Eat any good books lately?

[clockwork5]

read Red Rabbit as discussed here not long ago.

It was alright and I liked it but also completely edgeless and 2 dimensional. 6.5/10. But I did like it.

Yeah I gave it 3 stars. I thought some scenes were well done but overall I’d def agree on the 2 dimensional critique. The group just kind of passes through from one place to the next, things happen to them and then they get to where they are going and the expected happens at the end. I liked it but rarely felt any impact from the story or characters. 

I’ve got a handful of chapters left in the latest Stormlight book and I have some thoughts. Gotta finish it before I can really judge it as a whole because I really think Sanderson shines on his endings and though all of the greater Cosmere stuff and the dense magic/history/gods/heralds/radiants/spren stuff isn’t my favorite part of these books, he always plays off of what the reader has learned in a fun way at the end and kind of retroactively makes all that stuff more enjoyable. So yeah, almost done with this beast. The slow parts didn’t bore me as much they did in the last book and though the pacing is also better, I don’t think it is going to reach the highs of the first two books for me. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Going to finish it this weekend.
