Devin commented on Fantasy's review of Wind and Truth (The Stormlight Archive, #5)
So, there's these people, and they really want to do this stuff, but there's these problems, and so they have to figure it out, and it's difficult, and no spoilers, but maybe something happens

I was promised a major political and courtesan story, I'm barely scratching the surface of this book and I've already gotten a ton of it. The world building is just massive already, so many different terms and powerful groups emerging, but it doesn't feel like the typical world building slog setup that sometimes happens in the beginning of larger scale series like this one. While definitely wouldn't be able to recall anything specific about them just yet outside of the broad strokes, it doesn't feel confusing (more so than any other new world setup).

The novel A Darker Shade of Magic secures an ok rating of 2.75 (rounded to 3) as an enjoyable fantasy that feels incomplete yet successfully provokes reader interest in unexpected ways. Through her parallel Londons, Schwab establishes the potential for an epic fantasy series while delivering both beautiful prose and an undeniably compelling concept. The debut novel serves more as an elaborate prologue than an independent full-length story. The primary flaw of the book stems from Kell’s lack of character development throughout the story. The protagonist should propel both the story and reader engagement through his character development but unfortunately exhibits no significant changes throughout the book. Full in-depth review can be found on Bromantasy.com.

This series has been pitched to me so much it's wild. Everyone raves about it, that's it's a space opera full of politics so I'm definitely excited. Goal is to get through the 6 books before the newest/last one comes out in November!

I need some time to let this one site. It was an easy read, and I feel like I moved through it. There were definitely some issues but an overall good story. I'll probably read the other two books at some point in the future.

I love supporting indie authors! I try to read a mix of books by popular authors and indie authors! If you do, who are your favorite indie authors? Melissa Pearl is one of my favorite indie authors!

I am enjoying this so much!!! I like the evolving dynamic and being completely unable to predict what challenging aspect will be thrown at Carl (and the other crawlers) next. I already know I'm going to be serving a very large plate of Upsetti Spaghetti when I complete this series because I won't want it to be over!
