The book was easier to read than I thought it would be. What helped make the book easier to understand was reading the introductions and the explanations that the professor gave.
I also researched in the internet names of entities and gods that I didn't know who they were.
This book was very gore, with a lot of blood and the descriptions of the injuries that led to dead.

I definitily not going to read another book by this author, I really did not like his writing style. It was like reading a wikipedia page but ten times worse.

He also made me dislike or pity all the character in the book, while he was trying to make the readers like them.

Arthur is a creepy, Gawaine is a like a moody teenager, Merlin is a creeoy toward beautiful young girls, Pellias was tricked and kidnapped (but it was made to look like it was an honour that he was able to go to the fairy world) and Guinivere is just there.

This makes me hesitate to read any other arthurian legends books.

4.5*
I really liked this first book. We follow multiple points of view, so in the beginning there are parts where we don't know who is the character that is the point of the view.
There were two things that frustated me. The first one was keeping from us what the Erica and Patrik discovered, one example of this was when Erica redialled a number to discover who the last call was made to. And she is surprised to who the voicemail belongs to, but we don't learn who it is until later in the book.
The second thing, was the “romance”, which I didn't feel like was a romance at all. Erica and Patrik have two dinners and didn't talk for very long and then they have a lot of sex (not explicit) and then suddenly, it is like they feel like they were made to be and they feel perfect for each other. I though it was very rushed and forced, like she wanted to settle then as a couple in the first book.

3.5*

I liked the relationship between the two main characters, but I didn't understand why Morgan wanted to keep her relationship and being lesbian a secret from her family and friends.
At first I thought they were prejudiced against lesbians, but they didn't even bat an eye when they discovered they were dating. In fact they were upset that Morgan hadn't trust them.

*4.5

Really enjoyed the book, but I thought the main characters reaction to things were a little off.

Spoilerwhen he finds out that Wynne is Death he acusses her of killing people and run away from her. And it doesn't make any sense to me, it is obvious that she is just leading the soul to the afterlife. Also I found that in the end he went through not accepting being Death to being ok with it really quickly

This is a fast paced book, one thing after another happening.

I think this book is more of a 4 star rating, but this was the first book in a really long time that I read so quickly. I read the first 150 pages on one sitting and finished the rest on the next day (usually I only read 50 pages of a book per day or less). So since I read it so fast and enjoyed it, I gave it 5 stars.

4.5Really enjoyed this sequel. I didn't like how every human liked the princess just because. I also didn't like how near the end something happened that to me (maybe there hints that I didn't notice) came out of nowhere.spoiler*
At the final battle there two people of the Raiders that knew she was the princerella, one that tried to kill her and another that saved her. And seriously where did that come from? On the chapters with her point of view there was no hints (I think) that she though someone from the Raiders suspected she was the princerella, and suddenly one tries to kil her and the other saves her. And she thinks that she suspected that someone knew her identity.

This book was not waht I was expecting because of the synopsis. I though we would follow the Princerella and her journey after becoming an orphan, but we follow a lot of other characters and the queen, only following her more near the end of the book. Also the queen took a lot longer to die then I though (more than 50% of the book).

I liked all the characters and the world building. I was a little confused about the spirits? (gods?) and their roles in the magic of the world, but slwly I began to understand more of the world.

I really enjoyed the story of the book, but I hated the writing style.

There was four ppint of views, all in first person. And we mostly just read the thoughts of our characters and what are they feeling, there are almost no conversations. And when there were I felt they were lacking because they only happened between two characters, there was almost no interaction between the four charcaters at the same time.

There were also a lot of minor time skips that happened when chapters changed between characters, so we lost of interactions that I wanted to see.

3.5*

This book was a bit of disappintment after Elantris which I gave 5 stars, since a lot of people said that mistborn was better than elantris.

I knew from the the beggining of the second part that I wouldn't give this book 5 stars, because it skipped over most of the training of Vin in her Allomantic powers. We see her knowing nothing about powers to being fairly competent after the time skip. I just wanted to see her develop her powers.

I also didn't feel like everyone was close to one another. Besides the meetings where they discussed their plans and some one on one training of Vin and someone else of the crew, we didn't see Vin interacting with anyone besides Kelsier and Sazed. (and one more character that wasn't part of the crew). And supossedely by the end of the book she was close to the crew, how?

Overall I liked the plot of the book, but I felt that most of the character interactions were cut out of the book. I will problably read the next book of this trilogy, but with my expectations very much lowered. I hope Brandon Sanderson other books are more like Elantris, than The Final Empire.

*4.5

This is the last book of the first arc of this series and we follow Sunny. I really liked seeing her growth through the book. I though the resolution of the war was a little unbeliaveble, and that everything ended to perfectly.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to continue reading more books set in this world.

3.5This was a reread. I knew that Artemis was sick, but it shocked me how serious it felt in the beggining of the book.The thing I didn't like about the book was the antagonistSPOILERS*
In the end of the book, the villain is “redeemed”, because he decided to go with Leonor and not explode the hospital.
First, I don't think what Tornabol feels for her is love, but instead it is obsession.
Second, he forced her to stay with him by brainwashing her. So basically kidnapping.
And for some reason, nobody mentions how their relationship is not healthy at all.
