Lord of Chaos: Book Six of 'The Wheel of Time' | Robert Jordan

so-so

It 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.

Roary47 Nice! If I had one my son would just throw dirt in it for funsies. 🤣 2d

AlaMich A reading pool?!?! How did I never think of that? Except it would probably freak out our poor neurotic greyhound and he might never set paw in the backyard again! (edited) 2d

JacqMac @Roary47 🤣 2d

JacqMac @AlaMich That‘s pretty neurotic. You wouldn‘t want to traumatize the poor guy. 🤣 2d

kspenmoll What a fantastic idea!!!! 2d

mcctrish I had a pool like this to read in forever, I loved it 2d

Meshell1313 What a perfect day- sun, fun and Sanderson! 2d

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?!

Leniverse The shardblade clearly came from her brother. But I'm curious as to why it doesn't take ten heartbeats to summon! 2d

Leniverse I was So Worried that Shallan would make the wrong choices and end up in Sadeas' camp! I guess that could still happen, but it seems much less likely with what she now knows. Not that this was the only stressful thing about this part. Bloody hell 😅 2d

Meshell1313 Oooh her brother! Interesting! I take notes for each part so I don‘t get ahead with our discussions - the end of part 2 is crazy! I love Shallan‘s growth and keep hoping that Jasnah is alive. I‘m again like “Sanderson wouldn‘t kill her off right?” But that‘s what he does. Tortures me. And I am living for Kaladin and Shallan meeting! I was like finally! 2d

Leniverse I mean, it makes sense, right? In the flashbacks there's the brother that has a shardblade, but I don't think we've heard about him in the present timeline, so I figure he's dead, maybe in confrontation with their dad, Shallan took the blade, killed the dad, and somehow she insta-bonded with the blade. 2d

Leniverse And I wonder how the second meeting between Shallan and Kaladin will go 😂 (I keep almost writing Shaladin and Kallan and that annoys me because I don't ship those two together) 😆 2d

JacqMac @Leniverse Oh, the brother. That makes total sense. I also can‘t wait for the next meeting. And I secretly hope Jasnah is okay. 2d

rabbitprincess Holy smokes! Shallan summoning the Shardblade was EPIC! I had somehow forgotten about the brother, but that seems a plausible source for her ability. And whoa, the bit with Eshonai taking on Stormform! Interesting that even the Storm Rider has limits to his power. Isn‘t she supposed to be parleying with Dalinar soon? If so, he is in for a surprise 😅 2d

Leniverse @rabbitprincess I think the peace talks just got cancelled 😂😬 1d

JacqMac @Leniverse 🤣 1d

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

My #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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

JacqMac

rabbitprincess WOW! I am in awe of your finishing this book so quickly! Thanks for the tip re Part 5 😄 6d

AnnCrystal 🚂📚👏🏼🥳💝. 6d

JacqMac Wow! How are you already finished?! And now I really can‘t wait to have enough time to read more. lol 5d

Leniverse Since you've already finished I'm giving myself leave to just read on this week if I feel it hard to pause after part three 😂 2d

Meshell1313 @Leniverse totally! I take notes after each part so I don‘t get confused for our discussions! I‘m dying for everyone to finish so we can discuss part 5! 😂 2d

I‘m posting this tonight, because I‘m going to be really busy for the next couple of days and I didn‘t want to forget. Was that not an amazing first part?! I was happy and sad and anxious. So many surprises! I can‘t wait to see where Sanderson takes us next.

Leniverse I'm having the opposite problem to book one - I read this part in two days and didn't want to stop! Fortunately those two days were Sunday and Monday, so I didn't have to stop for long 😂 Looking forward to going back in this afternoon 1w

Meshell1313 Agreed! I love that it picked up right where we left off and that I couldn‘t put it down. I still have many questions about the spreen and how they come to be but I‘m ready for our story lines to converge!!! 1w

Leniverse @Meshell1313 Yes! I am looking forward to Shallan getting there. Will she get along with Adolin? Will Pattern and Syl get in a fight, since there's apparently some animosity between those two types? Will Kaladin confront Amaram, and if so who will Dalinar side with? Will Amaram's appearance lead to Kaladin deciding not to reveal his abilities to Dalinar? Hoping for answers in the next episode of Soap 😂 1w

rabbitprincess Just finished Part 1 and am both pleased and upset that there was a classic Sanderson « holy shit! » moment in this part. Pleased because he does these moments well, upset because Jasnah was killed ? Proud if Shallan for managing on her own. I liked the interlude as well because we finally get to see some of the Parshendi/listener culture. 1w

rabbitprincess @Leniverse love the Soap reference 😂 1w

Leniverse @rabbitprincess Yes, the Parshendi/Listener interlude was interesting. Now if we can only get an Interlude from that Herald who turned up at the end of the previous book some things might start to make sense! ? As for the "holy shit" moment I'm not sure whether to be relieved to get it out of the way or nervous about who he will kill off at the end of this book ? 1w

JacqMac @rabbitprincess @Leniverse @Meshell1313 Soap! 🤣 I was so shocked that he killed someone in the very first part. But I do love that he always surprises me. I hope Shallan still gets to marry Adolin. I want to see that power couple. 1w

rabbitprincess @JacqMac @Leniverse @Meshell1313 I wonder what will happen if Shallan and Kaladin and « their » sprens meet! 1w

The Way of Kings | Brandon Sanderson

pick

Probably a 3.75/5 overall because I am out of practice reading big chunky books in general and haven‘t read much epic fantasy specifically. Took me longer to get into than the Mistborn series, but I still enjoyed it a lot (and am already reading the next book in the series).

Age of Death | Michael J. Sullivan

pick

A solid installment, though it definitely feels like a middle book and a little long/repetitive at times. It is still great to be back with these characters, though I am very concerned about their well being at the end of this book. 4⭐️

Happy Tuesday! Here is the reading schedule for Words of Radiance. I think it‘s going to be a good one. I just started it and I already have so many questions! I can‘t put it down.

Leniverse I have to say I'm glad we didn't start with this series. I would have likely bailed on The Way of Kings after two or three hundred pages and never picked up another Sanderson book again 😬 But as it is, I am eager to continue the series. 2w

JacqMac @Leniverse I feel the same way. I totally would have bailed and I never would have understood why people love them. lol 2w

Meshell1313 I am also loving this one already. So glad it‘s not as slow going as Way of Kings and just kind of picks up right in the middle of the action! 2w

rabbitprincess I can‘t find where I saw this, but I read something where Brandon said that it‘s better to read The Way of Kings once you trust him as an author 🤣 2w

rabbitprincess I started this one on the weekend and wow, what an opening line! 2w

JacqMac @rabbitprincess He‘s not wrong. 🤣 2w
