I’ll keep rolling. Don’t dislike it enough to quit, but if something else comes along I’ll put it down for now. Dropped out after book 2 for a Stephen King collection I didn’t know existed. Started book 3 today.
I’m far more into science fiction than fantasy, but the original 6 Dragonlance books are my favorites. Characters you care about and seem real are essential, which I why I love King so much.
For example, I like Eland a great deal, but rolled my eyes when he magically became Mistborn. Sazed has really shaped up nicely as well. But Vin (FFS, couldn’t even remember her name, had to search) I can’t relate to. You mean this 18-yo girl out her whuppin’ ass and stacking bodies and she has zero PTSD or anything?! It’s like she has no feelings.
I should probably note that Dune is my favorite sci-fy/fantasy novel. Love me some world building.

If you like Sazed there’s some interesting twists coming for him.
For Vin you come to realize she’s less of a hero and more a pawn in various groups using her winning the genetic lottery.
Now… if you like characters that struggle with trauma. Way of Kings has a very troubled protagonist.
But yeah. As for sci-fi (especially ones that can span years) you might like Alastair Reynolds Revelation Space series.
Any good sci-fi suggestions?
