Just finished Calamity.


Spoiler :
Not really a fan of the series.

Megan was the worst tsundere I've ever... read about / seen. If you are going to be a bitch, YOU STICK TO BEING A BITCH UNTIL THE END

The actual plot of the book didn't really surprise me at any of its plot twists. Saw the ending coming, Didn't see who was Calamity but again, I wasn't shocked.

The book also didn't really have the same kind of humour that Brandon Sanderson has in Stormlight, Elantris, and The mistborn trilogy(x2)

And again, the first person narrative. I wasn't a fan of it.

Spoiler :
BUT I FUCKIN' PIRATED THE BOOK SO NO LOSS FOR ME :>

It is not.

It's a vampire story where the vampires actually kill lots of people.

Also in the middle of The Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson, the guy who finished of The Wheel of Time series when the original author died. Very entertaining writer, easy to read, well paced books.

Brandon Sanderson's Way of Kings is a good read too.

I wish I never started reading this series. The wait for sequels is going to be painful.

SO. While I've realised I love Brandon Sanderson's writing style / "mind" , I'm running out of his books to read (currently have two cliff hangers that he hasn't finished writing for yet)

But I need more.

Oh God, Do I Need More.

Someone please help me climax and give me more books to read.

Just finished reading Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson. Really good, stand alone novel set in his cosmere. One of the most interesting and unique magic mechanics I've seen.

Related to *juice*. The Orz like *sauce*, which they seem to acquire through killing: "After the *dancing*, Orz think you will make good *special sauce*. Maybe even for other Orz *party*." It would seem this is likely to be something sinister. The Orz apparently wish those who take part in *parties* to enjoy the *sauce*, as in the above quote, or in their parting words from random encounters: "Do not forget to *enjoy the sauce*."

Warbreakers the one with the gods right? Really enjoyed that, but I'm unsure if he's ever going to make a #2 or not.

Waiting for the new book for stormlight. Loving those books although from memory they're going to do the next 3 books as different characters, and i'm not a fan of the general.

Also read Kvothe the bloodless / kingkiller chronicles. Loved them, just have to wait for 3# to come out.

as well as JUST finishing (what's been produced so far) of the farseer trilogy. Really enjoyed these books. There are 3 - set with different characters I think - that I haven't read which take place between the first 3 and last 3 books. Maybe i'll put it on my list.
Any other book I've read has been pretty shit / average tier. The magicians, especially. Don't read it, It's shit.
