So I ordered a copy from the local bookstore (400+ Pesos or $8+) and after a week of waiting, I got it! When I got it, I tried listening to it for a couple of minutes and it didn’t take no more than the Prelude for me to realize that this book is not meant to be listened to but should be read in print (at least, for the first time). Then I discovered that it was waaaay too expensive ($60+ for non-members, $40+ for members, come on?!), so I decided to wait for my monthly Audible credit to get it. I was set to go through The Way of Kings in audiobook, initially, because it was too long. So yeah, that piqued my interest already.Īnd then the Rhythm of War, fourth book of The Stormlight Archive, is set to be published this November – so the series has been gaining traction once again. While I haven’t read The Wheel of Time, it’s easy to know the name and the series since this is considered one of those big franchises in the adult SFF community. I tried looking into it and discovered that it’s an ongoing series by Brandon Sanderson, the person who completed The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan after his death.


I always saw The Stormlight Archive being given some attention in Tor.com, one of my favorite sites in terms of SFF and other nerdy stuff. So I just started The Way of Kings, which is the first book in the series, a couple of weeks ago and, boy, am I really slacking off in my progress.Ī bit of context about how I came about this series and why I am reading it now is in order first, I guess.

If you’ve been following me on Goodreads or maybe just good ol’ Twitter, you know that I currently had myself committed to starting The Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson.
