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'm glad you liked it and it was good hearing back from you. It's interesting because I used to not want to read books that start early in the characters development because I felt like it takes longer for the action to start. But at some point the books that start with some school or academy have become my favorites
I feel very confident you'll like the wolf. The author reminds me of Pierce Brown where he just came out of nowhere and wrote a great series as a very young man. And don't worry about cliffhangers. The trilogy was finished about a year ago
