Heck! Thats a lot of investment for no return …

I wonder how they are spending half a billion dollars?

I for one welcome the new piracy arms race, every time someone tries to stop piracy, piracy gets easier and more efficient.

I dunno, newts seem pretty cool, like little wingless water dragons. Couldn’t she maybe turn him into an intestinal worm or something?

Being friends with Tom Hardy seems like the worst bit. Who the hell wants to be friends with some preppy english toff?

This guy looks like he’d struggle to control a fidget spinner …

“The other guy is doing it” isn’t a justification for committing war crimes. You are also considered a war criminal regardless.

Bombing a building filled with civilians just because some arsehole who help do (or did) a terrible thing is hiding in there certainly sounds like collective punishment …

Oh also the Demon Cycle series by Peter V Brett was a fun romp. I like the way the author built a pretty unique world with a lot of different aspects to it. He did a good job of switching the point of view across characters to challenge perspective.

I don’t really agree with this pitch. Each of the two books tell a great story that could be argued to be complete in its individual telling. Yes there is an over arching story that ties their telling together and remains incomplete but that doesn’t matter given the the told tale in each is complete. I’ve read through each multiple times and will read them again regardless of whether or not the third is completed.

I know he said specifically no heavy politics, but Thomas covenant is pretty heavy and dark. The tale is good, it can be hard reading in parts though given the protagonist. If you like the exploration of the antihero, the gap series by Stephen Donaldson is pretty solid too.

You say fantasy, but while technically sci fi, I’d like to suggest the galactic milieu series by Julian May. It starts out sci fi and I guess constantly has sci fi elements but leans pretty heavily into bridging the gap to fantasy (elves, dwarves, shapeshifting monsters, magic etc)
