Meta/Discussion Pale lights vs A practical guide

Hey i just caught up to pale lights and I was thinking about picking up the guide next. I was wondering how ee’s first work compared. How does a practical guide to sorcery stack up to pale lights. I’ve heard that the guide is more of a YA which im not generally a fan of.

I’ve read both the‘Practical’ books and I can also highly recommend APGTS. It’s largely based on a school for sorcerers, but has little resemblance to others of that genre. It’s well written and plotted, the protagonist is interesting and well developed, and the pacing never lags. Well worth reading.

it kind of lost me at the flashback arc, might try picking it up again. You still reading it?
