  3. Yeah, I read in in 2 days during a break between exams... But now I can re-read it!
  4. Just finished my exams (after a very long month)! Now I can read Oathbringer again without feeling guilty about procrastinating! Huzzah!
  5. Well, that was certainly one hell of a ride. 40 hours (yes, including sleep) and 7 cups of tea later, and I'm finished. Don't think I'll do that for the next book though, as I have less of an idea what happened at the end in the avalanche. Maybe it was for that reason that I found the avalanche somewhat underwhelming? I don't know, I just felt like there wasn't enough major plot twists concerning the assumptions we make throughout the story, and that it ended to nicely? I was expecting more dead people, but pretty much everybody made it through, and that kind of felt weird? Then again, this is possibly the result of reading for pretty much 2 days without doing much else, so, take it with a grain of salt Anyway, favourite bits: -Jasnah. Yes. So much Jasnah. Very good. 10/10. Now also Queen in more ways than one. I found the references to her so-called 'lunacy' interesting, and I look forwards to seeing if it was actually lunacy was actual lunacy or something else with the easy label stuck on (she isn't afraid of being controversial after all...) -The Girl Who Looked Up and Shallan + Hoid storytelling. This was particularly touching for me, as Shallan's experiences with her past and the way she deals with it (badly) are resonant with my own experiences. I was crying when Hoid was consoling Shallan, it just felt like such a touching and personal moment. -Spren cities! I just wish we got to see a bit more of these! It looks sooooo interesting! -Dalinar's flashbacks. Not quite sure what I think of him now... In a good way that is. -Kaladin's breakdown in Kholinar. This just felt like it was brimming with character. Tragic, but well written. (But please don't hurt him anymore Brandon) -Elkohar's character development. But then he just had to die.... (damnation it Sanderson) -Queen Fen. I really hope we'll see more of her in future. -Rock being group mum with everybody coming to him for advice. -Trashy Rosharan Romance (Wema and Sterling all the way )
  6. Also I believe that some of the later books (Era 2 and AU so far) are published by Gollancz despite most others being done by Tor, although I believe it is only outside the US (at the very least UK versions)
  7. So excited! getting the book tomorrow straight after my second last exam! Read a few spoiler-free reviews, and boy am I pumped!
  8. If by "bookmark" you mean nearest piece of paper/other flat thing, yeah, I use bookmarks. All my bookmarks that are actually designed to be a bookmark always seem to slip into non-existence... most frustrating Also, how do you people even remember what page you were on though. Seriously, how do you people not forget?
  9. My Japanese oral exam is over! And it actually went kind of well to boot! Huge relief to have finally made it this far. Hopefully I will never have to talk about electric cars for at least another year.
  10. When you want to talk about your favorite books in a language oral, but you can't even describe the plot of Stormlight in English...
  11. Well done Witless!! You've come so far! (this just makes me think of the shark support group in Finding Nemo) But yeah, I do feel you. School work is proving to take up most of my life. Luckily it comes out pretty much a week before my last exam, so I won't be waiting long. I'm so used to no bothering with Cosmere spoilers that I sometimes ignore spoiler tags, so I have a vague idea about some things which will happen
  12. I'm with you in this! I'm saving it so I can read it in a space of a day (maybe 2 if I'm slow ) after I finish all my exams. Plus, this gives me time to do a Stormlight re-read.
  13. Yes! I love Halt (and Will, and Horace,and Evelyn, and Alyss, and Tug of course), the perfect combination of sassiness and bad-assery. Him, Will and Horace are such a great team together, and their personalities are so much fun to read. Perhaps one day, Will and Horace will learn how to ask one question at a time... Other favorite characters would include Fitz and the Fool from Realm of the Elderlings (probably my most cried over characters) as well as Uncle Iroh (giver of insanely good advice and tea) and Maka Albarn from Soul Eater.
  14. If I outline, it just ends up going completely differently, so I normally have a general idea of whee the story ends, and I know exactly how the book will end. So I know where I'm going, I just don't know how.
  15. When you get your end of year jumper nickname as 'Stick'
