I bought it not knowing it was only one 200 page story. When I finished it I was like, "That was cool, I'm gonna start the next one right now! Oh... there is no next one..."

Yeah it's three stories but each one is very short, i'd say the whole thing is the equivalent of not more than 10 ASOIAF chapters. Which just goes to show that GRRM can actually write a tight story when he wants to.

Bran isn't going to become a tree. Something g will break in the sanctuary and bran will end up a hostage of the others. He will then realize he doesn't need the tree to use his powers and he will lvl up his powers like neo at the end of the matrix

Is the new book out yet? And by that I mean The Unholy Consult by R Scott Bakker. The best thing about ASOIAF at this point is that I learned about Bakker's series via this thread. Is there a thread for those books around here?

It's in the archives now because for some reason it's been like five years without a book. Supposedly the first half of TUC is coming in July 2016.

RCarr posted:Oh! Oh! I need a book to read. Where do I start? Start at The Darkness That Comes Before. Word of warning, if ASOIAF is a 7 out of 10 on the bleak darkness scale, Bakker's Second Apocalypse series is a solid 10. It is very well-written and it's by no means a dumb grimdark series, definitely one of the most affecting set of books I have ever read, but you've been warned.

It's got some real hosed up scenes, so yeah be warned. we are a race... of lovers It has a very middle ages / middle east feel, and part of it parallels one of the Great Crusades - which was a big hook for me once I realized it. It took a looooooong loving time to get into, and I had to power through it at first. If I hadn't bought the book to read while I was going to be basically snowed in for a week, I'm not sure if I could have gotten through the first half. My Grandfather had died, and I was spending the night on the floor at my Grandmothers house to keep her company for a few days. She was depressed, already suffering from some dementia, and that book was in some ways my only escape from my own sadness at the situation. I sure picked a cheery book to keep me loving company, that is for sure. I'm glad I stuck with it. I've reread the series a few times now. also, rape. it's got a lot of rape, and waaaay too much gross sweaty middle-ages unwashed lice covered genitals. There is black colored semen and one of the main characters is like a ye-olden-times fedora wearing neck beard - he is still pretty awesome though. Lots of accusations of misogyny and whatnot towards the author. If you drink every time someone calls a vagina a Peach, you would be too drunk to ever finish reading the book.

Or he's dead and Melssiandre's going to revive him since the show even made her go out of the way and meet Thoros and witness his ability to resurrect someone. Then HBO, D&D, GURM, and whomever else claimed he was dead can say they weren't lying.
