[QUOTE=Bobgnarley;1473872081]Is The Stormlight Archive worth reading? I've read a chapter or two but I'm having trouble sticking with it.[/QUOTE]
After a few more days reading I can't believe I wrote this. I am hooked!

Fuk yes.

yup. But he apparently plans to take a break after the first five.
There might be a time leap between 5 and 6

[QUOTE=FrazettaSilke;1474180741]das not it man :(
Hate to say it, but it's not worth the money if you're looking for more than a Sunday afternoon read. I certainly enjoyed it though, brought back some good childhood memories[/QUOTE]
breh, i'm up to book 2 and even this series has political intrigue but for kids? wtf is wrong with this world.

Yeah the 2nd book kinda went downhill with that stuff. Fools Gold, on the other hand, is just about a gang of misfits. Granted, there is some of the usual "nobles are awful, they literally chit on us" stuff, but there's really no political plot. Check that one out

Brahs, I'm reading the second book of the KingKiller Chronicles and [spoiler]I'm wondering when it picks up. I read the first (Name of the Wind) and while it was certainly interesting, not all that much happened.
Now I'm early on the in the second one, and kinda just more of the same. It's pretty danged mundane with him at the Academy. I can only read about his studies, and making stuff at the Fishery, and reading in the Archives for so long... yawn.
Does it pick up? [/spoiler]
On a not-so-related note, the next book in The Expanse Series is out now, and I am IN!!!

I think the next 5 are where he ties it all in with the rest of his Cosmere that he's building. Characters from his other books might be crossing over. I know Kelsier will be returning back to life.

Did anyone try Anthony Ryan's new series or are we still pissed at how awful Blood Song ended up? debating whether to read

[/QUOTE]I think most people would say no, and that if you aren't digging it yet, you won't like the rest of book 2. However, to me book 2 was more exciting. There is 1 scene in particular that is absolutely epic.
Your choice if you want to keep reading. Popular opinion would be to drop it if you still aren't enjoying it

brah if you don't like Kingkiller it's probably a blessing srs

[QUOTE=FeralBeast;1474881141]brah if you don't like Kingkiller it's probably a blessing srs

LMAO. It was a page with no spoilers at all for Book 3, and it was his fault for showing it on screen during a live stream

Dresden Files just gets better the more I read. Stayed up reading 'til I finished the next book last night.
For all you guys who didn't get it after 1, keep going. Everything just comes round, Dresden is constantly getting stronger/ fighting bigger enemies. I think that's what makes it so good, it feels the story is constantly evolving and pulls together so well.

It's probably already been discussed ITT, but I didn't realize they were trying to make a Kingkiller chronicle movie/tv "franchise."

yup.
I ranted about him in a review on goodreads a while back.
It got a surprising number of likes. I always felt like people on goodreads are just like redditors. They'll defend Rothfuss regardless of all his bullchit.
Glad to see that people are starting to get sick of his bullchit

this girl's review is also pretty spot on.

people are just sick of his chit brah. His ego is ridiculous.
He doesn't give a single fuk about the readers. The people who made him relevant and rich.
At this point he's just milking the first two books for all their worth.
What's even more frustrating was that he claimed to have finished all three books before the first one was even published.

[QUOTE=Tswizzle;1474994751]rothfuss is a cuck[/QUOTE]
Based on his relationships with female characters in his books i'm convinced that's true... his son is another mans and he's a virgin. I generally dont care about my authors ideals etc, only their work, but Rothfuss just has a detestable personality.

I just finished no 1 and I found it OK - but I just read that no 2 will be more or less the same, which I am not sure I will be able to endure.
