I’m reading Reaper by Will Wight. It’s the 10th out of 12.

    “Yumi and the Nightmare Painter” Brandon Sanderson, his new kickstarter book. Like most of his books, I often find them a bit slow to start, but get super invested (no pun intended) by about a third to halfway through.

      Hope it’s good! I decided to order the fancy hardcover edition the other day, so I’m waiting until it arrives to read this one. I’m excited, though!

        I thought it was good, Sanderson was selling it as a good first cosmere book, but there’s a lot of conversations that just go over your head if you’re not familiar w/ how things work in the cosmere. I think Tress is still probably a better first read for him.

          Well, luckily I ordered Tress too and was planning to start with that one! Of the two, which did you like better?

            It’s close. I enjoyed them both, but preferred Tress. Tress is more of an adventure, while Yumi sits in a setting and explores that one area more as well as relationships between characters.

            There were definitely parts of Yumi I liked more than Tress, but as a whole story, Tress was closer to my preferred style.

      I’ll definitely be grabbing that book once the mass market edition releases, although this one is really tempting me a bit more than even Tress did lol

        I did prefer the adventure arc of Tress, but Yumi was more about characters and their relationships with each other.
