Edgedancer went quick and I'm happy to be finishing it as my first book of 2026! More than anything I was spending the entire thing waiting to see what happens in the next book, but by the end I did appreciate Lift's character growth. Th...
Oathbringer was essentially the only book I read for 3 months straight, from the beginning of February to the end of April, coming in at just over 1200 pages. To me, this was about 4 books worth of story, and it indeed took me about 4 bo...
"It is unnatural for a thinking, seeing being to live amidst irregulars, unknowns, X's... As if you were blindfolded and forced to walk, feeling your way, stumbling, and knowing that somewhere - just nearby - is the edge; a single step, ...
"'Madness is worse than normal,' Kaladin said with a smile. 'It really just depends on the people around you. How different are you from them? The person that stands out is mad, I guess.'"
It took me a SIGNIFICANT amount of time to work...
"It was strange, how easily and quickly protection could cause destruction. Sometimes, Vasher wondered if the two weren't really the same thing. Protect a flower, destroy pests who wanted to feed on it. Protect a building, destroy the pl...
"At the heart of science is accepting only that truth which can be proven. At the heart of faith is to define Truth, at its core, as being unprovable" (36).
I fear I've made a mistake choosing this as my introduction to Sanderson. This...
As a huge fan of the HP franchise, I'm surprised it took me such a long time to get around to reading this book. It was a nice exploration back into the universe that I love, but overall the story felt super simplistic and overly spelled...
I am enjoying this so much. I didn't know these types of books existed, but it's so stylistically interesting to me and I have been talking about it a lot among my friends. I will probably go all the way through it again, but my first ru...
“I am glad it cannot happen twice, the fever of first love. For it is a fever, and a burden, too, whatever the poets may say. They are not brave, the days when we are twenty-one. They are full of little cowardices, little fears without f...
Well, this was unnecessary! I can't believe I even read the entire thing. I kept thinking something would happen??!?!? This entire book could be summed up in a one page summary.
"Ah, on what little things does happiness depend! I have read all that the wise men have written, and all the secrets of philosophy are mine, yet for want of a red rose is my life made wretched."
This short story was so unexpectedly sad...
You can call me whatever you want, but DON'T call me a quitter! I hauled my ass through thousands of pages of this series to be rewarded with this book. And it was actually, seriously worth it?!
This book really, really stunned me. It w...
How can something so bad be so good at the same time?! The writing definitely has improved since the first book in the series, but is still FULL of the same repetition, unimpressive & snarky lines of dialogue, AND SO MANY VULGAR GESTURES...
I have never felt so conflicted about a book in my life. On one hand, the writing is still subpar, repetitive, and I can't even count on one hand the amount of times phrases, such as bleating, vulgar gesture, and almost felt were used. S...
I almost DNF'd at around 150 pages but saw it through to the end, and I think that was worth it. The second half of the book is a lot better than the first. This may be one of the only YA books I've read in years. After many years of rea...
Once I started reading this book, it was truly hard to put down. Mostly just because I wanted to make sure there was a good ending - what a tough read. This story was so vulnerable and admirable. It resonated but shocked, made me laugh, ...
