      @jerkules loved Nova Swing, but haven't read that trilogy you mention. Thanks for the tip man.

          @flannel-slut they're my favourite books of all time. I've bought so many copies of TNotW as gifts over the years..

          Most recently I listed to the Audio books on Audible, the voice acting was amazing and certain parts had subtle musical backdrops which really added to the immersion.

          Beautiful is the best way I'd describe them too. Since learning about Rothuss' distain for the Kvoth character, I've reread with a more analytical eye, trying to understand why he feels that way, but I just can't...

          The naive yet beautifully poetic passages around his feelings for Denna are just perfect. They capture exactly how somebody of his intelligence, wit and artistic prowess would see things, but clearly lack emotional intelligence, and a wisdom that can only be acquired by life experience, because at the end of the day, he's still a child.

          “𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

            @T4920 ha! I gifted TNotW one of my good friends about 10, 15 years or so ago. Back when I was young and impressionable and believed authors to be good people who would never create such enjoyable works of art, earn legions can of fans and then abandon them 😭 (that goes for you too GRR Martin cough)

            My apologies on the early morning rant!

              @flannel-slut I just knocked out 50 pages of The Name of the Wind — really killer so far, and I know I’m just getting started. Looking forward to getting into this one.
