Reply to comment by metromachine in ‘Dune: The Sisterhood’: ‘Game Of Thrones’ Star Indira Varma Joins HBO Max Prequel Series As Empress Natalya by MarvelsGrantMan136
Like trying to compare erotic Spongebob fan fiction to The Brothers Karamazov. They were barely even written by Brian Herbert. A vast majority of the writing was done by Kevin J Anderson, who is a complete hack. He does his writing by taking long walks and just freestyling the prose into a microphone, which he then transcribes when he gets home with only a bit of tweaking. Everything about them is terrible, there is not a single redeeming quality.

It's lowkey inspiring that Kevin J Anderson has had a writing career as long and as successful as he has when his best work is a few mediocre Star Wars novels in the 90's. If he can get published, you can too!

He's a nice guy. I've met him.
Is he a complete hack? No. That's not a nice thing to say considering writing novels and having them coherent and interesting enough to read through is pretty fucking difficult. How do I know? I'm still struggling on book #1.
Are his books just kinda OK? Yeah. But the man has written hundreds of novels. HUNDREDS. He's the guy when you want a novel tie-in to your TV/movie/game.
He can crank something out in a week or two. I'm not kidding. It just flies out of his fingers.

Damn, well hopefully they do their own thing then. I was very skeptical when I searched the book and saw it was written in 2012.
