I'm rereading elantris and holy poo poo is the dialogue and expository narration terrible. I picture every character turning towards a camera with a sly grin after each line.

I can't remember the author off the top of my head but the engineer trilogy, first book devices and desires, had lots of furniture building as well

I got the impression that Trell is a world level force who exists on scadrial but does not influence the Cosmere but Bran San is n2bad at misdirection

I'd have to say that after 3 books Dalinar is by far my favorite character. Most interesting, most complex, best arc(s)... The Blackthorn is just SO BRUTAL and current day Dalinar so different and they are still totally the same person.

It would have been dope for the prologue to be Sadeas instead.

As someone who does enjoy reading it, it very much seems like the entire Cosmere values quantity over quality. He doesn't seem to be writing a 50 book epic because he has 50 books worth of content, he just thinks it would be really cool to write a 50 book epic. It also sort of seems to assume you've read every book all of the time, even the ones from later on in the same series, possibly because he's plotted out this epic in his head and lives in it too much. I'd imagine it's also a pretty unique challenge to try to edit these books as he writes them if he doesn't provide them with some sort of framework or reference materials. "No, this is an important reference to call back to in book 32!"

It's kind of interesting that sanderson considered that his magic driven class system would also be affected by "random mutation." I feel like in a lot of stories the magical caste system would just always follow magic rules.

Anshu posted:The two main trilogies, yes. I haven't yet read any of the side stories like Secret History. (Was it supposed to be a twist reveal that the "Lord Ruler" had actually been Kelsier? Because I had a feeling almost the whole time. Same thing with the twist in Shadows of Self: as soon as Bleeder was noted to be wearing Lessie's body, I knew what was coming.) In the trilogies he is very clearly not. The side books don't change that, but they do illuminate a few other things.

I've always thought Hoid was adjacent to the shattering and didn't hold his own shard, but has knowledge of all of it.
