500 pages into W&T and I'm not even halfway yet

[BobPhelan]

Finished it yesterday. 4.25/5. My least favorite Stormlight book but it ends strong. Takes forever to get going, felt like a lot of spinning its wheels. The Szeth flashbacks were great and plenty of standout moments. Wouldn't say I'm disappointed by any means, still very excited for the future of the Cosmere.

Accidentally spoiled something for myself the other day while looking up a piece of info, dang.  It's something that has been speculated so it could have been worse I guess.  Still 500 pages to go for me can't wait to see how it finishes up.   A couple of these interludes, holy cow!

Almost done with Wind and Truth.  Sanderson has me feeling emotions.

What day are you on?


I blew through this book pretty quickly. I've been doing a slow reread to see what I missed.

I think the structure of the book stole most of the meaning out of the first 75-80% of it and then while the results were meaningful it was in a way that made me question the structure in the first place. Very frustrating book but enough cool stuff and investment from previous books to still get a lot out of it overall.

Is Patrick Rothfuss ever going to do the right thing? Or is this just another GRRM situation?

Done now.  There are so many callbacks to the earlier books, not just WaT.  I'm sure I'd be done long before this if I wasn't audiobooking.

About to read Shogun for the first time.

Been on a pro wrestling book jag of late. I just read "Death of the Territories" and "The Last Real World Champion: The Legacy of Nature Boy Ric Flair"; both by Tim Hornbaker. For any current or lapsed wrestling, both are good reads.

I've been reading the Sean Duffy series by Adrian McKinty, about a sarcastic police office in 1980's Northern Ireland trying to solve crimes while drinking too much and trying not to get blown up by the IRA, some of whom live down the street.  Great stuff.

Book #8 in this series just came out, and the Kindle versions of the first 7 are on sale for $2.99 at Amazon.  They're all great.

I’m almost done Harlen Coben’s Marlon Bolitar series, maybe I’ll check that out next.

I'm on the first proper novel after blasting through the Murderbot series.  I want to read it before the show comes out so I can complain about everything they ruined.

 

Also back on Stephen King in my audiobook stream.  Giving 11-22-63 a go.
