Yea it does feel like shouting in the wind at this stage but I hope it all goes on record somewhere.
It’s ok now. A bit slow.
Same! Love Malazan but Rothfuss is just a poet sometimes.
It’s the perpetual waiting of a fantasy fan haha
The Name of the Wind is sublime. I think because it sounds so different to the usual grand, bombastic, bellicose fantasy kick off. It’s all silence. And a man working in a bar. And that last sentence. Oof.
It was night again. The Waystone Inn lay in silence, and it was a silence of three parts. The most obvious part was a hollow, echoing quiet, made by things that were lacking. If there had been a wind it would have sighed through the trees, set the inn’s sign creaking on its hooks, and brushed the silence down the road like trailing autumn leaves… The Waystone was his, just as the third silence was his. This was appropriate, as it was the greatest silence of the three, wrapping the others inside itself. It was deep and wide as autumn’s ending. It was heavy as a great river-smooth stone. It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die.

Yea M83 Soundtrack is gorgeous
Book 5 is my fave Malazan book! Once you have some time off after finishing the series, a re-read is so satisfying picking up all the clues you missed the first time around. Enjoy!
Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. It’s like stratified human civilisation / Roman Empire in Space. First book is very Hunger Games-y but the rest of the series is excellent.
Stynes posted screenshots to Instagram of the attacks she has received online. Much of it was anonymous, or pseudonymous, but other posts – including death threats, and violent, graphic abuse – were made under apparently genuine personal accounts.
Yikes. Hopefully the charges stick.
Omg you have no idea how happy that makes me :) thanks!
Is there anything planned to go in there after Myer has gone?
