Imager's Intrigue, Imager Portfolio #3 - L.E. Modesitt Jr. (2010)

The first third was meh, the second ok, and the third was fun. The first story arc was unfortunately far too long. The protagonist was in the same position as he was at the end of the second book, but now he had to face his deadly foe yet: a recreational superdrug that seems to be like a combination of weed, cocaine, and heroin. Worse yet, many are dying because not-fentanyl is being mixed into it. This was easily the worst part for me and it made me groan at times. Surely this could've been handled better, regardless of my personal preferences. Eventually it ended and I enjoyed the rest considerably more, despite the abrupt and rapid pace of progression in all ways that followed.

When GRRM asked, "What was Aragorn’s tax policy?" were you at least amused by it? Well, if so, then you're in luck. There were 25 direct uses "tax" as a base word, and not a single one of them meant strenuous. An example:
>considering revising the Solidaran sales tax structure and imposing a one percent value-added tax on both the bulk sale of agricultural produce and of manufactured goods, on the grounds that the sellers of those goods were effectively exempted from the end-use sales taxes.

There was a lot that was similar. There was also discussion about ancillary water rights, land tax, the specific details of their particular form of government, and much else. I enjoyed it.

In what I wrote about the second book, I stated that the protagonist had some villainous tendencies, though I suppose that's only my perspective. The overall tone seemed to be "you should be grateful to those who dirty their mind, body, and soul for you, and may have irrevocably lost their humanity." Which to me, is arguable, though with considerable skepticism. I previously wrote about being co-opted by the system, but that was the wrong sort of statement. It'd would've been better to have asked what happens when someone against the system becomes the system? What then is there to rebel against or blame for failure? Well, there's other systems, parts of your own system, and yourself. It seems rather uncommon that the last of those is chosen.

Thus this trilogy came to an end, though the series continues on at a different time and place with other characters. I was concerned that both the ending and protagonist's character arc would remain unfinished. That feeling lasted until I was most of the way through. Fortunately, the resolution and epilogue provided both. However, I was conflicted about the ending because it was excessive and disproportionate. I understood the rationale and I thought about what I'd think if this was done on my behalf. It's something to publicly condemn, yet to be relieved about in private. It's only human to want to avoid suffering the consequences of our own (in)actions, even if it means that many others must suffer in our stead.

Rating: 3.5/5

As long as the original isn't taken down (it sometimes is) I don't mind it. Often people who write web novels will have patreons or donation links, yeah? Buying a completed version of one of their works is another way to support them if you like their stuff, and also it's a lot easier to get the completed book out there and read than an in-progress series online.

I decided I'd rather read Soldier of Arete more than Kull stories or the Conan novel, at the moment. I read Soldier of the Mist in January.
Except I want to read Shadow of the Torturer more, so even though I didn't want to start another series while I have one ongoing, I'm reading Shadow of the Torturer.

Right after I finish Invisible Cities. Which is really good and dense for being such a short book. Because it's a series of parables framed by another parable of sorts, and not a traditional narrative, I haven't been able to read it quickly. And that's probably better that way. Honestly not all of it has been the most engaging for me, but I can't deny it's good.
My favourite cities are Verdana I believe it's called, where everything is reflected in the water. And similarly, the one where the dead are interred like a stage play in a necropolis where only a sacred brotherhood can go. That is an amazing parable that I had read in an anthology and was looking forward to it, didn't disappoint.

The contents of the plan don't matter nearly as much as the believability of the villain pulling it off and the threat the villain poses from doing so. People won't really care if it's like 95% the same as another evil plan (most evil plans have been done already) so go ahead.

