I've seen some of the clips and yeah how he stayed so calm in the face of the awful bigoted nonsense is incredible. That one dude with the backwards cap just telling him to get out of the country is just awful. -

Most likely!
Thing is, I was put off trying any Brandon Sanderson despite multiple recommendations because I thought he came across as such an insufferable ass with the WOT TV series stuff, but then Tress of the Emerald Sea turned out to be a thoroughly great book, so I'm in the mindset of revisiting things I haven't given a chance
I'm very much a believer in seeing what the fuss is about with an open mind. So I tried WoT and hated it. I'm trying Stormlight Archive and actually quite enjoying it. I tried the ACOTAR books and they definitely weren't for me, but that's ok.
I'd be disinclined to read something that someone like your ex tried to push on me though so I get it. -

Yes Glotka is not ready to forget! There's something quite thrilling about quite how nasty he is. I enjoyed that trilogy fwiw, it's a lot of fun if you let it be even though most of the characters are pretty horrible.
Seems like your scumbag ex might have just liked it because "hurr durr violence" though. -

Fwiw Rivers of London is read by someone who is IMO the peak of audiobook narrators - Kobna Holdbrook Smith is a crazy talent. -

I tried to read Lord Foul's Bane by Stephen Donaldson and I just couldn't really get into it. I'm not sure why. It just didn't really interest me - I got about 150 pages in so it's not as though I didn't give it a good go.
I may come back to it if I feel inclined but I have so many books to read I just want to read something that actually interests me.
So I'm going to read The Mortal Word, book 5 in Genevieve Cogman's Invisible Library series.
Donaldson is slow burning. Covenant is... quite the character. I get tempted to reread from time to time, and then immediately realize why it is a slow-burner. I read this during my first year of law school and it was actually quite enjoyable as an escape from case briefs.
Still haven't finished the last series but overall it has some wonderful concepts. It's magic the old school way and not the Sanderson way where it's more science than art.
It's such an interesting series and it can be hard to read with the levels of bleakness and despair that it drops to. The highs of that series are so damn high though. I think a lot of the philosophy and themes of Malazan were laid out for me through the Covenant books and set the stage for me to be much more appreciative of Malazan when I got there later. My love for Foamfollower set the stage for my love of Itkovian, for example.
Hmm you guys are making a compelling case to return, I just was not enjoying it though. I'll read some other stuff and see how I feel.
