⛈ Stormlight Archives Series Reread ⛈

I have decided what my next series I am going to be rereading and it is the Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson. Rhythm of War came out late last year and I have gotten around to reading it yet simply because I feel like I will definitely be needing a refresher on these books as it’s been over a year that I finished Oathbringer! I am very excited by also a bit nervous as these are very large books and I don’t know if I’m in the right reading space right now to tackle them but nevertheless I am definitely going to try because I am desperate to see what is going to happen next in the series! I know a lot of people love Dalinar but Kaladin is my absolute favourite and I need to relive everything again!

Opening Lines

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is a freebie so I decided to go with a prompt from around this time last year which was opening lines. Just like last year I decided to go with the first line from 10 books on my physical TBR! These are all very high on my reading list and seeing some of these opening lines definitely makes me excited to get into a few of them!!
