I'm reading them for the second time; I'm on the third book. I like them quite a lot. They are quite dense, high fantasy type books with a somewhat complicated but unusual magic system, and inventive plot twists. The fights can get very brutal, though, and there's bloody wars, lots of people die, and it all takes place in a horrendously dystopian world. But it's compelling, even so, which is saying something, because I am the kind of person who shies away from exuberant violence and drawn-out battles.

I've read the first two books, but I haven't got around to Oathbringer yet. It took me nearly four days to read the second one.

Start with Why by Simon Sinek. Great book that you can apply to business or personal life.
Most people know what they do, some even know how - but how many truly know why they do what they do and the way they do it? Very insightful.

I love fantasy, so I'm reading Kate Elliott's Crown of Star Series. I also listen to star trek audio books while I'm drawing starship schematics.
