  1. [Reseña] Los Diablos
    El verano es la época en la que puedo dedicar lectura a “tochos gordos”. La mezcla de menos trabajo y más tiempo me permite centrarme en libros más grandes. Por ello, no es casualidad que tras el verano aparezcan las reseñas o los podcasts de libros de Neimhaim.

  3. I don't think it says anything positive about me, but even during my first reading and his first appearance, Glokta was my favorite character.

  15. «Si existe un secreto ... es nunca avergonzarse de hacer la pregunta, y nunca temer cuál será la respuesta, y no desperdiciar ni una lágrima con los rechazos, y atrapar con las dos manos cualquier calorcillo que puedas arrancarle a la insensible oscuridad de la existencia.»

  18. Las lecturas de agosto 2025

    Este mes he leído una novela, dos tomos de cómics (con 6 números cada uno), 1 novela gráfica en tomo, 1 manual básico y un suplemento de rol. Pocas lecturas, la verdad, pero entre el calor, los planes veraniegos y Rogue trader pues es que no he tenido ni mucho tiempo ni muchas ganas. […]

  27. Finished reading the last book of The First Law trilogy -- Argument of the Kings by #JoeAbercrombie
    Solid read. Well written characters. Never a dull moment in the book. I would say 4.75 out of 5.

  29. D.h. ich darf mir überlegen, ob ich danach ein Blumenbedarfsgeschäft ansteuere und so ein Teil nachkaufe.

    Könnte auf dem Rückweg noch am Supermarkt vorbei und mir Zwiebeln und Käse für ein Käseomlette mitnehmen 😏🤤

    Und natürlich will ich heute Abend noch mal fleißig sein, was #naehen und/oder #lesen

    Habe endlich mit dem zweiten Teil der Klingen-Trilogie von #joeabercrombie angefangen; Before They are Hanged. Bis auf die Darstellung der Frauen ist es gut...

  30. There are lots of runner-ups. Here are a few, and why, in no particular order...

    -
    The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordon and Brandon Sanderson. Jordon wasn't the most eloquent writer, and Sanderson is a workhorse, but both know how to plot on a truly EPIC scale, and both are gifted world-builders. IMO, the show is better than the books so far.

    -
    The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. Unfinished, and say what you want about Kvothe, but you have to be born without a heart not to appreciate the brutal honesty of this self-lost man trying to remember his own Name.

    -
    A Song of Ice and Fire by GRR Martin. Another well-written but unfinished entry to the genre, but with less mysterious magic than above. The writing, though? Martin has his own magic. It's undeniable.

    - Anything by Joe Abercrombie. There's a true successor to Glen Cook. That's what Cook would've wanted, I think. It's only sometimes epic, you see. Mostly, it's in the dirt and mud and gore. It's Sword & Sorcery in an epic realm, with rare occurrences of magic. But pieces keep dropping, with questions attached...

    -
    The Ryria Chronicles by Michael J Sullivan, and pretty much his whole oeuvre since that's what he works on. There's something workmanlike in his writing. It's straightforward in prose, not encumbered by lofty voice. It's deeper than it seems. Start with the buddy stories and unravel the mysteries of the Ryria, and it opens up a whole Silmarillion of fantasy epic adventure in Sullivan's Legends of the First Age series. Which ARE epic.

  32. #Books #Ebooks #JoeAbercrombie
    The 1st law trilogy.
    Read it first on paper and was completely hooked.
    Now re reading it again on my #Kobo
    Forget about Lord of rings; about a song of ice and fire , in fact forget about all the genre.
    They all pale in comparison.

  33. El sello Runas de Alianza ha revelado hoy el ilustrador de la reedición en tapa dura de «El último argumento de los reyes» de #JoeAbercrombie: Fran Vegas.

    Saldrá en noviembre, con el texto revisado por el menda, y tenéis más detalles (y la espectacular ilustración completa) en caballerodelarbolsonriente.blo

  34. Holi! Soy Carmen (o Menchu, como prefieras) y estudio #informatica .

    Me encantan los #videojuegos como #HollowKnight , #Cuphead y #OriAndTheBlindForest aunque también me gustan otros como el Minecraft, R6, CSGO, etc.

    También me gusta mucho la #literatura (actualmente estoy con empezando con #BrandonSanderson y #JoeAbercrombie ), el #ajedrez , los #juegosdemesa , el #magicthegathering y el maravilloso mundo del #rol .

    En cuanto al mundo de la informática, me apasiona desde que soy muy peque y me puedo tirar horas #programando o configurando una distro de #linux .

    Y creo que con esto estaría ya toda mi #presentacion / #introduction :)

  35. Treat Everyone Like a King
    "Anyone can face ease and success with confidence. It is the way we face trouble and misfortune that defines us. Self-pity goes with selfishness, and there is nothing more to be deplored in a leader than that. Selfishness belongs to children, and to half-wits. A great leader puts others before himself. You would be surprised how ac

  36. no doubt entirely coincidental, but i'm suddenly struck by similarities of nature between Judge Holden in #CormacMcCarthy 's Blood Meridian and Bayaz in #JoeAbercrombie 's First Law series.
    great and terrible and supermoral, both

  37. I appreciate that #JoeAbercrombie can write a chapter introducing half a dozen new characters and by the end they are each distinct and memorable—by name—when I finish. It’s an important skill for a writer, especially in genre fiction, and he’s very good at it. #BeforeTheyAreHanged #FirstLawTrilogy
