Yes, it's absolutely kino, especially for a series of kids books. I re-read it a few years ago as an adult and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great twists, great monsters, a surprisingly large dose of horror, and a pretty interesting dark fantasy setting.

For cringe self-published works, I recommend John Bowers' Starport series. It's a Tom Clancy-esque political techno-thriller set in the laziest space opera setting I've ever read. It's essentially our present day, except countries are planets and airplanes are starships. People watch holo-screens. Everything hovers. Cars need a natural resource called hydroleum.
There's the planets Askelon (Space America), Environ and Tropicon (Space Banana Republics--they speak Spanish) and Eroak (Space Commies, sorta Russia, China and Norks). One of the good guys is Colonel Oliver West, disgraced by a scandal from decades ago. The villain is the evil trillionaire octogenarian Jorge Sorres. In a later book, a mysterious junior senator becomes President of Askelon, but is his birth certificate even real?
That shit aside, Bowers can write surprisingly well for a self-published author. The prose is clear and flows well enough. Characters have arcs. Protagonists are likable. Villians have nuance. Even minor characters have little touches that make them real.
I wouldn't call Bowers a great writer, but he's better than, say, John Ringo (which admittedly is a low bar to hurdle).

That happens for a lot of the stuff I read. It happened for me with a lot of Wheel of Time (the first 5 or so books then the magic wears off), it happened with a lot of Malazan (books 1-7, after that it turned into a slog). Gene Wolfe's BotNS did it for me too. Happens every time I read the Black Magician trilogy, or when I read anything by Tad Williams (Shadowmarch, MST, Otherland), or the early Raymond E Feist novels (mostly just Riftwar, Daughter of the Empire, and Serpent War). Also reading Fellowship of the Ring lets me completely lose myself in the story, but for some reason not the other two volumes of LotR. And never the hobbit, something about the writing style keeps me out of it.

Seveneves - Neal Stephenson (2015)
This is hard science fiction in the mode of "Do you enjoy reading technical instruction manuals that have a barebones narrative absent of fleshed-out characters?" There are many hundreds of pages of which I'd consider infodumps that specifically address how the world is ending, how that's survived, and what comes after the end. It's all presented from an engineering, physics, math, and biological perspective. So if you are expecting any sort of anthropological, sociological, or psychological exploration, you won't find it here. If the content of this book were food, I'd say it's almost 100% dietary fiber. It wasn't something that I could digest or absorb, and it didn't really provide any nutrition, but it also didn't have a bad taste for the most part. Overall, it's just whatever.
I would've preferred this to be three parts that were novella length rather than being a trilogy in one book. At almost 900 pages long, it had an awful ratio of worthwhileness versus time spent. I would say something about the pacing, but it was almost nonexistent, so there isn't much to say in that regard. That goes for almost everything else about it as well. The third part could easily stand alone. Would it any good in that form? No, it wouldn't, but I think it could be read before parts one and two without much difference. They could be considered a prequel origin story.
I don't know when I've last seen a book so eager to spoil itself. From the opening summary in the book itself, to the Goodreads synopsis, to even the title itself, there's no avoiding spoilers unless you go in completely blind. That's what I did, mostly. I wouldn't have read this on my own and it's now the only Stephenson book I've finished. I don't have any interest in reading any others from him. No, not even not Snow Crash, which I've previously looked at. The best that came from reading this was writing what you've just read.
Rating: 2/5

I remember quite enjoying Anathem when I read it in my late teens. After reading Seveneves and some of his other work, I can't help but wonder if it was through the lens of youth I appreciated his writing. Seveneves was bland and technical to a fault, it seemed like the frantic writing of someone so engrossed in the depths of their scientific obsessions that they lost sight, if they ever had it, of what a good story is. The likening to "dietary fiber" is concise and appropriate.

[Anonymous No.18906771]

Working my way through this for the first time. I appreciate the worldbuilding (especially his thoughtful magic systems) and thought that has gone into it. But it's awfully high-fantasy for my tastes. Magical power armor, glittering storm-powered gems that power items, magic is ubiquitous.

I'm just not a massive fan. I don't mind magic but I'm looking for more of a S&S feel. Anyone have modern recs that are along those lines? Conan-esque? Perhaps focusing less on a single heroic protagnoist?

I will say if the consult and Sranc are robots then this writer is a hack. And he's ESPECIALLY a hack if the Dunyain are robots. That's total speculation from me though based on weird phrasing in certain sections. I guess I'll see.

Sounds cool, but I imagine they never explain why he ghosted on Mannie, right?

