I'm not exactly the type to set friends up on blind dates. I can barely find a decent partner myself. But it's slim pickings in Lakewood in the first place. I had to come all the way here just to find someone who was reasonably attractive and could keep up with my pop culture references and didn't give off creepy stalker vibes.
Yeah, the books were pretty good. A little long-winded in places and there were some points where the exposition could have been cut back a bit, but they're some damn good fantasy. The hype is real.
