Gone with the Wind is my dad's absolute favorite book, like he has probably reread it a hundred times. I've been working through it for over a year. We love talking about it but I have to break it up with other books of different genres or I burn out. It is a really good story!

[@avapaull3814]

I would recommend rereading Empire of Storms before Kingdom of Ash, rather than Tower of Dawn. The information you need before going into KoA is found more in EoS than ToD.

I started to read a chapter a night/little by little until I got absolutely obsessed. The characters are so singular & unique & flawed. Ah! I could go on forever. Please pick it up!

[@xyhanx]

@@lisak8492 What I can remember is that the Lord Ruler in the 1st book was a fraud named Rashek. He stole the true Lord Ruler's position. Did you miss that part or I need to recheck what I read? 🤣

[@lisak8492]

@@xyhanx what I got from it is that Rashek IS the lord ruler, the hero of ages was supposed to save the world from the deepness and be granted a power (that I think might just be allomancy itself) and Rashek got jealous and hated him so he took the power for himself, so that's why he was both a Feruchemist AND an allomancer. And also, what he said to vin, that he is their God whether they want it or not or something like that, I guess by killing him they released the threat of the deepness again and I guess that's what they're going to fight against in the next book (I hope I dont sound dumb and end up being completely wrong)

Though I definitely do love the classic ones - Pippi, Emil, Barnen i Bullerbyn, Karlsson and so on - my absolute favourites are the ones that not a lot of people have heard of - Allrakäraste syster, Mirabell, Skinn Skeping. I don't know how many of her stories have been translated (most of them, I assume), but I would honestly recommend any and every one of them

[@AceVonS]

Oh, I love Gone With the Wind. And yes, you should definitely read the book first and then watch the movie. The book tells you so much more than the movie (isn't that always the case?) and you get to live that story more deeply. But since I was a preteen when I saw the movie (and fell in love) it wasn't really plausible for me to read the book then. I actually just finished it last month and yes, it did take me ten months. That was my fault, I should've read it in English from the start, but no, I had to try the Finnish translation which sucked!!!!! Mitchell's writing is so alive and vibrant and the translation just... wasn't. Have fun with it.

I love longer fantasy books because I want to dive really deeply into the world, and you don't get to do that as much in shorter books

[@reaganmakenzie]

for Carry On, you have to push through the first 150 pages and then it gets better (basically the book starts the pick up when Baz arrives). I've read the book about 2-3 times and I usually listen to the audiobook for the first 150 and then read the rest physically. The author even admitted that the first 150 were kind of boring but necessary for the story lol
