| Topic | Was KH3 kind of a nothing game? (Spoilers) |
| Shinebolt 06/06/21 11:11:13 AM #5 | I think there's several factors for that some of which have already been brought up. Adding to the laundry list we have it being called Kingdom Hearts 3 even though its like the 16th game in the series, a very very long waiting time for it to actually have been released, and the simple fact that in order to really understand what's going on people needed to have played the dozen or so other games beforehand. --- "Why bother with statistics when reality has already given you its answer." - Purple Heart |

We need more unique fantasy worlds that aren't reliant on Tolkienesque tropes. I enjoyed the books well enough. They just didn't leave much of an impression on me other than the first book and the world itself. Its like the Farseer trilogy for me, I liked the books and think the author is a great writer but they just kind of fell short to me. I'm having the same problem with "Ship of Magic" as well. Robin Hobb's writing is good and there's been some great moments, but I'm not feeling as engaged with the story like with other things I've read. In all of these cases its the narrative not catching my interest enough. The world, characters, magic systems, and prose are good, but the narrative isn't really my thing. --- "Why bother with statistics when reality has already given you its answer." - Purple Heart |

| Shinebolt 03/06/21 7:33:45 PM #47 | Can't really pick a favorite. When I was younger it'd been "The Black Cauldron" by Lloyd Alexander. However, while I still like that book I don't think it really stands out for me anymore. Currently going through "Ship of Magic" by Robin Hobb. I finished the Farseer Trilogy a couple years ago and decided to continue with the overarching Elderling series. The last book I finished was "The Stone Sky" which is the last in N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy. The overall world was very interesting and unique. I also thought the first book had a really cool concept to it, but overall I can't really say I'd recommend the series. Gonna try her Hundred Thousand Kingdoms series eventually though. --- "Why bother with statistics when reality has already given you its answer." - Purple Heart |
