How are you finding Oathbringer so far? It got a lot of flack for being slow but I loved it!
I’ve also very much enjoyed the secrect projects (cosmere ones). Just finished SP3 which for me was on par with Tress while being a wildly different story and experience.
I really like it so far. I’m a bunch of chapters into part 2, and I feel like we’re getting a lot of payoffs for stuff set up forever ago in some cases. I felt like book 1 dragged more for me - you could tell what was coming for Kaladin hundreds of pages before we got payoff there - and even book 2 had some slowness for me right when part 2 started.
Maybe it slows down later, but at the moment I’m getting detailed answers to questions that have been there since the start of book 1, which is great. I also have stayed off Coppermind for the most part for anything related to Stormlight, though. Could be what I’m finding satisfying answers and exploration of theories now was heavily discussed in the community at the time. It’s one thing to get confirmation of an individual theory about the book, but it’s another to read a few hundred pages about something the community has picked apart and already settled on the right answer to. Not saying this is what happened, just guessing based on what I know about the community and the depth of detail discussed in places like Coppermind.
