Through Day 2. Just running thoughts. Im sure they look dumb. Spoiler These soul stamps and runes - Are they just Aons ? Idk if this takes place in Elantris or not. Seems sort of similar, but also not. The Rose Empire?? The bloodsealer and his creatures. Those creatures sound a lot like kandra from mistborn
You don’t sound dumb not sure what you want answered or not but I will say the story takes place on the planet Sel which is where Elantris takes place as well.
I dont want anything answered. At least right now. Just random ponderings. Im really liking this. Like an Ocean's 11 type feel
Started the first Mistborn. Just got to the description of a steel inquisitor at the end of chapter two :o. Sounds painful
Through part 4 of Mistborn, loving it. Spoiler Kelsier just died at the hands of the Lord Ruler, but I don't think he's finished yet. Something with the eleventh metal, maybe Vin figures it out and it brings him back to life or something. I wonder if there's anything with those inquisitor spikes and how Terrismen? like Sazed can store power in metals. This is great stuff.
Alloy Ch 9. Spoiler Big fan of Marasi. But boooo at her pushing Broken Windows Theory. Also when Wax clocks her as illegitimate and Wayne says he waits until at least the 2nd date to call them a bastard. Lmaooooo
Wayne is amazing. Shadows of Self, ch 8ish Spoiler When Renatte sends a messenger to Wax's house to bring a gun for him to test out. Wayne asks the messenger if she sent anything for him. Messenger says he's to slap Wayne. Wayne sticks his ass out trying to get the messenger to slap it. Fucking dying. I dont audibly chuckle while reading but that killed me
Shadows of self ch 26 Spoiler Lessie was Bleeder the entire time. Wowwwwwww. That's pretty fucked up by Sazed. Is he going to be super bitter now ? Also good to have TenSoon back
Spoiler yeah kinda, it is Sazed while also being the embodiment of both ruin and preservation Sazed would have probably never done that nor needed to, but Harmony would and did.
Spoiler Not sure if you’re a fan of The Watchmen, but think like Dr Manhattan before and after. Basically a different person after omnipotence
Bands of Mourning ch 2 Spoiler Just met ReLuur and explained Investiture and Identity. How it translate to Feruchemy and Allomancy . I'm not sure I really grasp it all. But probably will as I read more.
Have it loaded up. Then lost metal. I feel like it's a nod to something obvious or a call back to era 1 but I'm not picking it up. Spoiler But as I'm typing this. Scarred arm. Kelsier??
Finished Lost Metal. Wayne is gonna be one of my all time faves. As far as the cosmere goes - I think not reading in publications order and just doing series by series (ive read MB1 and 2, Elantris and Warbreaker) was fine until the 2nd half of The Lost Metal. But I think I was missing on a lot of plot threads tied to whatever stormlight books were published prior to TLM
From what I remember of Oathbringer, it's one of the slowest builds sans flashbacks, which are gnarly, but just a mega avalanche at the end
100%, and the avalanche makes it all worthwhile. I’m currently doing a Rhythm of War re-read, and then it’s time for Wind and Truth.
the dalinar flashbacks are interesting but it’s just people meeting up and talking. I saw someone describe the book as a series of zoom meetings and I can’t stop thinking that now
They ramp up as the avalanche nears but that's not far off for the insights on him, Gavilar, and *ssshhhhhh*
Started The Final Empire last night. Took some work to figure out where to actually start. Excited to join you fellow nerds
About 2/3 through the hero of ages. Just posting some guesses for the ending. Spoiler Preservation's spirit just appeared to Elend. Based on this, and looking at the map it seems like something with the Pits is going to play a role. Also, it seems like Vin's earring is going to do something at some point with how often it's mentioned. That being said, there'll probably be no impact from either and I'm just wrong.
I mean they swallow it to store in their body, then access it later. I always visualized it as metal literally burning red/dissolving
Finished stormlight 2 and am halfway through edgedancer. I've done all of the mistborns, elantris, and war breaker, and I think this is my least favorite of his work. I just can't get into it.
You talking Edgedancer or Stormlight in general? If you didn't like Words of Radiance I'm not sure what to tell you. That book is lit
Pretty cool how it all played out. Big fan of the trilogy. Going forward, in the Cosmere should I go right into Mistborn era 2? Or Warbreaker then start Stormlight?
Warbreaker first would give you some context to some Easter eggs that show up later in the Stormlight books.
Warbreaker, Stormlight, Mistborn 2 The end of Stormlight Arc 1 (books 1-5) transitions nicely into Mistborn Era 2
About a third of the way through Warbreaker Denth thought Spoiler I'm wondering if he's Mistborn somehow
