What's a happy, optimistic sci-fi or fantasy story without any stress?

reposting to catch the wave of the new thread

Am Birdboi. I was convinced last thread to post, as we are all merely stuck here.

This is some basic stuff that isn't writing. A link to maps and a link to a spreadsheet:

Just finished the Three Body Problem, I'll admit I'm a little disappointed in how some mysteries from early in the book were resolved but I still want to see where this shit's going.

>>13123989
Seconding this.
I want to read something lighthearted, I've had enough Grimdark to last me for a while.

>>13123989

Kinda hard, but I think Little, Big is what you're looking for, a fantasy story spanning generations of a family. Invisible Cities is pretty comfy bed reading too.

Not books, but you might enjoy Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou and Hakumei to Mikochi.

And some other shit that's not sffg related.

Don't tell Sophon!

>>13124036
>Little, Big
I'll try to track this one down. The premise seems interesting.
>Invisible Cities
I haven't read this one by Calvino yet but aren't those are more literary fiction than genre? I have If On A Winter's Night a Traveler on my shelf but I've been sticking to my SFF stuff lately.

>manga
Not really my thing and one of the only things I will accept e-reading. I'll read them on a rainy day, though. Thanks for the recommendations.

>>13124043
>waldo rabbit
Can you elaborate more on this one?

Any new fantasy from 2019 worth reading? Most recs are from a few years ago.

is there any gay fantasy not written by women

>>13123989
>>13124011
Trader's Tales from Golden Age of the Solar Clipper

It's a series in which absolutely nothing happens and every second is amazing. There's no action, no adversity and very little drama. Just a cozy story about our boy working his way up the crew ladder on commercial cargo space freighters and trading goods on the side.

The books are appropriately named Quarter Share, Half Share, Full Share and so on. There are 6 books in the series.

Book 2 is a bit of a mess and is an anomaly, you might dislike it if you're not into haremy/cringe storylines but the rest of the books are great.

>>13124080
Probably better off looking on amazon or googling 2019 fantasy and wading through lots of shit tier blogs for something decent.

>>13124076
>Can you elaborate more on this one?
whacky adventures with a wannabe dark wizard and his friends.

>>13124111
Fair enough, thanks.

>>13124107
This sounds pretty comfy, thanks for bringing this to my attention m8

>>13124076

Calvino wrote a lot of stuff that's pretty much fantasy, kinda in the same vein as Borges. Invisible Cities imagines a fantastic and surreal city every short chapter as a means to pass some message or reflection. It was even nominated to the Nebula.

>>13124107

Thanks for the rec too, that sounds pretty good, exactly the kind of sffg book I always wanted to read. Series are not my thing but I'll surely read the first one.

>>13124104
Shadowdance by Robin Wayne Bailey

Why do so many people like Terry Pratchett?
I'm not saying they shouldn't, I have never read him, just find it kind of curious that I don't think I've ever seen anyone here speak poorly of his work.

>>13124216
discworld is pretty unique and one of those series that formed the perception of fantasy for a lot of people.

>>13124104
The Steel Remains by Richard Morgan

>>13124216
I guess it is what it's trying to be. If you don't want a light comedy routine in a fantasy setting you know early on that you should stop reading. Complaining about basic prose or shallow characters would be like complaining a xanth novel had too many puns.

>>13123989
Watership Down is pretty comfy

Is Neuromancer a good book to start with science fiction?
I mean, I know that apparently it's really good but is it a good idea to read if you haven't read any sci-fi before?

>>13124415
its a pretty easy read and easy concepts to get, but you may not appreciate what it does without having read earlier scifi for context of what going on in sifi at the time.

>>13124440
What earlier works would you recommend, Anon?
Like I said, I haven't actually read sci-fi before but I really enjoyed the Blade Runner movies, Dredd, Minority Report, Gattaca, Interstellar, the Deus Ex games.

