Absolutely don't read the blurb for The Bonehunters (Malazan book 6). I did that, would not recommend

More a mini-series, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell is pretty good

In regards to how good it is, I love the series and consider all the money I've spent (more than 150 overall) to be worth it.

It's not for everyone, so check out the first book or two see how you feel. The first book is usually considered the weakest, but every book is some fans' fave

If you don't mind mass market paperbacks, those might be a milder cheaper option (prolly closer to $100-$120). The comment about Humble Bundle's good, just no telling when it'll pop up again. So maybe just accumulate one book at a time until it pops up again.

Pretty sureSilchas ends up with two swords (the 'singing' ones) at the end of MT, so definitely points there. Can't recall Iron Bars' weaponry

Recently finished House of Open Wounds by Adrian Tchaikovsky. First book in a while where I had to read the last 100 or so pages in one sitting cz the built momentum was that good!

It's good enough for the MAGA base, the army will just 'follow orders', and the GOP and conservative judges will never work to hold Trump accountable.

I think the Trump admin is comfortable acting autocratically

Dang. I gotta give these books another look-see

Love the series! It does have some density to it, but the difficulty can be over-exaggerated. Lots of pov's though

Sounds like 'strong opportunity/base for profit that is astronomically huge' in douchey stock bro speak

Kinda got Old Gregg vibes

I had to check the replies cz, surely that isn't the same thing I'm thinking of

You liking it so far's a good sign. A lotta people bounce off the first book.

I love the series myself

Had a friend go on about people about how it was dehumanizing to call the right nazis.

As a queer guy, I found this frustratingly ironic.

Good luck, godspeed, hope this one lands better for ya

Well, there's maybe the one narrator, but they're not entirely put together

Reported an account doing the same thing with the n-word, and got no response.

Left Twitter not too long after

Not sure what it was for me, maybe just atmosphere. Even the set-up of the flashback (story told by this person, who heard it from this, who heard from...) really set a Lovecraftian vibe for me
