I love all the enthusiasm and excitement you have for your upcoming reads. I'm really looking forward to hear your thoughts on all of them in the future. I have a quite similar experiemce with Wheel of Time, although I've only read the first 5 so far, but the one chapter a day thing is how those work for me as well. But normally I only read one of them per year. As I want to do a Cosmere re-read this year, the Stormlight books are on my tbr as well. I haven't read Rhythm of War yet, so now I'm quite intrigued (and a little scared) after having heard your first reading experience. Regarding Ken Liu, I've read the first two books, when they came out, but somehow never followed up on the series. I think at one point (maybe next year?) I'm going to re-read the first two and finish the series. I've tried City of Brass, but it wasn't for me; Blood Song was a 5 star book for me and I'm kust in the middle of his Covenant of Steel series as well and hope to finish The Martyr this weekend; I loved both books by Nicholas Eames and hope that Outlaw Empire really hits the shelves this year; I also loved the whole Faithful and the Fallen series by John Gwynne. I hope that you're going to enjoy everything you read! :)
thank you so much!! I'm super excited to start these books and I love knowing you enjoyed some that are on my list, that helps me be even more motivated to prioritize them! I know a lot of people really enjoyed rhythm of war, I just felt the tone was more depressing and it felt overly long, but Navani was a super interesting point of view! I definitely recommend continuing with Dandelion Dynasty, it so good! And I hope you enjoy covenant of steel! I can't wait to read blood song!!
I picked up the Wheel of Time at the start of the month and my plan is to hopefully finish one a month. My goal originally was to do half this year, but I'm scared of ending on the "slump" and then never picking it up again. I planned for only 20 books this year since I've also got Stormlight 5 to read through and I'd like to reread the series before the conclusion. I'm now realizing I've probably planned way too many books and should probably just plan for maybe 5 or 6 WOT books, especially since I've been sprinkling in other shorter books during the day and reading WOT before bed. Anyway, fun list!
Also I remember reading theft of swords and didn't really enjoy it...but I hadn't ever read fantasy at that point in my life so maybe I just wasn't in the right mind set.
Thanks! And I did the same thing where I read a little WoT at night, I've just always been worried about getting burned out, and the slog is so real 😂 I hope you enjoy the books though! I can't say I love them but they have a classic fantasy story feel to them that makes it enjoyable, but the series probably could've been cut down a little. I initially dnfed Theft of Swords so I am curious to see if a second try will help but I've seen so many positive reviews for it, although maybe I'm not crazy if you felt the same 😂
Dandelion dynasty is amazing. I'm glad you're enjoying them!!
Thank you and I have become obsessed with the series!!
Theft of Swords is worth trying again. I really like all of Sullivan's works, and Royce is one of my favorite literary characters. :)
thats good to know! I see a lot of positive reviews for Sullivans work and I want to be excited too, I will definitely be giving this another try! 😂

Yay! That makes me happy to know, I'm excited to read them!

I just finished book 9 of WOT, and I also hope to finish the series by the end of the year.... Or at least get through the slog🤣.
The slog is real! But I really want to finish so bad, you're close as well!!
Read Sword of Truth Series. Terry Goodkind will be alive and well 100 years from now... the rest will be Salieri's
Thank you for the recommendation, I'll check it out!
