I could rant for ages about sanderson's problems

he's shit at writing women, they're all brilliant and sassy
he's shit at writing comedy
he's shit at writing anything related to sex
he's dogshit at writing a plot for women
all his characters do in all his stories is all figure out the magic system by themselves and power creep throughout every book

I DID love way of kings for all its faults but some fantasy writers after so many books it's all the same shit, like I loved Elantris, Mistborn, etc. from this fat mormon faggot but I just can't anymore
same as Joe Abercrombie I devoured First Law Trilogy in a weekend as I loved the action, then read The Heroes, then I couldnt stomach the dumb bastard as all his characters talk the same with the same witty comebacks to everyone

overall I would say its meh, the anon saying it's sooo complex is talking bullshit, there's some stupid magical realm for every magical race and class or some shit, that's basically where the complexity comes from, it has some cool concepts like ancient races/factions of undead armies or whatever, it's comic book slop if you ask me in how the plot advances

gardens of the moon was d-d-d-d-d-DOGSHIT but deadhouse gates actually is a nice read with a interesting set of plots, if you check out anything from malazan listen to the online tip I listened to and start with book 2, it's all new POV's anyway from gardens of the moon for like 90% of it

I would say deadhouse gates shits big time on gardens of the moon, you will probably love it

what do /lit/ people think about Wandering Inn? I finished volume 1 and it was kinda shocking but I am dying to talk spoilers about this shit as its so unique
