Asimov is a great writer but I don't get the hype about the foundation series. I'm on the third book of the trilogy and while very good it pale sin comparison to his robots focused books especially the ones with short stories. I especially enjoyed I, robot a lot more.

I'm reading the first (Foundation) and I dont get the hype either. There isn't enough time to even get to know the characters. Nevertheless it's a pretty fun read so far. My favorite part was when the priests revolt.

>>15728114
The character you get to know is the universe everyone else is a side character. You care about the fate of the galaxy not the fate of men, which I don't mind honestly. I just prefer a "smaller" focus.
And yeah that part is pretty great honestly how he handled the whole concept of the tech-priest is frankly way more appealing than what contemporary writes do, taking 40k as an example. The idea of people trying desperately to fighting for rationality against the current dogmas while the superstition of the masses crushes them unabated because those who hold true knowledge egg said masses on,even thou they know they are wrong, was great. Even if I don't think it his best work is definitely worth a read.

just finished The Color of Magic by Pratchett, my first time reading a book as a hobby
enjoyed it quite a bit, very creative and fun, got a little confused at points though such as when Rincewind created an airplane from his imagination, and some of the descriptions for geography/scenes had me lost at times (the stuff with the Edge and Krull, the upside down ring fight in the Wyrmberg), time skips and such were a little odd too, felt like 4 short stories in one book
does The Light Fantastic and his later work become easier to understand and less chaotic in terms of pacing?

What is the spark of life? How many years can part before it’s too late to fix our mistakes? Off World begins with a young man named Jasper South waking from a ten year stay in cryostasis. He’s woken forty years early by his former employee, Phillip Swan, who has lived those ten long years entangled in a world of illegal, state-of-the-art science and the criminal underworld. Jasper finds that a dark conspiracy has put not only his life in danger, but the lives of those he loves.

>Royal Flash
That sounds like a novel where the princess or queen was put under compulsion by a dark wizard, to flash males they meet with their panties. It all goes wrong when the queen is meeting a foreign dignitary and flashes him, the local populace knows of the royal family's afflictions, but the aide that was supposed to inform the diplomat took it upon himself that everyone knew, and didn't do his job... The queen tries to hold on as much as possible, but in the end, she flashes the diplomat. He, being from a land where women are open about wanting a tryst, takes it as the queen wanting something more, he just takes the fighting as her being coy and wanting to make the session spicy...
The guards take the diplomat and execute him on the spot... Now the two countries are at war.

I made it to the start of the 4th book, but once it became clear her lesbian girlfriend was going to become a super powered main antagonist I dropped it like a hot rock.

Overall though it feels like a lot of authors are being asked to include women even when they wouldn’t otherwise be there. Like in the newest Black Company book where the Company suddenly has a whole section of women despite them never being mentioned before. Or in the Red Night series which is fairly grounded in reality- apart from the magic- making sure to let you know there are still more than a few women in their mercenary company- even though it makes no fucking sense.

What are some kids /lit/ with a romantic subplot?

[Anonymous No.15738050]

>>15705935
Just finished the second book, and so far, hell yeah I love this.
I actually got teary eyed a couple times. Which I rarely ever do. And I sure as hell never got teary eyed over devotion to a man before. I didn't expect that. I didn't know what that feeling was. It just suddenly swelled up in me, and in my heart I was like MUH KING!!!

I didn't think I was a sucker for this knight and chivalry stuff until now. I mean, I felt some of it during Memory Sorrow and Thorn. But not like THIS. All the misery, all the sorrow, all the hardships, make the connections one feels to another so much stronger.

These last two books stand in stark contrast to some others I've read, where bad things happen just to be edgy or shocking. Like the how The Library at Mount Char is all "LOL RAEP. LOL RAPE. BAD GUY REPA" like a cartoon. Compared to this book where the mere suggestion of rape fills you with real dread.

I have to admit, the conflict feels a little contrived. Just a little. I wonder how characters are able to get away with so much. Trust and patience can only stretch so far, until I think it doubtful that no one acts.
But then again, I don't know much about royalty to really understand how much power certain people of positions have.
But twice again, isn't it the author's job to impress upon the reader the workings of their world?
Well in anycase, how contrived the conflict is, is really a small matter.

