    couldn't resist a reread of Shannen Chakrabortay's THE ADVENTURES OF AMINA AL SIRAFI ahead of starting the next book. Just Finished, and it's still great!

    Laseen isn't fooled. She needs someone to blame for the loss of 7C, two entire armies, and the food imports from 7C that a chunk of the Empire rely on. If she doesn't point the finger and extract vengeance, various nobles and entire countries in the ME are likely to rebel, seeing her as weak or ineffective.

    Mallick Rel has infiltrated the Claw. Korbolo Dom is connected within the Empire. They can sell any story they want, either to support Laseen, or to bring her down. So she can't blame them without risking civil war at a minimum.

    The few surviving Wickans and the Khundryl, a renegade 7C tribe, are her best targets. No connections, not particularly useful to her, already distrusted, easy to blame. She throws them under the bus as betrayers and renegades, wipes them out, it buys her time to undermine Rel and Reloe and reset her power.

    In the throneroom, she wants Tavore to agree to that plan. If Tavore refuses right there and then, the Claw and Rel strike, Laseen picks a side and loses either way, and Tavore and Kalam are unlikely to survive (tho Kalam seemed ready to take that chance).


    Thanks, I didn't get all that but I felt the choice difficulty in Kalam's brain. The way I read it, it was more like Laseen wasn't sure who's telling the truth.
    Still, I'm so happy that they are translated now, I was missing so much information before. Started the 7th one last week, it's the last one I've read (in English) like 5-10 years ago but I don't remember a lot of it.


    i can't find pics, how do the translated covers look?

    It's been 502-ing and lagging a fair bit over the last week.


    Same same. I think we may need to consider some steps before something apocalyptic happens.

    Cheers, I was wondering about that but thought I'd offended you as a GRRM or Rothfuss diehard or something :)

    Unbound Worlds now redirects to the PRH website, so that Top 100 fantasy link no longer works. Here's a very similar one though: https://reedsy.com/discovery/blog/best-fantasy-series

    Because some mobile browsers don't resize and it makes the thread unreadable.

    Just out of curiosity, why is it necessary to spoiler big pics on this forum? They go off the page and don't cause the text to unwrap, and they get resized in mobile browsers. I don't mind doing it; just asking.

    There is a word to describe that pic, I just found one in the depths of my convulsing brain. It's DISTURBING but in a funny way.

    If you're keeping score, I think my conversation (in a WoT thread, I think) with that one noob-troll about how to get banned from Malazan is worth a few. (i.e. "I recommend telling Malaclypse he's a douchebag.")

    When the new order rises, lazy posters will be among the first to be purged.

    Good call with the spoilers tags. I didn't want to add them because it makes it extra work to read posts :D
