A second Bay of Pigs has hit the country

I get it for stuff like Brandon Sanderson’s cosmere works. It is, at this point, a pretty sprawling network of (mostly) loosely interconnected books and stories with occasional much denser connections. You can technically start pretty much anywhere based on your genre preferences and tolerance for epic doorstop books, but there are some sequences that will let you get more out of the books than others, and some sequences that will spoil what look like totally other series. Reading them in release order is fine for spoilers, but front loads some of the weaker books since he’s developed a lot as an author in the last couple of decades, and would also mean you’re doing things like breaking up trilogies in ways that might sometimes be annoying. Likewise, though, just reading all the books in one series straight through might sometimes cause problems.

And the people at the top of the administration are telling them “you are allowed to do anything you want,” so of course they might believe they’re allowed to do whatever they want. Neat little circle!

If we do anything, that might give them an excuse to start killing people!

What’s that now?

Oh.

Glad you enjoyed it comrade. It’s such a unique post-apocalyptic story–really lovely.

If you are funding violence against our law enforcement officers, I’m not a prosecutor, my guess is that’s not the sort of thing that earns capital punishment. But it should sure as hell earn you a few years in prison.

Positioning himself as the moderate choice

Absolutely. One of the few instances in which the adaptation is actually better than the book, in my opinion, and the book was pretty good.
