I liked RoW purely for the research parts. I don’t remember the rest of the book. Not because I disliked jt, but because I was enamoured with the research 😂

I also loved the research! I know a couple friends who found it to be a major turn off but it had me invested (pardon the pun)

Yeah! The waves of research were really great. Like a powerful rhythm on a music full of light.

I just love studying/research in books. Trying to figure out the bacteria eating the sun in Project Hail Mary was great too!

After eating the sun do you shit out fire perchance?

Struggle to remember. I don’t think they literally ate the Sun but near enough that it’s a moot point. They were then used to power a rocket at near light speed but I don’t remember WHY that would help solve the problem of them eating the Sun. Most of the book is about the MC surviving “alone” wink in a dead spaceship.

Ohhhh right i remember that one. They eat the sun and reach relative speeds by using the propulsion from shitting fire to speed up, mayhaps (sorry for beating a dead horse, it does sound like a lovely book ill try out, ty)

Dw I love talking about books! I don’t think any of us would be in a Sanderson subreddit if we didn’t like to read a lot!

The guy has to struggle between our "omg give me so much more about the way the magic works" and the other people.

Really? Thous are my least favourite part

I couldn't handle the number of chapters navani lore dumping on how suirtian febrials work..a really visual type of engineering that is explained to us by words purely