>She shrugged. “The world is a scary place, and it’s only getting scarier. The American president is a narcissistic psychopath. Fascism, racism, misogyny and homophobia are all on the rise. We’ve ruined the environment. Animals are going extinct faster than I can name them. Bullying is everywhere. Nobody talks to anyone who doesn’t share their views. Everyone hates. Everyone shouts. Everyone cries. There is literally no escape for the human race unless someone steps in and orders them to be better. But the only people who could do that are sorcerers, and that would bring about the war with the mortals that Cadaverous Gant and these anti-Sanctuary nutjobs so desperately want. So … y’know. Rock and a hard place.”
>“Indeed it is,” Tipstaff said. “Although it’s hard not to feel superior when they have people like Martin Flanery as American president.”
>“Flanery’s an idiot,” Valkyrie admitted, “but, as far as I know, he hasn’t tried to take over the world or kill everyone in it. Can I ask you something, in the spirit of sharing potentially catastrophic global events? Have you guys had any encounters with, or warnings of, a woman with silver hair?”
>Gavin Praetor, a trim man with a distinctly feline quality to his movements, inclined his head slightly. “He is a boorish man. Arrogant. Narcissistic. Greedy for money and power. A thug in an expensive suit is how he’s being described by certain political commentators. In short, easily controlled and perfect for our needs.”
>He tried keeping the jacket closed over his gut as he descended. He didn’t like the wind, and he didn’t like stairs. He preferred air conditioning and elevators. There was no one on the ground to greet him, just the usual soldiers and Secret Service agents and the huge, armoured Cadillac they called the Beast. The photographer was there, too, taking snaps from ground level. This irritated the hell out of Flanery, as he knew damn well that every single one of those snaps would add a couple of chins to his jawline.

They aren't meant to be representative. I just picked some sentences from the provided free excerpts rather than downloading.

I hope it serves as a kick in the ass to authors and publisher alike. Maybe more authors will realize that they can't rely on publisher's milquetoast marketing attempts to build and grow their readership anymore. And maybe publishers will stop being so fucking lazy. I've seen plenty already writing off Sanderson's success as something that could only happen because he started with a tradpub but only a few seem to acknowledge all the actual work Sanderson has put in on his own to build his audience.

Of course smaller authors aren't going to make 25 million over night but cucks like Scalzi telling people that its not worth it for them to follow in Sanderson's footsteps are missing the big fucking sign showing what a better work ethic can do for them.

>“All the while the courses came and went. A thick soup of barley and venison. Salads of sweetgrass and spinach and plums, sprinkled with crushed nuts. Snails in honey and garlic. Sansa had never eaten snails before; Joffrey showed her how to get the snail out of the shell, and fed her the first sweet morsel himself. Then came trout fresh from the river, baked in clay; her prince helped her crack open the hard casing to expose the flaky white flesh within. And when the meat course was brought out, he served her himself, slicing a queen’s portion from the joint, smiling as he laid it on her plate. She could see from the way he moved that his right arm was still troubling him, yet he uttered not a word of complaint. Later came sweetbreads and pigeon pie and baked apples fragrant with cinnamon and lemon cakes frosted in sugar, but by then Sansa was so stuffed that she could not manage more than two little lemon cakes, as much as she loved them. She was wondering whether she might attempt a third when the king began to shout.”
>"Of food there was plenty. The war had not touched the fabled bounty of Highgarden. While singers sang and tumblers tumbled, they began with pears poached in wine, and went on to tiny savory fish rolled in salt and cooked crisp, and capons stuffed with onions and mushrooms. There were great loaves of brown bread, mounds of turnips and sweetcorn and pease, immense hams and roast geese and trenchers dripping full of venison stewed with beer and barley. For the sweet, Lord Caswell’s servants brought down trays of pastries from his castle kitchens, cream swans and spun-sugar unicorns, lemon cakes in the shape of roses, spiced honey biscuits and blackberry tarts, apple crisps and wheels of buttery cheese.”
>“Serving men ladeled out bowls of blandissory, a mixture of beef broth and boiled wine sweetened with honey and dotted with blanched almonds and chunks of capon. Then came strolling pipers and clever dogs and sword swallowers, with buttered pease, chopped nuts, and slivers of swan poached in a sauce of saffron and peaches.”
>“The Lord of White Harbor had furnished the food and drink, black stout and yellow beer and wines red and gold and purple, brought up from the warm south on fat-bottomed ships and aged in his deep cellars. The wedding guests gorged on cod cakes and winter squash, hills of neeps and great round wheels of cheese, on smoking slabs of mutton and beef ribs charred almost black, and lastly on three great wedding pies, as wide across as wagon wheels, their flaky crusts stuffed to bursting with carrots, onions, turnips, parsnips, mushrooms, and chunks of seasoned pork swimming in a savory brown gravy.”

