Damn 45 bucks for an audio book. Used my audible free credit for it and will cancel subscription after, do I keep the book?
I remember reading something from Sanderson where he said he saw King writes 2k words a day, so if that was good enough for King that was good enough for him. The difference with Brandon is he’s said he doesn’t do a ton of revisions compared to other authors. So he writes, revises a few times, and boom, new story.
I just finished Oathbringer. November is an eternity away - not only for book reasons. So, next... Mistborn or Warbreaker?
Warbreaker has more characters you will recognize from Stormlight Archive. Mistborn is better. Can’t go wrong though. I’d probably go ahead and knock out Warbreaker since it’s stand alone and SA is fresh on your mind.
I just finished Hero of Ages, should I move on to Alloy of Law? It’s usually hard for me to get into sequels that don’t include the original characters.
Yes immediately. They’re great and there are plenty of callbacks to previous characters and plot lines.
About to begin reading WoK tonight after finishing the Lightbringer series. After reading reviews here and online, pretty stoked to be diving in.
Can someone on a spoiler predict tell me the plot behind the reshi islands and of it's due to come into play again. I just recently had it pop in my head but can't remember it all.
Spoiler Isn't that the place with the great shells. I remember the trader assistant breaking her legs or something. Found a summary of her story: https://stormlightarchive.fandom.com/wiki/Rysn
Thought I had ordered a while back, but remembered after this post that there was some issue with Amazon the first time I tried. Long story short, I have officially preordered. Let the reread begin
laxjoe The Blackfish Are you guys just rereading OB? I can’t imaging rereading the entire series a month before launch
Book arrives on Tuesday. I just finished part 1 in book 3 last night. I will not be reading the new one on Tuesday Hopefully I’ll be done with this in the next week or so
I came across this the other day: https://www.tor.com/2020/11/11/befo...cap-of-brandon-sandersons-stormlight-archive/ Can't vouch as I haven't read it yet, was waiting until I get Rythm of War in a couple days
I’m only halfway through WoR in my reread so it’ll be a minute for me. I’m unwatching the thread until I finish. See y’all on the other side.
I read chapter by chapter recaps of the first 2 books and EdgeDancer in preparation for book 4. I still need to read the recaps for Oathbringer as well. I am almost done with Fires of Vengeance (released last week) so will finish that first, read the OathBringer recap and start book 4 at the end of this week. I am excited.
Got mine today as well. This is my first hardback in the series. Holy shit the book is massive. I have 1/2 a book to finish first then will get to this but is likely going to take quite awhile.
Not sure I've told this story or not. My wife playfully made fun of the size of the book calling me a nerd etc. Well I took one of the hardback books on vacation and my bag got flagged for soemthing. Wife looks at me and says "if it's because of your huge nerd book you'll never hear the end of it" Spoiler alert: it was. We both got a huge laugh out of it when my book arrived yesterday
My wife cracks me up with the reading. I'll go 2-3 months on/off where I read almost every night instead of watching TV. She bragged the other day that she read an entire chapter of one her books. "Congrats on reading 20 pages over the course of 6 months." She likes to have people recommend books and she orders them and never reads them.
I am 6 chapters in to Rhythm of War - I am quite impressed! Highly recommend you read recaps of the previous books at the very least otherwise it will be difficult
I just finished book 11 of Wheel of Time and I'm actively planning my next series read. With WOT likely becoming my all time favorite would you guys say Stormlight Archive would be the obvious next choice? Other choices are Malazan Book of the Fallen, Mistborn series, Chronicles of the Black Company, and the Broken Empire Trilogy
Closest to Wheel of Time out of those are Stormlight and Mistborn. Malazan is completely different as is Broken Empire, which I didn't like that much. Not familiar with Black Company. Two other series that are like Wheel of Time, are very good, and are complete are Lightbringer and Licanius.
If you haven’t read Mistborn, I’d read that before starting Stormlight. It’s the best intro to Sanderson imo
I plan on starting Rhythm of War today. I haven't read any sort of recap so we'll see how this goes. Edit: Actually, I think I'm going to read Dawnshard first. It's available on Kindle.