Currently reading the Revelation Space trilogy and realizing that Mass Effect wholesale stole a lot of shit

>>13123989

>The City of Qushmarrah is uneasy under the rule of the Herodians — short, balding men whose armies would never have conquered the city had not the great and evil wizard Nakar been killed and sealed in his citadel; had not the savage nomad Datars turned coat and sided with the invaders; had not some traitor opened the fortress to them. Not many would welcome the return of the old religion, the bloody return of wizardry... but there are some patriots who would accept the return of the devil they know, if it meant the return of independence.

Shades of Grey - Jasper Fforde: You know those mediocre YA series about oppressive dystopias based on peoples skin or eye color or some other bullshit? These books with boring edgy teenagers with an unwavering resolve to dismantle said improbable regime and blah blah blah... Hunger Gayms and Red Grinding and the like.
How'd you like an actually entertaining color dystopia book? One with an adult main character who just wants to get a job and maybe find a wife. And an actually interesting dystopian regime built not on an evil ruling class, but on simple blunt bureaucracy. Well this is it.

Guns of the Dawn, by Adrian Tchaikovsky
>set in fantasy version of the late 18th/early 19th century, with magic being a gift in the blood of noblemen, activated by the king branding you
>not-Scotland (Germany) has a republican revolution, goes nuts, and attacks not-England their equally-sized neighbour and longtime ally against the not-French overseas
> Emily (Elizabeth Bennet expy) is a minor noblewoman in a picturesque English town who constantly stands up to their shady governer, Mr. North (Darcy)
>the war is going well, but we need to conscript more men!
>the war is going well, but we need even more men!
>the war is going well, but in our desperation, we need a woman from each household!
>instead of sending off a servant, Emily goes herself because she wants to find her brother and husband-in law
>gets some shit training and is made an officer due to her birth
>instead of being sent off to the glorious fields where most of the fighting is, she ends up in the swamplands, where neither side is used to fighting there
TL;DR Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice volunteers out of love for her family and country to go fight in fantasy Vietnam when her country adopts female conscription, with barely any training, a musket, a pistol, and a sword (and without narrative buffs to make her physically stronger than male soldiers)

>sees goodreads review
"also, the amount of lewdness in the book is obscene. im not easily deterred by things sexual in nature, but this is too extreme for me. a big neon flashing trigger warning is necessary for the following: rape, gang rape, pedophilia, bestiality, incest, mutilation of bodies, graphic murder, physical and emotional abuse, repetitious orgies, torture, misogyny, etc. and none of it has any relevance to the plot or progression of the storyline. i understand that mythology doesnt shy away from such brutality, but there is a difference between being aware and just being down right offensive. and this book is the latter."
>misogyny is lumped in with paedophilia and gang rape

>>13125329
>because she wants to find her brother and husband-in law
>husband-in law

>>13125361
Someone else is her husband of the heart or he brainfart typoed and meant husband and brother-in-law.

>>13125341
I think it's great, hence the rec (though I like most of the guy's other work); hope you like it, too
I should point out that most of the Pride and Predjudice stuff is in the first fifth/not-quite-third of the book, being the lead up to Miss Marshwic going off to war
It can be a bit slow if you want to hurry up to the fighting, as I did when I started, but I got used to that

Not that anon but the book goes on about matriarchal rule, and putting the woman back in power. So that neon haired trigger lovin cunt probably saw the "putting the queen back where she belonged", and jumped to read, then saw all the rape and dick girls hyenas. Probably flipped their shit.

their brother volunteered, all idealistic-like, and they haven't gotten any letters from either him or the brother-in-law, who went to the same front, the Vietnam one, instead of the one with cavalry charges and glory

>because I'm basically shilling the novel now, have this excerpt on guns being an equaliser (though that trigger discipline):

