No. Nope. And no. I dragged myself though this book purely in the hope that I would catch the bug. And it wasn’t worth it.

It took me roughly 6 times to try and read this book. But on the final time, it clicked for me. I understand why this is considered a classic. The writing is fantastic, the world building is amazing, and the characters are written in depth. However, I found it difficult to follow sometimes because there is no clear good guy or bad guy. There’s no one to clearly root for. Which isn’t a bad thing, there are better characters than others, but they’re all just people and you learn about their lives going through a game of gods. It’s really a great book and I plan on continuing the series after a short break.
He decidido valorar con 3 estrellas por el potencial que tiene, pero también pienso que tal y como está escrita se tira piedras contra su propio tejado. Creo que tanto la cantidad de personaje como la forma caótica de plasmar las diferentes tramas me han sacado demasiadas veces de la historia.
Por ahora voy a poner la saga a reposar, a ver si más adelante me animo a coger el siguiente.

I think the in media res and noun soup work in the books favor as a dash from one point of intrigue or battle to the next, to keep the reader as muddled as many of the characters. That said, I found it hard to care about any of the characters themselves at all. Dozens of cool guys with a secret cooler guy past and everyone several schemes deep at any given moment. It's an fun enough read, I will probably continue the series, but if it relies on making you care about these characters long term there is work to do. It's sort of anti-Sanderson, instead of reading like a source book it reads like a post about one mid-campaign TTRPG session, and now that I think about it that might literally be what it is.
