I really love what happens with the rebel Aes Sedai at this point. And I also like Elayne's part, too. Edit: Started reading Elantris today and already loving it. I think my masters dissertation will suffer now. I'd have to look back into it to see what exactly is going on with Egwene in that book. I remember the arc of the series, but mostly don't recall what happens in which book. As I recall, I generally like Mat throughout the series, Perrin at the beginning and end of the series, but less so in the middle, Egwene towards the end after her training with the wise ones, and Elayne for a brief bit towards the end before she drops back to being insuffereable. It stands to reason that book 10 would be a good point for Mat and Egwene, and maybe one of the better points for Elayne before she drops back down, but i'd honestly have to check 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Currently on Cold Iron by Leicht and I am puzzled how a book I enjoyed two years ago can be so "meh" on a reread. I will have to go the library route on the sequel now. I reread books all the time and cannot remember such a drastic change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch one skipping all Jar Jar. Watch two, skipping all whiny anakin. Thats how i deal with them. 2 is good when Obi-Wan is featured. He's awesome. Anyway i just finished reading Catch Me If You Can. About Frank the check criminal. It's fascinating and hilarious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leiasqz she/her Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 @Ammanas Have never had that happening with books, but it happens with board games all the time as I grow more experienced.

About halfway through Dust of Dreams. I should much more time for my SA reread than I had thought.

Also the 2 others SE wrote which I'm curious to see your reaction to. I think Ammans shares my "what?! WHY?!" reaction to bk1 of that set.

Sorry I need a little clarification. Are you referring to Forge of Darkness? Also are you referring to the change of style of that book compared to the main 10 book series? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammanas Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 @Briar King To a certain extent yes. But I am used to things like lore and time lines in the malazan series being...fluid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also quite enjoyed Night Angel though a lot of people I've noticed didn't. I'm actually really looking forward for him to finish LB because he is going back to NA afterwards and has grown so much as an author I'm expecting great things out of the new books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 100 pgs into Age of Assassins by RJ Barker. It's a strong start so far with the author doing some interesting world building. Sometimes these assassin books are the equivalent of a Michael Bay movie in that it consists of mainly action scenes; this isn't the case thus far and it has had good pacing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should read the rest but I accidentally bought book 1 again instead of book 2 It was interesting enough, but I thought some of the ending was a bit "over the top" in the part of getting out of trouble.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC01 he/him Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'm reading The Fires of Heaven for the fifth time (I never read The Week of Time before 2014, but I've since been rather dedicated to making up for lost time), but I've also been squeezing in some comics. I wholeheartedly recommend Seven to Eternity and Night's Dominion. Also, Copra. And Monstress, but y'all should already know that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draginon he/him Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Just finished Mistborn: The Final Empire. Here's a mini review: Favorite Characters: Sazed, Vin, Elend, Spook Most memorable moments: Vin saving Elemd in nothing but her underwear XD, Marsh killing the Inquisitors, the almost impalement from the nail, Elend's introduction, Sazed saving Vin's life, Spook and the handkerchief, everyone speaking eastern dialect to Breeze Next up to read is The Well of Ascension in my Sanderson-a-thon. Currently debating if I should do a reread of Alcatraz before The Hero of Ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for me, I've just started on The Blade Itself having giving up on Malazan for the moment because I need something far less confusing in a very stressful schedule... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left he/him Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I finished Deadhouse Gates. It was very hard to re-start the book halfway through, but I made it through and I think I understood everything. I'm going to take a quick break and read Assassin's Price, then if I have the time I'll start on Malazan 3. There's a good chance I simply won't have the time to finish it before I leave for school, so I may just wait to start until I'm settled in school and then grab a copy there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Alcatraz is such a short read that I want to refresh myself for the second book, especially since I'm going in publishing order and Alcatraz just happens to be stuck in between two Mistborn books. Do love the characters but reading three 'dark' books in a row would be tiring and publishing order keeps things from going stale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxal she/her Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I am 3/4 into the Broken Eye and I have one commentary to make: Spoiler Karris rescuing Gavin was such a satisfying moment I never want to ever read the damsel in distress being rescued by the valiant knight ever again. How can anyone think Adolin rescuing Shallan is anywhere near interesting when the opposite has so much more potential? I loved the scene and the twist on Gavin. Great arc. The chapter featuring his execution was very well executed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
