Briar King

Bigger balls then me that’s for sure.

Don’t take to long a break so info doesn’t begin to slip from memory. Nimue is dope.

I refuse to read any other Weber. I can’t put myself through it no matter how fun I hear other series are as well. Safehold is very fun when it’s going. I haven’t even broke pg 300 yet. That Delthak was followed up by more random jibber jabber for pages only to land right back on another Delthak. UGHHHHHHH! Though I do have my speculation glasses on on something I’ve suspected since early in the series. If there something is mentioned again then I will have been wrong all this time but I don’t think I am. im not reading the reviews but it’s still holding at 3 stars with 85 so far. This doesn’t make me feel super confident im going to get my popcorn this time. This is the worst “start” of any of the 10 out for me

Omg. Just when things were actually happening boom(I mean I knew it was coming eventually) there was a Delthak break. I couldn’t even get through it last night. I only just now finished it and I have been chipping away at it all day I swear. Lol and all 11 pages made me want to cry.

It’s supposed to be for the genie reason yeah but he’s way to close to his side this far along now. RAFO and RAFO. It was really fun to speculate that the Arch’s HAD to still pose a threat before the info hit story. Also not 10 minutes after my ed last night some interesting stuff happened finally!

200 pgs in. Yawnnnnnnn!!! This is without a doubt the worst of the lot at my current place vs the others. Weber’s need to say every rusting characters FULL name is driving me insane. I don’t care or need all that info on a 1-2 pg character! My goodness man! How meek his editor is... ed: jeez nor do I need a characters full name within the same dang segment!! I KNOW WHO IT IS IM READING IN THAT BIT!! Just got it twice within like 3 paragraphs of each other! i find myself fundamentally opposed(spoiler here so click at your own risk...) at this stage of

Norman went out like a boss but you could see his “return” coming from a mile away since Merlin The surprising thing was the actual way he came back. I was expecting a Im definitely slowing down on my progress though due to this bloat. 168 pgs in and this has been the sloggiest opening since I began to have problems back on book 6. This one has some legit smh emo garbage over the past 30 pgs. I’ve also been looking at the rating each day on Amazon and it’s been steady at 3 stars vs the usual 4 of the other books. I’m thinking this is going to take me quite awhile to chip away at this 800+ pg brick. NOTHING is happening really.

Bk 6 is when the stuff really began to bother me yeah especially with Delthak chapters. id say it’s a little more then normal bks 6-9 though so far. Practically 130 pgs of 2 to 10+ standing or sitting talking about events around the world. It’s a bit much. i want my popcorn already

Have hit the 100 pg mark and my hopes of him having gotten an editor are crushed. Ugh I envy your 1.6 speed... so much bloat/sitting around tables from all over the various spots just talking. Maybe 15% action so far and it’s only been table setting for this stage of the story. So far veryyyy boring to me. Really going to have to pick up or I ll get very bogged down on my progress. That said it’s been very nice to get back to the main group with the

Dust of Dreams and Safehold 10.

It’s totally worth watching. It’s 9 30 minutes eps so not really time consuming to do. Very interesting world they set up that could very well be even larger in scope then Avatar if Netflix lets them run with it.

Hardcover

Huh there was already a pretty dumb mistake on the 1st pg I don’t see how made it’s way past editing. I will tag it even though it’s not a story spoiler but a time issue from bk 9 to 10.

Bought Safehold 10 and the huge NK Jemisin Inheritance trilogy Omni today.

Starting now! holy crap this is a through and even more detailed summary of events then was in 1-9 regularly imo. Maybe because it’s been over a year since I finished though but dang it’s cool to read this. no worries I ll tag anything I post once I actually get to starting. This thing has been pretty long though.

Where JJ shines is on tv. I’ve not been to thrilled with any of his movies. I think it’s guaranteed he/they will play it safe with 9 and I also think he will undo some of the things Rian did. I’m not thrilled to have him back. Didn’t have the best reaction to TFA when I was watching it in theater for the 1st time.

The rate your tearing through this I know you ll pass me up before I finish 10 so I ll probably get to a point where I’m absent in thread till I finish. Been quite awhile since I finished that 1-9 power read so my excitement is coming back so maybe I ll be much faster then I anticipate. I’m kinda hoping he includes a summary of 1-9 in 10 but doubtful he does. Such a large world/cast I’ve forgotten a lot of the players so I ll probably try and find a summary to read before I start and hope I don’t see any 10 spoilers in it. Ugh that will piss me off.

Yep bk 5 got into some dark juicy stuff. It was probably my fav next to bk 1. Your getting much more into the land stuff now. Personally I enjoyed the naval stuff over the land stuff.

Oh rust... I forgot how utterly fantastic the Deck reading in DoD was... Shame I ll be pausing most of my Malazan progress when I grab Safehold 10 tomorrow(I think it’s out then) but I ll still be reading a bit each day.

Onrack can you possibly depress me any more then you did for 3 straight pages? goodness.

I ll answer the biggest question. That hasn’t happened yet in Return. That’s still in its future. Return takes place between Reapers Gale(7) and Toll the Hounds(8).

Definitely a fist pump moment. You are fixing to get into some good stuff. Harrison rafo not surprising on that big of time coverage. I suspect we are going to get way beyond that to get to Gababa conflict.

Very surprised we didn’t get a teaser honestly. Past formula is the only reason I made the thread a yr out from release.

Finished off SW just 22 minutes before the end of 18’ so I was able to add it to completion list. 21 total which is 1 more then I got for 17’(can thank Broken Earth for this causing me to speed read ha atleast speed reading BK speed anyway) i really liked SW though some of the ending stuff was confusing. Ivanr just bored me for half the book to ending. That’s probably my only complaint. Solid book. picked up DoD right after I sat it back on the shelf.

I loved it so much and I want
