Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere Book • Page 59

My ARC comes today at some point

 

It’s here! Goodbye social life!

 

Nice. Enjoy! I will be carefull on the internet as im now two books behind :( Struggling to get through oathbringer so i can move on to rhythm of war. Maybe 60% through and im finding the same issues as i had the 1st go through. I know it picks up, and its not a bad book, but definitely least favorite of first 3 easily.

 

I doubt spoilers will appear, the community is pretty good like that but yeah - might want to stay away from some places.

I won't say much about it but I will say that the pacing is a helluva lot better than RoW (my opinion). I cannot wait to discuss with you all.

 

Part of why I love these forums is that everyone is respectful in pretty much all of the entertainment places regarding spoilers. More worried about the random stuff that will pop up on my reddit and Instagram feed.

One day I WILL be caught up on Sanderson for a day 1 release. LOL.

Also on a semi-related note, for those that celebrate - may you all get the Sanderson swag you wish for for the holidays :) I put a few things on my lists that went out to family.

 

Coincidentally, I mod the Sanderson subs and we have a strict policy in place at the moment regarding the WaT release but that's not to say that it won't appear anywhere else.

 

Finished up Mistborn era 2 over the weekend. I can't remember if I posted after I finished Bands of Mourning, but I found the ending of that book to be so emotionally affecting. It caught me off guard a bit.

Thought The Lost Metal was a little weaker in the first half. There were some chapters that really felt like they needed another editing pass or something, but it did come together by the end for me.

Going to hit the older standalones then finally get into Stormlight.

 

Finished my RoW re-read last night and immediately started reading the preview chapters for WaT. I can't help myself.

I'm glad I did the re-read. Picked up on a bunch of stuff I missed the first time. Especially the different storylines with the singers/fused/regals. It was super confusing the first time.

 

The Lost Metal so so incredible. Wax is such a fucking badass. Harmony's sword.

 

What were your opinions on RoW initially vs. your re-read?

 

felt the same way about TLM. Like there should have been lots of payoff from multiple things instead of lots of setup for other things.

 

I liked it better the second time through. I still think the pacing is way too slow for most of the book, but the payoff was pretty huge.

Shallan is still super annoying though.

 

Still haven’t done a reread bc of that first reason but I do think I’d enjoy it better the second time bc I have corrected expectations

 

It is done…..

 

Fancy pants mcgee over here

 

my BIL is jumping headfirst into the Cosmere. He finished the Mistborn trilogy and is reading whatever the suggested standalone is after that. He even got my non-fantasy reading sister to start Mistborn.

Also, this just came out and I had no idea it was a thing and now I need it:

Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game
