What do you mean the framing? I started it late last night and read the first few chapters before bed. This Yves Menard character had this longwinded preface to the book that explains the main character is a teen isekai'ed into a fantasy setting, which sounds cute for a western fantasy.

Something I've noticed is that the author (narrator) assumes things he doesn't tell the reader until later. For example, Parka accuses Able of eating the fruit of the Spiny Orange tree (which is the result of obtaining the seeds) which Able himself did not record himself as doing in the earlier part of the epistle when he tried to explain how he got sucked into the fairy world by the Mossmen. Then at Scaur and Sha's house, a grandfather starts speaking that wasn't mentioned inhabiting the house earlier. And right after, Able tells his story that he planted a seed at Bluestone Castle's courtyard before drinking the water, even though when he described that scene earlier he made no mention of the Spiny Orange seeds.
Is this a common feature of Wolfe's writing that I have to watch out for?

I've been reading pic related after coming out of a reading dry-spell. It's the very first Stephen King book I've read, bought on a whim at a dollar store. 162 pages in, it's pretty good. Not "oh my god" good, but it's sucked me in and got me invested, which is something that rarely happens.
I seem to recall that a lot of you guys don't really like Stephen King very much. I remember reading tons of posts ridiculing his prose and denigrating him personally.
As I have said above, I haven't really read anything from him before this, so I'm curious - is it just another case of /lit/ snobbery, or are a lot of his books actually shit and this is just an exceptional case that I happened upon by chance?

A lot of LotR is about the hobbitses, my precious. All their small families and lineages, the Boffinses, Bolgers, Bungos and Bracegirdles of the world. They do play a key part at the end of the books with the Scouring which I feel is Tolkien at his most sincere and down to earth, and the fact that Jackson cut the Scouring from the films is a huge disservice to Tolkien’s vision.

Its based on medieval history probably celtic influences. Really well done fantasy, great worldbuilding and amazing characters that you really get into. The first book begins slowly so you get a feel on the lore and characters but around 60% it gets hot.

There’s a novella, some short stories, and a handful of ephemera. The novella stands alone as its own work, the Children of Húrin. Desu it is a powerful story, very tragic. The other stories are fascinating if you’re interested in more about Númenór, the White Council, and other stuff.

Tolkien’s work was lifelong and ever-evolving. It spanned many decades, but he was always polishing and refining everything. That’s why I nerd out so much about his “lost” work. Christopher did an amazing job of taking care of his father’s legacy in a way that others *ahem*Brian Herbert*cough* could not.

I looked up the family tree and didn't see any support for him being a lord. I took the time because I had the vague recollection that Legolas's title had been pointed out in the books while Gimli's wasn't. Obviously his station in his society was far above Sam's in his, but I don't think he had an official title.

Meanwhile, another relative did a ton of early D&D and Magic The Gathering art and can charge $8,000 for a black and white sketch.

Sort of the same with movies. I strangely had three friends who went that route. One worked in production and was terribly underpaid even after a multi-year "internship" to get in, because everyone wants to do that. Another was a gaffer, and was decently paid because it was a union but was always out of work, and then one got lucky in graphic design and started doing sets and made stupid amounts of money.

The entire point of second part was that he might have outplayed bunch of mediaval tards craving for religious guidance and mastered some cool magic powers that are still puny next to Tekne, but he's neither omniscient nor infallible. For fucks sake he technically died to narindar twice because gods tampered with his perception and survived only because someone else has tampered with gods. Also was having one of the assassins next to himself for a long time because of having ultimate trust into his ability of read faces to the point when he disregarded his common sense (how can kid whose city you sacked and whose father you slaughtered with blasphemous magic suddenly become super devoted to you over a single day?)
He did not execute kelmomas right away because he didn't want to disappoint his hoe (who hates him). There was some introspection in one of last books when he admitted that he struggles a lot with necessity to have his "family" die as a result of his plan. After 20 years of being immersed in the world instead of sitting in fortress and autistically flipping coins all day he lost some of his dunyain conditioning and become more human and therefore more fallible.
Some people say it was definitely intentional when he died, but if so, that was desperate bullshit bet on coin flip similar to letting to hang himself upside down and not coldly calculated plan - there are too many unknown critically important variables to plan anything, for example if those tards would put Chorae back into sarcophagus or not, which creates drastically different predictions of how long Mog will live.

