Er, Oathbringer of course.

>>10054900
Yes.
Books 3, 4, and 5 are Dalinar, Szeth, and Eshonai (not sure about the order of 4 and 5).
Books 6-10 will be (in no particular order) Jasnah, Lift, Renarin, Shalash, and Taln.

So speaking of sci-fi, what do y'all think about that Half-Life: Episode 3 posting?

Meh. Interesting premise but Tavi Alwaysright is too much of a Gary.

Pacing issues, especially around the middle, are officially acknowledged. Gotta power through.

Alright /sffg/ I am trusting you to provide me with a sicknasty radical name for my Wood Elf ranged Fighter dnd character okay go

I actually want to start making a bug catching/etc.-related folder. Can you dump some forum posts? That's about the main material I see.

Besides Permutation City, what works of Greg Egan are decent reads?

>feelio when you're the only person on /lit/ reading Xeelee: Vengeance

"Alone" by Robert Reed was a pleasant story. Also, I can't export my goodreads library. What a shit fucking unworking feature that they need to fix.

>4 chapters into Schild's Ladder
I wish I had the mathematical and physics knowledge to understand what the fuck is going on.

>reading Deep Navigation
>another batch of stories to talk about with nobody ever
:-(

It's my favorite vidya lore.

>>9594612
Kind of? It releases in what, November? I don't know how much time I'll have to read until the semester is over. I tend to not get too hype for Cosmere shit until I'm reading it.

QUICK
GIVE ME TITLES OF REALLY INTERESTING SHIT, SHORTER THE BETTER I GUESS
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
MAYBE HARD SCI-FI SHORT STORIES?

>Gains god like talent and instantly becomes Qi whatever stage 9
>Gets back at his bullies
>Gets a harem
That sounds like Radix lawl

who /fit/ here

>reread His Dark Materials
Why couldn't Lyra have traveled with Will until he closed all the windows except for the one in the world of the dead, and the one between their two worlds?
Why rebuild the Republic of Heaven especially when the fight was against them in the first place?

I read that as a kid but I've never been able to get myself to do a reread.

>>9236655
Nothing to post and nobody seems to read the other shit I read. Also busy
