Still reading The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 in the series. I am more than halfway through, so should be able to finish it this week.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

There’s a Midyear Bingo check-in post, do take a look. Even if you haven’t started this year’s Book Bingo, you can still join, as there are still 6 months remaining!

For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

I finished Wind and Truth.

Spoilers

So despite the spoiler tag, I’m not going to mention actual details. But I think my impressions themselves could change how someone reads the book, so I’m tagging it anyways.

Wow. Just fucking wow. It’s not at all how I expected shit to go, but holy shit was it a hell of a ride, and the story it set up? Damn.

I need the next 5 books. I hope the timeline of the next setting is sooner than I had been expecting. It feels like a lot of threads that were winding up ripped wide open instead. The end result make the whole 5 book arc feel like a new beginning to something truly absurdly scaled. “There’s always another secret.”

All I’ll say without tags is that as high as my expectations were, he blew them away.

Not going to read the spoilers. May come back in an year or so to look at them though.

Glad to hear that it’s great!

I was probably liberal with the tag, but I’d rather lean towards not impacting the experience at all.

My head was spinning that night with all the possibilities for the second half though. (I definitely didn’t start War of Kings as a physical book immediately after to see what extra details I pick up. That would make me a crazy person.)

Haha, I don’t think it would make you a crazy person, just shows the impact of the final book.

And thanks for being liberal with it, I want to know nothing about it, no matter how small.
