"Each Man Thought: One Of The Others Is Bound To Say Something Soon, Some Protest, And Then I'll Murmur

Thoughts on Rhythm of War...

(Semi-spoilers? Trying to keep it clean...)

-I cannot believe I just finished Rhythm of War and I'm about to start on Wind and Truth already.

-I cannot believe Taravangian... and that Cultivation thought that would actually work/help/make things better somehow

-Adolin has grown on me so much

-"WE CHOSE!"

-Chapter 85 about Dabbid had me 😭

-Chapter 104 had me screaming MOASH YOU F@#$ING BASTARD TRAITOR NOOOOOOOO that was awful

-It's funny that Lyft had the flute

-So many good quotes and conversations of course, like the one between Noril, Kaladin and Teft in Chapter 25 about darkness

-Navani "Don't let his lies become your truth"

-Syl's assertion that hair is gross because it oozes out of little holes and you just let it sit there 😂

- I'm still not sure how I feel about Venli

-I really liked how they ended things with Eshonai

- LOVED what happened with Rlain and the spren

Please send thoughts and prayers and luck as I start Wind and Truth 😅

probably just another mistake

I've been feeling like joining Tumblr was a mistake. Tumblr is for creators, artists, writers. I'm just a wannabe. I have always been and will always be a consumer only. I want to write, to make art and music, to create. But the best I can ever hope to do is to simply imitate what's already been done. My only ability is to share what has touched me. And I am can barely manage to do that.

RUSH quotes

"Where would you rather be?

Anywhere... anywhere but here

When will the time be right?

Anytime but now

Where would you rather be?

The doubt and the fear I know would all disappear

Anywhere but here

Anywhere but here"

Audible Narrators

I absolutely adore Michael Kramer and Kate Reading. They are phenomenal audiobook narrators who did amazing work with Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series and with Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere. They are definitely my favorite Audible narrators. But...

I do think maybe Edgedancer could have been narrated by Suzy Jackson, who did the Skyward series. She would have been perfect for Lift. I guess I understand it's more consistent to use Kate Reading since she does Lift in the main books, and she does a wonderful job, but I just think Suzy Jackson would have been cool in that role.

WoK Chapter 15 Thoughts

Currently on chapter 15 of Way of Kings, some thoughts so far:

-Dalinar should have been king, not Elhokar

-I like Shallan, really was not expecting her true motivation/quest though

-I love Wit (Hoid) 😍 Especially when he makes fun of that jerk Sadeas 😁

-Kaladin....🥺

Ahhh, yes. Now I get it.

NASA: we used to have 9 planets but we now only have 8 Pluto: Stop telling everyone I’m not a planet! NASA: Sometimes we can still hear its voice

The end of Words of Radiance

SPOILER ALERT....

....

....

So when Adolin kills Sadeas at the end of Words of Radiance it is so damn satisfying that I actually laughed out loud and said "YES! FINALLY!" while listening to the audiobook. But then...all I can picture is Adolin nonchalantly chucking Oathbringer out the window, "alley-oop!" dusting off his hands and then whistling as he ambles away down the corridor to find his friends "Heeeey guyz, I waz here in this other corridor all along... nothing to see down that way!"

And I'm just dying 🤣☠️

Inauguration

Listening to the inauguration speech like...

Way of Kings: the progression of my feelings toward Sadeas

Beginning of WoK: I really don't like Sadeas, I think he's a jerk

Middle of WoK: hmm... maybe, just maybe, Sadeas isn't as bad as I thought...

End of WoK: %$#@ING SADEAS 🤬😡🤯

First post

This is my first post. It's nothing special. I agonized over it for weeks, trying to think of something clever or original, but unable to think of the "right" or "best" or "perfect" thing to post first. #perfectionist problems

Anyway, this is it. And now at least it's done so maybe I can get to posting some other thoughts and ideas I've had.

If you're curious, I'm a stay-at-home mom in my late thirties. I have one incredibly smart child who is going to public school (for now) so I have way too much time on my hands and yet never enough time to do the things I want or need to do. Mostly lacking in energy and motivation more than anything else. Also definitely lacking in creativity and talent. I'd like to be someone, to create or do something special, but I'm not and I can't. In school I excelled with academics and getting good grades. Now I pretty much fail at everything, so that sucks. In case you couldn't tell I struggle with anxiety, depression and self-hatred. That's about all anyone would need to know.

I've given you exactly 0 reasons to follow me, why are you still here? If you got this far I'll tell you this: humans are amazing. I love quotes so there will probably be a lot of those. Thanks for... listening? Reading?
