Sorry for the late reply! I haven't read Codex Alera yet, but its definitely on my list. I haven't actually read anything by Jim Butcher yet (hides in shame). What do you like most about the series? It sounds super interesting from the synopsis!

Yeah I heard about the start of Flamecaster, not looking forward to it I did read the Heir chronicles, but wasn't as fond of it (it was enjoyable while reading, but definitely not at the same level as her other books for me). Urban fantasy has always been more of a miss for me, so I wasn't entirely surprised- it came down to personal taste. Did you enjoy them?

Thank you! I'm planning on sticking around, I'm already growing to like this site more than expected. Not yet, I was planning on doing a reread of the seven realms first as its been around 5 years since I've read it now. I already bought all the books because I'm expecting to love it! Even if I don't (unlikely) I won't mind since since the covers are soooo pretty. I bought the hardcovers, and was lucky enough to get the exclusive dust jacket of Flamecaster so all my covers match

got it! thanks for letting me know, I would have carried on replying to everyone individually haha look at me, I'm learning!

Thank you! I'm definitely planning on sticking around now that I'm here. And yay, another Sazed fan! He's honestly so underrated in my opinion

Lol, I've already booked a "vacation week" off from work in advance so I have enough time to finish all of SA... No regrets! Thanks for the warm welcome, reading this made me smile

I love high-risk magic systems, a good example of this would be the from Poppy War by RF Kuang! I heard the lightbringer series by Brent Weeks also has a magic system with high repercussions, so it's pretty high on my TBR. Having characters suffer just makes the story more enjoyable and realistic lol (I swear I'm not a sadist haha).

yes definitely! From Mistborn, Sazed was by far my favourite. I connected with his character and his struggles, and really loved his development (especially when it came to The Hero of Ages). I also love Kaladin, I get the feeling he's a popular favourite! His relationship with Syl is something I especially I love.

not sure if this is the right way to reply... haha I'm not the most tech savvy. Thanks for the heads up on spoilers! Most of my favourite books are in the fantasy genre, so here are a couple: The Way of Kings - even though it hasn't been that long since I read it, it blew me away with the worldbuilding and magic system. The Shades of Magic series by VE Schwab - the characters in this I found to be great, and its just a story that feels so tight-knit and comforting if that makes sense. The Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima is less known, but I loved this series so much. The characters just grow and develop so much throughout the series and they're so easy to get attached to. Some childhood favourites are Percy Jackson, the Rangers Apprentice, and the Inkheart trilogy. English is my first language, but I learned Punjabi soon after. I also learned Hindi later from movies, although I'm not 100% fluent in speaking it. I know a fair bit of French and Spanish as well, but my French has (sadly) been going downhill slowly after high school since I'm too busy with university to practice consistently. I'm also learning Japanese! I hope to learn ASL someday along with Mandarin and German, if possible.

Hi everyone! I made this account for Aether of the Night, but I'm also taken aback by the high amount of great content I've seen on the site within the first 15 minutes of me just browsing. I'm not exactly a brand new fan of Sanderson's works, but I still have a large amount to get through: From the cosmere, I've read Mistborn Era 1 and am working through Stormlight before the RoW release (just recently finished WoR). I've also read Skyward, and am currently reading Stephen Leeds. It's been so much fun getting to dive into an authors works with such a large back catalog. I'm avoiding reddit forums and the like to prevent spoilers, but I thought posting here couldn't hurt- I'd love to make friends to talk to about books! Some of my other interests aside from fantasy books include watching animated movies and learning new languages! Hope to get to know some people here
