I’m enjoying it! I keep having to remind myself that the characters are pretty young because sometimes I picture them older and then they go and do something completely stupid (Kaladin, I’m looking at you right now) but it makes sense if you remember that they are either teenagers or just barely not teens.

I’m a cheapskate so I’m making do with Libby and occasionally also my actual library. If I really like a book, then I’ll consider purchasing a physical copy. I actually prefer reading physical books over audio, but I have so little time and so many other things I want to do that I had basically stopped reading entirely for a long time, and I was frustrated by that. About a year ago I decided that I was just going to force myself to make audiobooks work because I spend a lot of time in the car. Sometimes there isn’t an audio version, so I’ll check out the ebook version from Libby and have it on my phone, and it’s a really nice alternative to doomscrolling when I’m waiting in line or at the doctor’s office or something.
