Brandon Sanderson is one of the good ones of modern fantasy. He saved the Wheel of Time series after the original author died, bettering many of the original books to boot, and I've been reading a bit of his Stormlight Archive series which promises to be a serious winner.

Wife’s a big fan of his huge uberuniverse.
She’s not a fan of these new graphic novels of his.

Wasnt aware he had a graphic novel series. After looking it up ive never seen it in any of the youtube reviews i watched. Maybe if i like this trilogy ill look into some more.

@Batlord - thoughts on Wheel of Time? Im too intimidated as a newb reader to even try. I still need to get the motivation to give lord of the rings another shot, but my god does it drag. I think if i make it through this trilogy im going to go for Robin Hobbs Liveship Traders and just avoid the the other books because the reviews about the Fitz storyline have been offputting.

The first three books, and to a slightly lesser extent the fourth, in WoT are some of my favorite fantasy books ever, even if the super weird gender dynamics would probably be even more off putting to me now than they were a decade ago. I mean if I noticed them back when I was still possibly watching Fox News it must have been some ****. I'd definitely recommend giving them a shot though. But after that the books start to go nowhere until around seven or eight or whatever they go completely and utterly to **** and drag on the same three or four plot points for like four books. There's literally a book near the end where it takes like 800 pages for one of the main characters to go down a road and if you're still reading by that point it's only out of loyalty.

But even if you don't want to get into that stupidity Eye of the World is a truly great fantasy debut to get into.

And I have books two and three of Hobb's Farseer trilogy but never got very far since I was checking the first out as a library book and I can never concentrate on things and now I'm stuck with two books I can't read yet until I get the first. Seemed good though and I only realized I didn't have the first like a week ago when I got the urge to pick it back up. Will have to look into that.

BTW you should read the Sword of Truth series.

ill booktube it later :)

He wishes!

Gonna pull the trigger on a Stephen King short story collection and I need to know: Night Shift or Skeleton Crew?

Night Shift ffs

Already did. I could get it for like $5 cheaper than Skeleton Crew on Amazon.

Definitely Night Shift. Trust me.
