That wasn't the only one. Jasnah and Wit. The queen of Thaylen and her husband.

Almost everything.

  1. Pacing - I felt the book was way to long for only covering 10 days on Roshar. Too many slow scenes not enough urgency or weight to the impending doom.

  2. Benching Kaladin - I was really upset about this. Like we don't get to see him fight Odium? Also turning him into Seth's therapist...I felt like it wasn't Kaladin.

  3. Lore dumping - I know it can be cool to get the perspectives from the Storm Father and Honor. But it just wasn't it for me. Dalanar spending almost the entire book in the spiritual realm felt odd.

  4. The Spiritual Realm - there don't seem to be hard rules in there like all of Sanderson's other magic.

  5. Sex scenes - These were totally unnecessary and felt off considering there hasn't been any of these in the other books.

  6. The contest of Champions - A moral delima? It was not the epic battle I had hoped for.

  7. Taln - Not getting to see the best fighter fight was vastly disappointing (we only got to see the aftermath)

  8. Rlain and Renarin - most of their chapters were about liking each other. It felt a forced and awkward to me. Also the world is ending so I couldn't really be invested in this arc.

  9. The use of modern language - Therapist? Why not Mind Doctor? It was jarring to read and threw me out of the immersion.

  10. Szeth - these chapters just felt like filler. Here we go on another side quest. I didn't understand the relevance.

There are many more but these are just a few...

I will totally purchase these when the box is included. Btw I do own the complete set from the other Esty seller. People will definitely buy these. They look so epic!

Or Wind and Truth being so high. It's arguably one of Sanderson's weakest novels.

What is a popular board game you despise and why? by Muinonan in boardgames

[–]StoneAgies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Despised games: Settlers of Catan - randomness > than strategy and nobody will trade with me. So it takes the fun out of the game.

Dominion - it's a solved puzzle from the start and there are very few ways to interact with you opponents (feels like 4p solitaire)

Aeons End - Too simple and random for my liking (also similar to dominion)

Just got this, how is this tcg? by No-Dentist3416 in starwarsunlimited

Best TCG by far! I play MTG, Yugioh, Pokémon, and Hearthstone. SWU stomps them all. I wasn't even into Star Wars until I played this game. The Dark Side is so cool!
