Tress has some stuff that I think is a bit "???" if you're not plugged into sanderson's self-insert shows-up-everywhere character lore but should still mostly be fine! Iirc it has a very distinct voice even compared to the rest of his stuff, I think it's one of those you'll either love it or hate it things
200 pgs thru Witch King Rly enjoying Kai's bitchiness and the fact HE has to wrangle other peoples bitchiness I was a little lost in the sauce with all the different factions but it's falling into place
that's exciting i rly enjoyed the demon concept in that one and just the variety of societies like it wasn't just 2 or 3 random culture expies it was definitely a delightful garden salad of different vibes
yeah the narrator gets more... tolerable mostly because you want to know what happens and partly because they become more story intertwined but yeah. punchable. trust me it's worse in audio form bc the person eating the book was way too good
finished tress! after those early chapters of annoying narrator negging, it got way better c: i liked it! i guessed the rat-secret early and felt vindicated when it revealed, so that was enjoyable
high fives re the rat secret, same here, i ended up more curious about how/when tress would too. and yeah narrator gets better, he's just. so punchable. early on
183pgs into Amina and I'm so loving the vibes and cast It might be corny to say but all the prayerfulness throughout just lifts my spirit and makes me enjoy it more Love the family energy with the crew
PUNCHES THE AIR AMINA RULES!! finished it, loved it, happy with it as a standalone but wouldnt mind the next installment too i am cracking open baru cormorant next
ive just finished the accountant section of baru cormorant - about 144 pages it's interesting but also kind of a challenge - a good kind if that makes sense
i do get this kind of annoying itch where i expect this book to do nothing but do the opposite of what i assume it will because..y'know. sneaky politics. deceit and self-denial and doublespeak and such
the flipside of that is that because i read game of thrones, i can't make myself care/feel attached to any of these characters lmao EXCEPT MIURE LO........
now has everything weird memory ghost machines giant weirdo empires AI-controlled cops old man yaoi recreational slam poetry political dissent slam poetry usb sticks that crack open like kinder eggs ice cream
i finished empire!! it was fun! interesting! im glad it ended how it did so i can either just leave the tale there or grab the next l8r (i will probably grab l8r)

Instead of Khat it's Kai lol
