There’s No End Like a Sanderson End

The Hero of Ages by Bandon Sanderson

April 8, 2022 by Ale 1 Comment

The more Sanderson I read, the more I feel like his books are really just love letters to his fans. His author notes are always so personal, and its clear that he takes his fans seriously and thinks about them as he’s writing. In this last installment of the Mistborn trilogy, Sanderson’s goal was to write an ending of a series that both satisfied and concluded without rushing or shoehorning. He took all the things he hated about series that ended disappointedly and made sure he […]

What Happens After We Win?

The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

February 28, 2022 by Ale Leave a Comment

I’ve come to love reading the author’s pages in books. If ever a new writer felt that they were the only one struggling with their manuscript, all they have to do is read the author’s note of their current favorite book to find out everyone struggles from the same issues. Sanderson, for all his prolific publishing, is not immune from writing troubles, as he plainly says in his author’s note from The Well of Ascension. The Mistborn books were his first series, and the issues […]

“I am the one thing you can never kill. I am hope.”

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson

February 11, 2022 by Ale 5 Comments

I’m taking a break from my Diana Wynne Jones challenge to read different fantasy. Thanks to my wonderful Book Exchange partner, I was gifted the full Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson and have been chomping at the bit to dig into it. I lost a lot of sleep over this book, it was just too good to only read for a half hour before bed, and as dense and heavy as Sanderson often is, this book blew by. Mistborn introduces us to the Final Empire, a pseudo […]

What is the distinction between magic and technology?

Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennet

September 26, 2021 by Mobius_Walker 4 Comments

BINGO – CITYSCAPE Sancia a thief and a damn good one. She gets hired in the city-state of Tevanne to do the jobs that no one else will be able to get done because Sancia isn’t just any average thief. Sancia is able to put her skin onto any other thing and know it. If she’s touching a wall, she knows where all the footholds are; if she’s touching the floor, she knows what and who are currently on the floor; if she’s touching water, […]

World War V: Part III

City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin

July 3, 2021 by Caesar's Wife 1 Comment

This is the third and final novel in Cronin’s vampire trilogy (or as I like to think of it: Cronin’s vampire trilogy for people who actually aren’t too fussed on vampires but just enjoy a big epic story). The first novel, ‘The Passage’, introduced us to the vampire plague and then jumped forward 100 years as the last vestiges of humanity desperately try to hold on to their grip on the world. The second novel, ‘The Twelve’, showed how the best and worst of humanity […]

World War V: Part II

The Twelve by Justin Cronin

July 2, 2021 by Caesar's Wife 1 Comment

The first book in this series, The Passage (my previous review), has forced me to do something I haven’t done in a long time: commit to a trilogy. A proper, lengthy, complex trilogy. I can’t remember the last time a series got its hooks into me so well. Quite a few of my cannonball reviews over the years have covered off on the first of a series. Gideon the Ninth, The Hatching, The Mummy Bloggers… None of these compelled me to continue. But Cronin’s epic vampire epidemic series […]
