While Elif Shafak’s writing proved quite disappointing, Augustina Bazterrica’s phenomenal storytelling and world-building completely made up for it. I finally managed to finish the 3rd book in Brandon Sanderson’s epic saga Mistborn (with over 2000+ pages in just 3 books), and started with a very popular crime series by Steig Larsson, Millennium trilogy, opening with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
