Even better the second time through.

Re-reading this was such a good idea. I didn’t re-read Way of Kings before I read this in 2014, and that was probably a mistake. I picked up a lot of detail on this read that I didn’t the first time because #1 was so fresh in my mind. Also, it turns out I had forgotten nearly everything that happens in this book. Like, it was just gone, like I was reading the book for the first time again (and how many times have I loved a […]

Ringing in the new year with Brandon Sanderson short fiction Cosmere nerdery.

January 2, 2017 by narfna Leave a Comment

Good way to start off the year, with a mini-Brandon Sanderson marathon in book form. I spent a cozy day on my couch yesterday visiting the Cosmere, and it was lovely. This collection is more than just a collection of all of Sanderson’s short fiction set in the Cosmere (a shared universe world that a majority of Sanderson’s works are set it in). It’s also a mini-study of the Cosmere itself. Each system (i.e. the Roshar system, where the Stormlight Archive books are set, or […]

Guys. GUYS. GUYYYYYSSS.

Don’t you just love when you find a story that clicks with you on every level? And it’s not like it’s a perfect story, or even all that objectively amazing, but it’s the perfect story for you? That’s totally this series for me. I loved the Mistborn books, and I SUPER LOVE the Stormlight Archive books (still my favorite thing Sanderson has written, and I’ve now read nearly all of his massive and steadily growing output), but these Mistborn Alloy Era/Wax and Wayne books have […]

I’m super digging this series.

February 13, 2016 by narfna 2 Comments

So you know how you’re reading one book and you think you know all about it and then BAM IT’S ANOTHER BOOK AND WHAT IS HAPPENING EVEN? And then you’re like, ohhhhh shiiiiiit. This book. This one right here. Honestly, I should know better by now. After I finish up Bands of Mourning, I’m sure in rather short order, the only books of Brandon Sanderson’s I won’t have read will be the Alcatraz books. I’m used to his tricks. And still. I thought I had this […]

    Made a mistake - there's no 'the' in the title. And the book had me at the cover too.

    You had me at the cover, and then everything else you said.

    definitely some healing from religious trauma! And, Saved! is one of my favorite movies of all time.

    I meant to visit museums using library passes (so $5 admission for one museum and $15 admission to another museum)...
