I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

I just finished up a first time read of Wheel of Time series. Solid 8 months of reading but 100% worth it. Mat Cauthon is my second favorite character ever written I think.

Who is your first favourite character ever written?

[–] teft@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Teft from the Stormlight Archive.

I could never keep the "chosen" straight. Some die, then get reincarnated, but as someone else that you kinda new. Maybe If O had crushed the series im 8 months instead of book by book as they were released if would have been easier to follow.

And yes, Mat is GREAT, which made Perrin super unlikable for me, just due to the unintentional comparison.

Honestly, same with Perrin for me. By the end of the series I wanted to skip Perrin chapters. He's just so....Perrin.

As for the Chosen I couldn't keep them straight at all. I had to look them up on the WoT wiki and try to keep from spoilering myself.
