Living the generalist life https://generallyspeaking.substack.com/ with a love for fountain pens - Join Me
Just finished reading Mike Shackle’s The Last War trilogy and John Gwynne’s Bloodsworn saga trilogy. Immensely epic and enjoyable. Looking for my next grimdark read. Any recommendations? (I’ve read most of the well known ones but please suggest away).
@starhammeryt.bsky.social enjoyed your BT vid. I’ve read Helsreach and have Blood and Fire up next. Can you recommend other BT-related reading? Anything more with Grimaldus?
