Whoops! I haven't updated in awhile. I am really enjoying this reread. I found so many m did not nearly remember as I did in the first half, but man it is so good to recount and revisit chapters with the knowledge of the whole series now. I'm loving this.

There is such a theme about how we see giving and taking. Who provides and who consumes and is there an in between. I love revisiting this series so far. I get to explore more of the peripheral parts.

I’m on a roll. Great to be back. I’m so happy to be in this world again. These characters give me so much hope and so much love in my life. Kaladin is easily my favorite character in all of fantasy. His mindset is so similar to mine and the way he deals with despair and depression is so close to my heart. He gives me hope.

Dalinar and Adolin!!! Also the interludes are so cosmere connected. I’m so glad to be back after reading all of the cosmere it makes a lot of sense. I’m so excited and motivated to continue.

Wow this is already such a therapeutic experience. The beginning used to be laborious. Now I appreciate how it introduces the characters in this world.

I read 300 pages last week and decided to take a break on it. Now I’m feeling it again after reading some Hemingway so I’m gonna start slow. I’m really mood reading right now. I have an audible cred I’m saving for words of radiance.

It’s getting better. This might be bad to say given I’m not even halfway in, but i don’t understand all the hype. It’s good! Trust me it is, but I’ve seen people say it’s the best book ever. It’s not bad at all. I’m just at a part where it feels like the book is stilllllll warming up. Except Kaladin he’s on the right track.

Blown away by the world building and the absolute size of this world. Overwhelming at times but it definitely sucks you in!