These are three paragraphs, which doesn't constitute a single whole page, interspersed with characterization and worldbuilding, during the scene of the most opulent (and wasteful) feast in the story up to that point. And in fact the first paragraph is the exact one I volunteered in the previous thread, found in a first-page link of a Google search.
I asked for an example of pages and pages of food descriptions and an anon offered me pages 498 - 503 of A Storm of Swords as "especially bad" in that sense, but the page numbers aren't helpful without the chapters in question because the page count differs between every format.
If there are five solid pages of GRRM describing food I want to see it. I'd try to use my paperback, notwithstanding differences between versions, except that I read it 20 years ago to the point where the cover wore to tatters and I had to toss it.
By all means prove either the tenuity of my memory, or else that you're an illiterate /tv/ casualty whose knowledge of the best fantasy series of the last 20 years is limited to the ignorant donkey's bray of shitposted memes.

I'm the guy who brought up the question of GRRM describing food (I'd only heard this, I haven't read his stuff), I wasn't aware it was just a one-off.

[Anonymous No.20034815]

>>20034805
It's not a one-off, GRRM a big fat fuck and he enjoys telling you what the characters are eating. The question was whether he carries on uselessly for pages similarly to the way Robert Jordan does about other things in the worst Wheel of Time novels.

Doesn't Robert Jordan tend to do it as a way to characterise whoever's narration you're stuck with at the time?

Great list but you've put yourself in a corner saying you won't read 90% of the great sffg authors. Should give Robin Hobb a chance with Assassin's Apprentice.

But if I was to follow your rules I would recommend Barry Hughart. He only wrote the three books but they're a ton of fun.

I keep meaning to read Wheel of Time, but I have a weird reluctance to read it knowing it was a series finished by somebody else. I generally like Sanderson's stuff, even. Is the change very noticeable, or does he carry on decently well?

>Is the change very noticeable, or does he carry on decently well?
Read it and find out.

[Anonymous No.20034989]

>>20034948
The change is noticeable because Sanderson wrote it in his own style rather than trying to copy Jordan's style. His first book (The Gathering Storm) is the worst of his three because of his fuckups with some of the characters but they do improve significantly by the end and even TGS has kino moments. It is weird that the series was finished by someone else but you shouldn't let that stop you. Sanderson ended the series really well. He also used Jordan's notes wherever he could so it isn't entirely his own fanfiction either.

[Anonymous No.20035025]

>>20034989
I mean I figured he used his own notes, I was just wondering if it's comparable to, say, Eoin Colfer's finishing of Hitch-hiker's Guide.

Just tried to read Black Prism and I already feel like dropping it, the first chapter just felt so incomprehensible, like why are you starting the story here? The beginning of the book reads like a sequel instead of the start of a trilogy. Is this my problem should I try to keep moving on or not?

how do you write an interesting antagonist race? ive been working on a scifi project ive had kicking around for years, i finally managed to make the humans very interesting but now the evil aliens feel rather dull; theyre little more than vehicles for the plot to move forward, mindless, violent savages with not much deeper to them. the humans comparatively have alot more going on culturally, socially and psychologically. im trying to think of things to make the aliens more interesting but its harder to think of how an alien culture would diverge in thousands of years, im trying to write an entire background and lore for them and sometimes i feel its pointless and i might as well just use them as le ebul ayylmaos
