I’m a big fantasy fiction nut. TWOK by Sanderson has been recommended to me countless times. I really enjoyed part one, Kaladin and Shallan’s stories.

The interludes were really tough for me to even be interested in, and now in part 2 it’s just really boring me. Idk should I push through? The story telling of the first part was great and it sucked me in, part 2 is proving to be boring and tedious.

Any thoughts?

    I really value a book which trims its fat and maintains a strong pacing throughout. A Wizard of Earthsea has a breakneck pace and zero filler, describing an epic voyage in the span of 185 pages; meanwhile, Titus Groan takes a long time to relate the plot to you…but every scene is important and engrosses you in the depths of the characters. Even that book is shorter than Mistborn.
