You just convinced me to listen to book 4.

He lost me by the end of book 3 and I gave up on the series. I'll give it another shot.

RoW picked up for me at the halfway point. It was around then that things

Rhythm of War is different but by the end it might be one of his literary best.

I keep hearing that. I’m excited to finish it. Sanderson always does knock it

Way of Kings is my favorite. I absolutely love the others, but WOK is a classic

The further Sanderson gets away from grounded characters and settings, the less

This explained perfectly how I’m feeling about where the books are going

That's how I feel about fantasy in general. They have to seem more human

His law about magic systems explains this perfectly: "Weaknesses, limits and costs are more interesting than powers."

We must have read completely different books. I fail to see how you can say

Hoid

This is my take as well.

I loved the last half of Oathbringer. The first half was a bit sluggish.

Dalinar went from a character I was "meh" on to somebody I really like now after

Hoid

1/22/21 10:56pm

Dalinar is my second favorite Cosmere character, after you

Coop

Who's your first?

Linkcoug

1. Hoid, 2 (tie) Vasher and Dalinar

Coop

1. WoR, 2. RoW, 3. Oathbringer, 4. WoK. Ranking is hard, b/c I love all of them.

Hoid

1/22/21 10:45pm

I think I agree. I used to have Oathbringer last, but on my last reread I think

I generally really like them when the narrative is current.

Oh joy... I love listing things. But here we go anyways (best to "worst")

Still haven’t finished Oathbringer. Started and stopped now about 10 x. Boooring

Fargo

It’s a slog. I liked it much better the second time. But it takes some doing.

Future_Tacos

1/23/21 12:06am

2nd time through was much better for me too

The Dark Knight

1/23/21 5:50am

1. WoK, 2. WoR, 3. Rhythm, 4. Oathbringer

The Dark Knight

One of the most pleasant surprises for me in RoW (spoilers)

Agreed
