Hi everyone! I'm a very avid reader and would love to add more reading people to The StoryGraph. The more friends, the more books I may want to read I'll see!

Added! Here's my profile https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/omegarob

I see you liked Piranesi - that was a really fun and interesting read. I've got The Way of Kings to read. I've heard great things about it (seems to be a huge book though)!

I LOOOOVE PIRANESI

I got it without having even read the blurb and daaaamn. I was absolutely hooked.

The Way of Kings is indeed big, but the writing style is not complex and the story is (for me) easy to follow. Lots of names, tho, which can get confusing.

Even better, the Stormlight Archive can be read without having read the other Sanderson books. Yeah there are some references to others but the experience won't tarnish if you don't read them.

TWOK is my favourite book, and the only one I own that I bought signed because all it meant to me

Ah same - I went into Piranesi blind and had no idea what I was in for. Such fascinating world building. It was really hard to put down!

I'm really hoping that TWOK lives up to all the hype. Everyone I know that has read it says it's great so I've got high hopes.
