whattheHoid she/her Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Is it by a Chris Wooding? I have put in my cart! Thanks for the recommend!!
Ammanas Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Yes by Chris Wooding. His Braided Path trilogy is also good with a Asian inspired setting, but is far, far darker. I found the Ember Blade to be more fun. 1
whattheHoid she/her Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Ooh! I'm excited! More books to read in between Stormlight books! yeah! 1

You'll be the first person who has read it on my recommendation. Gladly! I think I'll need another week or two to finish it though. Depends on work and how much time I need for WoT. I bought it directly after you mentioned it, but then got distracted by some other books and only started two weeks ago. So far I really enjoy it. Good, classical fantasy with an interesting setting and well developped characters - exactly what I like. 1
whattheHoid she/her Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Oh boy, I am super stoked to read this book! 1

Ammanas Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) @Sorana If you are looking for that sort of book you might like Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow, Thorn series or his Shadowmarch series. His series are all really slow. I imagine the beginning third of the Dragonbones Chair has turned away countless readers but he builds momentum. I think it takes a certain type of reader to enjoy his books. The joy is his great prose,watching him explore his world, and his characters grow. I also love how he finishes series. He does a great job making it bittersweet and they really stick with me. Edit: Just realized I derailed this thread. Apologies to the original poster Edited January 19, 2019 by Ammanas

I forgive you. Besides, I always welcome new book recommendations. I was going to start Brent Week's Night Angel trilogy last night, but then I got distracted when I saw Season 2 of the Punisher came out on Netflix, so I'm starting it today. But I'll add your books to my list as well. 1
whattheHoid she/her Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Oh after the Witcher series, I'm reading the 5th season first, as I have to follow my reading queue otherwise, my brain gets confused. P.s. how was season 2 of the Punisher? Edited January 19, 2019 by whattheHoid
+ILuvHats he/him Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) I haven't finished it yet, but so far so good. The fight scene at the end of the first episode was SO good. The new villain doesn't seem quite as compelling or despicable (but in a good way) as Rawlins, but he's still decent. And I'm really intrigued by how Jigsaw is going to turn out.

Ammanas Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Technically we will get the last Lightbringer book this year. Late August I believe and the author just posted a video this month saying he's on track for that and is currently in the editing stages. He also said the book is enormous! By the sound of it him talking like it'll be as long as Oathbringer; although he hasn't mentioned specific word or page counts yet.

Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called theThird Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past a wind rose in the Bookshelves Of WoT. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel Of Time. But it was a beginning. discussion for chapters 1-17 open!
old man moomba he/him Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 *quickly rereads chapters 1-17*
whattheHoid she/her Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 *quickly finishes last couple chapters* Will post my thoughts around the afternoon, gotta wait till my kid takes her nap, or attempts too at least, cause than I'll be strong armed into playing Mario Odyssey.
+Sorana she/her Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Before we start discussing the books: Should we move the topic to the WoT part of the forum? Or at least change the title to indicate spoilers? Because the general discussion should be spoiler free and while I think lots of people have read the books, there are always those that haven't...
whattheHoid she/her Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 At the very least, we should put something in the title to indicate spoilers. Help, Ofelia has put the same Vivaldi song on repeat. Am slowly melting into violin.

whattheHoid she/her Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 @Sorana so we are listening to Vivaldi's Ring of Mystery. It is a short story with music by Vivaldi. It tells of an orphaned girl, Katarina who goes to Venice and enters the school of the Pieta and meets Don Antonio. A Stradivarius violin is involved and Katarina and Giovanni solve a mystery during Carnival season in Venice. Ofelia has been wanting to hear Vivaldi's Farnace over, over, over, and over again. This group that does this have other ones like Tchiakovsky goes to America, Mr. Bach comes to call, Mozart's Magic Flute, etc.
+Sorana she/her Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 @whattheHoid I actually know that one!! It has so beautiful parts. Though I'm not sure if I would like to listen to it over and over again...
+Ark1002 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Ah. I'd love to participate, but I'm on book seven.
+Doomstick he/him Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 @Ark1002 we are just after they left baerlon
