The Expanse - Lemmy.World

I just finished book 6 of the expanse. I live this series so much! I love great hard magic systems which this is, and the author is a bit Frederick Backman esk with how well his writing gets me to feel the emotions and moments of the characters. I’ve tried to watch the TV show and quit after the first season. I was just so confused. Once I finish the books later this year I’m gonna watch the series to the end of it.

Your mean hard science system?

The authors I’ve seen talk about / teach this all call it magic regardless because the rules are the same.

Sounds a bit like a lecture from B. Sanderson

Yup!

Also Naomi Novik and Steven Gould have used similar language when talking about it. But I’m mostly paraphrasing Brandon’s lectures.
