Having caught up with Glynn Stewart releases after finishing Wildbow’s Ward, I decided to go for some famous books I never read.
First was Gene Wolfe’s The Shadow of the Torturer. After about 1/4th of the book, I didn’t care about anything. Neither the world nor the main character. Decided to stop there, it seems it’s not for me.
Next up, Ursula K. Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea Again, I stopped after 25%. This time the story was interesting enough, but I couldn’t stand her writing style, everything was written as if it was a prologue and the actual story is starting anytime now. That just got real annoying when it’s the main story.
Finally, I jumped many years forward (both regarding the release, and the setting), and started Pierce Brown’s Red Rising which I’m enjoying very much so far.
