I feel like the voidbringers being the parshendi is either a bluff or nowhere near the full story. The fact that the answer just came so easily and in the first book makes me suspicious.

The Puppy Bowl posted:Emphatically disagree. The climax of book three is the standard for the Sanderson avalanche. Heh, there's actually a word for this? I remember reading Way Of Kings and commenting to my wife after I finished that it was awesome but it felt like a shitload of stuff happened in the last 10% of the book.

Am I the only one that was not at all surprised Jasnah lived? I doubted it during chapter 7 and I doubted it even more when some of the questions Nanavi put to Shallan implied she had faked her death before. I was completely unsurprised when she was alive in the epilogue. I was surprised when Szeth was resurrected, though it didn't bother me very much since it seemed like it was done so Szeth could suffer a clean break from his past.

Was reading about some stuff he's said at signings and apparently he regrets killing Szeth instead of just having Kaladin take his honorblade

Altered Perceptions is fully funded now. Hopefully the subject of the campaign can get back on his feet.

I could have sworn I read something about safehands having to do with the occupational differences between sexes (like men being farmers and warriors and women being artists and scholars)

Not sure I'd recommend Mistborn too much at this point given the number of people I've seen in other threads saying they gave up on Sanderson after reading Mistborn.

Xaris posted:I dunno I read Mistborn first and loved it. Originally I'd almost say I'd prefer it as whole over Way of Kings (although Words of Radiance was clearly better). I see a lot of people say 'I couldn't get into it because it felt like stealth YA' which I can totally see even though I enjoyed it.

High chance Shallan/Kaladin/Adolin is a thing. Someone asked him to confirm he wasn't going to go the obvious route and make them a love triangle and he seemed taken aback by the question.

Contrary to popular opinion I actually liked Shallan in the first two books but wasn't big on her sections in this book. She spends most of her chapters either being a completely different character or having a not-particularly-convincing identity crisis.

Oddly enough one of my main problems with Oathbringer is that it feels like it revealed too much about the central mysteries of the series too early. I feel like my top 5 unanswered questions are answered now and we're only on book 3.

Vladora posted:The Kaladin album is available on Spotify/Amazon/iTunes/Google Play: Listening to this is a strange experience for me. I've never listened to an album based on a book, I occasionally hear bits and I'm like 'I wonder if the composer was thinking of this particular bit in the book at this part?'

He did a good job with Kaladin's depression but Shallan's dissociative fugue didn't seem that believable to me.

I would say GRRM is legitimately good at writing violence. Better not to speak of his sex scenes.

Who cares if a prologue is bad, it's usually like 2-3% of the book.

The amount of people I know that grew up in poverty and also have anxiety disorders in adulthood is almost 100%.

It always spooks me a little how normal Sanderson is. Like a lot of times artists are tortured in some way and you get the opposite vibe of that from Sanderson. Like he's the reference model stamped out in the human factory or something.

It's Sanderson's 'Han shot first' moment, really.
