Everyone is whining about this requirement. Do you guys not have a hyperbolic time chamber to jump into? I'm already Super ChatGPT Plus God Mode.

The Left Hand of Darkness is great. I really need to get around to Wizard of Earthsea.

Is your backend Node?!? Let's go baby, I'm a full stack dev.

I think The Blade Itself pays off. In an attempt to not spoil things, the first book is mainly "getting the gang together." The second is "the gang goes into action," and the third is "the giant climax."

Of the three standalone novels, "Best Served Cold" is probably the best and an entertaining read. However, without having read the original trilogy, you'll likely be a bit thrown off by many of the names and events referenced and have a couple of plot points of the trilogy spoiled for you.

I am currently very high on the First Law series, but I will admit I first read The Blade Itself almost six years ago and did not like it. But I think if you take book one as table setting and let yourself get into book 2, the merry crew of Glokta, Logen, Byaz, Jezal, Ferro, Collem, and all the rest will give you an unforgettable story.

There is something to be said about Abercombie's release of nine full books in the series in the past 18 years, plus a short story collection. I have a soft spot for Jezal—at first, because I didn't understand what type of story I was reading, and then later, because of how he reacts to his journey.

For a free piece of software it has no right being as good and as easy to use as it is.

I love companies swinging between "we have to increase your subscription costs to allow us to offer more great features" and "our customers are excited about our new features so we need to leverage advertising to continue providing them". Just repeat until everything is loaded with ads AND costs twice as much!
