So far this read is okay. Not bad, but not really grabbing me or my thing so far. Pausing my read on this for a bit as I was able to renew my loan on it, so need to try and finish some of those I've checked out that I won't be able to renew and are getting to close to return date.

I have really liked this book, though you wouldn't be able to tell from how quickly I've been reading it. As usual in the last few years, books that I can't find on audiobook have been taking me a long time. I stopped reading this book a while back when I got way to busy. Finally picked it back up again and I'm really getting into it, though still having to read it in short stints.

Check out period expired. Have renewed and will finish when I can borrow it again.

I really love the writing, world building and characters in this one. Thinking this will be a 5 out of 5 stars. Only reason I stalled out reading this is I was listening to a audiobook version check out from the library during holiday seasons and with everything going on did not get to finish before the loan expired. I have it on hold again, but as popular as it is will likely be a while till I get it.

So many other books taking precedence over this read, largely not because the book is bad or boring or anything, just that it is SO big and involved, that I often find myself switching over to knock out another book quickly, and then coming back to this one and trying to figure out what is going on again.

Rereading for a sf&f book group discussion. I've read a number of times before, but it never fails how completely & immediately engrossing and immersive this book is. So well written. Yeah it has an issue here and there, but still one of my all time favorite books and solid 5 out of 5 star read.

It's not that I haven't enjoyed this, but it hasn't grabbed me much yet, so found myself wondering to other books. I've read 5 other books since starting this while reading a bit here or there. I must say one scene I just read where Kaladin finds himself in a trap where his powers are removed surrounded by a bunch of Warforms & a gloating Fused and takes them all down with just his fighting skills was KICK ASS!

Good and I'm liking it, but... Just not as much as the previous books. So far. Sanderson has done this to me before though -- where he ends up hitting the ball out of the park for a grand slam near the end of the novel. Have a way to go until I see if that happens here. But so far an enjoyable read is nothing to sneer at.

Going to have to start this book all over again when I finally finish. It has lots of good stuff in it, but I am basically at the point where maybe the first 3rd is what I really need to concentrate on. That being said reading this has been both inspiring and though provoking and re-reading it again I think will only help drive everything home.

It took a little longer to get into this story for me than it did with the Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained story line. So far the Void series, set farther in the future in the Commonwealth's history, is even more complex and detailed, but as a result, once I got my bearings, I am finding the universe addictive and more amazing than the first 2 books.
