Finished Howling Dark book 2 of Sun Eater Series. So it did drag at times and seemed somewhat repetitive but the last 1/3 or so with the Cieclin was awesome and immediately went and bought the next one (stupid library didn’t have) Kharn Sagara was cool af. The highmatter sword (shardblade cough cough) is pretty sick too. The uh come back story at the end I hope gets explained a bit more. Anywho onto demon in white.

Agreed boiled leather reread is way to go. There is like one Jon part of the story that is a bit wonky iirc but made it so much better. As others said Feast is MUCH better on reread or side by side with Dance. All this said I’ll never reread it sadly cus we’re never getting more books ??.

Saw one Twitter dude with 6k followers say cal being mentioned at Denver and that was it. He woulda gone pro years ago if he ever actually wanted to. Sure that dude saw him shaking LeBrons hand and tried to stir the pot to get some views.

Brackets obviously a crap shoot but I got a lot of the middle pack losing early. The talking heads will say the sec was overrated blah blah. Still got Burn, Florida, and Tenn final four tho.
Ended up trying Suneater and finished book 1 Empire of Silence. Felt kinda like Kvothe in space. The Cieclin art is awesome. Prob woulda stayed in Emesh to with Anais but alas. Starting Howling Dark today will prob go back to Cradle 3 when done with that and bounce back and forth.

Any other warm body is welcome one would think. Especially getting 2 weeks to practice and bringing back. Plus he won’t be playing 38 min prob like 10-15 right?

Read like 8-10 of those years ago. Loved the presidential convention one with Puppet man guy? When the alien protagonist (blanking on name) got body swapped then his grandkid went uh way to far that was a bit too much and think I stopped shortly after. Some of those were impossible to find too.
Ready Player One was so much better than Ready Player Two at least lol. The nostalgia in a lot of book one hit, still liked it fine though when I reread before 2 came out. And yea he is the definition of a Mary Sue

Any word on Theiro from last night? Can’t have him hurt cus that means Brazile is on the floor. End of game wanted Z and Aidoo in almost.
Taking a brief sci-fi break and debating what to get back into. Red rising reread (dark age up next), continue Cradle Series (finished 2, took a long break inbetween to read Wind and truth and started red rising reread), or start Sun Eater saw some recs on here and synopsis sounds dope. Had trouble finishing cradle two but once I finally got back into it liked it. Loved the Eithan dude.

Can’t lose at SC they’re the only quad 3 left. Talking heads made it sound like you finish 7-11 in conference you’d be in. Have to beat Texas, win at SC, and take either Mizzou or Miss st at home. Anything else is improving spot.

Thought it had to do with LA Knight or Logan getting in the way/stealing the moment. Him getting eliminated after all his shite talking kinda sucked.
After someone pointed it out on a fb thread it was pretty obvious Shallan is pregnant at the end of the book. “She might never see Adolin again. Her hands went to her stomach, cradling it. Oh…oh storms…” “she could survive. She had to. Not just for herself.”
Do we really need Lift flashbacks? Unless they’re flashing back to Vasher training her. Edgedancer was her intro don’t think we need much more but what to I know. The rest sound cool.
To be fair I laughed multiple times at Rayse convos with Tanavast. When Asyhn was burning and they were fleeing to Roshar, Rayse says something like “whoops maybe a bit too much, anyways better luck next time.” I was cackling.
Hey at least you have multiple points and articulate them. Most the people on fb threads are just yelling Sanderson sucks he shite the bed, he can’t write anymore, etc. I do think he heard some of the “Sanderson doesn’t have the best prose” shite online because ever since the secret projects he’s seemed to want to make his conversations “deeper” if that makes sense. He dropped some dimes in Tress and Yumi at least, seemed to maybe be trying to hard and that. The humor too but i liked that for the most part. All that said Honors dead but I’ll see what I can do line had me yelling “frick yes” outloud :lol:
Also sucks for T-vang that Roshar is in a speed bubble like thing so the other planets can catch up. Assuming Mistborn era 3 will happen similar time as when stormlight 6 will pick back up.
I was most upset we didn’t get allomancer vs radiants this book but it’s obviously coming. Agreed Adolin was by far and away the hero of this book. I loved it the only part that felt forced was the renarin/rlain stuff. I didn’t care they’re gay and I liked that Drehy brought it up to Renarin! That’s good friend stuff! Everything else felt beyond forced as others have said. I’m on reread I’m sure there is a lot of fat that should have been trimmed.
