Frank Herbert: Giant sandworms lol. /j
Frank Herbert is what happens when a genius writer takes too much shrooms while studying dunes. Like that is literally what happened.
I also like to kidnap my entire family in my used hearse then do a shitload of amphetamines in the Mexican desert immediately after completing a formal education in the newly developed science of ecology that ended with learning about the inevitability of man made climate change continuing to accelerate the greatest and final planetary mass extinction event, the holocene era
Yeah I feel that shit in my soul bro, for sure
Whomst amongst us hasn’t done a Herbert once or twice
Then you have the author of Twilight that started world building after the first book, created a number of characters with interesting background lore, then proceeded to do nothing with any of it.
It’s really hard to criticize anything about Twilight after you learn it was literally self published fan fiction written by a Mormon house wife with ten kids that has never once in her life even seen a healthy or fulfilling relationship from a distance, or had a meal containing any form of seasoning, and will almost certainly die without having ever experienced even an aliquot of sexual pleasure
Steven Erikson: here’s a world that contains millennia of anthropologically grounded cultures that got spiced up by some interdimensional elves, orcs, gods & dragons that me and my buddy use to play D&D in, have fun reading through the eyes of over 1000 characters lol
I’m struggling to think of anything lore wise in gambo thrones that wasn’t a real event in English history, or at the very least a popular belief / self worshipping mythology
Even as a high schooler I remember thinking a few hundred pages in, wait. Wait… is this the war of the fucking roses
I can never decide which is funnier to me, GRRM being a Disney screenwriter in their children’s animation division or the fact he abandoned the song of ice and fire entirely and now exclusively adds to an absolute trash universe he created about removed racist cajun vampires with alcoholism and gambling that makes Twilight look like Pride and Prejudice
Jorge Luis Borges: why write the book when you can write a review of the book like it exists already.
