Tornhelm posted:Sure you're not confusing him with John Ringo? Larry saying that the Hugo voters are left-biased doesn't exactly make him human garbage (hint - they are). Nor does his nomination selection slate. See John Scalzi's post regarding this "controversy" for an actual sane non-bullshit opinion regarding it. Larry Correia isn't nearly as bad as Vox Day, he's just at the typical level of racism and sexism for middle-aged Republican men, i.e. quite a bit and tolerant/supporting of those who are crazy racist/sexist. Edit: That said if we want to talk more about terrible people in SF/Fantasy we should take it to the other thread. Piell fucked around with this message at 13:45 on May 22, 2014 |

Edit: Let's take this to the other thread to stop going off topic on this one!

Yeah but here's the thing Deidre said "We are fighting to save the world", referring to her and Nic. What if she was telling the truth? Murphy taking up the coin she had totally seems like a possibility. Actually now that I say that I feel about 90% certain that Murphy is going to take up Lasciel's coin. She can spend a couple books acting as organizer and kind of a surrogate mother Harry's daughters, and then when she needs to step up she takes up Lasciel's coin and becomes part of the actual mother to one of them.

Wade Wilson posted:Whoever keeps talking about Murphy possibly taking up Lasciel's coin. Did you not read the book? Yes, and everyone knows that Hades has totally shown himself to be opposed to Harry and the Winter Court, 100%

IIRC it's mentioned in one of the books that a wand is more used for accuracy in targeting/controlling spells whereas a staff is a more generalized tool.

No, the latest book is a lot better than the middle ones.

Grundulum posted:What does "Laurel Hamilton" mean as a verb? I'll be damned if I'm going to read her books to find out -- the covers put me off when I worked at a bookstore. Anita Blake (the main character of one of Laurel Hamilton's series) gets a new superpower (usually by having sex with someone).

VanSandman posted:Remember Changes was supposed to be the midpoint, and it was at book 12. I'll be drat surprised if he doesn't make it to 22 at least. Denarians are every 5th book. Unless Butcher gets to 25 case files (nope), then 20 is that last time.

The Jane Yellowrock series is pretty good too.

vulturesrow posted:So I have to somewhat ashamedly admit that I've read the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. If you haven't read it, the female protagonist is the stereotypical dreck that seems to abound in this genre. However, I stuck with it because I really like the use of Native American mythology in it. Are there any urban fantasy books that have a similar backdrop that aren't quite so bad? Not really less terrible, but the Jane Yellowrock books by Faith Hunter are similar.

Gilok posted:How are Kim Harrison's Hollows books on the romance/urban fantasy divide (or quality wise in general)? I haven't read any of them, but the western pun titles intrigue me. They're alright, but more on the "romance" side.

newts posted:Can anyone recommend any good werewolf-related novels? I'm just getting burned out trying to search on Amazon and only finding Sexy Alpha Werewolf crap. I don't mind a bit of romance, but I'm not really into paranormal romance. There must be something out there... I liked Wolf Hunt, if you're up for werewolf as antagonist rather than protagonist.
