Just finished my reread of Mistborn Era 2 yesterday! As I was wrapping book 3, I was confused how Sanderson was going to pull in all the things I remembered from my last read… then I remembered there’s a fourth book 🤦🏻‍♀️

currently reading Venetian Vespers by John Banville. I love the unreliable narrator. He’s total scum. The absolute pits.

Had my eye on this. What are your thoughts so far?

Fun so far. Princess Doughnut is great!

Not OP but I'm on my 2nd read thru. They're great, each book is stronger than the previous one. The audiobooks version has the best narrator I've heard in any book series (Jeff Hays) so if that's your thing, do the listen.

The story feels like the best of the shit that played on Adult Swim back in the aughts. Funny and gross and weirdly emotional throughout.
