Wow I'm in that book fog. Finished this arch of the story and just feel drained. While not the best book in the series in my opinion I still enjoyed it. Going to feel rough to wait 10 years (IRL time) for the next visit to main story Roshar. Hopefully the planned novellas and possibly some hints in other Cosmere works will scratch the itch.

Ack. Don't say things like that. Haha.

I finally decided to read the story now that book 5 dropped. I read books 1 and 2 over my Xmas holiday and I'm now about a third of the way through Oathbringer.

I hate to say this, but I'm starting to understand why my partner never finished book 3. I'm really hoping the book picks up. I feel like I'm slogging through so many elements that... I just... don't... care... about. It feels like this monstrosity is so large because the copy editors failed it. BUT, alas, I'm not giving up. There is still too much that I find interesting.

I'm hoping it picks up and that books four and five round things off well.

I don't wanna feel drained. ๐Ÿ˜ญ So much great story potential!

Keep going! It's so worth it IMO.

Haha. I will. I'm stubborn like that, finishing everything I start no matter the cost. ๐Ÿคช

The cost is worth it in my opinion. The ending of book 3 is one of those endings that I wish I could go back a re read for the first time again. Enjoy :)

Ooh. Well that's genuinely promising.
