For me, it gets better with each re-read, too.

I've just finished LFB again. It really does get better every time.

Hello!

I agree with the others, it really does get better with every read.

I'm sure I noticed things I hadn't before.

My last re-read (3rd time all the way through) was peppered with "How did I miss that?" moments.

I enjoyed the chrons more the second time as well. I think its because the first time I read them for like 5 hours straight, until 1.30 in the morning. Which was fun, but meant I missed alot too!

Yep, same here. I am on my second run of the series mid-way through LFB. Freaking great stuff. I must admit though, I am not looking forward to Linden. I find that since I know how the story goes, when I read things about Elohim & the Creator in LFB I really pay attention more than I did the first time.

Interesting ... I remember the same dread on my second read of the second chronicles. I particularly dreaded doing Linden's flashbacks with her parents. It was too ... uncomfortable. But I grew out of it over time; reading the Gap series made Linden's parents seem mild.

Way back when, I read the first 3 books all the way through a couple times, then shelved them. A few years later, I saw TWL was coming out, so I re-read them.

Then as each next book came out, I re-read the series from the start. About five years ago, I re-read the whole first 2 series again... and then again just prior to Runes release.

I'm not sure I'll have time for a full series re-read before this October, but I'll re-read Runes for sure by then :)
