Rating Guide

On this blog I use the star system, on a scale of 0-5. Below is an explanation of what those ratings mean.

5 stars = New favorite!
4.5 stars = I loved it!
4 stars = I really liked it!
3.5 = I liked it.
3 stars = It was good.
2.5 = It was okay.
2 stars = I didn't like it.
1.5 = I really didn't like it.
1 star = I hated it.
0 stars = Did not finish.

I'm back!

I took a rather long hiatus, didn't I? Between work suddenly becoming very busy (I own my own business), a couple deaths in my family, and the holiday season, I haven't had the bandwidth to do much else.

Anyway, look forward to some new posts, an updated Instagram, and more books!

Rarely can I figure out exactly where the story is headed, but I am always exceptionally pleased when I get there! Sanderson isn't as known for his "short" stories.

A few of the stories ( The Emperor's Soul, Sixth of the Dusk, Shadows for Silence ) can be read with no knowledge of his other books, and would perhaps be a good introduction to his writing. Those ones you can get individually or are published in other anthologies. I myself had already read a few of the stories, but withi...
