Got up to right after the Sharum'tings first day practicing with Enkido on my first day with book 4. Thus far I love it as much as I hate it. Nothing ruins a series more than invincible protagonists, and Jadir and Arlen are starting to look really invincible with mind-reading powers to boot. Still, I was so happy to see Ashia as a PoV charatcer. She earned that spot and was more interesting in a chapter and a half than Leesha and Roger combined the entire last book.

Just finished up book 3 and I'll be hunting for the next one around town because I want to see what happens after that ending (assuming Brett doesn't go the "Lol ward magic can heal all wounds all the time" route).

Also I understand now your premonition of Leesha becoming really uninteresting. It's like Brett ran out of ideas on how to make her character important.

I've finished book 4
Arlen and Jardir have very small roles
Leesha is less boring and shitty
Brett is possessed by the spirit of GRRM who seems to have forgotten he has not yet died and become a ghost, so he doesn't need to possess people
Yeah shit gets kinda nuts. Let me know as you progress

Thanks for the recommendation of The Warded Man. It has some prominent flaws, but it's a good read outside of the holy trinity (Sanderson, Rothfuss, Butcher) that's more than 300 pages long and that's exactly what I wanted. Looking forward to the second one.

Finished it last night. I also bought the second one when I went to the bookstore so I'll start reading that tonight.

I didn't like the ending to the first one. Felt way too much like bullshit "9/11 tehroarists hate muh freedoms", what with the cowardly backstabbing arabs attacking the innocent white folk.
The second one massively, massively mended that. You should enjoy it.

Yeah that felt really rushed. Mr. Longname was only around long enough to go "Haha! We are friends apparently but now I will betray you because reasons." before the next timeskip, and then suddenly he's the prophet of god riding out of the desert to cleanse the world.
I'm optimistic about the next one because looking at the table of contents it has less timeskips, I'm looking forward to it.

Hasn't 'Dentistry' come up with a paste yet that can safely removed dental plaque?

If you brushed and flossed (srsly though floss is good) right now you could get rid of all the plaque. The colour would stay, but over time would revert to normal
Any tooth decay would still be there but otherwise the teeth would be fine.

Crazy. Makes me wish I'd considered becoming a dentist. Thank you.
