Fantasy & Sci-Fi Book Thread

Yeah, he's grown up a lot. For one, he's actually understandable now. lol

Vin stops being so...emo too. She embraces who she is, rather than fearing it will

Elend has grown up a lot too, of course Tindwyl played a vital part towards that process.

Yeah, definitely. Makes him a better king.

I kind of ignored The Hero of Ages for three days but as of yesterday I am giving it the gentle love it deserves again.

Anyone else read John Carter of Mars? It's basically a sci-fi/fantasy mix. Very good stuff, even if the tone is a bit dated.

Didn't they make a movie of it?

They did. It basically covered the first "book". And it wasn't that great, honestly.

I barely remember it, haha. I remember a giant dog-like creature that ran really fast.

Well, I mean, it wasn't terrible. But it also wasn't very memorable. It isn't really a book that is easily made into a movie, especially since not everyone has read it. This isn't LotR or well-known DC/Marvel comic book characters here, right?

Yeah. But still, making a movie out of it would only make publicity for the books, you'd think.

True, but since the movie wasn't that great...hrug:

Yeah, the film was advertised quite a bit, but it came off as an attack of the clones/avatar rip off with bits of planet of the apes and it was critically unsuccessful by and large, so I don't think it helped the books.
