The level of lionization and praise for Kirk is pretty wild. I suspect it's just zeitgeist/socmed reaction right now and won't last much past the funeral, but wow!
Also drawing attention far off in the distance, a transgender writer whose DC comic issue 1 had just been released was fired and the run cancelled because they made a social media along the lines of 'hope the bullet is ok'. -

This series is not for everyone, but I really liked it a lot.
this one's been at the edge of my attention for a while, i like the concept the blurb sells but don't know the author at all.
did the rest of the series hold up?
Some complained about it as it's not nice to the characters and some of their plot trajectories don't go the way people expected after book 1. I have read books 1-3 and I liked them all, I have not read the 4th...and there is a second series that takes place later on with different characters I've not read either.
The magic is cool AF, and there's some people you can really root for and others to really hate...
It's not grimdark, but it's grim dark adjacent for sure.
$3 is probably worth it to find out if it's your bag or not.
Noted, tnx. My ebook read has yet to resume any kind of worthwhile level, earbook credit runs a bit more but i see my library has it.

In Topic: WHEEL OF TIME TV series watching thread (spoilers!)

Sure, but if it's not making money why would they?
Hope that long term the series generates so much buzz that DVD sets and merch sales generate massive profit? Unlikely. Resale to networks/secondary streamers? They can do that now.
Movie sequels? Who are we kidding?
I like the show, i would have liked more of it, but realistically it was evident it would never be GAME OF THRONES. -

The most likely is that we are in for a 10-20 year wait before anything else is attempted cause the ip is to tainted after that garbage pile he put out. Or it will happen fast for Hollywood time as Sony/IWoT sells the tainted rights at a reduced price to someone/s that knows how much $ this thing could be worth if done correctly in good faith to RJs work and rakes in the $ while rubbing/loln in Rafes face. I got to be honest after Frieren S1 I'm convinced animation is the proper way to fully do it justice but I want Live Action much more.
Oh hell yes it has started even sooner than I imagined. Today Sony and Amazon relinquished the rights to this dung heap. Still have to deal with IWoT but the path forward to a true adaptation has been laid today and I got to imagine someone has plans for the $ it will bring in.
Today's news makes me wonder if they will "Willow" this mess in the end.
They could pull a reverse Harry Potter... wait a short interval then plow ahead with movies. Animation... VOX MACHINA and FRIEREN are clear evidence this could work, but i can't see a major player 'settling' for that medium when, in theory, the $ generation is potentially way higher with the big screen. And, as absurd as this example is on its face, there's the KPOP DEMON HUNTERS option... release a movie direct to streaming, blow everyone away, then move to theaters (give or take the sing-a-long element).
