Welcome to Litsy!

Probably my favorite in the series so far. We start to see the characters mature and grow. Still some "these characters are so stubborn" redundancy. But not overly annoying yet. I liked that we got to hear a little bit more about the current state of the Two Rivers (I had been wondering). And that we got to learn a bit more about Aiel culture. Jordan clearly put a lot of thought into making distinct cultures for all the regions/countries.

A soft pick. This series has become more engaging as it continues. I forgot to do a review of this one and am already on Book 5. With this series, I think there are a lot of plot holes or things that aren't necessarily explained well. But I enjoy how the characters are written. They all have distinct personalities and it is interesting to see how they struggle with various situations where it is not immediately clear what's the "right" thing to do

A friend recently gave me a bunch of his mom‘s costume jewelry. She had a huge, loud collection that I‘ve started to transform into suncatchers and wrist tethers for phones.

I‘m so, so close to the end of DUST OF DREAMS. While the series has featured rape from the get-go, this instalment feels ESPECIALLY rapey, with plenty of misogynistic overtones even when people aren‘t violating each other. That‘s soured me on the whole thing. #audiocrafting

Finally! I have been waiting for the story of Dalinar‘s missing memories. And that chapter with Shallan and Wit… perfection.

I took a break from manual labour to make apple cheddar scones. They‘re not so photogenic, but they sure do taste good. #audiobaking

I‘ve done so much manual labour this weekend that I‘m 36% into DUST OF DREAMS, a 44-hour audiobook, after only two days. Even at 3x, that‘s a LOT.

Also, all my muscles are sore. Like, really, ALL of them.

When I wasn‘t manually labouring, I also managed to finish this book nook I lucked into at the local Amazon returns store. It was only $10, instead of $50-70! Good times. #audiocrafting

Surprisingly I enjoyed this one. We‘ll see if that lasts but I‘m not holding my breath.

I‘m still really liking this one. Except… the Dalinar visions are getting old. I could edit those out and be pretty happy still. But I won‘t. I‘m sure they are worth it later. Thankfully I love all the time we spend with bridge four, so it‘s helping me to get through the less interesting parts. #CosmereBuddyRead

It is time ☺️

This is a bit of a hard one for me.

It was a pick for me because I still enjoyed the ride, the characters, the lush world, and the new revelations... but at the same time, I do understand why a lot of Stormlight fans struggled with this one. It felt a little heavy handed at times and the ending didn't have the payoff a lot of readers hoped for.

But personally, I still enjoyed every moment.
