Story4.5 out of 5 stars 774
In the near future, advances in medicine and quantum computing make human cloning a reality. For the wealthy, cheating death is the ultimate luxury. To anticloning militants, it’s an abomination against nature. For young Constance “Con” D’Arcy, who was gifted her own clone by her late aunt, it’s terrifying. After a routine monthly upload of her consciousness - stored for that inevitable transition - something goes wrong. When Con wakes up in the clinic, it’s eighteen months later. Her recent memories are missing. Her original, she’s told, is dead.

very interesting take on cloning

very interesting take on cloning and the impact it could have on the world while keeping it story driven and not to info dump worthy. The way he changes the normal trope of murder mystery upside down is amazing while putting a bit of scifi and real world aspects to the point it's very believable to our society.

Story5 out of 5 stars 96,454
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

best fantasy writer ever,

I don't understand how a writer can be so creative and so descriptive in such a cohesive large book that has multiple characters and multiple different story arcs it's a incredible work a must read and puts other writers to shame
