Asking again because last thread got capped. What do you think of The Left Hand of Darkness? I was hesistant of reading it because of it being lauded by feminists, which is rarely a good sign, but it turned out to be a wonderful book, and I am very glad I read it. Le Guin is amazing, and I look forward to re-reading Earthsea sometime soon.

Pic related. Only read the first book so far, but it was pretty dark and violent in a good way and not the grimderp SO EDGY XD way.
>What are you currently reading?
Mask of the Sorcerer by Darrell Schweitzer. It reminds me of The Wizard Knight by Wolfe, but going in the opposite direction. Don't be fooled by the shitty cover if you check it out or the "epic fantasy" description; this is Sword & Sorcery that's more about the Sorcery aspect than the Sword.

Did you mean: Post books about peasants coming to blows, hyuck hyuck.

Anyway, nobody has topped the sagas themselves. Burnt-Njal's saga is the best, but if you want some warrior action, Egil Skallagrimrssons's saga, Grettir the Strong's saga and a bunch of the legendary sagas (Egil One-Hand & Asmundr Berserk-slayer, Yngvar the Far-Travelled, Bosi & Herraud off the top of my head, they're short mind you, but often also more fantastical) might be more to your liking. Frans Bengtsson's The Long Ships got closest. There's also Bernard Cornwell with his Saxon books, because they're going to get recommended anyway even if you have read them already and at least the first few are good fun set during the invasion of the Great Heathen Army.

It was an excellent novel. Well written, with an interesting premise. I wouldn't pay too much attention to feminist squeaking - like every other two bit cult they are always keen to extend their influence.
While the novel explores the themes of androgyny I don't remember anything really feminist about it. Which is kind of a given for that setting.
It seems that LeGuin (having gone off the rails in the meantime) started pushing for the gender crap a decade or so after the novel was published.

I came up with an idea for a short story with some classmates but I'm not really sure how to write it beyond the premise so I thought I'd share it here and see if anyone wants to either run with it or give some of their own thoughts on it.

One time my advisor (we're nuclear engineering grad students) came in our office and just abruptly said, "Why don't we have a nuclear war? You know if we just launched a few nukes at each other the aftermath would guarantee that no one would ever want to obtain them." After he left we started joking about his completely random statement. Why not have two cities leveled once a generation, like Hiroshima and Nagasaki? International media records it and publishes everything and it pushes everyone away from nuclear weapons. Then we were joking about how it's decided- the UN does it through a game show where each mayor has to justify the existence of their city? Like something out of some dystopian fiction like Battle Royale or The Hunger Games (there's a lot of girls in my group, okay?). From there it sounded like a good premise for a story.
I think what I'd want to do is have the MC be working under the fictional UN's Nonproliferation Agency, and is currently trying to make the decision of which two cities to nuke. His home city is on the shortlist, but as he learns there are others working in the agency trying to save their own cities (or at least avoid their own country from getting nuked). As it becomes more and more clear that his city is likely to be chosen, he struggles knowing he can't tell his wife to escape with their kids without causing a panic as his wife is involved in the city government and everyone knows what her husband does.

It's 50/50 between this and The Long Ships for my favourite Viking fantasy.

I really appreciate the readability and humour in The Long Ships but somehow the front-and-centre modernity of it drags the whole thing down.

On the other hand, Anderson doesn't always get the old english stye quite right and it can be really jarring. It would be an interesting experiment to see Hrolf Kraki in the same writing style as The Long Ships.

It's another generic dystopian world where the UN has way more power than it does today.

Alternatively, the premise could be completely secret to the public and done as "staged terrorist attacks" that are still effective in discouraging the use and proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Living, gleaming serpents coiled around the corpse of a man, as if he had been wrapped in serpents rather than bandages and left standing there, his ankles bound together, his arms tied across his chest, his head thrown back in an endless, silent scream, his living eyes wide and glassy with pain and what had to be madness. For centuries he had suffered thus, the serpents devouring but never consuming, his agony beyond all imagination.
Orkanre held up Moon. “Unworthy son, behold your father, my loyal friend. Remember?”
Moon shrieked as Orkanre tossed the glowing head into the mummy-case like so much trash. With an abrupt jerk, the crossed arms broke free of their bonds. Skeletal hands caught Moon and held him fast while hundreds of serpents wriggled over the glowing face. Moon found his voice again. He screamed and screamed until the vaults seemed to shiver, but the mummy only laughed, its own voice deep and thunderous and infinitely terrible.

This is some good shit. I like when sorcery is treated as a truly supernatural and even evil force in fantasy and not like a fucking superpower from a Marvel movie.

I let go of the hook and ran for the kitchen, where I caught up a handful of cleavers and carving knives. When I returned to the study, Dog Face was sitting up, painfully easing the hook out of his chin. Blood splattered down his front. I barely had time to make the sign of Living Death over him and to lean forward and breathe fire into his eyes.
He screamed and fell back, eyes sizzling, popping, streaming down his cheeks.
And as he lay helpless, I skinned him alive.

BRUTAL.