[Anonymous No.19545831]

>>19545792
This. There is circumstantial evidence that he planned to lose, like why else did he bring his son, why did he bank on his family dying, etc. but these all have other potential answers.

But that makes the whole Ordeal pointless. He could have just brought his son there at any point, easily.

However, I also agree 100% that he isn't dead. He is in a head or something. Why? Because Mymara is going all White Luck warrior on his hologram later. The Gods are still trying to kill him. If he is on the Outside, they already have him. Same with Ajokli searching for him at the end.

But that also means all these ideas about how he wanted to go to the Outside are dumb. He isn't there. Maybe he can go there from his head, IDK. He definitely didn't die on purpose so he could be dead though.

First off, you have to be an EFL. Otherwise forget it. You will literally not be able to make it in the "sff" market, especially in the case of fantasy.

I think the hard parts aren't what you'd expect. If you're gmi at all, writing the book is the easy part. So go ahead and do that, anyways. Next you edit the book, which is hard, but it's hard in every genre. Now, you go hunt down dozens to hundreds of email addresses of agents accepting submissions, write a specifically-formatted query letter pandering to each, and hope one of them likes it enough to want to skim more than the first chapter of it. Then, if you make it that far, she (nearly every agent is a woman, mind) will tell you that you need to figure out how to change something. So you must then find a way to work your original story around the whims of a woman who doesn't write while still maintaining quality, vision, and intent.

My advice: be prepared to be asked to add or expand on a romantic interaction. Leave yourself some places to do that.

[Anonymous No.19546810]

>>19546734
Iconoclast is a Greek word meaning literally "image breaker", deriving from sects of Christian (and later Muslim, and even later Protestant) radicals who saw the act of creating images of anything in God's creation an act of the utmost blasphemy and proceeded to destroy any and all works of art, secular or religious, in the cities they took root in.
In modern figurative terms, it's used to refer to any person who goes against the grain, somebody in the counterculture. However, the commodification and adoption of the left-wing counterculture ethos by the establishment makes any self-proclaimed progressive calling him or herself an "iconoclast" an example of Big Brother-tier doublethink and delusion.

Yeah this really annoyed me a lot and the fact that Sapowski's method of getting Geralt out of Toussaint is to just coincidentally overhear where to go next, which felt like a bit of an asspull moment to me. Getting more of Geralt and the Hansa on their travels would have been good too. although I think some of the political and other plots wrapped up too quickly, I did think the ending with Yen and Geralt finally together while Ciri goes to Camelot was a good ending for the series since they finally break the cycle

As someone who has never played the games and watched the show after I have to say I enjoy them a lot. The appeal is Slavic Myth meets modern epic fantasy with a dose of Slavic Cynicism. I haven't read Season of Storms since to my understanding it was done to capitalize on the games and I really felt the ending of Lady of the Lake wrapped things up (Thus why I haven't gotten into the games).

As for the show it's not a bad adaptation but it tells the story in a strange order that takes away from certain stories. The big one I remember being the revelation that Yen was a Hunchback in the Last Wish. I'm most worried that when they get to Lady of the Lake they'll ruin the big twist with the Emperor. It's more faithful than adaptations of Lord of the Rings or A Song of Ice and Fire have been so if you liked those you'll probably like the show too.

I never read the books, but you can easily tell the the first season's was incredibly rushed from a story perspective. There is almost no character development aside from Geralt and Ciri. The show felt very exoteric and lacked chemistry between characters. And it wasn't entirely a casting problem too, but the dialogue felt dumb at times.

[Anonymous No.19552279]

>>19552245
I can't hold the show too accountable since Sword of Destiny is a very strange book. Most of the major plot that occurs in it involves a lot of HEAVY drug use and Geralt is hallucinating through most of it. A major chunk of those hallucinations are psychic conversations and things that straight up never happened that would have been really hard to show weren't real events. Geralt goes from a distant uncle character to Ciri in the Dryad forest to a protective adopted father during these illusions. It's very metaphysical and was probably just too much to do on a TV budget. Thankfully the heart of their bond is built in Blood of Elves which is a lot less weird and trippy. There's a big reason Sword of Destiny was the final book to get published in English and it's how weird those sections are.

