We are still pretty new, but we're trying :D

Murderbot is great! Nowhere near as dark as some books I've read, but yeah they do definitely have LGBT rep in them!

Any reason in particular you're not reading the last book?

I've definitely heard First Law is both grimdark and good. I have it on my TBR.

if you're not opposed to REALLY dark, Mark Lawrence's Broken Empire trilogy (starts with Prince of Thorns) is very good. You kinda have to push through hating theMC for the first part of the first book but it's totally worth it.

Also the Poppy War trilogy by RF Kuang is excellent.

Also, I will never pass up the chance to recommend Malazan Book of the Fallen.

For me "dark" fantasy aka "grimdark" is about darker themes, harsher language, and more realistic depictions of awful situations being in the forefront of what is happening (as opposed to just existing in the background). The book should be gritty and grim and feel hopeless and even victories should pyrrhic most of the time.

Hi, cute comic! Would you mind editing your title to include the spoiler scope? Just a tag like [RoW] would be enough :)

[-] fax@sffa.community 2 points 2 years ago

I guess it depends how you are with small detail work. If you have a steady hand and a good magnifier glass and some really nice detail brushes it might not be too bad. My grandpa paints models and has for decades and he has a really nice magnifier that stands on the table so he only has to hold the model under it to make it easier to see close up.

Another option is getting them unpainted and finding someone local to paint them for you?
