    KALI

    This isn't a graphic novel. This is a movie filmed with ink on paper.

    Sammelin's artwork is out of this world.
    Freedman's story?

    Not so much.

    Just your average Revenge Story.
    KILL BILL meets MAD MAX

    Still better than John Wick.

    I also finished listening to the first two Mistborn books and am 2/3rds of the way through the final one - huge fan. I've got Narf to thank for getting me hooked since she bought me the first one.
    Finished up Mistborn, listened to all 5 Stormlight Archives books plus the two novellas, listened to Project Hail Mary (thanks for that, Narf) and I would highly recommend it to fans of Arrival or Contact. I've started listening to the Wax and Wayne Mistborn series and I'm like a third of the way through the first book already.

    Finished reading The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes - ing massive book - and read The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. Also re-read QED: Quantum Electro-dynamics by Richard Feynman. Started Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb by Richard Rhodes which is another massive 1000 or so page tome - been a bit of slow going on that front though.

    Check out the TWC D&D game!

    Very welcome! Glad you liked Project Hail Mary!(Its SO good) Still need to read the two Novellas in the Stormlight series. Mistborn was where I started with his books too, the continuation, Vax and Wayne are good, you got a lot to look forward to!

    Tyrant, telepath, Saviour of Mankind.
    Expected to learn more regarding the Emperor of Mankind from this book.
    I learned nothing.
    420 pages of ambiguity.

    ADB is truly a lapdog of the established lore.
    It's immoral to write this good and say so little!

    Rage is the purest emotion.
    Not love, not hate, not indifference.
    Rage promises and delivers. Rage is honest, rage is true.

    Immerse yourself in the perfect tragic story of the downfall of 40k most famous Berserkers: the World Eaters.
    Angron is a very angry boy and ADB writes him flawlessly
