Thanks for the heads up, but I knew what I was getting myself into haha.

Basically so much stuff happens in book two and 3 of Stormlight that I have no idea if you’ll enjoy it at all.

Tap for spoilerRysn from the interludes of Way of Kings has the following things happen to her:

She continues to work with her Vstim and becomes a master trader.

She falls off a giant greatshell (the size of an island) and becomes paraplegic.

She is given a ship.

The Lopen is a hilarious Knight Radiant, and you will quote everything he says.

Additionally the Voidbringers (called Fused or Singers) have returned and are waging a full war on Rosharran factions. These are the souls of ancient Parshmen/Parshendi who fully control the flesh of modern Parshmen made sentient.

This faction is led by Navani and Dalinar Kholin from the mythical castle in a sky from Urithuru, they task Rysn with finding a cache of weapons or supplies to aid in the war effort.

Chiri-Chiri is a that Rysn has that can absorb Stormlight.

In another interlude we know that the crew of a ship heading to Aimia was poisoned by a creature made up entirely of cremlings (basically thing a collective creature) that was “covered in tattoos” as part of their disguise.

I am genuinely not sure you’ll enjoy it, but maybe! May I ask why you didn’t like Way of Kings? It may help me figure out if you won’t like Dawnshard.

!eternalplaylist@crazypeople.online might suit your needs.

Edit 2: got it!

It’s funny you say this, because for 500 bucks I am actually debating between the two as my Christmas present to myself this year.

I think I’d prefer a Steam Deck for no particular reason. 🏴‍☠️

“The most important words a man can say are, “I will do better.” These are not the most important words any man can say. I am a man, and they are what I needed to say.

The ancient code of the Knights Radiant says “journey before destination.” Some may call it a simple platitude, but it is far more. A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us.

But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination.

To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one.

Camping is great. Especially if we have nearby rivers or lakes to kayak and swim in.

I haven’t even hit act 2, but I am having a really good time.

Playing on expeditioner (normal) and have been having fun with the combat system - some boss fights require practice.

Soundtrack is incredible. I find the soundtrack a little loud compared to the voices on occasion, however, and had to turn this down a smidge.

The story is also well set up in Act 1 from what I can tell.

Lavender Town is more creepy.

Ecruteak is kind of depressing with the Burned Tower, but that’s always got a happy ending.

I’m always depressed when I have to go into Lumiose City since it’s giant and annoying to navigate without using Taxis.

On my devices where it’s available I usually set it to 80-85%.
