I know it wasn't the most eloquent of posts but at least someone could agree or disagree. This board used to actually care about such things.

Jeez. I might as well retire from this place. Should I even bother writing a review or will its ligaments and superficial tissues simply be picked apart by uncaring vultures of conformity and apathy while its meat and bones goes undevoured by you carrion of complacency?!?

*sigh*

btw, the rest of the book sucked too.


I think you meant wotmania's Other Fantasy board used to care. Almost all the ones who were in the Erikson Reading Cult™ are either active at Westeros, their own blogs, or just aren't around anymore, so it's hard to generate passion around here these days, I think. In addition, it's like what Dan said, there is an answer within the text for the specific cause of outrage.

As for Orb Sceptre Throne, I thought it was a mediocre novel that inspired mehness but no outrage. Incidentally, I did receive the Tor hardcover edition of Erikson's non-Malazan novellas, The Devil Delivered and Other Tales in the mail this morning (it goes on sale June 19th), so I will likely be reading that soon.
