Chapter 24 is fire. This shit is NOT a slog. I think people only say that because when these were getting published they were shorter and taking longer to come out. Once again I am attacking First Law for being a slog. And, might I add The Licanius Trilogy lmao. Jordan at least knows how to keep his characters interesting.

BOLD statement. I’ve seen so many books talking about slog (and to be fair I’m doing the audiobooks during work) but this isn’t so bad. Lord of Chaos up to Path of Daggers has been fine. I fear for Crossroads of Twilight, however. If you want talk about slog…First Law series comes to mind. Only halfway bearable part was Glotka’s POV.

Eh it’s a bit boring. Only good parts are Rand and Mat plotlines so far. I love how Mat is trying to figure out how to make this world’s guns lol.

Dumai’s Wells going wild. It’s crazy how good he can do certain things yet make most characters so unbearable with all the misogyny and misandry it just gets old.

For a 1700s Chinese novel…it feels kind of modern? It’s starting off really strong.

The worldbuilding is already way cooler than The Martian. But I detest the humor and characters are super flat.

This shit is bonkers

This book already is a 4 or 5 star holy shit. If it ends strong it’s a 5 star

Damn the quality between the first book and this one is a major step up. Also Caeden is the best viewpoint by far.

Oh man is this picking up holy shit

I have no words…

Chapter 11 OH MY GOD. I haven’t been this enamored with characters in a long time.
