Sazed Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hey everyone, I'm Alex (female, haha)! I'm from Germany but I moved to the UK for uni and am now in my second year. I'm literally about to go to sleep so am not really sure what to write about, but I stumbled across this forum and just had to sign up. Will look more into it tomorrow, just thought I'd quickly introduce myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Welcome here, Alex . Is your forum name (Sazed) a reference to a character in the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson by any chance? Or did you choose the name for a different reason? What kind of books do you like to read? I hope you enjoy your time here . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sazed Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks, Athena! You're right, it is a reference to the Mistborn trilogy. I was struggling to come up with a name when I looked at my Kindle, which I also gave the name Sazed (you know, storing knowledge/books and all) and I decided to just go for it. I like the name, and I like the trilogy even more I read a mixture of books, really. Some YA, although I've been drifting away from that a bit lately, Fantasy, historical fiction, literary fiction, crime... Sci-Fi not so much, although I did recently read and adore The Passage by Justin Cronin. I think it's more the stuff set in and around space that I don't like so much (The Martian being an exception). My favourite book of all time would have to be The Book Thief by Markus Zusak though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 How cool your Kindle is named Sazed! So appropriate. I love the trilogy too! Brandon Sanderson is one of my favourite authors. Have you read anything else by him? I recently read The Alloy of Law (which takes place 300ish (?) years after the original Mistborn trilogy), which I liked but didn't love as much as the three Mistborn trilogy books. I really like most of the books I've read by him so far. It's nice you read a variety of books . Several people on here have read The Passage, though I haven't. I loved The Book Thief, several people on here have read it and liked it I believe . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sazed Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks I read The Rithmatist a while ago, but unfortunately I didn't really enjoy it. I think it might be because that's Young Adult and the writing style is slightly different, for some reason I just didn't click with it :/ I have The Alloy of Law on Audible though, and I'm planning on getting the book at some point as well. I really want to read all his other stuff as well, but there's so much I don't know when I'm meant to get to it all Awesome, I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new people with similar reading tastes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to read all his other stuff as well, but there's so much I don't know when I'm meant to get to it all I haven't read The Rithmatist yet, shame you didn't really enjoy it. I did quite like Warbreaker and Elantris. I've read 4 out of currently 5 Alcatraz books and loved them, but they're middle-grade so quite different from the works for adults. I've also read some shorter fiction by him which I liked. The Stormlight Archives, the Reckoners series (YA) and The Rithmatist (YA) are still on my TBR (to-be-read). I know what you mean, so many books, so little time.. it's a common thing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
