Nice artwork. I'd like to live somewhere where I'd truly experience winter... although it'd be nice to actually enjoy it and have a nice time. I wonder how a place like that would feel.
I have an old s&s book, Sword of Winter. Writen by Marta Randall, haven't read it yet. Any anons that read it? I think it'll be my next read. Last /sffg/ book I finished was Children of Time which I enjoyed.

The general consensus seem to be that the book was good. The main thing readers seem to disagree about is the relationship between Eli and Oskar. Is it special, will it last? Personally I felt like it was special, but I don't think it will stay special. Oskar is already traumatized by the bullying, and the lifestyle forced on him by living with Eli will hardly work wonders on his mental health. My takeaway was that Eli connected with him because he was vulnerable and innocent, something that won't last if he become a psychotic killer.

Any other thoughts?

[Anonymous No.14278932]

I believe BRANDON SANDERSON has a foot fetish. My reason for believing this is because I have a foot fetish so I pick up on things most humans do not. Take for instance the ever shitty House of Cards. Now, I do not like this show (House of Cards) but I did sit through 4 seasons of that crap hoping it would get better, and in that time I noticed numerous examples of blatant foot fan service. It is a good fetish to pander to because it occupies a gray area due to the lack of nudity, which is why its perfect for a guy like BRANDON SANDERSON. Reading Mistborn, I can't help but notice how many times we are reminded of Vin's cute bare footedness. She's barefoot on the roof, toes clutching the edge. She's barefoot on cobblestone, only to walk on marble. Vin walked to his bed BAREFOOT, making no sound. Of course the obvious explanation (for the mundane majority of men) is that Vin is a Mistborn -- a thief -- and strives to remain quiet. She has to make lots of sacrifices due to the magneto magic of BRANDON SANDERSON'S world, such as never wearing toe rings or anklets (unless they are wooden or something) but I do not believe this is the sole reason for the foot prose on display in these books. The author (BRANDON SANDERSON) has fueled my spirit with his depiction of Vin. I have a hard time getting through the pages when I keep seeing examples of her beautiful foot-based dexterity, yet its these very passages that push me further on. I see visions of Vin toying with Elend, giving her man a royal footjob that any king would crave with her expertly trained toes. I think about Vin embarrassed, painting her toe nails to match her dress while Zane watches from the window. I think about her wearing glass slippers to show off her new feminine toes at the balls! Oh what a sight to behold! I am not even on the third book so I can't begin to imagine how much footy goodness is still to come. Anyway, these are my reasons for suspecting BRANDON SANDERSON has a foot fetish.

He didn't just call his black friend the N-word, he called him the N-word while the two of them were walking around naked, which is habitual because they're not permitted to wear clothes, and the subtext made it clear they're emotionally intimate

Yes, but do keep in mind that you are reading a series by an author who has zero problems with setting a book in the middle on his series on an entirely different continent with nearly no previous connection, except a few characters. And that not only once.

>or is this just (((worldbuilding))) filler?
I personally believe that Erikson doesn't really world build all that much, the different characters will converge towards the end of the book and will reappear through the series, so it is much more about the characters then the world as such.

That classic meaning of the word is not in style at the moment. It's more vogue to be fucking the dead, than raising them (i.e vampire romances).
If you want the classic use, you will have to turn to self published. Death lords, ghouls.

okay, first off? that's necro-romancer, not necromancer, though the two often overlap as a sympathetic motive. second? raising the dead isnt the classical sense of necromancy. the classical sense of necromancer is now called a medium, and involved conjuring spirits to gain obscure knowledge.

I don't hate female authors, so long as they're not pushing some kind of agenda.

Also, I don't mind urban fantasy, I actually like the concept of such a thing, but it's so rarely, if ever, pulled off well. I remember reading this one urban fantasy by Glen Cook about a private detective that never hit or harmed a woman because some shitty retarded reason, even when a woman tried to kill him on numerous occasions or killed people he knew.

Why do people feel that rape is worse than death?
Almost all the books I read people don't bat an eyelid at a murderer, they even get into relationships with them, but God forbid they find out you put your willie in holes by force. They behave like rape is worse than torture or death. I just don't understand it. A hole may be bruised if you fight it, but torture you lose limbs, and with murder you are dead. So by all these author's logic, death is preferred to rape? Is it because sex holds so much power and you're taking it away by force? Sex brought down many giants in history (women using sex to convince the men to do something). So is it hatred that the power they hold is being "wasted"?
What happens when they are raped and orgasms multiple times? Is it still worse than death?

[Anonymous No.14286688]

That is more what I meant, sorry for the lack of clarity. Orbit not in a gravity sense, just hover around it.

Well, my Jules Verne bros, looks like we're reading Ice instead this month.

I'm at the end of Worm and I was wishing so hard that Pact would have the same qualities without the shitty parts (novel length action sequence, wildbow suddenly forgetting how to write, etc.).
Your rankings started off my day with good news, thank you.

I hope the re-edit will be better. Unsong was brilliant, but I did feel like I have to watch Scott teach himself how to write.

Reading Zothique made me realize just how important Lin Carter was and what little recognition he gets. He was the curator of /sffg/ and no one seems to give a fuck.

Anyone know anything that mostly takes place at night or touches upon the lives of the lowest in society? Doesn't have to be human necessarily, I'm thinking of everything like Garret from the Thief series to Nossies in Vampire. But ideally
>mostly at night time or focused on night time aesthetics
>main character has to avoid contact with most people
>main character could be a freak/outcast
Like basically if you wrote a book about Gollum's perspective. Anything like that?

Akutagawa, albeit not quite SF, has a lot of these. Poe and Lovecraft have almost only written about outcasts.

>Night Land
This one by Hodgson? I haven't read it so I'll give it a try. If anything else comes to mind please let me know. It doesn't even have to be fantasy, like if one of you happens to know some sci-fi or even mainstream thrillers that fit the description that's fine.

[Anonymous No.14291767]

>>14291759
Yeah, I've already read literally everything by Lovecraft and most stuff by Poe and Akutagawa. If anyone else reads these posts and wants similar stuff, I'd also recommend the Night Lords trilogy from 40k.

I bet you are a discord tranny.
Met man was written in a sandbox of rationality and in essence is a model rationalist story which failed to have much originality. It was more an exercise in "What If" rather than actual story-writing.
>>14289567
I am mostly there for the world-building (character designs like the journeyman or godking or The Dark are amazing). The plot does move forward, albeit a bit slowly. The pseudo-hiatus is annoying though.

You can't have morally reprehensible characterd than Corncob or PKD. Maybe Stainless Steel Rat but that's rather comedic.

[Anonymous No.14291804]

>>14291778
I don't care about them being morally reprehensible, I just want them to operate outside of general society. It doesn't have to be about villains or creeps.

Don't be such a prejudiced bigot against US writers. It's not their fault they are only ones to write worthwhile SFF.

Unclear what to make of the difference. The strawpoll is of course the binding one. If you haven't voted in the group poll, feel free to do so. I'll close it in a day or two.
