Absolutely, especially with something as big as the Wheel of Time.

Finished Crossroads of Twilight! Overall, positive feelings. Next up, a stack of sci-fi and natural disaster/survival fiction, and I expect Knife of Dreams pretty soon. At this rate, I just might be able to finish the series by mid-September.

What Are You Watching?
Spren of Kindness replied to Silverblade5's topic in Entertainment Discussion
I've been liking it, especially the music in the last few episodes. It's been really nice to have media to discuss with my family that we all enjoy. -
Hwhelp, I'm gonna vanish for a few days. See y'all then!

Question About Current USA Trade Paperback Printing
Spren of Kindness replied to Andy92's topic in The Wheel of Time
I did a quick look, and my best guess is that it's embedded. Every edition had it, so they might be printing them with it from here on out. I know that that's what happened with Shadow and Bone's covers as well. It is a bummer, that's for sure. (On a more amusing note, I did Google this to see if that turned up anything more, and it autofilled my search to 'do the wheel of time covers have a middle ear infection'. -
"Yes," Martin says, nodding a little bit stiffly.

About to start Crossroads of Twilight! I've hit the double digits of WOT, which for some reason feels like an accomplishment.

What Are You Listening To Now?
Spren of Kindness replied to Chaos's topic in Entertainment Discussion
Thanks for the context! It's been quite some time since I read Mockingjay, so I couldn't remember the circumstances in the book either. -
Welcome to the Shard!

Why am I making this update? Number one, to say how much I appreciate Ted Nasmith and Alan Lee's art for The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion. Their work is incredible.
Second, there's a Russian rock opera based on events from the Silmarillion, and I need to share that. Finrod Zong It's an hour forty minutes long, and in Russian (duh), but it's great. You should check it out.
SpoilerIf anyone actually watches it, please tell me what you think.

Found a Russian rock opera about... either Beren and Luthien or Finrod. It's telling the Beren and Luthien story, but the title is 'Finrod'. It's actually pretty good. The costuming, especially for Galadriel, is quite nice. Edit: It is about Finrod. It's also excellent, and if you're a Silmarillion fan, you might get a kick out of this. -
Martin hugs back, closing his eyes.

"It's not mind control," Martin grumbles, "But you're right. He tries for a smile, and thinks he gets about three quarters of the way there.
-
Martin takes the sudden flare of hope that starts to form and shoves it into the back of his mind harshly. There are too many variables. "That would be..." How does he finish that? "Nice."
-
"Oh." He needs to pay more attention to what's going on.
-
"Organizing overthrowing a king?"
-
"We don't have the time to do that. Overthrowing a king, remember?" Martin kind of misses Earth. No magic. He could have dealt with this situation a long time ago if he had decent intel and orders.
-
"Yes to both. But the first isn't possible, and the second requires a lot of money, a neurosurgeon, and very specific equipment."
-
"I'm fine now. Other than that..." He shrugs, spreading his hands. "I'm not really in control of it. That's the whole point."
-
"I think so."
-
"Not really." There's time for discussion, but it's not now.
-
Martin hesitates for a moment. "Traveling. Through them."
-
"I was thinking about portals."

Hey, does anyone know of books that have the plot 'we crashed in the wilderness and we need to work together to survive'? Also post-apocalyptic fiction that's about people building a community together? If you do, I'd love to hear about 'em.
