I get that too. I thought Harry Potter's world felt rich enough that JK could've written short stories and novellas based on that world, or hired some writers to do thatThat shyt is
I just started grabbing me some sets, and special editions but it isn't anywhere like that yet. I have the The Silmarillion: Tolkien Illustrated Edition. And I have The Hobbit: Collectors Edition and then a normal box set for LOTR.
I feel you on WOT tho. Not sure if I will ever decide the time to going through that entire series but I do want to try one or two of em at least.
As for the “one-and-done” fantasy books; I get what you're saying. There’s definitely something to be said for a complete, satisfying story that doesn’t need to stretch across 500+ pages or a whole trilogy. But sometimes, if the world is really rich and immersive, I don’t mind staying in it for a while. I almost want to linger.
Good looks on the companion vid 🫡

Just put theon this one as well. Of course, it wasn't as immensely detailed as his usual work, nor did it plunge into the depths of the human psyche like he's renowned for, but as discussed previously, it is intentional. A lot more heavy-handed, straightforward & fable-like.
The chapters flew by, but the story really had a hold on me by the time da creh Peter started to formulate his plan. And then, when it was all said and done and that 'needle had stopped', I definitely wanted a more traditional King exploration of it all. But I'm sure I'll get that in some of his other work I have coming up on my TBR, but I was def invested in Delain.

Same warning as with The Stand but I think you should be safe because I'm pretty sure I read Eyes of the Dragon and listened to this before I read The Dark Tower

Gotta have them palette cleansers in-between the serious and/or dense stuff lol
HP was one of my first real forays into fantasy, aside from Chronicles. I used to have ma dukes lined up outside dem book stores like J's waiting on a fix
They do have that play going on currently, Harry Potter & The Cursed Child or something like that, which I believe she helped write the screenplay maybe. I def thought she would do more with the world though; though she did give us 'Fantastic Beasts', I suppose.

I had this one in the queue for a minute. I see the marketing heralds it as "true detective meets inception" (which I typically hate that hyperbolic stuff), but it delivered on that front.
I would also dare to see it evokes the mild spirit of 11/22/63, but in reverse. Instead of one man fighting against an obdurate past, it's one woman pushing back against the infinite amount of possibilities of a horrific cosmic future.
I was locked in for the most part, with each timeline presenting it's on highlight that'd have you on tilt
The race to to the finish line for a little foggy however. It was just a lot of ideas, concepts and threads to be pulling on. But cuh still landed the plane for the most part.