Something stood up, having lit the last candle. My first impression was of a dark, shaggy beast, but gradually, as my eyes adjusted, I made out a heavy, intensely ugly woman smeared with blood and filth, seemingly naked and fully as malformed as one of those foreign cult-statues with a hundred breasts. But as she leaned into the light I saw that she was elaborately garbed in human body parts, taken, no doubt, from her enemies: a necklace of teeth and ears, leathery, boneless arms draped over her shoulders like a tattered cloth, dozens of hands rising upright from her back, clutched into tight fists. Her skirt, which concealed nothing, consisted of dried penises strung together with hide thongs.

I know this isn't /crit/, but when I post the opening chapter of my book there people admit they aren't reading it but still say it's shit because tolkienian world building is apparently pleb tier shit to them

I'm not looking for praise or approval, but if someone had some free time and could just tell me whether my shit sounds cringey or readable, with the understanding that action-driven story is what I'm going for, I'd really appreciate it

Way too flowery (like ersatz apex predator), with weird and stunted characterization and above all disjointed. You need to slow down, draw it out, make it interesting. Also, awash in all those flowery archaic words, you have modern terms which breaks the immersion.
As for the slug from Hell, I would suggest writing something that does not sound like that scene with the space penis cobra from Prometheus e.g. not having everyone poking the thing.

Anonymous Wed Jul 31 02:02:52 2019 No.13559449

Just finished reading the two books published so far in Patrick Rothfuss's fantasy trilogy. Kingkiller Chronicles is the name, but it seems like a hasty, half-hearted slapped on name for the trilogy since publishers demand every trilogy has a name. He is skilled with prose and his writing flows well, but he cuts corners. His diction and syntax are all too modern for what can be no later than a fantasy world based on 17th century technology. Aside from that, there is a good mix of humor and drama, but if you can't stand a main character who is at times ridiculously intelligent and at others blitheringly retarded, and who is basically a child up to the end of the second novel, you should avoid it. It's not an epic adventure story, it's more of Harry Potter but with sex humor (and actual sex, later). His magic system is partly not magical at all (think alchemy from Full Metal Alchemist, he lays down a set of principles and designs a system of 'magic' that can be studied and mastered), partly ripped wholesale from Ursula K. LeGuin (the real magic is actually the names of things which grant you power over them).
I don't really have a problem with any of the above. What really soured my fun with it is how almost preachy the second book got. Almost political. Painfully political. And stupid. I don't mind female warriors in fantasy, but he tried to explain it away in nonsensical terms - that women are more cool-headed than men, thus they make better warriors. He does have some good female characters, but the main character pines after an actual prostitute who sells her body to get around the world and has no compunctions about it (and coaches other girls to do the same). There are several points in the second novel where you can almost hear Patrick addressing the reader, with the main character having a 'revelation' that women are free to sleep with who they please, as if he was wrong to think otherwise and everyone who doesn't know this is a fool.
If anything in the above paragraph irks you, I don't recommend the series. It is well-written, but not without flaws.

Fool. Saying that something "has no message" is a self aware/conscious statement but is impossible because the creator will still be influenced by A) their cultural/political/societal/etc background/opinions, and B) whatever "thing" they are "saying nothing about" in the first place. "Art pour l'art" for example developed in response to Victorian moralizing in art, and were in turn criticized by Nietzsche as "Art is the great stimulus to life: how could one understand it as purposeless, as aimless, as l'art pour l'art?" and by Marxists for creating art that could only be appreciated by the wealthy and would ultimately destroy art's value to society.

There's also the added issue that with genre writing where "saying nothing" is often used by idiot pinhead nerds going on about "WhY dOeS sCiEnCe FiCtIoN hAvE tO bE aBoUt IdEaS? wHy CaN'T iT bE fUn?" because they hate reading but are nerds and because they are nerds they are "smart", and smart people read, so they must therefore force themselves to read, and by right-wing leaning authors who are too cowardly to ignore their critics.

Nobody reads. Everyone with enough of a brain to put together a competent and interesting book picked a career that there's a higher demand for, and it's pretty hard these days to be an engineer or lawyer and devote all of your free time to something like writing in order to get enough practice. Most of us who would spend our free time on that just write porn or something instead, since at least people appreciate that in some way and we're starved for attention as it is.

Victim of its own success. He wrote the early ones so that, if economics dictated, he could end the series on the next book. There was urgency, things were immanent, it was happening. But they were a commercial success and he got contracted for x more books so there was too much sea room and he died of thirst.

I read a book that had that in the plot I think.
They couldn't understand human invention because they didn't have the spark of man or some crap like that. Or because they were the invention of man's dream/hopes and those dreams / hope shaped them to be rigid to their traits.

Faded Sun trilogy.
I read the back cover and though it sounded good so I bought it. It wasn't until I got home that I realized CJ Cherryh was a fucking woman. Never would have bought it if I knew. Still forced myself to start, I'm about 150 pages in and am really enjoying it.

I really like the building aspect of that series. The writer is a oversexed boomer though. Having some sex in the series makes sense to make it realistic and grounded but every girl the mc meets wants to fuck him which just becomes silly eventually.

Just finished this trilogy, I thought it was a very fun read, if a little predictable. Any recommendations for my next read, besides the stand alone novels which I've just ordered from Amazon and the continuation trilogy coming out in Speptember?

I read these books and enjoyed them and literally cannot remember anything. I remember Glokta's introductory scene, and something about some strong negress in book 2, and that's it. I remember almost everything from Malazan and I fucking hated Malazan.

The design pays homage to a lot of things and capeshit is none of them.
