Historia
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet.

Brilliant writing!

I've never read (listened to) a book like this before and so happy I did. I picked it up due to the reviews, and carried on for the character development, intrigue, brilliant world building and great writing.

Historia
Bryce Quinlan never expected to see a world other than Midgard, but now that she has, all she wants is to get back. Everything she loves is in Midgard: her family, her friends, her mate. Stranded in a strange world, she's going to need all her wits about her to get home again. And that's no easy feat when she has no idea who to trust. Hunt Athalar has found himself in some deep holes in his life, but this one might be the deepest of all. After a few brief months with everything he ever wanted, he's in the Asteri's dungeons again, stripped of his freedom and without a clue as to Bryce's fate.

Underwhelming
Revisado: 03-03-24
I found the female lead very difficult to like, the story felt slow with minimal payoff. The characters seemed very flat in comparison to previous books in the series with little character development, and the crossover didn't feel like it captured the ACOTAR world very well. I was so excited for this book, but eventually had to trudge through it. I'm hoping this was just a segue into something more along the likes of SJM'S usual gripping, edge-of-your-seat magical storytelling.

Historia
Book two of the Stormlight Archive. From the best-selling author who completed Robert Jordan's epic Wheel of Time series comes an original new creation that matches anything else in modern fantasy for epic scope, thrilling imagination, superb characters, and sheer addictiveness. Return to a planet swept by apocalyptic storms, a world tipping into war as aristocratic families move to control the shard blades and shard plates, ancient artifacts from a past civilisation that can win wars.

Lives rent-free in my mind
Revisado: 02-02-24
The first two books in this series ruined me for any other level of storytelling. The plot is captivating, the characters are multidimensional and interesting, and the world building is just *chef's kiss*
While it took a while to become immersed in this new world, the second you arrive where Brandon has been leading you all along, there's no escape. I think about The Stormlight Archive in the shower, while I'm driving, on my daily walks, and while I attempt to read anything else. Very few books can compare. Can't wait to start Edgedancer!

Historia
According to mythology, mankind used to live in 'The Tranquiline Halls': heaven. But then the Voidbringers assaulted and captured heaven, casting out God and men. Men took root on Roshar, the world of storms, but the Voidbringers followed. The Almighty gave men powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons, the Shardblades. Led by 10 angelic Heralds and 10 orders of knights known as Radiants, mankind finally won (or so the legends say).

Most brilliant world-building, character-driven
Revisado: 12-15-23
Loved the story, did not enjoy the female narrator, her inflections are strange and distracting. But the overall narrative is brilliant, I'm so enthralled by the magic systems, the creatures, the characters, the moral philosophy. I'll be thinking about this world for a very long time ✨️

Enjoyed every second
Revisado: 10-01-23
I picked up Crescent City with some curiosity, being a fan of Sarah J. Maas's TOG and ACORAR series. After recently rereading those, I was eager to see what else Maas had written, and Crescent City didn't disappoint. It held its own with surprising plot twists, endearing and not-so-endearing creatures, impressive character development and romance, all set against an intriguing world. Admittedly, diving into this new universe felt a bit overwhelming initially, given the intricate world-building and unfamiliar concepts. However, a few chapters into the book, things began falling into place. Now, I'm eagerly looking forward to starting the next installment in this series.
