Finished Project Hail Mary, Andy Weir, a little over a week ago, and finally dove into Wind and Truth, Brandon Sanderson. I'd been putting this off since I have a problem with finishing a series, or chunk of one in this case.
While I still love The Stormlight Archive, I think I've come to realize that Sanderson doesn't write believable enough dialogue for me. It comes across as flat and somewhat childish. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Only just finished River of Blue Fire, Tad Williams, and will likely finish book three and four of the quartet for my active audiobook.
What are your thoughts on Project Hail Mary? My wife's sister recommended it so my wife started it but she wasn't vibing with it.
I really enjoyed Project Hail Mary, but I can see how it's not for everyone. There's a lot of math and science talk which I enjoyed, but could feel textbooky for some. It's a fairly quick read so I'd recommend trying a few more chapters to see if it clicks, and moving on if not. Different strokes and whatnot!
Ah fair, my SIL is an engineer so I'm not surprised by that. My wife and I are both in the biology fields so we aren't affraid of science talk. Maybe the math makes the audiobook harder to digest and a physical copy would be better to try.