>The show felt very exoteric and lacked chemistry between characters
Not to mention that they completely removed the fact that geralt and dandelion have been friends for a long time. Why change that? Whats the point?
Why did Tissaia turn the apprentices into eels and order Yennefer to push them into that pond?
Fringilla is now black? Why force diversity here, especially when we know that she is Anarietta's cousin and the fact that she looks a bit like Yen.
What the fuck is Istredd doing in Aretuza?

No, The Last Wish and BoE were translated first by Danusia Stock followed by BoF translated by French. It is only then that SoD was published followed by TotS and LotL. It wasn't published the last but it wasn't published chronologically either.

Not in English. The English publication order was: 1, 3, 4, 5, 2, 7, 8. These books were not possible to read properly in English until 2017 despite having been written in the 90s. I'm honestly shocked the games got popular in the West considering they are a sequel that does not explain major story details because you are meant to read the books first and then play the games.

Like I said, I never touched the book or the video games, but that entire sequence of the Bard showing up out of nowhere and following around felt terrible overall.

I think that the Cintra/Nefl-watever battle was completely unnecessary to show and they could have saved a lot of budget there.

[Anonymous No.19552397]

>>19552338
the show really was quite bad, like the whole point is that Geralt initially doesn't really want Ciri even if he did claim her at birth but because they are bound by destiny they keep running into each other like in Brokilon (what the fuck happened to the bow wielding dryads in the show who don't like visitors?) all to culminate in the news Geralt gets about the fall of Cintra and Ciri's 'death'. And then finally meeting the merchant's family with the thing he was not expecting at home to be literally Ciri which is when Geralt finally accepts that he really has to take care of Ciri now which was a pretty powerful moment in the book. The show utterly failed to do anything meaningful

I didn't like this one, granted I've only read it once. The problem to me is that the protag is a dull and thick character and his first person narration that comes with such a character just wasn't interesting.

I don't think he even knew it was a bomb or anything, he just found himself baited into a trap of the consult's design with some sort of tekne thing that counted down and drew the conclusion that it's probably something immensely destructive. It was originally buried some distance underground, so it would have had to be to affect him above ground.

The show destroyed any ambition he had. Nothing he writes now will be even remotely original unless he scraps everything. Which is a no-no considering he had the ending planned for years.

well I can see Bran being the king in the ending if its more along the lines of Bran being like God Emperor Leto as in being this eternal inhuman being (i.e. he's permanently bound to the tree or part of it) but the show already really deviated from the books starting from Season 5 or so when they decided not to adapt Feast and Dance and so cut out fake Aegon, Arianne and Dorne, the magic madman Euron, Sam's horn, , Harry the Heir, Lady Stonehear, etc that it's hard to say they tell the same story.

I let a stranger on an alt tech website (worldtruth.online) read it.
Below is her review

Heres my obligatory review
Pretty solid plot that grabs interest and pulls you comfortably along throughout the story without getting you lost in spite of alot of activity and character movements.
Very good character development with consistency of personality throughout making them genuine and effective without predictability.
Graphic and very intense sequences not for a delicate reader
Outside of my usual genre but highly enjoyable I all but read straight through it because it was well written and had a solid plot direction.
Shifts between characters to give the reader multiple perspectives and deeper understanding was a very good way to keep the reader fascinated and not confused by some sudden direction changes. Also made a great way to provide backstory without obscure flashbacks.
10/10 overall nice work and very vivid reading experience for its genre.
Thanks for the recommendation

GRRM is a leftist and every book he writes from now on will be woke and intended for women. He's tainted. If you have a pair of nuts and enjoy winds of winter when and if it is published, you are clearly a beta man. If you are anticipating this book, you are a beta man. George has always been a sniveling limp wristed fat lazy draft dodger, but now he feels emboldened by years of sipping at wine parties with powerful democrats. He's so fat and overindulged in his gluttonous lifestyle going to pizza parties, he will never return to any talent he pretended to have in his incoherent schlock. Success ruined this fat fuck, he will die from heart disease before he finishes ASOIAF fan's precious, really poorly written and unoriginal fantasy books targeted for young adult aids patients.
