It's taking this long because i keep rereading/listening to large sections multiple times as soon as i've finished them.
I'm taking my time for similar reasons, but also cause I'm re-reading Dresden at the same time and alternating, but yeah it's SO much fun!
Even the mild banter "I should have quit after Byzantium" "You always say that" or "The Kingdom of Naples is right out, obviously" "Obviously" both getting repeated as just rote blank banter between the group...it makes everything feel so lived in. I'm going to be sad when I'm done with this one.
Just Finished... i am blown away and devastated in equal parts. More once i relisten to the last few chapters.
How well do you two think this will adapt to the big screen? I ask because... Reasons.

JA has i think even stated he wrote this w Hollywood in mind. It's absolutely a story that would work for film. The storyline is straightforward - heroes who are monstrs must get princess to throne, kill baddies - and any of the many, glorious action scenes could easily be cut/revised/skipped without damaging the end product. -

Honestly, the visual of trucks stopping, false cargo tops pulling back, and hundreds of AI drones rising up into the air and dropping on Russian airbases... it's pretty wild. -

...it's like Hellboy meets the Suicide Squad meets every historical mystery you've ever heard....
SOLD
...i mean, i already pre-ordered it and have it waiting for me and will probably start it later today, but even so, SOLD.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I am.
Now I'm conflicted because i have THE DEVILS in hand, but elsethread reminded me that THE MALEVOLENT EIGHT drops in two days... and i'm not going to read them back-to-back, too grimdark edgy similar, so i have to make a difficult first world dilemma choice bcs i really enjoyed Malevolent Seven but people are raving about Devils but but but... see this is why duplicate/independent brain pattern nodes were invented.
THE DEVILS take the win due to proximity and impatience, about an hr in at the first big action sequence and yeah, QT, you weren't remotely kidding, this is great fun fantasy lit, i am so in.
End of Part II.... this is THE GREATEST FANTASY BOOK EVER.

Along w my eventual NIGHTWING read i may include some Cass and Steph runs, the characters have really grown on me in WAYNE FAM ADVENTURES.
DC really does just suck at the crossover thing don't they?...
so i jumped right over the crossover and back to the ongoing which was the right move because the 'Battle for the Heart of Bludhaven' story was EXACTLY the comics i was looking for... Nightwing trying to save 'everybody', getting backup from Superman jr, the Titans, and the batfam, rallying the community against the Big Bad, multiple great fights / action sequences, and Bitewing, the greatest superhero pet in the history of comics.
