This was an odd experience. That said, I would have watched the movies, schlocky though they may be.

I’ve hit Supernatural levels of just….done. I’m only a bit sorry. I just can’t get into this or care anymore.

 Twisting and sometimes disturbing, this one harkens back to Relic - thinly plausible answers for something that is beyond explanation. It had that high octane, shits-going-down-NOW sense that the early books had and played into well.

I got two of my wishes for this series: we're back to weird monsters and Constance is gone.

Poor Aloysius is never going to be happy. To be fair, he tends to ruin his own happiness 9 times out of 10, but still.
The back and forth with the writer and film crew drags things down, but eventually pays off nicely. Have patience.

The addition of Brandon Sanderson's writing has made this series INFINETELY more tolerable! There was humor, plot and dialogue moved faster and more smoothly... I can honestly say I'm very looking forward to finishing this now.

King Lear by William Shakespeare
Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.

Sound quality is not great and it's hard to keep track of who is who. Nice thought to catch up on lots of Shakespeare I've not read, but not working for me. At all.
