Yes, you should read The Stormlight Archive. No, there is no chance of it disappointing you. And if you want more than that, here's a detailed list of everything Brandon Sanderson is epically good at (and a few things he's not - after all, what kind of blogger would I be...)

Book Review | The Name of the Wind
For something so iconic, I was at least expecting The Name of the Wind to do the wheel quite well. Maybe some chrome rims or a flashy spoke design. Instead, I found the MC deeply annoying, the women (few that there were) underdeveloped, the magic system derivative, and the conflict cookie-cutter.

March TBR
A reread of Gideon the Ninth for a book club that will hopefully lead to me finally reading the rest of the series, plus a few literary fiction pieces I'm really excited about!

Not many changes since I got SO off-track in January. I'm already enjoying Empire of Pain and really looking forward to The Cloisters.
