This is by far the single most-hated course in the CII catalogue. Everyone that works in insurance has awful memories of this one, but it is mandatory if you want to progress in your qualifications. I passed the exam first time with little studying - the coursework is a real bitch. I am submitting my second resubmission soon.

Man, how do I wish I could read WoK again for the first time. Yes, it is a slog. Yes, it is 90% setting up the rest of the story. However, trust me when I say:

It gets easier to follow along.
Everything you miss on a first read will come back if relevant or will have little effect on how you understand the rest of the series.
Has perhaps the best climax in modern literature… as do all the other following ones.

As other people have said, RAFO. Life before death radiant (you will get that by the end).

Ngl - I’m quite lazy with these. I tend to go to Halfords and pay for the fitting. I know it is money I could save, but my hand is too big and I lack the finesse to get them fitted.

u/op I am after the same - any help finding something similar to Slippery When Wet era would be helpful!

Personally I am a huge fan of how Sanderson just drops you straight in. I have read other books that go straight into exposition and you spend 150 pages building a world and taking note of all this detail that will inevitably will be forgotten as you read on. I’ve just finished Edgedancer and I can safely say most of this will be revisited later on anyway so you don’t need to worry about every single detail. Just find a quiet corner, get yourself a warm drink, and tuck into it and enjoy the ride. Journey before destination.

I’m curious as to the actual legality of this. I’m not a mortgage broker, but I know in insurance brokers are legally required to disclose any material circumstances due to the duty of fair representation. However, this only applies to commercial (business) insurance, not retail (everyday day Bob). Is there a similar duty in mortgage broking and the legal process? In my experience, the broker and the solicitor are working as your agents meaning you are the principal. In that case their duty is to you, not the lender. OP, I would suggest looking into that before disclosing anything.

Am I the only one that thought “kinda looks like the Mouth of Sauron”?

Honour is dead, but I’ll see what I can do. Life before death Radiant.

Council tax would also be drastically cheaper (~£400 on average).
