THERE IS NO WAY BRANDON JUST DID THIS

Huge spoilers for the Stormlight Archive book two.

There is no fucking way that Brandon killed Jasnah off like that. If this is a trick, someone please tell me. If not, then tell me anyway! You can’t just kill my girl like that! She’s badass. But apparently not badass enough to stop a couple fuck-boy assassins!

Way too many signatures...

So this started as Dan Wells crossing out Brandon and Isaac'a names and claiming he did it all by himself. Then Peter Ahlstrom edited the word first to last. Will Wight then changed Lopen's name to Will. Brent Weeks claimed they stole the book from him. And finally Jeff Hays narrated it... Unfortunately I wasn't lucky enough to get a signing from Brandon at Dragonsteel. Maybe next year.

Just bought, opinions?

I saw this at the store and looked interesting enough. Ive been meaning to start the Mistborn series. I read online this one can be read as a stand alone. If youve read this without spoilers, what did you think about it? Thanks!

Finally, I have my copy of Tress of the Emerald Sea signed by Brandon. I'm so happy!

Finished the Cosmere!

Last February someone recommended me Mistborn and I read through the first trilogy, and after finishing it I decided I set myself a challenge to read and rank every book and the characters therein.

I'm now done, and glad that I did, some of the best books I've read and I know a lot of it will stay with me for a long time. Stormlight in particular has some of my favourite characters in media, I see a lot of them in both me and my friends.

Any Qs welcome and on to Fires of December.

For those who don’t know/don’t remember, Victor Wembanyama is a superstar NBA player who is a known Sanderfan. He’s been photographed carrying *Rhythm of War* into a pre-game locker room, and has met the man himself.

Finally finished Wind and Truth

Finally finished what we have of the Stormlight Archives so far and now what a journey it’s been.

I first started reading the cosmere at the end of 2024 at the advice from my friend and I think I can confidently say that none of it was over hyped.

The last 3 stormlight books (Oathbringer specifically) came to me in a time that’s been my darkest and the words that Brandon wrote helped me take the next step. Thank you Brandon for this amazing first arc.

I cant wait to read the last few secret projects and hopefully finish the complete cosmere by the time Fires of December comes out!

What secret project should I read first?
Any thoughts are appreciated

And my heart gets broken a million pieces again..

What’s horrible is that after the despicable, to say the least, Moash ends someone’s life, he does the bridge four salute and to me, it feels like he’s adding salt to the wound.. 💔 I don’t know how will I continue reading it again..

Legal jargon or misprint?

I started reading Between two fires by Christopher Buehlman today and in the info(?)page it says that Brandon Sanderson has ”the moral right to be identified as the author of the work”? Does anyone know why this is or is it a weird misprint?

Nothing crazy, just very happy with this Dragonsteel purchase. Fancy boy needed a fancy collar to match his fancy name.

Guess it is time for a reread. My fortune from lunch today.

Edit: this came from a Panda Express that is maybe a mile from dragonsteel headquarters.

Someone reselling sealed leather bounds on Etsy at 476% markup

I was browsing Etsy today and ran across someone selling a sealed Elantris signed leather bound edition for $595. That’s a 476% markup, freaking insane.

When I looked at what else they sell I also found sealed signed leather bounds of…
- WoA : $595
- Warbreaker : $295 & $695

I even saw a regular 2005 $20 hardcover of Elantris being sold for $499

If this was on EBay it would be one thing, but Etsy?!? They are claiming they are “vintage” products which they really aren’t and I report the ones I find but I don’t know if that’s doing anything. Isn’t this illegal? It’s like scalping concert tickets or something.

I enjoyed Mistborn, but The Stormlight Archive...

Way of Kings is freaking awesome. It's been a long time since I was truly thrilled by a contemporary fantasy series (since Red Rising, at least), and by the end of the book I was completely hooked.

I know it's tricky to compare different works... Mistborn has many values, I loved the way Sanderson wrapped up the era 1 and the characters of Era 2 are brilliant. He didn't convince me with many things about feminine POV, but I was willing to forgive.

However, Stormlight feels much more mature (as far as I've read), while Mistborn is unmistakably a YA book series.

Am I getting the right impression? Do you also feel this way about both series? Sometimes I get lost in my own mind labyrinth and need to check if my experience is too socially off.

Thank you very much for your time
