Happiness is a warm gun

Mistborn Era 2: Wax and Wayne Series by Brandon Sanderson

by 2 Comments

The last time I reviewed a Brandon Sanderson book, I complained of Sanderson fatigue, the review got featured, and several more people complained about it with me. So it is a bit sheepishly that I confess I not only went back to him but that I read the entire second Mistborn series minus the one book that hasn’t been published yet. And I enjoyed them immensely. In fact, for someone like me who still had fond memories of earlier Cosmere experiences, The Alloy of Law, Shadows of Self, and The Bands of Mourning were perfect way to pull me back […]

Arcanum Unbounded by Brandon Sanderson A residual Sookie Stackhouse trilogy comes to a real f–ker of an end: great characters, AWFUL names. Deaver goes a little off the rails in the latest Lincoln Rhyme mystery.  I keep chugging through Jodi Taylor’s delightfully British time tranovels.  And […]

Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.

A Memory of Light (Wheel of Time, #14; A Memory of Light, #3) by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson

by 6 Comments

First, a confession. I have drunk the Wheel of Time Kool-Aid. I know this because when I started reading this book, I began thinking of an eventual re-read of the whole series. To say I was surprised by this desire is a bit of an understatement. Halfway through my Wheel of Time journey, if you would have asked me about the possibility of re-reading this series sometime in the future, my reply would have been along the lines of, “Um, whyyyyyy.” But now it’s, “Maybe?” And that right there should be enough to tell you how much I appreciated this last […]

I have done hard work and must rest now.

Towers of Midnight (Wheel of Time, #13; A Memory of Light, #2) by Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson

by 2 Comments

This book was THICK. In every sense of the word. My wrists still hurt and I finished it days ago. My brain still hurts also. I needed the last few days to recover a little bit emotionally before I, a) Wrote this review, and b) Jumped into the last book. Long gone are the days where I could read three 1,000+ page books in a row. (I miss those days.) It’s not even that this book was particularly emotionally taxing. The Gathering Storm was much more stressful, in my opinion. It’s just that I read A LOT of pages in […]

Episode 1-12: I See Your True Colors Shining Through

Warbreaker, The Stainless Steel Rat Goes to Hell by Brandon Sanderson, Harry Harrison

Episode 1-12: I See Your True Colors Shining Through Wherein I review: 39. Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson 40. The Stainless Steel Rat Goes to Hell (Stainless Steel Rat #9) by Harry Harrison What began as my least favorite Cosmere book quickly climbed back up in my esteem.  It’s the magics I didn’t care much for it this one, but the characters grew on me.  And the Stainless Steel Rat was less delightful as he multiverse hops.

A Side Quest, If You Will

Edgedancer by Brandon Sanderson

by Leave a Comment

Edgedancer is a small novella about the character Lift from Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series, wherein we get a little more exposition regarding her character and how she falls into her role in Oathbringer, after first being introduced via a small interlude section in Words of Radiance. As far as the book goes, it is a quick and fun little adventure that fits easily within the already established story. It does, however, also serve (as mentioned in the post-notes) to solve a few problems and continuity issues within the main Stormlight Archive series. Normally, I would be annoyed by this, as I hate […]
