evilford Yeah dude, great band I dig em a lot too. Super surprised you havent heard them yet, based on what I know of your taste. Glad you enjoy em! June 17 02:12 AM
Winsomniac Dang wtf I saw you post an END track on r/metalcore and now ur post wall has Xeno talking about epic fantasy! (For the record, I highly recommend Malazan Book of the Fallen, most wacky, out-there insane but fascinating characters I've ever read) June 3 08:44 AM
Xenophanes It's certainly more fun, I will say. I feel like I can relax and enjoy it as pure pulp indulgence which is interestingly something I have never been able to do with the genre (LotR and The Stormlight Archive are the only fantasy series I have read) so it's been a nice change of pace. But again, it's much more saccharine and will hopefully darken up, if only slightly. April 19 12:19 PM
Xenophanes Awesome, thanks for giving me deeper responses than I was expecting lol. I read Malazan 1-3 in like 2 weeks so I stopped to read Eye of the World for a little breather. After all it was oppressive stuffing all of that into such a short amount of time. WoT, 75% through book 1 is fun, but it is a little tropey. I knew that going in, but even with that knowledge I find it a bit toothless. It's a lot more wholesome than I was expecting. Maybe because Malazan was so much the opposite? April 19 12:17 PM
Xenophanes Yo is Malazan and/or The Wheel of Time worth finishing? Saw you comment about both. On book 4 of Malazan and book 2 of the Wheel of a time and still have so much left. April 19 12:18 AM
