Towers of Midnight by: Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson [no direct spoilers] Yes, I’m a slacker of a fantasy fan. I did not have the book on launch day – because I pre-ordered a signed copy and, you know, mail takes time. I did not finish the book in 24 hours – I wanted to savor it. [...]

The Way of Kings by: Brandon Sanderson Let’s just get this out of the way: FIVE STARS It was awesome. There will be minor spoilers in this review, so click out now if that’s your thing. So, what makes it awesome? What doesn’t! By that I mean: not a single chapter, and maybe not even [...]

So, I’m about 200 pages into The Way of Kings. That’s about 1/5 of the way through for you fraction geeks (I know you exist!), but I don’t feel like doing the actual division because I’m not a decimal geek. So take that! OK, I’m kind of lying. I do like decimals. I like the [...]

So let’s just get this out of the way first: It’s good. Quite good. Only once or twice have I stopped to [...]

Warbreaker by: Brandon Sanderson His latest, although evidently it was written a while ago, or something. He also released early drafts of it on the web for free. I probably should have checked them out, to see more about how his process went but I hate reading books on computer. So. Yeah this was good, [...]

I hate knowing about author’s personal lives because it makes me harder to enjoy their books knowing they were written by a douche. Good thing I wasn’t particularly motivated to read any of his new books anyway – although I did see Ender in Exile on the shelf recently and at least made a mental [...]

by: Brandon Sanderson Oh my god – an epic fantasy series that actually finished not only in a timely manner, but within the bounds of my lifetime! But let’s not congratulate the author only for that small feat – he also deserves praise for writing an awesome book & series. The quality of writing in [...]

by: Brandon Sanderson Interestingly, I couldn’t find an image of the cover I have (the paperback), this one is from the hardcover. This is probably the best new fantasy book I’ve read in a while. Not that that says much, because I don’t read much new fantasy. It’s at least as good as George R.R. [...]
