One of the things I really want to see is the first storm.  So far we have only seen hints of its affects on the enviroment and locations of citys.

I can't wait to see this as well. It's going to be epic as far as the description of the land coping with the storm. It would be like a shock wave of plants sucking into their shells as the storm runs through the area.

This is most likely a personal thing.  In most books I read the point of view starts with a main character or characters and then the point of view switches as the characters seperate and new characters are added.  From the beginning you have more of an idea on how the stories relate together.  Right now it feals like I am reading three books at one time, a few pages from each, then on to the next in hope that in the end they tie together.

I felt the same regarding the chapters being a little too short, but I didn't think it detracted from the whole YET. I think he made the stories so distant for the sake of the story as a whole. This is his epic, his masterpiece and the fact that the story lines are so singular makes it really feel like these people are seperate, their own book merely combined in one. Which is really what our lives are, our own stories which when we connect with another person, becomes a single story.

. . . I can't believe I just read that . . .

Mistborn + Twilight? If there is any way to ruin my favorite series in the world, it's to combine it with the one thing (if I had a genie) that i'd wish into non existence.  >:(

@ Topic : I love Allrianne, she was one of those characters you loved to hate, just made me laugh the whole time. I wanna see short stories of her at some point.

Yeah, except that monkeys and apes are totally different.  Gorilla? Ape.  Monkey? Not an ape.

I evolved from an ape, not a monkey. There is your difference.  :D

:waits for this convo to explode into thread killing proportions:

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Which book should I read first?

As for my comment of reading Mistborn because it is ‘complete’, I said that because of a rule I have instigated now (for myself) that I try to wait until the series is over, or at least to the point by the time I finish the second to last book in the series, the last one is just coming out. I basically want to read all of them together. I started that rule because of WoT. I had to reread the series over twice as it was just too long between books and I would forget a lot of the little things (and some bigger ones) from prior books.

Thanks again to all for your suggestions.  :)


The only series he has that will be anywhere near that will be Way of Kings that is due out in August. Until then you are good with all his series being complete ones.

You're welcome. :D

I was thinking of going with Mistborn as that series is completed (well, at least I think it is)

All the series are technically complete. Elantris' sequel is more or less Mistborn. Warbreaker's sequel isn't in the works yet so don't hold off reading it just because it's not "complete" since it stands on it's own. Mistborn is currently complete as it's the first trilogy in a series. It's like saying the first 3 star wars don't stand on their own without the second 3 (that I pretend don't exist).

Anyways.......

Warbreaker. If I could have started with that I would have, very good book. Lots of humor and good action. Then i'd go on to Elantris and then Mistborn.

Or both?

I don't think they are formed by it. They talk about spren like they've been around for a long time. It seems like they are attracted to whatever it is more so then they are formed by it.

When I told him I had read it, he apologized to me because he thinks it poorly written.  I'm still looking forward to when he revisits it in the future.  Good story.

Why does he keep a copy in BYU's library if he doesn't want anybody to read it is the big question? Is it because it was his thesis or something and can't be removed? (I remember it being something like that)

The prologue with Szeth is officially my favorite of Brandon's so far.  Lashing is awesome!  Gravity control has always been intriguing to me and he's executed it so well!

I thought the prologue was really well done and laid a good basis for me to ask "What the hell did I just witness?!" Would that make Szeth your current favorite character as well? I think Kaladin is my favorite character so far in WoK, even if Shallan strikes closer to home for me since we're both artists.

I love curling. The Simpsons curling episode showed a basic ignorance of the rules of the game (I understand the ones they broke because it was the Simpsons, but they could have been more accurate with a minimum of effort, like not having both teams use the same color stones) which was to be expected, but the game is actually very interesting. It's all about physics and mechanics, so it's very geeky.

It's the only Winter Olympics sport that I can watch besides Snowboarding. I can't get enough curling come Olympics time. I record every single one. ^____^

Something about the word hoid screams achronym H. O. I. D.  No idea what it would be.

Don't start this again. LOL there like 3 pages of this HOID acronym stuff in another thread. Don't destroy another thread! T__T

@Fireborn: It is a joke. There was a song that was nominated for an academy award in the South Park movie back in 1999 called Blame Canada.

In which Canada was in fact blamed. It's a great song.

First thing I gotta say to spark conversation would be that Spren are awesome. I want one to follow me around wherever I go. Besides the one encounter of a Spren being intelligent which we currently don't know if it was real or just his imagination. I'm more inclined to assume it was real.


You should take into consideration that Kaladin is a looney.


I didn't know he was officially a looney.  :D Hey Spren could have been intelligent but I guess not now that Miyabi went and ruined that theory. Garsh. :writes Miyabi's name next to Ink's for spoiler sources:

The Way of Kings is a book instead the book. I love it.  :D

Sample of the recording of history? Sample of the person being looked at doesn't quite fit what he/they/it are looking for?
I think that "sample" refers to the quote itself.

That's what I was referring to. But what is the quote, history? study? prophecy? Until we have a date in which the current chapters are based in, we can't know for certain.
