Overall Rating: 4 stars (Really Liked It!) I read 5 Wheel of Time Books this year because I wanted to catch up with the series, now that Sanderson is working on the last installment. As I've posted before, I had a hard time continuing with Robert Jordan books. It felt like he was slowing things … Continue reading Book Reviews: Knife of Dreams and New Spring by Robert Jordan
Overall Rating: 3 Stars (Liked It!) Monster Hunter International is, as Brandon Sanderson said, "An Ode to how fun it is to shoot things in the face."

This book has received a lot of flack for not … Continue reading How to Survive the Wheel of Time
I read this book audibly (Quite literally, I downloaded my copy from Audible.com) at the end of 2009. Drowned in the long shadow cast by Sanderson's prowess, this book just doesn't get enough attention. I have read all of Sanderson's published works, and still this is my personal favorite.
