I finished the first trilogy of the Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist. This was a series I had read as an early teenager so not my first time through it.
It was largely a disappointing read… it felt very “surface level” for a fantasy book and I never felt very invested. It is hard to read when you compare to Sanderson or Rothfuss worlds and characters.
Next up, I’m going to check out Foundation and will read in chronological order rather than publication order.
Thank you very much!
I have been considering playing these… is there an actual recommendation on play order listed somewhere? I’m sure I could reverse engineer it from your tongue-in-cheek comment, but figured I’d ask since you seem familiar :)
My wife and I had the same issue when we started out. We’ve solved it two different ways.
Option 1: Use 3 parts pecorino romano, 1 part parmesano, mix in a bowl and then slowly add to pasta while vigorously stirring (pasta should be very hot still to melt cheese)
Option 2 (my personal preference): Combine a bit of cacio y pepe recipe with a bit of carbonara recipe :)
Mix your cheese with egg (we use 3 eggs + 1 yolk, 3oz pecorino romano, 1oz parm) until it’s a slurry. Add pepper to the mixture. Then add to pasta and stir vigorously.
I just finished reading The Mercy of Gods by James S. A. Corey (authors of the Expanse series). Overall I really liked it and am excited for this series! I feel like the characters haven’t hooked me as much as the characters from the Expanse series, but I’m going to give them more time to develop.
I am now reading The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett. This one has surprised me how much I’ve enjoyed it so far. I have read his Founders trilogy and Divine Cities books and found them hit or miss.
