![]() Even with the magic system of Roshar, which seems almost religious in nature, there are rules that make sense. There’s a science and a method to each system that makes them believable. Every single magic system in his Cosmere is captivating and cinematic, which is doubly true for the Stormlight Archive seeing as the magic system varies so vastly from person to person. Sanderson is also exceptional at crafting magic systems. His worlds are so tangible and easy to visualize, and no world exemplifies this better than Roshar. ![]() When I pick up a Sanderson book, I feel like it completely transports me, and like the real world doesn’t exist while I’m nestled between the pages. There is no other author who can evoke such vibrant and absorbing images in my mind as I read. The thing that sets Sanderson apart from other fantasy authors in my mind is his phenomenal world building. That title has been held by The Name of the Wind for over a decade, but in Rhythm of War Sanderson has usurped it.įor ones so soft, they are somehow strong.įor ones so varied, they are somehow intense.įor ones so lost, they are somehow determined.įor ones so confused, they are somehow brilliant.įor ones so tarnished, they are somehow bright. ![]() At the moment, it’s also my favorite fantasy book I’ve ever read. ![]() Rhythm of War is hands down my favorite book of the year, and I’ve read some truly incredible books over the course of 2020. ![]()

Sam Gribley is a teen when he decides to run away from his home – a crowded apartment full of younger siblings in New York City – and try to live off the land in the Catskills, where his family owns, but has never visited, his grandfather’s old abandoned farm. I was very drawn to My Side of the Mountain because of George’s conversational tone, aided by Sam’s first-person narrative, and accompanied by sketches of things like plants, snares, and handmade fishhooks. Like Wild Trek, My Side of the Mountain is about someone living off the land, all alone – a topic that has always fascinated me, and continues to do so. ![]() Another beloved classic from that stack was the first book in this series, My Side of the Mountain. ![]() Some of them, like Jim Kjelgaard’s Wild Trek, went on to become lifelong favorites.

Under the sudden, watchful eye of the gods, she will be tasked to serve the Abcurse brothers, five sols built of arrogance, perfection and power. Her life will be one of servitude to the sols, the magic-blessed beings who could one day be chosen to become gods.Īt least her outer village is far removed from the cities of the sols, and she won’t ever be forced to present herself to them… Until one small mistake changes everything, and Willa is awarded a position to serve at Blesswood, the top sol academy in the world-a position that she definitely did not earn.

While there were some moments when I felt myself pulled briefly out of the story because I thought a particular element was weak, those were rare moments and the book was almost impossible to put down. Since The Dry is the first in a series, you get to know Aaron Falk and the story of how and why he and his father were driven out of town in tandem with the unfolding investigation. Farmers are losing their livelihood because of the lengthy dry spell and nobody appears surprised that Luke may have killed most of his family. The title comes from the drought conditions in the area, as the story is taking place. But, did Luke murder his family and commit suicide or did someone else kill the family? Why was their baby daughter left alive but their son killed? Falk doesn't plan to stay in town to find out. ![]() Luke, his wife, and son have been killed. ![]() ![]() In The Dry, when Federal Agent Aaron Falk returns for his best friend Jake's funeral, it's his first visit to his hometown since he and his father were driven away. ![]() ![]() If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. ![]() Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
