    Just to be clear, I wasn't challenging anyone who did like it! But reading other perspectives is still nice.
    I'm curious how I'll respond to the other books now too, since I wouldn't consider anything that happened in this one a "high", even relative to itself. Maybe that mini chapter about the

    Finally finished The Way of Kings. Kinda felt like amateur hour for a lot of it tbh. I dunno if that's too harsh, but it's my honest reaction. I don't care that it's a doorstopper or that it's a slow burn, and I don't really relate to describing anything in storytelling as "filler" (and wouldn't here anyway). But if you're demanding Robin Hobb levels of patience in a reader, you better come with at least a degree of Robin Hobb's skills, and this falls way short of that in just about every dimension I can think of -- particularly character. I also don't normally care about hype, like it doesn't help or hinder my reaction to a book, but I am admittedly mystified how this is in anybody's top tier list. [Not a Brando Sando hater either -- I liked Mistborn, thought he did a great job wrapping up WoT, and Tress of the Emerald Sea was a real charmer].

    Anyway, I don't think it's the worst of the worst or anything, just "mid" as the kids say, but 1000 pages of mid is itself kinda sub-mid, if that math adds up. I did think the reveals in the final section were interesting, somewhat surprising, and I suppose intriguing setup for what comes next. I'm gonna take at least month off before hitting the next book though.

    'Windlass' is what James Joyce called his wife in those naughty letters.

    On further reflection, maybe not so much "jolly good" as "the whole situation sucks but I'm very glad you and yours are safe and I'm sorry to hear that people you know where impacted, but again I'm glad they are safe".

    hey mate, I know you're in a vast sandy wasteland but I hope you and yours are OK during these fires. I note some aren't that far away from you. Take care.

    Hah, western north south west. Nice. Hadn't thought of it that way.
    Sometimes us from regional New South Wales refer to NSW as Newcastle Sydney Wollongong - the main metro areas that get all the attention from govt and the media, the rest of the state being "here be dragons" as far as they are concerned. :P

    If it's all the same to you, I'd like 2022 to be very low on surprises ...
    Except the lottery-winning kind. I'd like at least a big pleasant surprise there.
