Had to look this up because I thought the Lightbringer was Brent Weeks. Totally different series. I'll check it out.

I just finished a listen of The Wheel of Time myself. I listened to it while falling asleep. Took about 2 years to get through it that way. I already know the story, and parts of it were fairly easy to fall asleep to makes it a perfect way to deal with insomnia.

Also waiting for the next Sanderson book. Just finished The Lost Metal! So many cosmere tie-ins!

I'm listening to Fool's Errand by Robin Hobb to fall asleep to now as I've read the series before, and reading Ghost Brigade which is book 2 of Old Man's War.

@Albbi @IronRain found out about Wheel of Time from Tumblr of all places. Started the audiobook series as something to accompany me on long drives or workouts but they keep being checked out at my library app lol. Was interesting to me that you could tell it was written a few decades ago - some of the writing seems a bit dated even though altogether it's a very well-structured series.

Also absolutely loved Red Rising, didn't realize there was a new addition!