Emily lowered her musket slowly, feeling the weight of it already familiar. Some of the others were complaining, saying their arms hurt too much to fire the gun again. One said, ‘I thought you soldier types got swords. Why can’t we get a sword? I reckon I could use one of them.’
Demaine wheeled himself closer to her. ‘I haven’t got a sword myself, soldier.’
‘But I could have one,’ the woman pointed out.
Demaine smiled at her. ‘There is a sabre behind my desk. Go and get it, would you?’
As the woman ran off inside, he reached out to Emily and took her musket, then reloaded it without looking, fingers practised and nimble. When the woman came out with his sabre, unsheathed, he was aiming at her.
‘What . . . what’re you doing, Sergeant?’ she gabbled at him.
‘You have a sword, like you wanted. So now what?’
‘Well, I didn’t mean . . .’
He did not lower the gun. ‘If you have a sword, then you must be strong, swift, nimble all at once, and you must have your enemy within arm’s reach. I am no good any more with a sword, but I can kill a man a hundred yards away just with my eye and my finger. A gun makes killers of us all, ladies. It will make the slightest of you as deadly as the biggest, strongest man, and you will never have to pit yourselves against him, to strike and avoid his blows and land your own. All you have to do is pull the trigger and he will be dead. And when your own death comes, ladies, it will not be from a man standing before you, pitting himself against you. It will come suddenly, and you will never see who has done it.’ He lowered the gun at last and gazed down at it almost fondly. ‘With one of these, ladies, and a good eye, I am as deadly as any man that runs on two legs – and so can you be. Practice is all.’

Thanks. I downloaded Quarter Share this morning based on yr recommendation. Free on kindle lending library.

20% in and very comfy

>>13124107
libgen'd the series and reading Quarter share now. It's a warm glass of cocoa atm, even though I'm just Chapter 2.

>>13123989
I enjoyed the Lost Fleet books, they're military SF where, through the use of superior tactics, the heroes always come out on top. Pretty fun series.
If you're looking for something a bit more swashbuckling, Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom series is a good bet. Sword fights and sky boat chases across war-torn fantasy Mars, where heroes rescue damsels and justice prevails.

>>13125333
Yes.
I might alternate it with different "animal with question marks" images though.

I bought a few audible credits but have had some trouble picking anything due to many of the narrators having voices that I dont think suit the book. Any audiobook recommendations with good narrators?

>>13124107
I checked it out and so far it seems good enough, though the writing is a little simplistic and I generally don't like first person narration. I also don't like the weird portmanteaus he's using. Stanyers? Kilocreds? I understand what they mean but they sound a bit childish. That said, it's hardly the worst thing I've read and at the speed I'm reading it, I could probably just read it to relax and switch off.

>>13126252
Peter Kenny's narration of the Culture series is pretty good.

The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie. Only 60 pages, seems to be building up nicely so far.
>What is the last book you finished? How was it?
Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie. A step down from the First Law series mostly due to the characters but still a solid story.
>Have you already picked out the next book you'll be reading? What is it?
Red Country by Joe Abercrombie which will be followed by Sharp Ends. Reading it all before I move onto something else. That something else will likely be The Forge of God by Greg Bear and the Anvil of Stars if I enjoy the previous book.

>>13126698
If it's old-style firearm combat (i.e. lining up in distant parallels and firing at the crowd opposite you) the difference in gender would be mostly superficial, especially if there's a high mortality rate and both sides have similar levels of experience. The margins would really start to open up when it comes to practised reload speed, physical fatigue and emotional trauma, and to that extent I agree that it would be a better idea to go for younger men as opposed to their mothers and sisters.

Is Lin Carter any good? I'm in the mood for more Conan and John Carter type stories and he's got rip off series for both

>>13126893
Nice rebuke you spacker

It's well documented that firearm tactics of old were greatly inefficient. Inaccurate firearms/projectiles and the widespread and overwhelming anxiety towards killing another man, enemy or not. In this case, the disparity between genders would certainly exacerbate the issue, but it wouldn't be the death knell of any army that wasn't already on an inevitable path towards failure. The most unbelievable part of that passage is the Hollywood-tier accosting by the Sergeant of Emily. An old officer wouldn't need to show off to shit-heel recruits, especially not female ones, and especially in such a modern fashion.

