I saw a new thread and thought "there is no way his book is out"

And lo and behold, it wasn't

My big problem is that with only 1 book left, I cant see how he becomes the guy who owns the bar. Like, these are just 2 completely different people, with completely different world views and personalities.

I mean, I know that poo poo is what these books are all about. hmm, well, I spent the last few years as the poorest of poor beggars, getting constantly hosed up and then I hear a single story and I'm suddenly a con-artist of the highest level, and now I'm a generational scholar.

Adding to that, we are 2/3s of the way in, and he hasn't done any of the poo poo we were promised he would do in the first couple of chapters. Yes, I get that a major theme is that stories get magnified and changed over time and distances, but gently caress me, do you honestly feel like it would be realistic for him to do any of that poo poo? Or how about whatever the gently caress was that crazy loving monsters in the intro? Again, hes gonna have to cover sooo much ground just to cover his promises, let alone introduce anything new.

That is assuming, he doesnt waste a quarter of the book being a wondergod at sex with faeires or ninjas. Whats next? Is he gonna gently caress a sexy samurai next?

I will credit him for properly recognizing that The Magicians Land is the best book in the series

Also, lmao, I like Butcher, but lol at Storm Front being anywhere near a top 50 book in anything, it starts the series, but is incredibly weak. There is a reason why the Butcher thread tells people to skip the first 2 books
