Anything else like the First Law/Lies of Locke Lamora?
I'm near the end of "the last Argument of kings" and at the middle of "red seas under red skies" and out of all the books I've read since starting this hobby (2 years ago) nothing has reached the perfect storm of quality that these two seem to share like humor/depth/wit and character interactions and agency.
Also the dialogue is always captivating even during a slow sequence of events they keep you engaged.
Of the books I've read these past two years they share only parts of their strength but never all
The justice of kings (dialogue/character agency)
Blacktongue Thief (banter/humor/wit/Dialogue) this is the closest
Red queens war (banter/humor)
Name of the wind (wit/humor)
The Palace job (banter/humor)
Etc...
How is this series compared to Superhuman Era?
Does it fill the void of large cast of characters/kinetic strategic action/competent characters
Ranking all books read in 2026
First Law book 3, and Gentleman bastards book 1 were just too far above everything else, a new rank was made for them.
[Spoilers All] Vigga-Wolf vs The Eaters
How would the wolf handle your average eater like the ones in the last battle of book 3? or the strongest ones like Shenkt/Mamoon/Yoru
[Before they are hanged] by (Joe Abercrombie) Sex scene prélude
Heian Sukuna vs this massive jumping
X group/Order/Hashira/upper moons/phantom troupe
Underrated Hypersonic Shiba feat
Glass cracks propagate at 1400 meters per second (mach 4)
Shiba teleports as the glass starts breaking/talks to Samura/moves to the civilians grabs them (that's when it finally breaks)
He is at least 2 to 4 times that speed (and this is without accounting for anyone else in that building that was saved)
Dabura vs Meruem and Heian Sukuna
Since the consensus is he beats both individually what about a 1v2
The 4-men duel vs Kokushibou
They have nichirin blades