Mentions a very specific part of an 18th century soldier's life. He highlights firefights, when that would have been maybe 1% of what a soldier did, when marching over 12 hours a day, pushing cannons through mud, building earthworks, bayonets charges, fighting house to house, guard duty, getting soaked to the bone in the rain and snow, trenchfoot and all that boring shit would have been a soldiers life. and something a woman wouldn't cope at

Sorry, not read it yet anon

I've been collecting these SF Masterworks over the last year - they look like shit but Fopp and HMV sell them new for £2.50 so can't really argue with that.

Is this worth 35 bucks?
Only read a sample of the first Earthsea book, seems pretty good, it shows potential.

>>13128476
Yes, the Earthsea books are fantastic

>>13128120
Essentially it's a mystery about the aboriginal people of a pair of alien planets told in three novellas. It's tough to understand what is going on even after reading it all. Very good. Some people call it their favorite Wolfe book.

Not exactly fantasy but how're Doyle's White Company books?

I haven't touched fantasy since I was a child but GoT left a bad taste in my mouth.
Picked up A Wizard of Earthsea and I can't remember the last time I read with such ease. Enjoying it, although the pace moves too fast for me. I'm struggling to put it down and tackle the more challenging books and essays I need to get though.

>I could probably just read it to relax and switch off.
This is the biggest plus about it for me. Have all the same concerns as you, and the warning of some cringe stuff in book 2 with the original recommend has me slightly spooked, but it is comfy as a switch off book and am breezing through it.

My friend is trying to get me to read the Dresden Files. Is it good? The description of the main character makes it sound like some nerd's power fantasy to me.

>>13129494
It's not good in the sense that it is deep or will change how you think or have you dwelling on it. It's good in the fun sense though, like a summer blockbuster. The first three books take themselves more seriously than what follows them, so try at least the first one and keep going down the rabbit hole if you like it.

what are you looking for in one?

Where do I learn words that describe specific bits of architecture and natural scenery?

Canopies and copses. Vaulted ceilings and archways. Portcullises and oxbow lakes.

Is there some place to go to expand your lexicon?

Finished Earthsea this morning. Really enjoyed it, I might continue to give fantasy a chance.
Three questions:
Are the sequels worth reading?
Are there other fantasy novels with similar literary merit?
And on the concept of 'naming': which thinkers have expanded on this? For some reason I feel there are French theorists who have touched on the power of names in the same vein, has Le Guin popped up in Lacan or Derrida or someplace?

I just started reading Lord of the Rings (never watched the movies) is it a good reading? Also why is Sam such an elfaboo?

>>13132282
Read the Hobbit and watch the LotR movies instead.

Well, a relatively simple but reliable tool which rapidly projects a significant volume of small pieces of metal (at high speed) towards your target does strike me as a solid concept under a very wide range of conditions.

>>13132558
The more high tech and complicated something gets, the more people go back to the basics.

>>13132558
People used bows for what, 5000 years? Spears even longer than that. Guns are essentially crossbows with added tech. Handeeapons change pretty slow.

Sir William's certainty in the righteousness of his and his friend Alen von Helsing's cause as vampire hunters is challenged by the knowledge The Merge brought, but that's nothing to what it did to Jane Alexander. In a moment she went from a very young vampire living on the blood of rats in the sewers of Paris into a moderately healthy young woman who knew that she needed to eat and who could once again feel her body as her body. All because she Merged with Alice Blake, a sixty-two-year-old nurse who had read the Vampyre Compendium IV cover to cover.

As she remembered her fellow gamers' casual dismissal of the fact that she was still alive, Jane became one ticked-off vampire. She was going back to Londinium to have words with Sir William and Alen van Helsing.

The AK is kinda at a dead end now that everybody wants optics on their guns though, the back part of the gun is just a flimsy sheet metal dust cover with a big bolt flopping back and forth under it (the FN FAL's bolt is about a third of the weight IIRC and the FAL fires a full-sized rifle round not a intermediate cartridge), and it's ergonomics leave a lot to be desired. The gun is still good enough but now even third world countries want AR15 style rifles.

