Permanence Review

You should go read Permanence, and then we can have a proper discussion about the potential evolution of cooperative aliens and whether or not sentience is really the pinnacle of evolutionary accomplishment we egotistically assume it to be.

202509.25202507.07 lloydearickson Fantasy, Reviews

The Gathering Storm Review

As I’ve mentioned a few times before, Brandon Sanderson was tapped to finish Wheel of Time after Jordan passed away before he could finish it.  I can think of few tasks more difficult or daunting than stepping in to finish another author’s masterpiece.

202507.24202504.26 lloydearickson Reviews, Science Fiction

Planetfall Review

Maybe it’s unfair to expect every science fiction book I read to be on the same level as some of the greatest examples of the genre, but Planetfall barely even deserves to be shelved as science fiction.

202501.23202411.08 lloydearickson Fantasy, Reviews

Lord of Chaos Review

Mainly, this is another book about Rand, and Jordan again manages to convey both the sense that Rand is going mad, and how each step and action he takes is reasonable and logical for itself.

Unsympathetic Characters

The simplest advice for writing unsympathetic characters is to think of the traits that make it hard for you to sympathize with real people.

Stories To Tell

To say that we must tell the stories that are unique to us is to crimp ourselves.  Don’t set out to tell the story that only you can tell.  Set out to tell the story that you want to tell.

202404.30202401.31 lloydearickson Education, Reading, Writing

Wondrous Tales

All of this reflection, eventually, produced a name for the sense I had for what was missing in my writing and what unifies the pieces I enjoy the most: wonder.

202401.18202309.22 lloydearickson Classic, Reviews

The Three Musketeers Review

Don’t take the lack of character developments to mean that there is a lack of character.

202309.21202306.21 lloydearickson Fantasy, Reviews

Waybound Review

Waybound made for an excellent end to the Cradle journey, and I look forward to reading what Wight comes out with next.

Powered by Limits

It's why authors should spend more of their time thinking about limitations than capabilities, because that's where they'll find the most interesting stories.
