Review Braindump

Since last updating this blog, I’ve now read all of Stormlight Archive and am making my way through Mistborn Era 2 (plus a few others). Here’s some braindump-y thoughts about my latest reads:

• Stormlight is amazing. Definitely my favorite Sanderson series ^{sorry Mistborn} Want more now, plz.
• I aspire to write like This is How You Lose The Time War. I’m considering using a quote from it in my wedding. Seriously. Gorgeous.
• Skyward is really solid YA. Looking forward to continuing it.
• I feel…conflicted about Wax and Wayne. I like it, I like returning to Scadrial, but I feel really weird about the police aspects ^{#ACAB #DefundThePolice} and the “riot” aspect of Shadow of Self. Also, please give me more Steris ^{it worked when I asked for more Shallan!}
• I started Dune. It’s going…better than I expected. Audiobooks definitely help me get through dense sci-fi/fantasy books.
• I’m being better about DNFing books rather than rage reading them. Not catching my interest? That’s fine, but I’m not going to waste time on it.
• Started Priory of the Orange Tree too. Not quite what I expected ^{I somehow missed there were going to be dragons, despite there being one on the cover, and I’m not a huge dragon girl} but I’ll definitely be continuing it ^{also, I actually own the ebook, so that helps.}
