Episode 1-12: I See Your True Colors Shining Through
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/03/26/episode-1-12-i-see-your-true-colors-shining-through/ Wherein I review: 39. Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson 40. The Stainless Steel Rat Goes to Hell (Stainless Steel Rat #9) by Harry Harrison What began as my least favorite Cosmere book quickly climbed back up in my esteem. It’s the magics I didn’t care much for it this one, but the characters grew on me. And the Stainless Steel Rat was less delightful as he multiverse hops.
Episode 1-09: Rats! Foiled Again!
In this episode, I further dive into the Stainless Steel Rat space opera, where a slick space criminal experiences 1970’s style hijinks. I finish up the YA books written by the author of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books author – all of them involving kids fighting some kind of devilish dealing evil power.

Three books in a row, this series continues to be ridiculously good.
It has never before taken me longer than a week to read a Brandon Sanderson book, and that’s including the previous two 1,000+ page behemoths in this series. But it took me almost three weeks to get through Oathbringer. This more than anything is proof that reading a book fast does not necessarily mean that it’s good, and reading one slowly doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy it. That’s a new thing for me. Usually I inhale books like I do my food, fast and without mercy. […]
