Probably a 3.75/5 overall because I am out of practice reading big chunky books in general and haven‘t read much epic fantasy specifically. Took me longer to get into than the Mistborn series, but I still enjoyed it a lot (and am already reading the next book in the series).

I really liked this stand alone dark fantasy! It‘s pretty heavy, with themes of colonialism and oppression and exploitation, among other things. Definitely see content warnings.

There‘s a well defined magic system and two main characters I really cared about. There were several reveals I wasn‘t expecting, and the end was a surprise.

Celaena Sardothien has survived deadly contest and shattering heartbreak, now must travel to new lands to confront her darkest truth about her heritage that could change her life and future forever. Brutal and monstrous forces are gathering. She must find strength to battle inner demons, and the evil about to be unleashed. 4/5 I really liked this one. Love how all the stories from AB are starting to twine together. Bawled for some of this one

Happy Tuesday! Here is the reading schedule for Words of Radiance. I think it‘s going to be a good one. I just started it and I already have so many questions! I can‘t put it down.

Leniverse I have to say I'm glad we didn't start with this series. I would have likely bailed on The Way of Kings after two or three hundred pages and never picked up another Sanderson book again 😬 But as it is, I am eager to continue the series. 5d
JacqMac @Leniverse I feel the same way. I totally would have bailed and I never would have understood why people love them. lol 5d

Meshell1313 I am also loving this one already. So glad it‘s not as slow going as Way of Kings and just kind of picks up right in the middle of the action! 5d
rabbitprincess I can‘t find where I saw this, but I read something where Brandon said that it‘s better to read The Way of Kings once you trust him as an author 🤣 5d
rabbitprincess I started this one on the weekend and wow, what an opening line! 5d
JacqMac @rabbitprincess He‘s not wrong. 🤣 4d

These books are never what I expect, but it always blows my mind.
A very satisfying end to a very heart-rending journey.

Hob weaves true magic with her writing. Her poetic, imaginative prose takes you places you've never dreamt of; contiplating situation you'll never face, but truly do though her stories

Enchanted_Bibliophile Going into a darker, more introspective character study with this book makes it much slower than the previous two (which were already slow) so perseverance is the name of the game. Don't try to rush, stick with it I promise you'll be glad you did. Even if it test your tolerance for grimness beyond what you think you can handle. 2w
Enchanted_Bibliophile The complexity of the character bonds is what really pulled it off for me. Nighteyes, Fool I'm looking at you.
The prolonged revenge quest got a bit much for me, but the character development I got out of it was so worth it. Understanding where Fitz came from - his physical and psychological suffering - made me understand his need for revenge.

Enchanted_Bibliophile How he revenged himself in the end, O Man!
It shows just how much he's learnt and grown and it was just spectacular.

I'm gonna miss these characters, they've become a part of my heart.
