I just wanted to test if audiobooks are still a pass for me or not. Happily I'm ok with them now, especially that my current job makes my brain unable to read in any reasonable speed but it allows me to listen while driving.

So... I heard a lot about Sanderson. A lot of good things. Soooo... my first rating was 2 out of 5 and my brain called it “bad but edible”. But later I picked a different title and the contrast between this and that other title was so enormous... Right now I'm just angry that there is a popular author who earns a shitload of money, makes a crowdfunding to earn another huge pile and... and produces this? It would be an impressive book from a teenager but not from an established author. From such an author that is popular it's a shameless money grab and I am so sorry that I have even made another read count in Libby for it... it didn't deserve my time, my attention nor the slightest bit of any earning this read gives him. “Edible” is not enough when there are so many, too many good titles fighting for limited time of readers.

Soooo... I wonder... I will probably avoid Sanderson for a long time. Maybe even in general and forever. Super bad first impression.