>>13132629
>>13132807
>>13133014
And arguably firearms development plateaued in the 1950s. Every notable idea was tried and since then the main changes have been in stuff like recoil control and ergonomics.

UNCROWNED FUCKING WHEN

I`ve been JEWED! I downloaded the kindle preview of this last night to see if it was worth reading. At first, it seemed like a nice prequel about (spoiler alert)octopi, so I went and bought it. It does start as a prequel, but then I guess it skips ahead? All I know is the unbearable cunt Kern is in this book too. I don't know why I didn't guess it, by the ending of the first book it is evident the author can't do without his nice creations, so he plot-armors all of them.

Guess I already bought it, might as well go and read it.

Why don't you tell us when you're done? Elves in LotR are almost mythical creatures, close to legend for the common man and hobbit. They are insanely beautiful and very alluring.

>>13133382
Don’t forget spearboy is also there too.

>>13133382
I wonder how many people from his clan lindon inadvertently got killed. He brought the wrath of a school on his clan and you know the other clans would take advantage of that. Also curious if the valley is special or if everyone in it got so weak and complacent that over time jade just became the top tier.

>>13133522
Probably a lot, considering his sister is a starving thief now. Everyone thinks it’s a cursed hellscape because the dreadgods like to hang out there every now and then.

>>13133408
Reading it now. Kern isn't that bad, what are you one of those anti-science fanatics?

>>13133566
I honestly don't think too badly about her. But her part is done. Seriously. She was supposed to be dead for a long time now. The part in book one where she is downloaded into a computer made of ants was the most bullshit thing I've read in a long time. It is as I said, the author can't let go of his creations.

>>13133511
On one hand it might dilute the story a bit much but on the other I kind of want like half of an upcoming volume or even an entire side story to be focused on Spearboy, his and Lindon's sisters and Orthos.

>>13133572
The ant computer was cool fuck you

>>13133610

Ants don't have enough clock (frequency, cycles/second), to make any serious computation, much less hold a conscience. Oh, man, that ending was a complete disaster. Imagine thinking the spiders had a chance in hell to begin with... oof.

The problem is the speed. Even using electricity, that move with speeds comparable to the speed of light, we already have problems making fast calculations because of the distances involved on those nanometers between transistors, imagine if we made a computer that each information carrier had to walk around! We'd never get anything done. But that is beside the point, this whole thing only happened because the author wanted to keep his damn characters (and the spiders, that would have been inevitably annihilated by the humans) alive so much he just had to come up with some bullshit like that.

>>13133824
>After he cucked that ant with a moth
what

>>13133806
He still might. I assume it was implied when lindon healed her that in suriels vision jai chen was lindons wife. The obvious ending is that lindon joins the abidan but maybe he will just get stupid strong and live a normal life.

>>13132558
the ak is actually one of the most resilient weapons there is.
it fires when clogged up with mud, when wet, when damage to the barrel is inflicted and when jammed.

Happy splooge-master?

>>13134379
I finished it a week ago and while I would not call it terribly boring it was far from the most exciting read I've encountered. What I did find exciting was the feeling of exploring a vastly different world, which the book conveyed reasonably well. The whole thing was basically an exercise in worldbuilding. Everything, including character development (the captains relationship with his families) were there for world building reasons.

This was such a rarity. At this point I'm almost trained to expect half the plot to be left for sequels down the line.

I guess Peace isn't exactly SF/F but I just finished it and a bunch of you read Wolfe so I figured I'd ask something here. In every discussion I've read about readings of the novel, nobody talks about Hannah, who seemed to me to be an important, recurring, mysterious character who haunted Alden. If you've read it, do you remember having any thoughts about how to place her?

How will the inevitable Lindon vs. Yerin at the tournament go?

>tfw the R. Scott Bakker meme has finally died down
Were his books really as edgy and obsessed with degenerate sex/violence scenes as it seemed at the time?

