I finished The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson (Stormlight book 1). Massively enjoyed this one. Spent more time than I should have during the holidays reading it.
Now I’m reading The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. It’s a historical fiction novel set in occupied France during World War 2. I’m finding it ok so far. It’s easy to read and the plot is fine, but I’m not very emotionally invested and don’t love the writing style.
Edit: I want to clarify that the topics and themes visited in this book are very emotionally heavy. However, the writing feels like an emotional stiff arm to me. It’s just so distant and impersonal, that it reduces the impact of the difficult topics.
