[quote]I'm finishing up cradle book 9 [/quote] That series is like crack for me, I love Wight. And yeah, it's like a kickass fantasy anime hybrid, but so well done, awesome and hilarious, particularly after Dross gets added as a character....

[quote]and the nonsensical romantic cliche choice pretty much dooms it for me[/quote] I actually can easily understand just not digging the urban fantasy long term, he just has really improved as a writer over time, so was weird to me to hear someone say they got worse as they went along. Can'...

[quote]this may be weird, but it is no way surprising.[/quote] My surprise was more due to him not having Karsa front and center more due to his last book being a huge flop and his publisher not letting him finish that series (and forcing him to start the Karsa series instead). Not including Kars...

[quote]I followed along through like 10-11 books but thought the series was dropping significantly whether due to[/quote] Kinda crazy to me, the series hits it's stride in a big way starting with book 10, particularly in terms of ramping up the overall plot. Outside of Ghost Story and Peace Talks...

[quote]his novels have a driving narrative flow or are they all single volume stories before hopping to the next, different story?[/quote] One of them is kinda a separate novel on it's own that involves ally of the former bridge burners like spindle, picker, and some other Malazan characters (orb...

[quote]am reading book 1 of Spellslinger and I like it a lot. I hope it doesn't suffer the same fate. [/quote] It doesn't really suffer the same way. While I liked the greatcoat series start to finish, it definitely becomes more grim and has less of the wonderful humor as the series goes on. ...

Fantastic series. His Spellslinger series is great as well....

[quote]about Karsa but Karsa is not in book 1)[/quote] Hmm, weird choice. Hopefully he gets it back together with this series, his last Malazan book (second book of the tiste andii prequel series) was straight garbage. One of the few books I've quit on half way through it was so bad (so bad his p...

[quote]think it's an interesting concept, but couldn't stand the book. I quit less than halfway[/quote] I didn't hate the books, just thought they were average (I read the first three). I loved the concept, but really didn't like the constant switching of characters and POVs/timelines. I also ...

[quote]This ad supported shite is really annoying. Seems like a scheme where they just made the normal product at the same price include ads and it is just an excuse to jack the price up on the no-ad version.[/quote] I mean, the ads are barely there on a Kindle. You only see a suggested authors bo...

Yeah, the Expanse series is better, I'd definitely read that one first. Particularly since they will be finishing it up with the last book this year. ...

[quote]Anybody read The Expanse author's Dagger and Coin fantasy books?[/quote] It's a pretty good series. Abraham is a solid author....

[quote]And for the record, Sanderson’s three books are superior to Winters Heart, Path of Daggers, and Crossroads of Twilight.[/quote] While I agree with you 100% here, a random 2 year old's scribbles would probably be more interesting than Crossroads of Twilight....

[quote]In n outs in California, southern California specifically, are better than others way out here IMO[/quote] This is the truth, though they are decent in AZ. It's kinda like how Whataburger is good in in the Texas area but completely sucks arse most other places in my experience. But as yo...

[quote]Also going to work in the Esslemont books on my Malazan reread[/quote] The path to ascendancy prequel trilogy is Esslemonts best work IMO and is a nice lead into the series, since it tells the backstory of Dancer and Kellanved prior to the series starting....

[quote]I've been in AA's corner most of the time but man he fricked this offseason up so bad.[/quote] Signing Smith was a terrible and weird move at the time and it's straight up horrific now. Could have 3-4 solid relievers for what we are paying him....

It's very good. Not quite as good as the first series overall, but close. Apparently he just had the first book of a new series come out as well. ...

[quote]Possible answer to the question "What was Dan Aykroyd's last good movie?"[/quote] Sneakers is a great flick, and the cast is fantastic all around. But it's most definitely not even close to the last good movie he was in. Grosse Point Blank, Tommy Boy, and 50 First Dates were all after it....

[quote]but "A Canticle for Liebowitz" is a classic.[/quote] Agreed, it is a very good book that belongs in the classic scifi fantasy mold....