>>13135161
I wouldn't say "obsessed" because there are other writers who use edginess and degeneracy in such an obvious, ham-fisted way. The edginess and degeneracy feel more organic and less LOOK AT HOW EDGY THIS IS XD in Prince of Nothing than, say, Abercrombie's grimderp; even though Prince of Nothing is still more edgy and degenerate. Grimderp still mostly sucks though. If it moved away from trying to be edgy epic fantasy that has to SUBVERT DEM EXPECTATIONS I'd be a lot less forgiving.

>>13135255
*I'd be a lot MORE forgiving.

>>13133332
>The AK is kinda at a dead end now that everybody wants optics on their guns though
Any yet here we are in 2019 and most of Eastern Europe would still rather just come up with convoluted side mounting rails than just make a new rifle considering the whole AK-12 project doesn't seem to be going absolutely anywhere and most the forces are still using AK-74's or even fucking underfolder AKM's in some instances.

>>13135255
As in Abercrombies Trilogy? I slogged through the first one and dropped it after reading about 1/3rd of the second. Just felt so bland.

>>13135311
Eastern European military budgets are small (paradoxically, for being former Russian slave states) so for most countries spending money on more important equipment and then doing cheap upgrades on rifles is a better option.

>>13135393
This is the correct reaction to reading grimderp.

>>13135148
Lindon gets more shortcuts from akura and beats yerin but yerin places higher than her old master.

HoB is pretty decent, so far
Sir Apropos was a far more likeable un-hero, but I'm not complaining

>>13135979
You didn't miss anything, House of Blades is shit. Cradle is better but it's getting worse since the last 2 books.

>>13135855

>>13135979
He wrote house of blades a few years before cradle so he might not have refined his style at that point. The books are pretty good although I found the ending unsatisfying. Apparently he is writing more travelers gate books.
>>13135988
This is wrong

>>13135446
He does,the first three books are one long storyline.

Is Mercedes Lackey a good author? I keep seeing her books around, whenever I look up fantasy stuff

>>13136103
By the Sword and The Last Herald-Mage are the best she has to offer. Her books can be kinda angsty and broody with more drama and romance than your typical medieval-ish fantasy. I might be making it sound more cringe than it actually is, I did really enjoy those books but if you don't want something thats more feminine they might not be for you.

>>13136137
It might sound retarded, but I've always been attracted to her cover art although I know nothing about the books.

>>13136137
I enjoyed the Curse of Chalion, so I'll give them a shot. Are the two standalones, or should I read one before the other? Which is better?

>>13136204
>Curse of Chalion
Is Lois McMaster Bujold's book not Mercedes Lackey's.
Lackey's writing is aimed towards a younger audience unlike LMB's. If you liked the writing in CoC you can try LMB's Vorkosigan series.

>>13136235
Oh, I know, it was just the first thing that came to mind with "feminine" fantasy. Vorkosigan is good (even if the last couple of books haven't been so great).

just wrapping up the silmarillion for the first time, i was a little disappointed by the lack of detail regarding a few things but aside from that it was pretty enjoyable

might skim through the unfinished tales once im done before i go on to re read the trilogy

>>13125317
I actually went to an author talk with Marlon James and he got asked some questions about why the book was so fucked up. He said that he was just repeating the Central/West African folklore he based the book off for the most part, which makes sense.
Old school folklore is kinda brutal in general no matter where it comes from.

>how are the 2001 sequels?
Only read 2010 so far, really enjoyed it. Most people probably wont enjoy it as much as 2001 but still a great read. Going to start 2060 soon.

>>13136279
Is Curse really feminine though, granted it's low on the action side but more than anything it has mature and thoughtful themes.
Lackey's writing on the other hand is catered to younger readers.

>it was all a dream
>truman show
>it was all fake
I like the empty feeling those tropes give me, especially if it was pulled in a nasty way.


On a sidenote, what's some recent horror/fantasy that's decent? Horror novels tend to have tropes that are quite different, even when a normally horror author decides to do fantasy. It's refreshing.

>The end of eternity. I'm liking it so far.

I can't read fantasy that's based on medieval Europe. The setting just feels so unbearably banal to me. It's uninteresting to the point of being painful.

