182 - Always Blame the Parents
I had previously mentioned being excited for Words of Radience by Brandon Sanderson. Just today, I arrived at what is commonly referred to as the Sanderson Avalanche where all of the scheming and dangly threads that he’s been depositing throughout the book get wrapped up. It tends to make the last bit of his books decidedly gripping. With the last Wheel of Time book, it ended up being about half of the book... granted, he had to wrap up all of Robert Jordan’s schemes that had been getting dangled for the previous 13 books, so I can’t really fault him. That having been said, apparently this series should end up being very intense as I have no idea where he is planning on going to fill out another 8 books. After reading a few interviews leading to the fact that he has intended this to be a 10 book cycle comprised of two separate series’. I find this intriguing and am excited to see what will end up happening.
