Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare—and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium’s place has thrown everything into disarray. Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide—Adolin in Azir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah in Thaylenah. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade.

Story
Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian - leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules.

I think Joe Hill is a good story teller.
For this book literary hated the protagonist. I didn’t care what happened to them, I had more invested in the dogs.

The first book by Adrian I didn’t like.

I love this series and Shadows of the Apt books.
This book is largely a tedious boring noise except the very beginning and end. Most of the story is the ruminations of a 14 year old girl that seem to repeat concepts over and over. I found myself wishing something would happen that was interesting.

Story
A teenage girl awakens to find herself trapped in a coffin. She has no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there. Fighting her way free brings little relief - she discovers only a room lined with caskets and a handful of equally mystified survivors. Beyond their room lies a corridor filled with bones and dust but no people and no answers. She knows only one thing about herself - her name, M. Savage, which was engraved on the foot of her coffin. She finds herself in charge. She is not the biggest among them or the boldest, but for some reason the others trust her.

Story
A strange plague called the "Gets" is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget - small things at first, like where they left their keys... then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily - and there is no cure. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as "ambrosia" has been discovered - a universal healer, from initial reports.

Extreme animal abuse warning

A very hot going to cold story
Reviewed: 08-05-20
First part of the book was great. Good idea, great set up, interesting premise. Narrator was fantastic!
Second part of the book degraded into a B list slasher film. The “scary noise in the dark” troupe became exhausted.
Ending. Author hops on the deus ex machina lifeboat and abandons ship.
I’ve read The Troop and the entire animal torture thing isn’t scary to me, it’s just depressing. Cutter seems to dwell on it for pages. I hope he doesn’t have any dogs.
