    Blood and bloody ashes, I just started my first re-read in a few years. I’m about 1/4 of the way through The Dragon Reborn. I have a new place to post my flaming book reports!

      Can’t wait! I’m really glad I discovered it through the show, now on book 10 and on one hand I can’t wait till I finish and at the same time I’m dreading it.

        Don’t worry you’ll reread it again 😋

        Part of the pros of it being so long is by the time you’re done you can start over again and it feels fresh hahs.

      “Reread”, “within a few years”?

      I could barely struggle through the first two books iirc. Or was it the third one I started. Second or third, but it repeated the first so much I got bored and just kinda left it.

        It’s a slow burn, with some parts that are admittedly kind of painful to read. I’ve read most of the books probably 5 or 6 times. Some I’ve only read once or twice, no one needs to read Winter’s Heart more than once really. This time though I’m doing a full re-read. It’s a big undertaking, 15 books.

          There’s some great material throughout, but as a whole from Lord of Chaos to Winters Heart, i mostly skim. I really, really don’t like Salidar. And UNHOLY FUCK, some of his names, of which there are hundreds, are only differentiated by a single letter.
