Hahahahahaha, when I saw this bumped I had to see if someone did. You, sir, made my night
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

I'm actually theorizing at the moment that the bargain the Heralds made for their power wasn't with Almighty. I don't really have a basis for that, except for the vague feeling that a deal made with a power for good shouldn't send its champions to a place of eternal torment for long periods of time.
Good point. But that leads us to the question, who did they bargain with?
Brandon has always talked about "spiritual DNA" in relation to allomancy. Not sure what that means but it does seem to indicate that it's got something to do with the soul.
There are always haters out there. I don't see why you let them get to you. They are in the minority. Just ignore them. Didn't Brandon say he was starting on Book 14 January 1st? He wrote the Mistborn book last year. He is also a known and diagnosed workaholic.
Also, note... it is much better for the last book to be great than it is for it to be out fast. If he spends more time on it, it gets polished more. Anyone remember how there was talk of a Robert Jordan documentary and it was going to be called The Wit of the Staircase. This means that you have your best ideas when you are coming down the staircase. Or doing something other than working.
Why let this get to you? I am one of those WoT fans that is half dreading the last book. Then it will be over. I am about the same age and Brandon and started reading WoT in High School. I remember when one of the books came right around my college finals. I read the book instead of studying. I don't want it to be over. It will probably take me months to make it through the last book since I don't want it to end.
I don't know why people even bother getting upset over this.
The time between Stormlight books will give us plenty of opportunity to memorize and theorize.
Yeah, I've been following his tweets and I'm amazed that he accomplishes as much as he does in a day. I know if I tried to do this it would take me at least twice as long as Brandon and it wouldn't be half as meticulous. The man is amazing!
Didn't you know? Brandon's the one who holds the 16th shard, Creativity.
