peak writingcooking (says cooking in image name lol)
Ah ok
@crimis_cringle please confirm whether or not you’re a Skandar enjoyer, I don’t know any other than my annoying AF sibling 
just to be perfectly clear, which skandar is it specifically (series name)
The series is called Skandar
It’s a bit of a hear me out because on the surface it’s teens who ride unicorns, but when you actually read it you realise it’s both epic and also dark AF at times
Saga of Darren shan
Saga of larten crepsley
Demonata saga
End of discussion🙃
98% sure we’re thinking of the same one
also percy jackson is very peak and also peak
Name the first book
So I’ve heard
skandar and the unicorn thief iirc
We certainly are! Get in
I may not have met any WoF fans, but with Skandar I haven’t even met anyone who knows what it is lmfao (I’ve only read the first three tho I confess)
But yeah I’ve heard PJO is pretty good so I may have a look at some point
not just percy jackson, the entire extended universe is peak cinema
Yeah sorry that’s what I meant
you have to read project hail mary, it’s such an interesting science fiction novel and written by the same author who wrote the martian
Don’t lynch me but what’s The Martian
humanity sends a mission to land humans on mars, it succeeds and they leave to return home, but one man is left behind and has to survive on mars with what he has available to him (mainly potatoes). it also got a movie
Ah neat
peak
also peak
old but still peak
I prefer Magnus Chase but percy is still good
My favorite Christopher Paolini book is Murtagh
i still think about the Rembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy (usually just called by the first book Three-Body Problem) pretty often
i dont wanna spoil anything but the story itself overall is so interesting to me and i really love some characters stories in particular (Ye Wenjie and Luo Ji). It’s hard sci-fi (sci-fi that tries to stay fairly scientifically accurate/logical) but that doesnt stop it from having really cool ideas and scale especially in the 2nd and 3rd books. If you’re a fan of media series that go over large timescales rather than sticking to one period youd also be interested as most of the series takes place over 400 years, all the while it goes into alot of detail about humanity’s advancement, cultural changes, changes in how society and civilization functions, how the universe functions, etc.
In terms of pacing it’s a very slow buildup (that works in its favor), youre gonna be shown things that all tie together only near the end, etc. Though mind you there is more action-focused parts and while theyre not super prevalent theyre all written and setup incredibly well (the big event in the 2nd book is one of my favorite in any sci-fi thing ever actuually)
atleast for the english translated version (the books are originally written in chinese), the translator added a ton of footnotes especially in the first book giving historical context to many things referenced in the books and it gives a cool look into chinese history and whatnot. I think it definitely enhanced my enjoyment of it
That’s the best rough summary i can make up with zero spoilers but i love this series alot and i think any fan of sci-fi would like it
all Terry Pratchett discworld books READ THEM NOW
Might be a controversial take, but I personally think that percy jackson’s a bit… overappreciated. Don’t get me wrong, I like it well enough, i’ve read the whole verse like twice or thrice by now, but it’s not that good considering the amount of people that i’ve seen irl and otherwise that are utterly fanatic about it.
rookie numbers.
