Read this as an audio book on a long car trip. 10/10 will read again, very fun story.

Review of 'Rhythm of War' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I really liked it. I don't want to spoil anything and am hesitant to write much in a review. Was this perfection in a book? No. Was this a dumpster fire of a book? Again, no. This is very much a Brandon Sanderson Stormlight book that continues and expands the story of his characters.
cannotbechanged reviewed Skyward by Brandon Sanderson (Skyward, #1)
cannotbechanged reviewed Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett (Founders trilogy series -- 1)
Review of 'Foundryside' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
This book was fine. As positives:
- Didn't have mopey hero syndrome
- Had some surprises I didn't anticipate
The things that were negative for me:
- The dialog felt shallow
- I wouldn't want to spend time with any of the characters
Ultimately, I am ambivalent towards this book. It is a fine book, just not one that resonated with me very much.

cannotbechanged reviewed The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson (The Mistborn Saga, #6)
Review of 'The Bands of Mourning' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
First, if you haven't read Sanderson before, this would be a very spoiler-y start to the Mistborn series. I enjoyed reading from the beginning, and I think you would too. At least go back to book 5 though.
Second, if you liked the original Mistborn series, I think you'll like this book. Previously shallow characters (or even just some of their traits) were filled out quite a bit. I found myself enjoying some of the characters even more than before, so that was good.
Finally, the book isn't as long as some of Sanderson's other writings. But the story didn't feel rushed and I feel like this is an excellent addition to the Mistborn series.
cannotbechanged reviewed Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn, #5)
Review of 'Shadows of Self' on 'Goodreads'

I had some hesitations before starting this book, I wasn't as enamored with its immediate predecessor as I was with the Mistborn trilogy. It took a little bit before this book got its hooks into me, but it definitely did. I greatly enjoyed the original Mistborn trilogy, and I enjoyed this book too.
cannotbechanged reviewed Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson (Warbreaker, #1)
Review of 'Warbreaker' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Humor was good, pacing was good, action was good, character development was good. The only disappointment, if I dare call it that, is that now I'm done reading the book and there is not anymore to read here.