I have a feeling the third book is going to be crazy. Please no one comment on the third book. I want to stay spoiler free. I'm pretty good at deducing even vague comments. So please none of those either. I have some predictions though:
Molly's new lover is suspicious. I feel like she will show up again, entangled in another plot. She's actually kind of intolerable, and I hope she really has left Fitz for good. They're a bad pair.
Fitz and Kettricken are a far better match, and I actually fear that there's going to be some cuckold situation. Some of Fitz's admiring thoughts about Kettricken were not Verity's own. They would make good lovers and a royal match.
Joining the Skill and the Wit are important in some way. I think Verity learned the Wit sometime during his quest. Kettricken obviously has it too. I think the Fool wanted Verity and Kettricken to happen, because it joins Skill and Wit in their child. But I think Chivalry was ahead of everyone. And the reason he had a bastard child, was for the fact that the woman had a good bloodline for the Wit.

But I think that even Chivalry neglected something important: The necessity of a queen. The queens play into this somehow, in a way I can't quite figure out. There appears to be a theme of queens or important women becoming lost, and then things falling into ruin. I think that somewhere in the telling of the Elderlings, there was a queen involved, but she was lost in history, and only the king's accomplishments were remembered. Or perhaps, her accomplishments were made his.

Patience really badly wanted to be a mother and a perfect wife but turned out barren and it made her a little crazy. Chivalry was basically the perfect knight in shining armor, and Patience never expected him to even give her a chance because she was from a small family that wasn't politically important, but he was such a chad he didn't give a fuck and married her anyway. But when she turned out to be unable to give him an heir, she basically blamed herself. Her husband was literally the perfect king, so the fault could only be hers, in her mind.
Then along comes Fitz, and she basically doubles down on trying to mother him, because she also blames herself for not immediately adopting him so Chivalry could make him the legitimate heir, which directly led to him abdicating and his death.

That's a very nice sounding profile for her wiki entry. I get all that. But all that really doesn't say much about her autistic tendencies. Everyone always thought she was odd. She did bad in school, but then taught herself in her own time. She becomes hyper focused on one task, before becoming bored and quickly dropping it for another. Spending all day in her room playing with her knick knacks.
At one point, Fritz asks her to spend some time with Kettricken. And she gets really anxious, and admits that she's only been avoiding that due to shyness. She describes herself as flighty.(and she is)

There's a story of her climbing trees, and then asking for the man she's interested in to tie her shoe for her.(I kind of forgot the detail here. I think it was tying her shoe. Or maybe it was something else) Which was her roundabout way of getting attention.

She speaks rudely, not because she's trying to offend, but because she often misses social cues. And she becomes overly concerned about what she's doing, that she steamrolls conversations.

I could probably pick her apart if I remembered more of what I just read, but the info eludes me now. The gist is that Patience was the weird girl before she found out she was barren. And a lot of traits that she has are thought to be just a little wacky to an early 90s author. Because back then, autism wasn't widely understood.

I actually finished the last (fifth) book last night. I found it was not as bad on the whole. Easy entertainment if you can endure the postmodern bias. What really got tiresome was how forced the women was in these books. Every women you encounter are either smarter, more skilled or more tough than many of the men they interact with. It's not quite Mary Sues, but at times it feels like the author has a boner to elevate women to a pedestal while men form more as a backdrop, cannon fodder, antagonists, and/or the butt of a joke.

In his defense I found several characters well developed and the main plot quite fun.

What shit books have you been reading?
You don't want magic, you want magical realism, where you don't know if what happened was real or not.
Why are magical realism fags in this general?

pretty interesting how shit the characters were. The book is cool in showing how Chinese think differently about the individual and shows what they believe the world will look like in the coming future too. The Dark Forest is better by far though

He already confirmed it won't be out this year and he's had nothing to do but write for months. No cons, sports games all delayed and cancelled, can't even leave the house to do anything really. Still so behind he already knows he won't finish this year.

I read Blood Song by Anthony Ryan. I enjoyed it a lot. First book I finished this year that wasn't a reread. I bought it in mass market paperback then to my chagrin saw the rest of the trilogy is only available in large print paperback because it was published right around where Randomhouse stopped doing mass market paperbacks for a lot of their authors.
