The first half of this book is an absolute slog, which is crazy because we're like 5,000+ pages into this series. BrandoSando made a strategic error, imo, by committing himself to real-time story-telling. This requires him to set this entire novel over the course of just ten days! Why???
I fell behind on this part for a bit. Summer is so busy. And so hot. Yuck. I‘m just finishing up the interludes today. But that was an action packed section wasn‘t it? And I loved the scene with Wit. I hope there is more of that to come. #CosmereBuddyRead
I hit 26% with REAPER‘S GALE while I assembled a tiny train that‘ll fit into a book nook. I found the last book kind of tedious, so I‘m glad this one returns to the characters and settings from my favourite volume. (The place sounds like Letheri, but I probably spelled it wrong. The enduring issue with audio.) Still, I won‘t emerge from this series a Malazan superfan. I like it enough to continue but not enough to rave about it all. #audiocrafting
These chunky fantasies really do put your wrists to the test! 834 pages!!
so-soIt took me all month but I finically finished a book.
This was one of my #bookspin #doublespin picks for June.
I really liked the first book in this series but everything after that has been just ok. This one picked up a little bit and I was intrigued by some of the part but for the most part we continue on the just ok path.
I do own the entire series so I will continue but I kind of just want it to be over already.
Hubby likes to buy me weird gifts that I might love just because I‘m weird. I love my new reading pool! It has just enough water to stay cool while getting a little sun. The hardest part is not getting too much sun. I just need him to bring me drinks now.
Happy Canada Day! This one is getting really hard to put down between parts. But I make myself because I want to avoid posting spoilers. lol I‘m very interested to see where things go now that Shallan and Kal have met. And just where did that Shardblade come from?!

This month I managed to read the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, 3 Camp Litsy books, the Belladonna series and STILL my favorite of the month is yet another Brandon Sanderson #CosmereBuddyRead book. I‘m obsessed. But Onyx Storm is still on its way to being my favorite of the year. If Sanderson begins to include dragons then Yarros might be in trouble. 🤣 #readingbracket2025
pickMy #CosmereBuddyRead peeps- I am literally screaming!!!! I had 7 hours on a round trip train ride for a quick DC trip so I accidentally finished this. Screaming. Just Wow. Pro tip- don‘t start part 5 until you are ready to read it in one sitting. I couldn‘t stop. I have sooo many thoughts and cannot wait for the ending discussion. I ❤️ Kaladin. That‘s it. It gets all the stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
