characters coming to life in our minds, it's like living a different life and when you finish it's kind of gutting because that life "ends," but you can always go back for a re-read!
@TigraineMantear Read it at the right time of my life. It was the much needed step up in complexity after David Eddings and Dragonlance. It IMMENSELY expanded the boundaries of what fantasy could be, and became an all consuming passion with each new book. So much foreshadowing, connections, clues
@TigraineMantear It’s a combo of characters I love, mythology that fascinates, humor that just gets me and well it’s everything. Haven’t found anything that matches that yet.
@TigraineMantear Those final lines in A Memory of Light are just too perfect. Ties off the loop on decades of writing and reading in such an excellent way.
