I don't know many Sanderson fans are around here, but for those who don't know, the 5th book of the Stormlight Archive just came out. I'm about halfway through it and there is so much shoehorned woke garbage in it.
One character is suddenly gay, like Kaiden in Mass Effect 3. There are all these references to transgenderism, which hasn't existed at all in this universe until this point. All of it is so jarring and out of place. I guess Sanderson has been spending too much time on reddit.
I just want one thing I can enjoy.
I have heard great things and I have heard bad things, but I've never taken the plunge. I think everyone, whether they love them or hate them, says it's very long and it can be really difficult to keep track of all of the characters. I do plan on at least reading the first book someday
That's kinda what drew me to them. I was told there is no hand holding, and you really have to extrapolate information that he does not plainly give you. Seemed interesting.
Yeah it definitely sounds epic and I like books like that, but I usually space them out because they're more of an effort to read. Like War and Peace, Les Miserables, the Count of Monte Cristo, etc I really loved them but I had to read other books while working through them cause there were many times when I just needed a break lol
