I know you’re thinking it. I saw you roll your eyes. What, do the words “omniscient narrator” mean nothing to you? If you're a fan of fantasy and haven't read the Mistborn trilogy yet, you have no excuses." - Forbes on Mistborn El personaje principal no es ni simpático, ni me gustó. De hecho a medida que se revelava más sobre su vida me gustaba cada vez menos. Killing is desperation, not strength. To live without killing… that is a strong society. If the reverse were true, my lands would not be withering away, like crops long without water…” Damn, that guy could be profound. And depressing. Five stars. Should be narrating documentaries about disasters like Chernobyl. Or my love life.

The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England" (Secret Project #2) by Brandon Sanderson. this is a story about a man who wakes up in medieval england with no memory, but a deep feeling of great loss, and a physical handbook to guide in this new adventure. we get to learn about this world that is like ours, but with the technology to travel to multiple dimensions, while also having augments to strengthen your human body. but ultimately, this story made me realize that from this point on, i think i will only read sanderson's cosmere stories. Creo que gran parte del peso de que te guste (o no) esta novela recae en su particular sentido del humor. Si te gusta, lo tienes hecho. Si no te convence... No creo que te resulte demasiado entretenida. Al fin y al cabo el humor es algo super personal y subjetivo, y no a todos nos hacen reir las mismas cosas. A mi personalmente me gustó, y por eso la disfruté tanto a pesar de una trama más flojita, una narración mucho más simple, y una magia (porque sí, algo de magia hay) mucho menos desarrollada de lo que Sanderson nos tiene acostumbrados. So, let’s discuss—I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook! Does the sci-fi standalone format work for you? Is Brandon Sanderson actually a talking banana in disguise? Let us know in the comments below!In case you are wondering what to expect from this non-Cosmere novel, Sanderson explained that three different seeds came together here:

Moreover, these medieval dimensions, though as old as our reality, are about half a millennium behind in technology and social development, giving the dimensional traveler an Earth-lite™ experience, a “semi-accurate experience reminiscent of medieval England” – and Sanderson the creative license and freedom for anachronisms and new additions, such as speaking modern English or mythical beings called aelfs (elfs) or landswights. In a nutshell, interdimensional travel is time travel in disguise, without having to deal with altering history and its complex consequences – and adding tourism is a wonderful twist to it. But if you’re looking for something closer to Sanderson’s usual style, with deeply complex magic systems and multiple intricate POVs, this one may not be your cup of tea. Or whisky. Or banana smoothie.

Tress (Secret Project #1) was also a fun adventure, but I felt it developed its world and especially the characters so much better and had a better narrative voice. It's hard to love a first person narrative like this one when you don't like the main character, and I wasn't too invested in this guy for most of it. Un hombre despierta en medio de un claro, con jeans y una capa. No recuerda cómo llegó ahí, quién es, su nombre ni nada sobre sí mismo. Sin embargo, no tarda en entender que está en una dimensión alterna que replica el Medioevo y que hay unas personas buscándolo. A man awakes in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help from the "real world" should have been a guidebook entitled The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, except his copy exploded during transit. The few fragments he managed to save provide clues to his situation, but can he figure them out in time to survive? This is a fun, silly adventure story, but ultimately it's more surface level than I've come to expect from Sanderson and left me with a ton of unanswered questions about the world and shallow characters.

Vanderbilt on The Secret of the Sul’Dam: Subtle Changes to the Way the One Power Works in The Wheel of Time TV Series 43 mins ago Comencemos, eso de "fascinante" que anuncian no lo vi por ningún lado. Ni con una lupa, ni con el mejor microscopio fabricado por el ser humano. In this six-part audio series, Christina Walsh is determined to change that. After struggling with the loss of her father, she sets out on a journey to bring the justice that has eluded her to the families of other victims. And she starts with a particularly strange case. The murder of world-renowned violinist Leona McPherson who mysteriously disappeared years ago after a concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. As Christina digs deeper, the story gets stranger. Leona was a prodigy, someone too good to be forgotten, but that’s exactly what has happened. She’s been forgotten. Entirely. By everyone who knew her. From the gushing music critic in her hometown to the detectives investigating her murder, even her own mother. Había visto opiniones muy dispares sobre este libro, así que lo empecé con un poco de miedo sobre lo que me iba a encontrar. Al final, ni tan bien ni tan mal. Entretenido, sin más.Every year in the United States there are fifteen thousand murders, give or take a few hundred. Of those, nearly forty percent go unsolved. Como dije el tono de este libro es mucho más parecido a la saga middle-grade de Sanderson, Alcatraz versus los Bibliotecarios Malvados, que cualquier otro libro adulto o juvenil que hubiera sacado en el último tiempo. Ya que se sostuvo por la narración en primera persona de protagonista y su forma de hacerlo, las bromas que hacía, los pensamientos que tenía y ese humor de autoburla, muy Alcatraz.
