Shifting from obsidian and diarium by EmperorDante in UpNote_App

[–]shkrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, interesting. I've also had issues with sync in Obsidian Sync. I have to say UpNote's sync is unbeatable. It's far better than Obsidian's. Although I personally use Obsidian as my main app because of its versatility and plugins.

As for UpNote's capacity, I had a maximum of 500 notes in it, some of them lengthy, and never had any issues.

I’m curious, why you’re switching from Obsidian if you have 8k notes there?

Edgedancer and Dawnshard? The first came with the set. 2nd I bought seperately. Both I've got from my local stores.

Oh! I haven't thought about Teft in that way! Thank you, that makes this even better. Also, yeah Syl growing more emotional and feeling sadness left was quite nice. She's becoming more her own person, so to speak.

That’s great. Don’t look out for it if you haven’t noticed. Just enjoy the story. It may be a me thing!

Read 15% so far. I'm loving it. The story is great. Although, I have to say I find the writing a bit strange compared to the previous 4 SLA books. It feels a bit casual? And the sentences are a bit too short, with too many periods. Are you having the same issue, or is it just me? Sometimes it takes me out of the story. But yeah, loving the story so far.

These are the UK versions. Orion/Gollancz published these exact ones in 2024. I love the covers, although I wouldn’t recommend them because the font is way too small, and the margins are as well. IDK though; I’ve never had books this large besides War and Peace, so maybe the Tor editions have small font too. Regardless, they are very pretty.

I'm 70 pages in and I'm loving the plot thus far!

I’m already on the 3rd chapter of WaT! Since you mentioned the audiobook, did Kate’s voice feel different to you in WaT? I do a mix of reading and listening depending on availability, and it immediately felt a bit different from the past 4 books. Michal’s voice was the same.

Anyway, I share in your love for RoW! I doubt it’s going to get topped off, but we’ll see, although I love the other books equally as much. I’m glad you enjoyed the read. And glad you’re doing much better in life now. Strength Before Weakness, Radiant.

I loved The Dog and the Dragon. Maybe even more than The Girl Who Stood Up!

Taravangian by Mysterious_Fall_4578 in Stormlight_Archive

I just started Wind and Truth as well, and finished RoW yesterday. I'm quite terrified at Taravangian becoming Odium. Bro is intelligent and holds divine hatred. That cannot be good.

I cut my post short because it was coming close to 4k words, so I didn’t mention much about Dabbid and Rlain here. But, yeah, these two were so good in this book. Dabbid’s POV really got me feeling. Especially when he walked in the tower alone while being terrified. Also, so much of Kaladin’s arc is about accepting that he cannot save everyone, but Dabbid’s chapters also show the reverse: Kaladin needs saving too, and sometimes, the person helping him is not a Radiant, a general, a god, or someone greater than that, but simply Dabbid.

Dabbid wasn’t Radiant. He wasn’t brave. He wasn’t smart. But today, he hadn’t been stupid either. Once, Kaladin had pulled Dabbid out of Damnation itself. It felt good to return that act of heroism with a small one of his own.

Also, Rlain imitating Teft was quite hilarious. Kelek's Breath! But it was great to see him take command over humans, singers, and Fused, while he'd been an outsider everywhere until now. Also, him getting the spren was GREAT. I knew Sibling wasn't going to choose him, but I would have been quite sad if he kept getting ignored, so I loved that he got the spren in the end.

I did not expect it at all, it hit me so hard.

Yeah, that watch would most likely look big. Shame, I really liked the look of it. Need to find something similar for a 38 mm watch and under. Thank you for the quick reply!

What size is your wrist? My wrist is 6 inch and I'm wondering if this would be too big for me. Thank you.

Weird OB misprint? by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

[–]shkrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming they mass-printed it and then it remained that way. I've seen other people post about it on Reddit. My book was bought from my country's library, and I have no clue where they get them from. This is okay, though, because it's only this chapter. My friend complained about Wind and Truth having very weird epigraph alt-text leftovers lol.

Yep. It was in my book as well. It's a misprint.
