“Warrior thoughts..prepared in your head to counter the bad thoughts when they attack”

Lol you’re kidding …

“‘Flowers grow in the strangest of places, Bartholomew. Even cracks.’”

“The gargoyle leaned close to the water and whispered conspiratorially to his reflection. ‘I’m prettier than that bitch ever was.’”

“Now a new kind of false god walked the path, and, if tonight went to plan, a far worse beast. Me.”

“Now a new kind of false god walked the path, and, if tonight went to plain, a far worse beast. Me.”

Kaladin feels like a completely different character in this book…enjoying Szeth’s backstory though

“You must be taught the Skill, boy. Evil times have come to us, and they will be with us for a long time.”

“‘Hello,’ a voice said in her head. ‘Would you like to destroy some evil today?”’

“‘You cannot tempt a heart that is pure, Nightblood.’ Regardless of how much he explained that concept, it seemed beyond the swords ability to comprehend.”

So far the most scandalous book I’ve read by Sanderson 🫣🫪

“Light, what’s up ahead that can scare what’s behind? Light help me, I’ve never been so afraid. I don’t want to go any further. No further!”

“You might as well stop,” the voice snickered. “One place is as good as another when you aren’t from anywhere, and the Dark One has you marked.”

“It was no hiding place. From a thousand places a watcher could have seen him. Shadow filled the air, but there were no deeper shadows in which to hide.”

Loving it.

Not as much world building happening, the writing isn’t overly detailed or descriptive..but the story has me sucked in and asking a lot of questions. However, I feel like I’ve read a lot of these tropes before and fairly often.

I’m only getting more and more upset with this book..

“And the Shadow fell upon the Land and the World was riven stone from stone. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all overs, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World.”

This series is going to consume me.

Only 90 pages in and this book has got me down bad…it’s SO good

I pick up this book as a way of inflicting self-punishment when I don’t do my chores for the day…first half was interesting, second half is torturously boring…my stubbornness alone is what’s keeping me from abandoning this book…first time reading Stephen King, will undoubtedly be my last…

The beginning started off great, loved the dialogue between the characters. Just past the halfway mark, kinda hitting a slow patch…hoping it ramps back up at the end…and curious to see what happens with that bear in the woods ..

Cringing while reading that one of Radiant’s is using her lightweaving to give herself the appearance of tattoo covered arms and black fingernails…this is supposed to be high fantasy, why are there alt girls in here? 🤨

So far, this is everything that I could ever want a book to be.

Already emotional.
