Yep. Evelyn Woods disciples - all.

I'm listening to it. So far it's good.

The prologue is good. Interesting reveals. That’s all I’ve got so far.

I thought it was great! Gives you everything you’d expect for a midpoint.

I’ve been struggling to get into this one. Seems to be a lot of “dating” of the

Agreed. All the overt modern therapy themes and language made it clunky and distracting

It was very weak. The sidelining of Kaladin’s character especially was dumb. The gay, interspecies kissing was gross.

I did enjoy the expansion of the mythology with more background on the shards and history of the Knights Radiant

Dec 26, 7:00pm

Wow. I disagree. I thought it wasn't gay enough!

Wait, there's no Kaladin? That's like taking Luke or Han out of Star Wars.

Kaladin’s there, but he isn’t quite as prominent as in some of the other books

I liked it a lot. I’ve seen some reviews that were a little less enthusiastic

Good book, but maybe the weakest in the series

Half way through. So far, too much psycho-babble moping and the PC is pretty

He needs to ditch his super PC editor, honestly. I roll my eyes at the

Just listening to the foreword. He has a huge staff of editors and beta readers

cougarstrong

He listens to them too much. Needs to take the WoK route.

Adolin is pretty awesome in this one and is outside all of that. Maybe he’ll be

I started it, and so far it is all about mental health

Dec 26, 7:27pm

Better than Rhythm of War, worse than the rest. Stormlight is in this tricky

Bainge

Hot take: Mistborn series is much better than Stormlight Archive.
