the most profound sci Fi I have ever read

Revisado: 03-11-22

I didn't even realize this book was encroaching on a century old until half way through. such a beautiful story wrapped up in thought provoking ideas that left me just thinking afterwards. I developed an immense attachment to the characters and found myself also compelled by their ideas and way of thinking. this book also handled the process of aging in a way I have never read before and is in all ways a masterpiece. the fact I didn't know about or read this book earlier saddens me greatly.

Not the best book in the series so far, still good

Revisado: 03-18-21

I see a lot of mixed reviews about this book. The middle of it is certainly a bit of a trudge but that has been brandon sanderson a method for all of the storm light archive books. This book was indeed slower than others, but not by as much as it may seem if it's been a while since you've read the previous entries.

The main story followed in this is one of the singers, I found the over arching story fascinating but the delivery was not suited for me, it's possible that the main reason is just me not being able to keep up with all the names or recall when things happened. the singer story is disjointed, but only gives context clues for when it occured, this was my greatest issue with the book.

Overall I did enjoy it, I wish there were more main character interactions but every book seems to split them apart for a reuniting.

I found this book an adequate continuation of the storm light archive.

A wonderfully performed high school student novel

first off, delivery is AMAZING! I can't overstate this enough. Every character has their own voice and yet every voice is cut from the same cloth which makes it feel like this story is being passionately told to you from an exceptional orator.

that said, the actual content leaves a lot to be desired. If you're looking for a toothless Ready Player One this book is for you. While entertaining, there is no character developmnet, no depth, and no character arc for literally any of the one dimensional characters.

it's hard to write something so scathing about a book I sincerely enjoyed listening to, but I refuse to lie. This is the CSI, Big Bang Theory, Die Hard 3+ of the book realm. Its an interesting and captivating, although predictable and rather mediocre book.

I recommend reading this book as brain comfort food. Its the grilled cheese of books... now I'm hungry.

shorter than I would have liked but...

offered a lot for an uncommitted stoic like myself. While this book lacks the depth I've become accustomed to, it simplifies a lot of the practices into actionable steps. This book fills a hole I knew I had, but I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to Stoicism. For that, try "The Obstacle Is The Way" or "A Guide To The Good Life"
