I used to love multi-generational historical fiction, but now it's become so cliché... 😔

John Mauro is on page 100 of 868 of A Day of Fallen Night (The Roots of Chaos, #0.1)
So far this is consistent with Priory of the Orange Tree in terms of its high-quality writing and alternating perspectives among the South, East, and West. A lot of exposition up front, but I am becoming invested in the story.

John Mauro is 50% done with The Book That Wouldn’t Burn (The Library Trilogy, #1)
Reading The Book That Wouldn't Burn is like having your mind blown in slow motion. 🤯 It's SFF, but it also transcends SFF.

The length of this book is inflated by so many unnecessary blank pages/title pages.

Kian N. Ardalan's writing repeatedly soars to a Mark Lawrence level of eloquence. 😍

"The coat found its way around my shoulders and, for a moment, Father's scent wrapped me up and comforted me. It smelt of abuse and dependency, of confusion. I found it nostalgic."

The name of the series, Mistland, recalls Mistborn. But, honestly, I prefer Kian Ardalan's world.

Kian N. Ardalan shares Sanderson's skill at combining epic worldbuilding with a deeply personal focus on character emotions. 👍🏻

There's some Sanderson-level worldbuilding happening here, but with a much darker, murkier tone.

John Mauro is on page 120 of 640 of The Grace of Kings (The Dandelion Dynasty, #1)
Initial thoughts: The worldbuilding is already epic in this book, and I love the airships. However, so far the author is keeping his characters at arm's length. I hope this changes soon.

John Mauro is 50% done with Red Seas Under Red Skies (Gentleman Bastard, #2)
This book starts off strong but then just meanders. It's missing the heart of the first book.
