2025 Reading Challenge discussion

Hi guys. Planning on finishing no 2 then 3. Would like to join you.

I've read this a while ago need to give a reread love Brandon Sanderson writing style

So excited for this, It's going to be a busy month. :-)

I've just finished Book 2 and immediately picked this one up because I have to know what happens after that ending...

Will start on Thursday!

Finished part 1. (view spoiler)[There seems to be less action so far. But, I like that we are getting different point of views and the insights about kandra are very interesting. Marsh's chapters were fascinating as they showed how conflicted he is. (hide spoiler)]

Finished #2. Day off today. Hubby out. Looks like a lovely day to snuggle up and read all day. Looking forward to reading #3 with you all. Josie

Nearly reached Part 4. I am enjoying this but there is a lot more detail than the other books in the series. It was very interesting to find out (view spoiler)[the link between koloss, Inquisitors and kandra and how spikes play a part in some magic systems.
The bits at the start of each chapter (in my copy, they're in italics) - I haven't worked out who the narrator is yet. My best guess is that it's Sazed but I briefly thought it was Spook at one point (hide spoiler)]

I had literally no time to read since the beginning of the month, only squeezing in few minutes during my commute to work and I'm about 10 percent in.

Starting it right now.

I just finished part 1, I'm not moving through as fast as I'd like to, the chapters are pretty interesting but it's a bit slow.

I've finished the book. I agree that it is slow but there was an interesting ending.

Hi ! can i participate this late ? i just started today :)

I finished part 2 just now. I am getting a bit frustrated because some of the POVs are a little boring at the moment and I always get stuck on them. I feel a bit bad saying this but Sazed's moping is hard for me to read and I wish he just snapped out of it.

I finished part 4.
Rachael, my guess about the narrator was (view spoiler)[either Vin or Sazed. (hide spoiler)] Well you know already the real answer since you're finished. ;)
There's a lot of information and some of it kinda went over my head. I hope all will be clear by the end.
I really need to finish it today but not sure I'll be able to, still about 30 percent left and I'm a slow reader. :(

I finished the book this night, I must admit I got a bit emotional over the ending.
How is everyone else doing?

L'm halfway in the book.

Yeah, it was emotional. He wrote such interesting characters. sazed has been my fav from the first book and the ending of this one, made me love him more.

Dominique I really liked Sazed too. I found the ending to be very satisfying.

(view spoiler)[ I had a feeling that Elend was going to die but for Vin too die too, was a surprise. I like that Spook did get a storyline and made him more mature. Got emotional when Sazed was the Hero. I closed the book and was very happy how it ended, Even though they are dead, Elend and Vin are together and still in some ways present and even though Sazed wasn't there, he reunited everybody and on a journey to make the world better (hide spoiler)]

Dominique. I couldn't have said it better myself.
(view spoiler)[ Although the opposite for me. I thought Vin would die or become "not human" and Elend would live. But I think it is a better ending that they died together. (hide spoiler)]
First time using the spoiler edits. Hope they work...

Did everyone finish the book?
