mostly coherent to be integral part of his world, instead of making magic recycled puken out pseudo-mysterious pizza like most other authors.

                Other his books i read: Warbreaker - good, Rithmatist - scholomance genre but actually very good, Skyward - worst i ever read and only one i never read more than once.

                  I stopped reading his main series of novels. That is, the Stormlight Archives series, which is supposed to be his magnum opus, or at least the closest thing to it.

                  This was after the second book. I never read the third book and certainly not the current fourth one.

                  I suppose I could explore more of his repertoire, but frankly, I don’t really feel like taking a gander at the moment. Maybe later. Maybe never. I’m actually trying to explore more obscure works and genres, similar to what @SovereignState@lemmygrad.ml is doing with that “Satanist” novel that he’s reading from the time of the Bolshevik revolution.
