Seems like something you'd have to be really carefull about, my kneejerk reaction to that is that Rands hot wives/girlfriends also banging each other could make it seem even more like some horny teenager's fantasy.

Oh it totally would. It basically is already.

It'd be a little more accurate to the few real-life poly amorous groups I've known if it was like a 2/2 or 3/2 gender mix instead of 3/1

Unfortunately, other relationships are just as problematic. Let me introduce you to the healthiest relationship in the whole books: Perrin and Faile!

Look if ya'll don't like the idea of armies of dark-skinned redneck samurai, some of whom ride pterodactyls or giant lizard-tigers, kicking rear end while their living artillery slave-witches call lightning down on their foes, I don't know what to say.

I want to see that. I want to see that very much.

The Seanchan are a really horrible people, and I will die on the hill that Robert Jordan did an amazing job with writing them without making them boring standard fantasy villains. :colbert:

And it's sorely needed, since trollocs are already the always chaotic evil orcs anyway.

It's not a big deal really, he's a super minor character as far as I can tell.

I think I'm on chapter 13 in Path. It's really bad so far. Looking forward to these finally picking up in a book or two.

8 has some decent moments iirc. I like all the 'intrigue' though.

Well, speculation is that it's set far in the future, and that the Ones Above are in fact the space faring Scadrians we were promised for Mistborn Era 4. So I guess we'll have to wait a while before we get another story set on

The planet is called First of the Sun.

Well duh. Him and The Creator Bela

Been reading and rereading a lot of Sanderson's stuff, and it's so satisfying picking up details and hints I missed

Arcanum Unbounded was great, so many short stories that were incredibly satisfying; it's clear it's his forte.

The Legion trilogy is as well, in my opinion - a three short story anthology. The ending also makes me think

Legion and Perfect State are the same universe, because the prison VR sounds like a prototype of the brain-in-a-jar tech... which then makes me think they're both in the same universe as Skyward

Hero of Ages I was looking for hints about Dalinar, and just about every time he's mentioned doing something heroic in his armor it's mentioned about it glowing faintly, even before it's been significantly damaged.

Starting on rereading Words of Radiance now
