gohmak posted:keep reading. The ending is the whole point of the saga. I agree that the end of the second book is worth reading, and a satisfying place to stop, and the parts that didn't get resolved didn't bother me too much. I skipped the Endymion books, but might come back to them. What are they about? Do they get more into time tomb/moneta/shrike origin stuff? Or is it an unrelated story/aftermath in the future of the same universe?

Phummus posted:The third chunk of the Wool books, called Dust came out last month. Has anyone read it yet? I enjoyed Wool, but not so much Shift. I don't think Dust did a good job of resolving the story, I liked Shift more than Dust. Dust needed either 100 more pages or another sequel to fulfill the promise built up in the first two books. Instead the scope narrows considerably, the ending is rushed, and I found it very disappointing. And I'm not someone who had a problem with the ending of Lost.

The Gunslinger posted:How was Dust by Hugh Howey? I just finished that Broken Empire series and discovered I have nothing new on my Kindle. I stopped reading his stuff after the whole "suck it bitch" thing but I hear he offered a decent apology and hasn't done anything since so I'm curious if Dust gives any decent closure for the series. I recall being pretty disappointed with the second one so maybe I should just forget it though. I thought it was a disappointing ending. Technically there's a resolution, but it reads like there's still another book to come. The problem is, there isn't. I wouldn't be surprised if he left it that way as an escape hatch so he could come back to the series in the future. He's already done the prequel thing, so the present/future had to be left open.

sam16 posted:Does anyone have any recommendations for genre crossovers, e.g. heist books, spy books, private detective books and police procedurals in a sci-fi or fantasy setting? There's Red Planet Blues by Robert J. Sawyer, a private detective story on Mars. And Caves of Steel/The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov which are detective stories that can be read on their own without the rest of his robot/empire stuff.

Is there a completed seres within the already published Locke Lamora works? Or is it a single ongoing incomplete series?

I finished The Half-Made World and liked it enough. I'm 60 pages into the sequel and not enjoying Harry Ransom's story. Should I stop reading, or does it get back to the stuff left open at the end of the first book, or The Gun and The Line in general?
