![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have listened to previews for the other books he has narrated and he sounds great. This may also have something to do with the audio quality. Regular part of the narration when he is not voicing a character is slightly flat/dry in the beginning. Jim Kent narrator - this is the first time I have heard him. If an audio has the fuzzy sound in the background I return it. This clears up at the start of chapter 18. Chapter 2 there is a repeated phrase" the accented voice came from" Audio has a Fuzzy quality in some of the chapters for the first 17 chapters. Ok we get it, he's not holding his phone while he's driving. Needs to tighten up some of the dialogue. ![]() Song titles as chapter headings, While I don't mind this and am familiar with most of the songs used, if this is not your normal genre of music the chapter titles have no meaning. I definitely will be continuing with the series. Started a little slow for me but by the time I was done with this story I was looking for the next book. So I'm glad the story played out the way it did. Sola was likable, just never connected with her character. Kale and Deacon are both great characters. This shows that they actually took the time to develop their story and the character's. It's always a plus when you find a new and interesting paranormal twist created by an author. Love the world the author has created for characters. Good Story -Audio quality mixed till ch 18Įnjoyable, interesting, engaging and entertaining. ![]() ![]() ![]() I replace my computer only when the hard drive or some other vital component breaks down.

What’s your preferred tool for writing-a word processor like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, etc.? A pen and paper?Īll my projects tend to consist of two Microsoft Word documents – one contains the main piece of writing I’m working on, be it a novel or short story or anything else, and the other contains all other notes, missives, reminders and miscellany related to the project. I still do most of my editing late at night, though. Now, the opposite is true – I quit my day job and my wife and I had our first child, so these days I write in the early morning to early afternoon, while my wife and daughter are out of the house. This was back when I had a day job and no children. I used to write almost exclusively between the hours of midnight and five in the morning.

Dragonsteel, for example, will be kind of a bookend series. Other series touch on the idea of long-standing characters. One of these is the Stormlight Archive, where we have the Heralds who span ages, and which I eventually decided to break into two distinct arcs. For this reason, I built into the outline a couple of “core” series. ![]() As I was developing the Cosmere, I knew I wanted a few threads to span the entire mega-sequence, which was going to cover thousands of years. However, for those who want to dig deeper into what’s going on here, I wanted to talk about the Mistborn series as a whole.
