More like Knights Retard at this point. Can’t wait for Trannytron the Willshaper to pop up after transporting their dick away to save everyone in a stunning and brave way. Please clap

Kaladin will be there to keep Hyr in the 58%.

Hmmmm. I had always assumed the back 5 were set in a totally different time period.
He did say there will be a time jump to the back 5, but I don't believe he said how long of one. I'm assuming something like 10 years, but that's just a wild assed guess

Resumed RoW this week and finished it. It did pick up and got quite enjoyable at the end. It just felt like a slow burn for most of the book. Sucks to wait now though for the next one.

The thing that excites me most about that spreadsheet is the flashbacks from Talenal and Shalash. If true, it would be far more interesting to read about the lives of two of the heralds than about Venli and Eshonai.

Now that it's out in paperback, just finished Rhythm of War.

People weren't kidding about this one being a slow burn--lot of standing around and talking for a series that has so far had so many big battles and aerial duels between flying sky-paladins--but then you hit the climax of the book. Sanderson has a reputation for the "Sanderlanche", having literally every conceivable thing pop off simultaneously in the last tenth or so of the book, and this may very well be the biggest one that he's done yet. Hell, having

the God of Darkness main antagonist die

before even the halfway point of the series is a hell of a move.

Much of the rest of the book felt like it was more about laying groundwork for the rest of the series than anything else.

Meh. I mean I'll read the next one cause I do nothing at all at my job, but I really felt there was just so much drag to this book. The other books, especially the earlier ones threw in ups and downs. This was nothing but downs until the last bit. I probably would have been more satisfied if I didn't have to slog through so much to get to the good stuff.

Creepy rich evans with hair needs to get an editor that will slap him around.

I think Sanderson Farms genuinely fucks up power levels.

Vin in MB; what a great character that you can root for and get behind. Turns to God loses all characteristics that made her likable.

He was on track to do some shit with this and had to do a “oh wait, they’re not Gods, see, they’re totally vulnerable still annnnnd JK Kaladin is a God again.

sad bc he tells a great coming up story for characters but blows his load way too hard when they ‘ascend.’
