I googled to see what on Earth this is

[personal profile] feotakahari 2014-04-20 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't link it. I'll link the Jezebel article on it, because watching assholes hate on assholes is way more fun than hating on assholes yourself. http://jezebel.com/ladies-quit-paying-attention-to-this-vile-troll-websit-1469942571

Ha. A Jezebel article? That is the pot calling the kettle black.

Jez is far from being a perfect website, but it's usually a lot more civil than fs

Oh shit, anon. Now you've done it.

Re: I googled to see what on Earth this is

(Anonymous) 2014-04-20 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
ayrt
Lol. I'm not the biggest fan of Jez, for several reasons, but I'm pretty sure most fs members don't even go on there, and like the rest of the internet have stereotyped it as 'angry feminazis!!'

Yeah I really regret looking up that site

Ha. Turns out that Return of Kings site is blocked by my work network. For the best, I guess. (The Jezebel article made me curious about it.)

That is pretty pathetic and idiotic.

[personal profile] rubbertea 2014-04-20 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
i don't want to call fake but there are so many books called "[x] of kings" that i wonder how you managed to only come across this one.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-20 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
... because all their friends are into it?

[personal profile] rubbertea 2014-04-20 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
i don't understand your comment. op managed to avoid all other books called "[x] of kings" because their friends are into this one? that doesn't make sense.

[personal profile] riddian 2014-04-20 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I think anon means that OP came across this book because all their friends were into the series and presumably recced the book to them.

It is weird that they've never heard of any other books called "___ of Kings" though. Like, just off the top of my head, Return of the King from LOTR. That's a pretty well-known book, not to mention it's way closer to the name of the site than the book in the secret.

That site is really shitty, but title similarity is a stupid reason for not reading something. Especially when it's something as generic as "x of kings" for a fantasy novel.

What about LotR's The Return of the King? Does it share the same fate?

(Anonymous) 2014-04-20 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I love this series. Sorry, nothing else to add.

Kaladin is my husbando

(Anonymous) 2014-04-20 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup. This was my reaction. "YAY STORMLIGHT!"

So are you perchance a fan of Kaladin/Shallan, Kaladin/Adolin, or (my personal favorite) Kaladin/Shallan/Adolin? Or just Kaladin/You?

(Anonymous) 2014-04-21 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
It was Kaladin/Shallan at first but I ended up shipping them with Adolin. Storm take the adorableness of the three

(Anonymous) 2014-04-20 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Imo that website is like the westboro baptist church. The best reaction is no reaction. There are worse groups out there who arent desperate for your attention, and the ones hurt the most by that sad hateful bullshit are the members themselves.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-20 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I find it really ironic that you are avoiding reading a series with fantastic female characters because it reminds you of a sexist website.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-20 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I hate that website and everyone involved in it so much.

I think it's a shame that that's ruining a potential book for you. :/

That said, yeah, that site is a total shithole. ugh.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-21 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that site is terrible, but when that site just totally slams another site which is probably worse than returnoftheking, you know that other site is bad, especially when sites like 4chan and just everyone else who knows about said site basically say do not respond at all to these people, they are truly terrible.

Dude that book kicks ASS

(Anonymous) 2014-04-21 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
It is freaking epic, and has an incredibly well-designed world and magic system, and there's a great big pile of characters to root for, and KALLADAN, and SPUNKY RESEARCH SORCERESS, and DIVINE STORMS, and they RIDE GIANT CRABS.

I think the second book just came out? As I recall Sanderson was sidetracked for many years because he was hired to finish...whatever that series is. Wheel of Time? That one.

Re: Dude that book kicks ASS

(Anonymous) 2014-04-21 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, the second book is out and you should READ IT NOW SO YOU CAN HOPEFULLY JOIN ME ON MY LONELY OT3 SHIP.

Well done, random MRA link anon! That was subtle. You're learning.
