Rambler Recap: November 2024

Austin! I’m reading Lonesome Dove as well. I’m on chapter 15 or 16.

Missed the livestream, but I hope you guys pick up Mushroom Blues. I picked it up this summer and I loved it. It's one of my top reads of the year. I heard it from Bryce aka ShelfCentered. The world-building is stellar, the characters are deep and easily root for, the action is fast-paced, and the prose is easily accessible. Adrian is very talented and engages with fans on the regular. I hope you guys get the opportunity to read it.

Can't wait for the Howling Dark review !!! 😭🥳

Memories of Ice is absolutely class. Different gravy to GOTM

Era Two is Best!!!

How did you guys like Jade city?

I hereby decree there shall come a day when one of you has nothing else to do but read Let Them Whimper—and I will finally receive my first one-star review 🙏

Also I just joined your Patreon but have no idea how the fuck it works. All I know is that throwing you just ten bucks a month in exchange for the value you’ve provided me these past few years feels like a heist worthy of Locke Lamora.

Good! Im so glad Rich has been enjoying era 2! I loved it so much!

Lonesome dove review

Either Richard is confusing Liveship Traders and Rainwild Chronicles, or he's not looking for feedbacks in the right places because Realms of the Elderlings is one of the most beloved series out there and Liveship is considered by many as the best subseries and generally considered much better than just fine.

edit: I should have listened to the rest before commenting, haha. LIveship is excellent.

Always love a good rambler recap!! I am beyond excited to hear that Rich has been enjoying era 2, because I personally love that even more than era 1, heheh 🤌

Also heeeeck yes for Abercrombie and Fonda Lee, exciting stuff friends!! And hope you pick up Mushroom Blues, because that is one of my faves of the year and it's my team's finalist in the SPFBOX competition. Such a deliciously weird and powerful genreblender, I love it.

A lot of my November was spent lost in Roshar on my Stormlight re-read, and Oathbringer is still my firm favourite of the bunch. Can't wait for Wind and Truth though, I am counting down the days.

Safe travels and have fun at Dragonsteel!! 🤩🤩

Super happy you guys are getting to sun eater. I’m 3/4 through ashes of man and wow. I was thinking this series would slow down, or at least drop in quality for a book or maybe even half a book or something. These somehow keep getting better?? Every book has been 5/5 stars since the first and there hasn’t been a drop in quality, pacing, or anything else. AND I can already tell they will be even better upon re read. Can’t wait for disquiet gods and shadows upon time. This series will be a sci-fi classic mark my words

Controversial opinion , I think there is a very good chance shallan dies, which causes Adolin to do something cool. Maybe even die as result

I’m happy for the Sun Eater journey, boys. Sorry I couldn’t make this LIVE.

Rich will you be reading Fury of the Gods by papa Gwynne? I know you liked Bloodsworn 1 and 2

Liveship traders is part of Robin Hobbs Realm of The Elderlings series. The greatest fantasy series of all time. Guys guys guys please read it

Definitely excited you guys are reviewing Suneater. I actually quite liked the first book, the second book starts slow, but by the time I got through the end of book 6 it has become one of my favorite series ive ever read as a 20+ years long Sci-fi/Fantasy reader. Literally could not be looking forward more to book 7.

Looking forward to the spoiler reviews! Suneater has some truly epic moments.

Loved the video guys, hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

I love Richards "Fucks" they make me smile

Hey just thought i should remind you both about The PainGod and Other Delusions short story collections rec i gave you. Hopefully it doesn't get lost among all the comments and maybe that will Kickstart a sci-fi short story journey for you both as it's with great merit why that was the medium that propelled Sci-fi ij it's early phase and also why most of the sci-fi great authors have a good reputation there.
