“This was what my master sought? To tear down the Barricades?”
”And his masters before him,” the Nonman replies. “For more than two hundred years.” He studies the mad Nonmen. “And what lies within?” The black eyes did not waver. “The truth my brothers could not bear.” At last he glimpsed it, a point like a failing star. |

not much, though. robin hobb's liveship traders trilogy is wonderful, but is best read after the (not as good imho) farseer trilogy
daniel abraham's long price quartet is fantastic, too |

for sheer scope of ideas, sci-fi is a better bet. peter watts' blindsight is one i still think about often, years after first reading. richard morgan's future-noir is great too

few authors in fantasy beat GRRM for characterisation, so not that. but better plot, pacing, worldbuilding, narrative arcs, focus. despite the rolling shades-of-grey aspect, ice & fire is fairly broad-brush and increasingly tedious as the series progresses
(IMHO, YMMV etc.) |

wut?? I told him to be careful because he'd hurt his boyfriend by cheating on him, how that's a hurt that never properly heals because relationships are based on honesty and trust, and that an injured party tends to lash out at the person who has hurt them. I've been on both sides of that. Should I have been more sympathetic? Idgi. I was trying to help... I told him to be careful.
