Book Review: Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson

Book #176 of 2024: Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson (The Stormlight Archive #5) [Disclaimer: I am Facebook friends with this author.] Another 1300-page epic fantasy tome that very nearly justifies its massive length. (I listened to the audiobook on 2.5x speed, which still took literally 24 hours to complete.) The extended climax of this …

Book Review: The Way of Kings Prime: A Sanderson Curiosity by Brandon Sanderson

Book #103 of 2024: The Way of Kings Prime: A Sanderson Curiosity by Brandon Sanderson [Disclaimer: I am Facebook friends with this author.] This is not The Way of Kings, the debut novel in the series The Stormlight Archive that author Brandon Sanderson published in 2010.

Author Brandon Sanderson has always been juggling a lot of plots, characters, and worldbuilding …

Book Review: Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson

Book Review: Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson (The Stormlight Archive #2) This Stormlight Archive sequel is much better and more eventful than the first one, which could seem like just a massive prologue in a lot of ways.
