finished mistborn era one, getting into stormlight. online discussion has me… concerned
new sanderson reader here, just finished up hero of ages. absolutely loved era 1, give it a 4/5 overall. getting into stormlight next, about 200 pages into WoK, and it’s awesome so far.
here’s the thing though. almost every single time i see someone discuss stormlight, they say that it heavily falls off in the later books. specifically wind and truth gets a lot of flak. i’m… worried about immersing myself into this MASSIVE series if it’s just gonna suddenly start to suck. i’m not a huge reader and the pure page count of stormlight has me worried about “return on investment” so to speak.
i just want to ask, without any major spoilers please, WHY do people think that way about wind and truth? is it just the sanderson style (which i actually like and appreciate) getting to be too much? or do the books genuinely start to get worse? i’m not going to stop my enjoyable read just out of fear of what’s to come in the series, but i’d be lying if i said the constant hate i see for WaT doesn’t have me worried.
i understand im going to get some selection bias by asking what is ostensibly a community of fans, but still, i felt like this was the best place to ask. i plan to read all of the cosmere eventually if that helps. elantris is next on my list for a break after WoK.
