Currently on chapter 85 of Pierce Brown's Light Bringer, the latest installment of the Red Rising series! Granted, I'm listening to the audiobook, but audiobooks are still books. And man, like the rest of the series, I can't put this shit down!
After this? Not sure yet. Still waiting on Sanderson's next book in his Stormlight Archive series. Maybe I'll re-listen to The Wheel of Time again while the final books of these two series wrap up.
Nothing wrong with audiobooks! It's my preferred way to consume my books. Also if I didn't listen to audiobooks, then I would never have experienced TGR's glorious performance in the Red Rising series. I don't think audiobooks are better for every book, but in the case of Red Rising, I would argue it's mandatory.
I just finished Lightbringer myself and I absolutely loved it. I'm equally devastated knowing how long it'll be before we get the next one!
Absolutely agreed about TGR's amazing talent! He colored - no pun intended - the Red Rising books in such an immersive way, that I can't imagine the characters and atmosphere as anything other than what his vocal descriptions provided.
And I'm not 100% certain, but I think he mentioned on one of the Red Rising podcasts that the last book should come within a few months of this one, because they were meant to be one final book, but the length didn't allow his original plans. I certainly hope that's true!
