“Brandon , go outside...”
2019: Brandon, go outside
Daniel: “Brandon, go outside!”
Merphy: I skip the song breaks... Do you read them??
I still think it’s one of the greatest flexes in authorship ever that Tolkien wrote the LotR series because he thought the languages he invented as a linguist needed some background...😂

The Mistborn series is one of the tighest I ever read. You get to the end of the last page in the third book and you feel as if the author knew exactly where he'd be and how he'd get there from page 1 of book 1. It just all came into play and you realize clues were laid out two books before for things that pay off in book three, and not in that "they threw a lot of mud at the wall early on so that they could make something pay off and look like a genius, even though a lot of things didn't pay off" way. It felt like every word had purpose and intent all the way through. It's impressive.
Beginner
Levels of fantasy books based on reading difficulty:
It's not a Daniel and Merphy crossover episode unless Daniel praises Wheel of Time and Merphy praises The Lies of Locke Lamora.
"Excited for book three" of the Kingkiller Chronicles. Oh sweet summer child..
A goat person is either called a satyr or a faun. A satyr is the name they used in the Greek mythology while faun is from the Roman mythology. Yay to Rick Riordan for educating me about mythology😂😂
"Brandon, go outside...", who needs sunlight when you have Stormlight?
Merphy: Kingkiller is Daniel’s favourite right now.
I tend to think of LOTR as Advanced but this is because I was introduced to it with reading the silmarillion as book 1... I regret nothing...
"If you haven't read Lord of the Rings I think you're a bad person"
To get into Lord of the rings as a beginner, it might be better to read The Hobbit before the Trilogy.
I think reading the hobbit first in the LOTR series makes the books as a whole easier to read. I read the hobbit as a kid (which shows how easy it is to read/comprehend) and didn't read the rest of the series until high school after rereading the hobbit.
The Malazan book of the fallen series is hands down the most complicated fantasy series ever written IMO :)
