OT: Sci-Fi and Fantasy Thread - SPOILERS Part Three

[Fire Tortorella]

I've only watched the first episode of Ahsoka, but I haven't seen Rebels and even though I'm familiar with the characters it still feels like I'm being dropped in the middle of a show rather than a new series.

That's exactly how A New Hope started.

I prefer this to a bunch of exposition.

Rebels is pretty good. You’d be completely up to date with Ashoka after watching that series.

Pilot of Ahsoka was boring but the 2nd episode picks up the pace of the story quite a bit.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

So Ahsoka is just an assortment of Dexter villains, eh?

 

[Lord Defect]

New series of justified is pretty good so far

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'm finishing a re-watch of seasons three and four of "Rebels" before starting "Ashsoka," and what it is doing is making me further pissed off that the sequels were allowed to happen.

Just unwatch the sequels and you will be good to go.

thats a pretty good deal for 17 books, and ya its hands down the best fantasy series Ive read. Ive only read through the first 10 books a couple times, but ive reread a few like deadhouse and house of chains a bunch of times. its kind of ruined other fantasy for me now though, it sets a real high bar

How do I get the books from the files section of my iPhone onto my kindle app?
Also what’s the order to read these in?

From your settings menu in your Kindle app, you should have a "local file access" option.

Start with Gardens of the Moon. It's the first of the 10 part main series. You can see the series wiki page for the full order without spoilers.

I'm re-reading Gardens of the Moon while on vacation. I got probably 2/3 through Deadhouse Gates a couple years ago but put it down for whatever reason. So I wanted to start over because I'd have no clue what was going on if I tried to just jump back in. They are a crazy ride, and I've never heard a bad review from people I know who've read them all.

Thank you and thanks for the heads up/recommendation

he throws a ton of stuff at you without much explanation, but in the future books he starts giving you answers, you just gotta make mental notes of stuff and he'll sneak in some context later through dialogue. it can get confusing, but its nice to not have your hand held through everything. things will play out in the 3rd and 4th book and then the 6th and 7th etc and youll get these holy shit moments where things click together so perfectly.

You are going to be seriously challenged ... I mean, you ARE seriously challenged, but this series will test your brain something fierce.

I read them in the publication order and it was fine.

• Gardens of the Moon
• Deadhouse Gates
• Memories of Ice
• House of Chains
• Midnight Tides
• The Bonehunters
• Reaper's Gale
• Toll the Hounds
• Dust of Dreams
• The Crippled God

Honestly it was reading @Captain Dave Poulin talking about how this series was insane and you had to just push through on blind faith and madness that made me decide to give them a look. That was way before i ever started posting here.This board rules. Too bad the Flyers suck

its the longest 10 book series ever written its fkn enormous, but it never feels like it when youre reading it. watching a whole flyers game feels longer right now

Is anyone watching Invasion on AppleTV? Season 2 is 2 episodes in.

I don’t see that setting, and there’s an option on the book itself to send to the kindle app but it comes up with an error, incompatible file type. The file you tried to send is not in a compatible format.

Ah, that stinks. Might have to contact Kindle support...

Or use Google Play Books, or an Apple equivalent...

Edit: I was able to open the files via Kindle and Google Play Books, so it should work for you somehow. I'm not sure why Kindle didn't work for you, though, sorry!

I bought the Humble Bundle because I only had the 10 book original series. I haven't read the other 7 yet. I also have most of the original series in paperback, so it's nice to have them all digital now.