>>13135906
Yes. It's leagues better than lotr.

>>13135979
House of blades is true anime in prose. When people talk about Sanderson being anime, you know they never read any real anime in prose before.

>>13135936
>>13136762
Why? What holds your interest?

>>13136904
The Hobbit is much better after reading LotR, especially LotR's appendices. Gives the dwarves' quest to reclaim a portion of their homeland a lot more weight. I understand if the story itself being a little lighthearted in some parts may put you off though.

Is it worth it?

>>13136990
Yeah definitely. It gets a lot of hate in these threads, but that's mostly just contrarianism. After the first book it becomes a highly original take on 80's fantasy that hits most of the right notes and has some fantastic climaxes. It's not without flaws but it's definitely worth reading through at least once.
With that being said, the typical disclaimer is that the first book is kind of shaky, and the last few books as well (on account of some being dictated by Jordan as he lay dying, and some being written by Sanderson).

>Flowers for Algernon
>A Canticle for Leibowitz
>The Dispossessed

Which do I read next?

>>13136880
Well house of blades is jap anime, and cradle is Chinese wuxia.

>>13136784
Maybe you should save shit you like, instead of hoping someone else did? Just a pointer to life.

>>13136990
No. But rebbit loves it, so you might too. They love cliched shit that has fillers up the ass.

>>13136990
Absolutely. It's a flawed masterpiece and because it's popular it gets a lot of hate (especially here). The series really opens up after the first book and has some of the best worldbuilding fantasy has ever seen.

>>13137016

>>13137562
No. The main characters start out young but that doesn't mean it's YA or similar.

>>13137615
>start out young
They don't even start out that young by YA lit standards, all of them are over 18. Also, all 14 books take place in a span of 2-3 years iirc so it's not like there's a lot of age development.

>>13137730
I thought they were more like 16 but Nynaevae was the eldest at 19. Not that it makes much difference as a most of their growth isn't in age. It's no longer being naive ignorant country bumpkins.

>soldier thing and the men it commands wreck the place and leave when they can't find him
>cue angry wizard, who is kind enough to enchant a sword to help protect the guy when he grovels, but screws him over when he does so
>the sword will make him unbeatable in combat; his life force is tied to it, meaning it'll keep him alive until it's destroyed, which it pretty much can't be ue to how potent the magic on it is; and can only be drawn and used by him
>however, after about a hundred uses, it'll be able to be drawn be someone else, and the sword will kill him when this happens, and the cycle repeats again for the next wielder, with them having about ninety-nine uses, and so on until it'll just be an unbeatable sword that any random can pick up
>obviously he kills the scary monster-dude, and then his commanders have to figure out what to do with this unparalelled sword-guy
There, spoiled about 2/5ths of the book, just like the blurb; it's not very long, and, again, it's max comfy, despite the whole soldier thing

Any good fantasy where a major character is a hypnotist? For disclosure, I have a fetish for that shit, but I also want to see someone else's take on it. I don't think I've read a book with one.

Does BotNS get better after the first one? Just finished it and thought it was a a bit shit

>>13137772
No, I just checked again, Rand and bros are 19, almost 20 (They turn 20 in TGH), Egwene is around 17 and Nynaeve is in her mid 20's.

>>13138110
Mind control NTR is very based.

>Are the two standalones, or should I read one before the other?
The Last Herald-Mage is technically a trilogy but the individual books are pretty short and it's easy to find a paperback omnibus edition for cheap. They both stand well on their own and the order doesn't really matter but Last Herald-Mage was published first.

Just thought it was boring, had a hard time caring about what was going on. I get that it's picaresque which means loosely connected episodes .. but these were a bit TOO loosely connected; so just felt like random weird events after another. And yeah yeah I'm a faggot but I thought a lot of the stuff with the female characters was kinda cringe.

Life moves in loosely connected episodes, appreciate the books that try to mirror that.

I think all the instant gratification and technology addiction has rotted your brain with serotonin.

Look m8, I know this is hard to take in but some people out there in the world don't like the things you like, and that's ok.
