  • Absolutely agreed about TGR’s amazing talent! He colored - no pun intended - the Red Rising books in such an immersive way, that I can’t imagine the characters and atmosphere as anything other than what his vocal descriptions provided.

    And I’m not 100% certain, but I think he mentioned on one of the Red Rising podcasts that the last book should come within a few months of this one, because they were meant to be one final book, but the length didn’t allow his original plans. I certainly hope that’s true!


  • I finished The Expanse awhile back and that was also fantastic!

    A bit of personal advice for TWOT - the first time reading can be considered slow by some, but the opening acts are some of my favorites of all fantasy novels that I’ve read. There’s a certain charm that’s reminiscent of Tolkien, and has a certain depiction that’s speaks to me. But maybe it requires a second reading to really appreciate it.

    Either way, happy reading!


  • Currently on chapter 85 of Pierce Brown’s Light Bringer, the latest installment of the Red Rising series! Granted, I’m listening to the audiobook, but audiobooks are still books. And man, like the rest of the series, I can’t put this shit down!

    After this? Not sure yet. Still waiting on Sanderson’s next book in his Stormlight Archive series. Maybe I’ll re-listen to The Wheel of Time again while the final books of these two series wrap up.

    I started off with Kbin, and it was great because it was initially more straightforward with a more sensible UI. But since they didn’t release an API quickly enough, apps like Voyager came in, so I’ve switched to Lemmy.

    It also looks like the UI/UX hasn’t changed much when I logged into Kbin, so it feels significantly more stagnant. And once Sync for Lemmy hits the Play Store, I’m probably going to stick with it.
