    I'm currently reading Mistborn and was listening to your answers as I was washing the dishes... A feeling of panic took over when you said "Mistborn" and "spoilers" and I couldn't touch my phone with wet hands. 😂 I miraculously managed to avoid the spoiler though haha.

    I actually really liked La Belle Sauvage, but I am definitely hyped for the secret commonwealth which will take place after the his dark materials series!!! maybe I just liked Malcome xD

    Unrelated to the topic, I just wanted to thank you for recommending Red Sister. I have read The Prince of Thorns from that author and did not like it and did not continue the series but your explanation why you liked this one made sense and I just finished Grey Sister and thank you :)
    I agree with Elantris and Warbreaker as great novels for starting fantasy. The first novel I have read from Brandon Sanderson is Elantris and it is a very good representation of his other novels.

      I Dnf the Prince of Thornes after reading half of it
      Mark Lawrence is a terrific writer
      And i love morally dark characters (Joe Abercrombie fan here)
      But unlike other Grimdark books that i've read i just found that i had a hard time digesting the escapades of a protagonist with no redeeming qualities. There's some really dark humor in there which i get. But i just couldn't get behind a character (Jorg) that, for example brags about raping young farm girls.
      Im told that the other books in the Broken Empire series get better and make you understand Jorg a bit more.
      But im just not sure if i want to at this point.

    Glad to hear Emily St John Mandel brought up again! She has three other books, Last Night in Montreal (her debut), The Singer's Gun and The Lola Quartet. Unlike Station Eleven they're all contemporary crime stories basically so whether you will like them or not is probably going to be a genre thing. I think she also has a new book coming out later this year or next year

    • @nyxian_grid

      @Jenbebookish 5 лет назад

      Omg yes I totally agree! And you’re so right @Liliana F! We spend so much more time with the one she doesn’t end up with! So the other one seems so much more just...I dunno. Boring,? Undeserving? Superficial? I even had a little crush on The Komizar at one point! (But of course only before he did the thing.) I was hoping the whole time tho that he (the one she didn’t end up with) would get a consolation prize in some way, I was praying he’d end up falling for the girl he DID end up with because at least I could feel better about his situation and not feel so bad for him. I felt like it happened a liiiittle fast, to go from being so crazy in love with Lea to falling for somebody else. But regardless, I preferred it to having had him wound up alone. It was believable, also because of who/how she was.
      (I tried really hard to not spoil anything! Hope I was successful.)

I don't know how to explain it but I'd rather like it if it ended the other way for some reason. I just didn't ship the couple. And other book is Me Before You, it would be perfectly fine without the second book, in my opinion. Me After You disappointed me actually.

Uff, she definitely had more chemistry with the other one. Now, I don't know whether to keep on reading.. but I think I will and let's hope the story is good.

    With The Remnant Chronicles, I feel like the love story in the first book is sooo basic and one dimensional, and I think that's the point. Everyone in book one is pretending to be someone else so the love story is very skin deep. That being said, I think by the end I like who everyone ended up with. The other love interest guy, I hated as a love interest because he was so possessive that I was hoping he would die in book two.
