  • The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive, #1)
    Thoughts from 15% (end of part 1)

    Sanderson really knows how to tell an underdog story. Love Shallan’s determination and excited for Kaladin to finally get his moment…have to agree with Syl that his life in part 1 was difficult to witness

    Just started! I took 4 years of Latin in high school so I'm already loving the use of Latin roots in the terminology and the cultural inspiration from the Romans

    What an amazing woman I'm so glad her work was recognized. Her story is one that will stick with me.

    ok, so Shallan's POV is kinda annoying me. She's one of my favorite characters, but her indecision and unwillingness to just confront stuff is getting on my last nerve. We could cut her plot in half if she just TALKED to people!

  • The famous Sanderlanche(s)

    Brandon Sanderson is known for his "Sanderlanches" (etymology: portmanteau of "Sanderson" and "avalanche") which are his action-packed climaxes in his stories where all of the plotlines come together. I personally just finished my reread of Oathbringer and I think this sanderlanche may be my favourite one (yet). In less than two days I read some 500 pages because every single thread slowly coming together was just so captivating (not naming any specifics here as I don't want to spoil anything for people who haven't read it yet). So what is everyone's favourite Sanderlanche (and why)?

    It's so moving to read about a woman who cares so much about her country and its future that she is willing to fight so hard for it and risk losing everything

  • Negative opinions?

    This place is so positive I feel too self-conscious to post anything negative about a book. Is that just me? Since the community is still growing it feels like a lot of spotlight on one negative opinion. I wouldn't mind posting a bad review on Goodreads but here I would feel bad 😅

    Chapter 5

    Not gonna lie I'm struggling to get into this one and I'm not sure why. Coming off The Will of The Many I figured I'd be in the mood for some high fantasy, and the concepts are all good and interesting but I find myself stopping and putting it down every few paragraphs 🫤

    Struggling to get in there

    Hey y'all. I'm having a hard time starting this book. I absolutely annihilated the Mistborn trilogy and was extremely captivated with the story, the magic system, and just how Sanderson writes overall. But, as is fairly common, I finished a story with the same characters over three books and now I'm struggling to get into this new story. If anyone could help out with some reassuring and encouraging comments, I'd appreciate that SO very much! <3

  • Reading Order - could you help me?

    So I just finished Mistborn Era 1 and I absolutely loved it. Now I want to continue the cosmere universe and I really want to dive into the stormlight archive soon because I heard such great things about it. My plan is to read the novellas "the eleventh metal" and "Mistborn the secret history" and then warbreaker because I heard it is necessary before the way of kings. In the reading order I found online some people say reading Elantris is also a good idea. Now my question is should I also include this before reading the way of kings or can I read it any time?

    Every character is so likeable and I enjoyed the humor. Binky is my favorite of course
