I know they're not everyone's cup of tea, but The Stormlight Archive books speak to me like no other books ever have. They're a huge time investment, but they're all about the journey, not the destination. 😉
Stormlight hit hard in the ptsd feelings. I really love how the series handles mental illnesses and cycles of violence.
Anything by Brandon Sanderson is a pretty safe bet!
Way of Kings blew my mind when I first read it. I loved it so much. I read it again when the last book came out because I couldn't remember everything that happened, and it's still an amazing book on the second read. Unfortunately, each of the following books in the series is less enjoyable for me. I didn't like the Rhythm of War at all. I know a lot of people love it, but it has become something I don't appreciate at all. I don't know if I'll even finish the series, assuming Brandon ever finishes it himself.
I've really enjoyed everything in the Cosmere, but Stormlight is a step above the rest. Last book in this era is out soon. I can't wait.
I know! Have you been reading the chapters on Reactor Mag?
I have not. I can only do the audiobooks, especially for something this long. I'm going to have to go back and listen to the last 5 hours or so of RoW to refresh. It ended so powerfully in the epilogue that I need closure.
One of the few series that I love for making me want to be a better person, then hate it because that’s hard, then love it all over again because it’s worth it.
