I really liked the first in Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series, The Way of Kings, so of course I went all in and requested the second from the library before I was even finished the first. I almost had regrets – I have a pile of Christmas book exchange books waiting for me, each of them so tempting. But, the book came quickly, I already owe $25 in library fines, and so I got started. At the end of the first book, the stage was […]
“That was, perhaps, the most unfeeling proposal she could imagine. The man was cynical, insensitive, condescending, rude. And she was definitely going to marry him.”
Guys this book? Is so good. That I’m mad that the next book in the series doesn’t come out for months. (MONTHS! August is a lot of months away.)

I think I’m getting the hang of reading now :) I really liked the main character (Joe) in book one, so I’m going to keep reading until I don’t. He was a defense lawyer in book one, and he was burning out at the end. Now he’s a prosecutor. His very first case is a Satanic slaughter of a whole family. It’s […]
