Trying Not to Lose It Over These Book Reviews

But it's it's what's the beauty of Molazin is the vastness of it contained in the intimate perspective of really layered and flawed characters. Yep. He does that better than anybody I have ever seen just in terms of the scope and how he's ma able to maintain that very intimate immersion with a group of characters despite the epic scale of the world.

And I read Gardens of the Moon. I had no idea what was happening because I had very little experience in epic fantasy at that point. And I still was like, "Wow, like this is so cool. I just want more of it."

And man, the relationships are really where this story shines. Okay. , I love it. I love the relationships.

Darl is not the reason I love Red Rising. And I tell people that all the time. He's fine. Like he's fine. But the magic for me of Red Rising is the other characters and Darrow in relation to the other characters.

One of the things Lynch doesn't get enough credit for from the people that love his books is he's a very good character writer. And I think a lot of people focus on the characters and the MLY crew and the you know we love Lock and Jean and you know and that's true absolutely but again like we were just talking about the freshness of the world building and how like interesting like he can write an atmosphere like nobody's business.

It's very short. , and it's in my top 10 of all time. Oh, and the film adaptation was what I saw first and I just read the book two years ago now. , loved it.

I didn't like two of the three main characters when I started this, but I love them by the time I was done.

The backstory of Msaki. Yes. Not being well worked into the general book. And I have said before that like if that part was removed, I would have given this book five stars easily.

What I think is so brilliant about White Fang is you have something very wild that is forced to now survive in civilization. He's pulled away from the natural wilderness that he has ingrained in himself as a character.
