Utterly Disappointing

Revisado: 01-10-25

I wish I’d never read it/listened to it. I considered each of the first three books of this series to be among the best books I’ve ever read. Mr. Sanderson seems to have lost his handle on this series. It’s way too long. The dialogue (never his strongest suit) is atrocious. All major characters deal with mental health issues that end up making their plot lines indistinguishable. He handles these issues in such a nauseatingly reductive way that I find it difficult to believe this is the same author as that of The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, and Oathbringer. Having read and enjoyed nearly every book he’s written I’m sad to say this is the last time I’ll bother slogging through a 1300 page book/60+ hour audiobook by this author. The performers, Kate Reading and Michael Kramer, were excellent in this book as always, but I wish they’d narrated a much sharper, cleaner finale to this story arc.

Tells her rough truths with grace

Revisado: 10-05-23

I would recommend this to anyone who watched all the Duggar family episodes and thought they were a perfect example of a good Christian family. Jill speaks frankly about a lot of issues she’s encountered with the IBLP community and how following that community and living her life on screen were harmful. She said a lot of things she needed to be shared and I respect her for going about it graciously. She still obviously loves her flawed family, but she doesn’t hold guiltless specific people or people groups who are responsible for detrimental harm to many.

Impressive knowledge shared

Revisado: 03-30-23

This will be a book that I reread multiple times. I was so impressed with the audible version that I bought the book and the study guide to “chew” on it more and delve deep. This book is only for those who are actively trying to improve themselves and their relationships. The principles behind these habits have been observed and noted by the author and by many throughout history. They also they just so happen to be biblically based, though he didn’t use the Bible to write them. Highly recommend.

A classic read by a master

Excellent collection of these classic stories. Simon Vance’s narration brings them to life as in every book he performs.
