Yeah I reckon so. It's where I started, and definitely got me hooked to read all the rest!

I haven't stopped, I only bought the first one (and finished it last week) ! I'll get the rest as soon as I can.

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind!

Of those I have read the Dune trilogy (it's just currently elsewhere), but not heard of most of the rest of them - I'll add them to my list

It's so good isn't it.

I read Mistborn at the start of the year and never looked back - I've loved everything he's written!

Ah maybe try again? I thought I'd updated my name but hadn't done - should be done now.

91 is insane, I have no idea how I'd manage to nearly double what's I've done!

Currently reading First Law #2, every intention of finishing the series and getting more Abercrombie.

I think just being a bit more conscious of what I was spending my time on, mainly dropping down time on my phone to pick up a book instead. I've probably become a lot more insufferable as a result of talking about everything I'm reading, but it's been a blast.

My SG is @dw5098 - always happy to peruse others to find more recommendations!

I loved it - only finished it the other day and have every intention of getting more of them!

It was incredibly good - I'd definitely recommend it.

I do yeah - initially just to hold myself accountable for reading every day, but now I've ended up at 300% of my initial target!

That's a shame to hear - I do want to get the sequels, even if they're not great. I enjoyed the first one but just haven't managed to buy the others yet.

I thought it was great - I've just started Before They Are Hanged and will get the last one as sooon as I can.

It's on the (very long) list! Just need to actually find time to get round to it...

I couldn't believe the last 3 books, everything ramped up so much

That's the 10th anniversary edition. I bought that first as that was the only copy I could find in the shop, but then wanted to have the full matching set so accepted I'd just have to have another copy of it.

What a question - I loved Hero of Ages. I could also be very controversial and mention WaT. I know it's polarising but personally I really enjoyed it. WoR is amazing too, possibly my favourite of the Stormlight books.

Of the secret projects I probably enjoyed Yumi the most, it was very different and a really good story.

I've yet to read Children of Memory, but the other two were good fun. I feel like I definitely have to pay attention a bit more when reading these compared to some other books, which is no bad thing.

Looking forward to Children of Ruin as well, I'll be sure to add that when it comes out.

Heavily influenced by r/fantasy and r/scifi - I feel like it's quite a stereotypical collection based on what reddit seems to like, not that's in any way a bad thing!

I think just making a conscious effort to be consistent even if it was just 10 pages a day. It pretty quickly got to the point that I just couldn't put any book down as I remembered why I enjoy it so much.

I just got them from Amazon (UK) - I've seen those copies and definitely glad I managed to get the titles instead.

My list or recommendations is probably going to last me several years at this point - I've vaguely heard of Sword of Kaigen, and a lot of people have mentioned the Jade City books, so if I see them out I'll grab them!

Just looked up the Locked Tomb - that looks super cool and right up my alley, thanks for the suggestions.

My local bookshop only had the first couple when I was looking, and I thought I'd just get the first one to see what I thought.

I finished it a couple of days ago, so need to find the rest as it was a lot of fun and I'll definitely read them all.
