I'm right there with you regarding Robin Hobb and Rothfuss. I just wish Rothfuss would write faster! I binge-read all the books in The Real of The Elderlings, while eagerly awaiting the third The Fitz and The Fool book. It was awesome. I've a fair chunk of The Sword of Truth as well. I'm currently reading The Wheel of Time and recently started the fourth book. I understand I have a lot to look forward to, and Sanderson has gotten a lot of rave about how he finished the series.
I really like The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne, the Powder Mage books by Brian McClellan and the Sorcery Ascendant Sequence by Mitchell Hogan.
Too many books, too little time.
Rothfuss drives me a little crazy too. I respect his process and you can tell that every sentence is meticulously crafted, but just give me the book! I haven't actually read Hobb's two most recent series, I definitely will at some point. They just take an emotional commitment that I'm not sure I'm ready to make right now
.The Wheel of Time slows down a little in the middle IMO, but I found the ending to be well worth it. I've heard of the Iron Druid and Powder Mage books, I will probably get to them at some point.
I hear you! My stack of books waiting to be read has gotten so silly that some of them have gone into storage. I don't have the space!
And thank you to the other kind welcomers!
