I’m EXCITED for this one

A great portrait of a pretty chill uni student so far

INSTANTLY I know I’m gonna love this book

Wow I hate everyone

Actually enjoying this book sooo much already

This is a crazy realistic fantasy novel, and I’m saying that in a good way

Tensions rising

Crazy world building

Oh crap I’m hooked

Oooo vibey

What prose

The horrors of academia are real

Hell is a campus.

Veeeery cool so far

“Ah, Sixth,” Dajer said. “You have no idea what an Invested entity even is, do you? To you it’s some god of myth.”

“It ate your ship,” Dusk said. “I will worship it over you.”

Cold.

The cosmere niche is niche-ing.

I’m determined to finish this before its July 10th release date.

Got it early since I backed it as part of the Words of Radiance leather-bound crowdfund. Holy crap, the cosmere implications are wild right off the bat.

Meticulous. The machinations grow in complexity.

Much faster pace than book one, I must say. Still supremely character-driven in a great way.

Jumped into this immediately. i’m trying this new thing where I complete trilogies in one go.

I’m already enjoying this book.

I think the plot for this book can be summarised by: things happening to characters while geo-political tensions rise. Some characters have narrow motivations, others don’t even have that. Others still, their motivations are shrouded in mystery.

But their personalities? Their struggles? Impeccably vivid. Its goddamn entertaining is what it is.

Sometimes i wonder what kind of person Logen Tenfingers would’ve been.

Despite there not being an explicit overarching plot, there IS so much momentum. I love it.

Great character work, they’re all insane.

I was thinking whoa this book is intricate with its plotting, but slow. Then… things happened.

Flying. Absolutely flying.

Before 2024, I was terrible at reading sequels. I think I had a natural resistance to seeing a story read to completion. Maybe I’m not a fan of things ending, or maybe it’s the commitment part of it all.

Its nice to wax poetic about this sort of thing. The truth is I’m one lazy idiot, and Brandon Sanderson is the opposite of that, and he writes a 100 books a year, and I suck at catching up. Well not anymore.