Maybe Professor de la Paz decided it would be safer to lock Mannie and Wyoh out, but there are some problems with this interpretation: Would Prof really think Mannie or Wyoh were capable of using Mike for political oppression or something? And would Prof really do something like that when he respected individual freedom so much that he wouldn't even use force to evacuate Loonies from possible target zones?

Does anyone remember a science fiction story where an alien brain parasite possesses Hitler?

I think it starts out possessing a duck, and I do remember it says a duck was it's favourite thing to be, since it can go on land, in water, or in the air. At some point it gets assigned to Hitler by its fascist alien space bug government and goes all "I like this guy!" to the extent that it's kind of mad when fascist space bug government sends it to one of Hitlers generals I think? Who is an alcoholic. At some point it goes back to Hitler except he's a mess at this point, and then possessed a woman to type his whole story up on a typewriter and then kill herself.

I cannot remember the name of the story or who it was by, it was bizarre and I've never met another soul who's read this story. It wasn't especially good but the fact I don't have any hard evidence it exists kills me a little bit.

I would think plenty of people lose their chorae by accident. It probably happens quite often, it's a small thing, people lose their keys, their phones. Imagine how awkward it is for some captain dude to explain to his superior that he went to the potty at night and must've dropped it somewhere. What follows is a bunch of lashings, chances are they dispatch a sorcerer to walk around like a sniffing dog trying to feel the chorae out. Plus, if I had one I would never feel safe. It's like wearing a billion dollars on your neck, every criminal assassin guild would be after your ass. Even worse, chorae seems very easy to forge, without a sorcerer you can't authenticate one, they probably have like monthly chorae checks in the military to make sure nobody got swindeled or just sold their chorae for a shitload of money.

By actually developing a religion and culture around them. Which is MUCH harder than most people think because to do it properly means it becomes the bedrock of your entire story. If you want capital G Gods you need to be a pretty good writer to pull it off well. She's just been mentioned, but Lois McMaster Bujold does a good job of this in her Chalion series. Theology is a major point, the entire setting is underpinned by how characters and nations relate to the gods.
If you aren't going to make your series explicitly about the religion you're creating then don't bother with it at all and just make them wizards.

However she’d lost her mammets, afterward she had been expertly inked.

Imagine if grimderp had been inspired by Gothic or Lovecraftian horror instead of GOTTA SUBVERT DEM EXPECTATIONS bullshit. A non-bloated Gothic Horror Epic Fantasy series would be based.

You misunderstand the white luck warrior part. They perceived themselves killing him because in their/the gods' eyes, that's the only possible outcome of what is going to happen. However, Kelmomas was able to distract both of the white luck warriors from killing Kellhus because he becomes the no-god, which the gods are blind to.

Night Land is written like a survival horror videogame walkthrough. You follow a singular character on his trek through the demonic land, day to day (or I guess night to night, since the Sun died), the book even painstakingly has him find shelter and cook food before going to sleep.

Night Winds by Karl Edward Wagner. It's a S&S short story collection, but in the author's own words he wrote them to appeal to Horror fans foremost to try to get them interested in S&S. And Wagner was heavily influenced by classic Gothic Horror.

I thought it was okay. I thought the whole
>omg the lady is so evil we're so wicked working for the bad guys!
shit to be kind of cringe. I mean, they're mercenaries. Their jobs are to be a hired army. Working for bad guys is called Tuesday. And yet the Lady seemed pretty chill and benevolent for an evil overlord. I wouldn't mind her as a boss.
Bear in mind, I read this (I think the first three) like twenty years ago when I was in college, so maybe I'm forgetting stuff. Iirc the third book followed a side-character's (Raven?) crime adventures in a city.

Do be advised though that the whole book is stylised in pseudo-archaic prose (this is plot related since the protagonist is some sort of victorian era artistocrat whose soul travels millions of years into the grim future) so its full of sentences like "And then I did verily grabbed the foul monster with my strong masculine arms, and mightily crush'd the creature, destroying it utterly". It filtered tons of people, but apparently there's an adapted version in modern english, which I didn't read and can't vouch for.

Funny enough a new novel just dropped that is also set in The Night Land called Nightland Racer. I liked it, but the e-book is pretty poorly formatted. It doesn't ruin the story, but it gets annoying when entire paragraphs seem to be missing and there's a few continuity errors. Really needed a professional editor to clean it up.

My point is the Lady didn't come across as particuarly evil iirc. No more than any other warlord--the only difference being her higj magic. If anything she was pretty respectful towards them. Her "evil" was an informed attribute, and I don't know why it would be noteworthy to the Black Company.
I think she had an evil overlord husband who was worse then her. He was in statis or whatever. And the Lady got stripped of her magic, maybe?
