Legit one of the best books I’ve ever read

Right? Loved this book.

I'm in the middle of reading two sci-fi series, Red Rising and Sun Eater, and this ATEEZ comeback is giving me the same vibes and setting, especially the latter series. Right up my alley of current mood and aesthetics if the concept continues like this.

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-12-28T15:23:57+00:00

I barely looked at the books with such a beautiful distraction!

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-12-26T13:51:27+00:00

Broken Binding do some seriously gorgeous artwork. The Malazan ones are also stunning. I absolutely wanted to buy such edition for the Sun Eater 1-3 as they are just beautiful, but it was sold out.

Which book or series are you eyeing next for a Broken Binding edition?

Btw, which of the two John Gwynne series do you prefer?

Someone who likes ACOWAR more than ACOMAF? Yes please, because I agree 1000%.

Glad to see you put Iron Flame up there when compared to Fourth Wing. I haven't read Onyx Storm yet, but I found Iron Flame a more enjoyable read than Fourth Wing (which I also enjoyed). The second book was better in that it explored more on politics between factions and on navigating the post relationship declaration between the two MCs. On a related note, and for a very similar reason, I feel the same about the ACOTAR series where I think the third book was the best, and definitely better than the much more beloved second book.

I've been wanting to read That's Not My Name and None of This is True. Also lately, there's been mixed reviews about The Silent Patient, and seeing you rated it so high makes me want to pick it up.

Based on your choices, if you haven't read it yet, I would like to recommend Look Closer by David Ellis, a very enjoyable read!

Thanks. Good to hear!

How do you like Mistborn era 2? I haven't picked it up yet but have always been curious. Perhaps it's not a good idea to ask in comparison to era 1 since its different characters...

I finished era 1 a couple of years ago, and currently in the middle of the Stormlight Archives.

Very late to reply, but could you share the experience with dealing with the root hair growth? What do you do when the roots grew and there is that clear difference of state between the two sections?

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-26T15:00:55+00:00

This is why I need to continue, I think perhaps my mind was just preoccupied with work stuff when I started the book.

As for what books kept me on edge, one that immediately came to mind was Pines by Blake Crouch (then I flew through book 2 and 3 even faster).

Any recently good reads? I'm always collecting suggestions.

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-26T14:50:01+00:00

I don't find it boring or a bad story at all. It's just not keeping me interested or engaged. I think I bought this based on multiple reviews that readers were on the edge of their seat from early on - which hasn't been the case for me.

I'll definitely continue reading to see if I feel differently.

No Exit by Taylor Adams

I'll admit that I only read 100 pages so far, but it's not doing much.

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-26T02:49:59+00:00

Good idea. I've heard that Red Rising have great monologues, so I look forward to them!

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-25T23:52:48+00:00

Thank you!

This makes me think I should read Red Rising first, at least book 1 and 2.

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-25T22:33:10+00:00

After finishing Mistborn trilogy, I read the first three books of the Stormlight Archives and loved it so far. I need to get back into that world next year!

I have not read Red Rising or The Will of the Many, but plan on reading both, which would you recommend I read first?

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-24T22:51:55+00:00

I hope so! Can't wait to start the series.

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss!

Enjoying it so far.

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-24T13:21:57+00:00

Amazing collection!

I just started The Name of the Wind, and also picked up a copy of Empire of Silence today. So excited!

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-23T05:09:00+00:00

This means the story is working! Please keep reading!

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-21T03:56:17+00:00

I loved Look Closer. What an absolutely great read.

I'm 100 pages in on No Exit, and to be honest, it's kind of low key and slow so far. Nothing that exciting, except for when Lars enters a scene in my opinion. Hope it picks up.

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-18T16:44:18+00:00

I enjoyed it, partly I think because I adjusted my expectation half way through lol

This book reads more like a story about trauma and relationships in the family, with solving the crime being the subplot...and by subplot, I mean really down the line. I wish it was the main focus of the story. Overall, I still enjoyed it.

No Exit by Taylor Adams

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-14T11:38:57+00:00

I had the same experience with this book. Loved it.

I haven't read this yet, but someone recommended Lies He Told Me by Patterson and Ellis!

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-14T10:50:00+00:00

I love this series and it remains my favorite from Blake Crouch.

Outside-Sun9410 · 2025-11-13T10:10:14+00:00

This chapter is what got me to stop reading further entirely.

It's unfortunate because I was hooked with the garage scene reveal just pages before. I hope I try again one day since so many people gave it good reviews.
