    • @ColinsCornerYT
      @ColinsCornerYT 7 днів тому

      Yes I have, but I don’t believe the examples you posed validate Karsa’s actions early on in the novel necessarily. My overall takeaway was that I appreciated Erikson asking the reader question “right” or “wrong” or “good” or “bad” by witnessing a culture vastly different from their own

    This is my least favorite Elderlings book. With the exception of two or three chapters which reminded me of a 1954 Japanese Godzilla film. I finally realized that it is the fool, his relationship he is just toxic, remove him and you get all my favorite scenes. I came to that epiphany in the Blackman’s crevice home.

      @ColinsCornerYT 12 днів тому

    The Fantastical still occurs in his other novels, though mostly much more toned down so when they do occur they're more special. A lot of Kay's magic/supernatural relies on taking a superstition of the time and making it real to challenge the modern reader's snobbery at the beliefs of the past. Lions of Al-Rassan or Under Heaven would be my recommendations of where to go next
