  • It’s been a long while since I read it, but each book got a little bit more pretentious with the author shoe horning his own world view into the readers face. That was annoying, but even more so because I recall disagreeing with his view quite a bit.

    Also, each book was essentially the same plot. Universe works to keep the two protagonists apart, a bunch of fucked up shit happens, and at the end of the books they’re back together having learned nothing.

    But the real issue I had with the later works was the very real Mary Sue of the two protagonists. Those characters just could do everything. It got boring and stale after a couple books of it.

    I still hold Sword of Truth to be a good book by itself. And I do recall liking the next two books at least. But as a whole, I do not think it’s good storytelling.
















  • Not OP, and I don’t have a brand recommendation, but a word of advice. If you get a steam mop, it may be beneficial to use distilled water and not tap water. If you have hard tap water, the junk will build up in your mop and you’ll need to clean it.

    Tap water will work just fine, but it will effectively shorten the lifespan.

    But I really can’t recommend a steam mop enough. No chemicals, just water and power. And it cleans even the nastiest of spills.
