And I thought a 400+ chapter Harry Potter story was long... I recently found a Merlin story that has 1000 chapters.
Thank goodness they're short ones.

Are you all right?400+ chapter Harry Potter
Are you all right?
Project Hail Mary (2021) was also excellent. Artemis (2017) was good, but perhaps a bit of a 'sophomore slump', comparatively. I've reread The Martian and Hail Mary, but I haven't been moved to reread Artemis yet.Ended The Martian by Andy Weir. Simply brilliant. Enjoyed a lot.
Sophomore slump is a nice way of putting it. Andy cannot write a woman to save his life.Project Hail Mary (2021) was also excellent.

Satan and Mary are quite well written…Andy cannot write a woman to save his life.
That series of letters had a spate of, ah, unconstructive usage a few years back, so it was added to the auto-filter. Guess it hasn't been removed.Hahahahahaha Civfanatics doesn't like those parasitic birds that don't have nests hahahahahahahaha
I started it on Saturday and closed it at page 548 tonight. All done. It was a great read and thrilling story of an Indian crime family. A follow up volume would even be welcome.Just started the Age of Vice by Deepti Kapoor. It's a novel based in modern India. It grabbed me from the start and held me close for the 150 pages I've read so far. 400 more to go! It would make a great movie.
I'll never read it, but it sounds kind of cool.The story I'm thinking of is called New Blood, in which Hermione asks to be sorted into Slytherin. She's still friends with Harry, but some other dynamics are changed quite a bit from the novels. It's Hermione who slays the basilisk, not Harry, and she captures Sirius Black herself (after a ritual to capture the Potters' betrayer seemingly goes wrong and she and her friends don't understand why they captured Ron's rat instead). Hermione isn't especially close to McGonagall or Dumbledore in this story.
Reading a story in which Hermione and Draco are friends rather than enemies and she's being mentored by Snape rather than tormented by him is an interesting twist. We see more of Hermione's family in this story.
