Rereading The Prydain Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander. Great coming of age stories with great cast, low on grue and gore, a lot of action. Fantasy stereotypes galore. High fantasy very much in the vein of LotR books. They’re geared to the young adults but I find them enjoyable as I go through my cancer shite.

The Castle of Llyr

Ripped through first 3 books of Bobiverse in as many days (thank you snow storm). Did anyone else find the shift in narrative structure and style of book 4 jarring? I’m sure it will pick up, but I loved the pacing of the really short POV chapters of the previous books. With Book 4 it shifts hard to longer chapters and much fewer POVs. I understand why as the number of replicants because unwieldy to juggle all the possible plot lines but I’m just not as invested in the boojums and the megastructure as I was in the previous plots.
Without the Others threat, it just feels like a side quest in book 4. Book 5 is better, the dragons are annoying, but it starts feeling like a main story again.

With the Cosomere to AppleTV news guess it's time to start on it, guess I've been putting it off due to its length but it's time.
Googled reading order and the below is what seems recommended, any changes or a different order recommended by the board?
1. Mistborn Era 1 (Mistborn 1, 2, and 3)
2. Warbreaker
3. Stormlight Archives "first arc" ( Stormlight 1, 2, Edgedancer novella, 3, Dawnshard novella, 4)
4. Mistborn Era 2 (4, 5, 6, 7)
5. Standalone Novels (Tress of the Emerald Sea, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, The Sunlit Man)
6. Stormlight 5 Wind and Truth

Your missing Elantris and his Arcanum Unbounded collection of short stories. I’d recommend
Mistborn era 1
Mistborn era 2 (stop at book 6)
Elantris
Warbreaker
Arcanum unbounded
Stromlight 1-4
Mistborn the Lost Metal
The secret project books
Stormlight 5.
Might be missing something there.

My only suggestion would be to wait for Warbreaker until after The Way of Kings. Warbreaker is absolutely my favorite standalone Sanderson novel, and I thought it fit really well when I read it between TWoK and WoR.

I need to try Mistborn again, Book 1 was a tough read for me. I enjoyed the crap out of Stormlight, book 5 took me a bit to get through though.

Just read Old Man’s War. I enjoyed it fairly well, but I don’t feel too compelled to continue with the series. Does it get much deeper in character and world development? It kind of felt like reading a novel about a video game or something with the way the fighting and combat was described and the alien race development felt kind of light (other than the Consu).
Anyway, it’s on Kindle Unlimited, so no harm in me grabbing the second one, but I think I’m going to switch off SciFi for a bit. I read the Bobiverse series in 5 days and the. Immediately went into Old Man’s war, which might have been part of the problem. Started Theo of Golden in the meantime.

I've debated it several times, but know its going to be a hell of a commitment. I've heard stormlight is as good as it gets but have also heard very mixed reviews on Mistborn. Some say its their favorite trilogy ever and some say its highly overrated and actually tough to get through. My cousin read mistborn era 1 and said it was just ok.
Plus he's only about halfway done with it all. Isnt he still supposed to write 2 more mistborn eras and more stormlight?

Yeah, he has 5 more stormlight books and 2 more eras of Mistborn.
After reading the first Stormlight right after it came out, I waited to read Stormlight until that 5 book series was finished (still need to read wind and truth), so I get that myself.
I find the second Mistborn to be the best stuff he's done, but the first trilogy just solid.
Stormlight is very good, but it is a hard series to binge. It could have used some tighter editing.

I’m powering through these. 7 was a little rocky but it picked up again in 8. Started this one today.

Started Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff (part of a 3 book series). It's pretty much post-apocalyptic Victorian fantasy with vampires and half-blood vampire hunters. Really enjoying the world building. Very dark, but I'm digging it.

I'm about halfway through the first book, and I am really enjoying it. To the point that I'm staying up later than I normally do once i get in bed to read at night. I think that the one thing that is a LITTLE weird is that it sometimes feels a little Young Adult in the writing style... but the content is very, very far from Young Adult and is pretty dark and edgy. Maybe the reason it feels a little YA is that in the backstory plotline (it starts in media res with the middle-aged protagonist as a captive and telling his story to a historian), the characters are like 14-15 years old.

Loved those as a kid and have revisited them as an adult and really enjoyed them the second time as well.

Found the series when it was brand new, listen to them all. Rc bray makes is much better. Its a bit derivative, but thr characters are well written.

I haven't read this one by him, I'll need to check it out sometime.
His Nevernight Chronicles trilogy is excellent if you haven't read that though.
