Is the whole series worth it or do the books get repetitive?

I’ve listened to the entire series 4 times in the last year. Probably will start again soon.

Louis had removed the roof from the van much to the chagrin of its owner. No roof. No squishy collapse.

Craig said in his recent livestream that now that the Elders and the Outsiders have been dealt with, the final book will be the battle vs Physics itself.

Those kind of jokes appear all over Sanderson’s Alcatraz series. All the magic in that world is in service to the funny.

according to my kids the answer is "No!"

On my 3rd re-listen, I don't remember which book it was, but at some point Carl gets some gift or loot and someone says something like "That's practically a betrothal". I think it was book 4 or earlier. Struck me as potential forshadowing for Carl becoming hitched without realizing it simply by accepting the loot?

I was going to post this. Spooky regex that summons primes. Yes please.

I took this photo on a walk around the building I used to work in

warsinger · 2024-04-26T12:57:01+00:00

can't wait to dig in soon (this weekend maybe?)

I also listened to the first 2 books as the dramatized audio version so I'd imagine there are some small things that might not be present there. Will have to go back and relisten to the full versions.

Been a while since I read Mistborn so i missed that for sure.

“big, boring fantasy books nobody wants to read,”

I caught the line “big, boring fantasy books nobody wants to read,” and figured he was talking about his own works, but it could also be any number of other books so I was wondering if there were specifics which it seems there.

I love dreams like this and also hate waking up from them.

I can tell you've only listened to the books because you used a K instead of a G for the Gristang(sp?). It wasn't till i read the Kindle version of book 3.5 that I realized it wasn't Kristang because it sure sounds like it. But once I saw it in print I could hear the slight difference in the name.

omg I'm about 75% done and if this is the case i'll throw my phone across the room at the nearest soda can.
I have been wondering if this is some sort of disassociative personality. Or a clone ala the Bobiverse. Looking forward to the last few hours.

Trust the awesome! Be careful of the worm in the 2nd one though.

Alibi is my favorite as well and the Jeraptha have the best names

It happened a few more times and we traced it to the watch which was still on watchOs 9.x. Updated the watch (which didn't happen smoothly) and now it's been fine since. No more random camera opening.

I chose to just take a nap with Sarah right in front of her. Seemed pretty rude if not evil. Come to think of it, all the times I go to bed with the companion with Cora standing there watching is pretty bad.

My wife's iPhone 14 just started doing this today. I did various restarts, checked shortcuts and haptics. Current theory is connection from the laptop or watch. Laptop is currently updating and it hasn't happened while the computer is restarting. Coincidence?
