Femboy Joffery or make him bull to fuck femboy Tommen in the future?
And what kind of fantasy books you read?
Andy333

I think Tommen's going to be the femboy. And a good fantasy book? I actually really liked needful things by Stephan King. It's about basically the devil or some sort of embodiment of evil settling down in a small town in Maine and opening a pawn shop and basically manipulating people to do evil things towards each other for an object they really want.

For example the town drunk, his dad had this fox hide hat that symbolizes one of the few really good memories he had of hunting with his father and spending time together. Or there's this kid that really wants a baseball card signed by his favorite baseball player. who died recently.

Basically these objects on one hand, aren't really that valuable, but they have an emotional connection to the characters and the devil takes advantage of that to control them.

Can't stand Steven King. Not because he is bad, but because his subject matter is far too much horror for my tastes

It does sound like a interesting premise to explore how evil can come from earnest emotional desires and not a need for power as other fall to evil stories do

Stephan King is definitely an acquired taste, I used to be a huge fan of him but he has the tendency of using the same character tropes in most of his stories and once you pick up on that it kind of ruins the experience. There's always a writer, theirs always a alcoholic, their always a random bully character whose a complete asshole for no reason.

But some of his more obscure or weirder ones were he experiments a little bit more are really fun. Dolores Claiborne is one of my absolute favorites and its about an abused wife trying to kill her husband and hide from the cops. And it starts out as your standard police investigation drama where the killer is revealed in the beginning and the rest of the story is spent explaining how and why they did it, .
Andy333

But over time it slowly changes into a character drama about how killing her husband didn't make her life all that much better and how she still had to deal with the trauma and pain he left behind. Then it explores this really close friendship she made with this wealthy widower who has her own tragic backstory I won't spoil.

and the books message goes from revenge against your abuser is good, to facing your problems and acknowledging them is the only way forward rather than violence. Its was weirdly inspirational for a book with one of the most brutal death scenes I've ever seen from Stephan King.

This sounds like the kinda thing I'd find good in pieces and overall I'd say is high quality, but would never want to read myself.

I am a Second Apocalypse and Wheel of Time nerd. You ever hear of those two?

I appreicate the deconstruction of revenge narratives. Showing they are short lived bliss followed by long confusion and pain

I've heard of wheel of time, but I've never actually sat down and read it. What makes it so special?

The savior of the world is also the destroyer. It has a unique magic system with awesome feel. It is just elemental magic, but the man was so good at describing the use of it is a fucking thrill to read

"Rand drew on saidin, pulled for more, and still more. His flesh seemed so cold it must shatter at a touch; it burned as if it must boil away. His bones felt on the point of crisping to cold crystal ash. He did not care; it was like drinking life itself."

It has a wide cast of interesting likable characters, each with their own transformative storylines. A wide assortment of different cultures and deep history to the world, and every once in a while a blade master fights a twisted spawn of the shadow with a Power Forged sword that sparks like thunder when it strikes the black blade of evil. Its just so awesome

God damn that sounds amazing. I wonder if theirs any bad guys in the books that want to take over the world or absorb all the magical POWER and their point of view reads like a crack head because that sentence also works as one of the best descriptions of getting high.

The character writing is on point, the action when it hits has explosions and lightning and flame and ice. The main character is the best example of a Chosen One in the genre. With so much of the world being built around the coming of the Dragon Reborn and their fate to break the world again to save it.
