[@POOHEAD189] You gave a bunch of nerds a platform to gush about their favorite books.  And so it continues. XD

Fiction: (fantasy)

I'm not gunna lie, the primary reason I ended up with this book is because I had only just started my audible account and was looking for a long enough book to ideally overlap into the next month (since the subscription give you one book per month).  I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked this book, even if it is still the only book in the series.  Essentially, the main character is a surprisingly competent young lad from ye olde backwater town.  His town gets attacked by rudedude slavers, who ultimately end up carrying off his best friend.  He ends up on a sort of coming-of-age-ish story to go to the nation's capital and join yonder elite royal academy to try becoming a badass mofo so he wreak super revenge on the jerks what ninja'd his bestie.  Meanwhile, bigger things are happening in the world that tangentially end up evolving out hero, whilst crayballz magical mumbo-jumbo is stirring in the wilds and threatening to break away from the otherwise super low-magic fantasy setting that exists throughout most of the book.




On another note, I just realized there is a release date next month for the third Stormlight Archive book: Oathbringer.
