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’ve read 4 and I won’t read another. They’re not my thing. Too slow, not letting his characters grow and essentially just torturing their main flaw or issue book after book, and instead of writing tight books he’s adhering to a structure that weakens the overall narrative by making each “novel” a giant, swollen novel sandwiching a handful of completely unrelated short stories.

      I came out of the first one optimistic thinking it was depressing as hell but the world seemed cool. I read three more hoping they’d make things better, and they’ve just made me stop reading Sanderson.
