Oooh I really need to get on my Stormlight reread, it will be December before we know it dammit 🤣And I agree, Edgedancer is absolutely not awesome, lol. Also, loved hearing you gush about Letters to the Luminous Deep, because I was nervous after some mixed reviews. I trust your tastes blindly though, so I am going to read that asap!! Happy reading 🥰

Oof , that's a lot of pages to do by December but if anyone can do it you can lmao. Yeah....friggin Edgedance. I need to note down somewhere if/when I reread Stormlight someday I can totally skip it. I didn't know Letters to the Luminous Deep had mixed reviews. It was so cute, so that's probably where people have an issue because it's not like just wholesome cute, it's like awkward cute and not spicy at all which is not in vogue at the moment

@@RodgersReads Hahahaha I will watch your back and make sure you never feel tempted to reread Edgedancer ever again ;))) And I think Luminous Deep had more to do with the more old-timey Austen-esque writing style that people bounced off, did you feel like it was that heavily stylized?

So glad you are loving Memory, Sorrow and Thorn. One of my favorites. I'll be starting my reread in a couple of months. Then I'll go into the sequel series for the first time so I'll be ready for Navigators Children in Nov. I should be getting my special edition of Stone of Farewell from Grim Oak Press in a few weeks. I can't wait to reread the first 2 books in my special editions. I started my Cosmere reread last month, with Elantris, much later than planned. This was only my second read of Elantris since I first read it in 2017. I just started my partial reread of Arcanum Unbounded a few days ago. I won't be rereading Mistborn stories and will wait to reread Edgedancer until after WoR. I'm definitely going to borrow audiobooks of the first three Stormlight books because this will be my 3rd read through. I'll read physically when I can but also use the audiobooks when I'm working, cleaning, etc. RoW will only be my second read so I will do it physically only. An unpopular opinion,but RoW is my second favorite Stormlight book. I loved the science-ness of it. Lol

Yaaaas the first two books were phenomenal. So far book 3 the jury is still out. I got to the halfway point and swapped to something else for a minute because oh my goodness To Green Angel Tower is LOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGG. I am kind of sad I didn't get the Dragonbone Chair/Stone of Farewell in those nice editions when I had the chance but I hadn't read them at the time and couldn't justify it to myself lol. Yaaaaassssss I hope you have so much fun on your Cosmere reread journey. Its been like a year and a half now of me rereading and it's just been the comforting experience I needed. That makes total sense, Stormlight is also LOOOOOONNNNGGGGGGGG. Rhythm of War is my favorite, we will see if that changes on reread, so I am right there with you on the science of it all just being fun.

@@angelamccollister the edition I have is the huge trade paperback that’s only like 1070 pages or something but it’s 550,000 words, that’s almost 100,000 words longer than the longest Stormlight book….and the audio is 63 hours? Like good lord it’s so long. Like I’m still having fun but I’m definitely feeling the length a little lol

@@RodgersReads I think Sanderson said in his video today that Wind and Truth will be the longest Stormlight book but still not quite as long as To Green Angel Tower. Tad still holds the record for the longest single volume, at least in genre fiction, I think. Not counting something like The Wandering Inn, of course, that is being published in multiple volumes.

Awwww thank you so much for the kind words, needed it today. I am pretty good, have been having the hump of not wanting to post of a few....less than friendly comments I have been getting recently about my voice and the way I speak. I have not read anything by ST Gibson yet, but Evocation does intrigue me so it is definitely within the realm of possibility. Yaaaaas I hope you love Dark Rise and ALTTLD whenever you get to them.

Hmmm....I would say it's more about the characters and the lore is obviously nowhere as deep as WoT, but if you took WoT and made it more King Arthury and made it a little melodramatic like you were adapting it on the CW....that would be Dark Rise haha
