  1. This was a book for me. Brandon must know a classic underachieving job hopper. It came close to convincing me to do stuff. I loved this book. I predict Book 3 will not be the same quality as 1 and 2 but then Secret Project 4 will blow us away with awesomeness. There is no way there can be four this good. No possible way.
  2. This would be the greatest theme park to ever exist. it would blow Harry Potter land out of the water. I could see a lot of uses for VR headsets, magnets and parachuting wind machine thingies. Booth game development alone could revolutionize the carnival industry. In fact, we could start putting together booth game and good ideas and do a Cosmere version of Ren Fest for realsies.
  3. I had no idea they were married. They are top of the field. I will listen to anything Michael Kramer reads. Him and Nick Podehl. Kate Redding is one of the few female narrators I can tolerate for sleep purposes.
  4. Thank you so much! This is an every night problem. Vlad Taltos you say! That one looks really promising. You saved my month! And Sullivan is bumped up in priority. I have had a lot of misses lately. You mentioned Patrick Rothfuss. I just discovered the joy of complaining about the non-existence of Doors of Stone on the Rothfuss reddit. Recommended. Thank you!
  5. I can't sleep without Audiobooks but am looking for something new after the second full Mistborn through TLM listen. Currently in my audible wishlist: Some Michael J Sullivan, Some Jemison, Some Rhett C Bruno, Some Brandon Mull and "Fairy Tales" and "Babel" along with some embarrassing litrpg stuff. Assume I have read all classic Sci-fi, most but not all classic fantasy, all Scalzi, All Greg Egan, all Brent Weeks, all James Islington (who by the way I half suspect IS Brandon Sanderson's alter ego), almost all Robert J Sawyer, All Ernest Kline, All Andrew Rowe ( I know but he's funny!), All Stross, All Sawyer, All Will Wight.... Someone help me!!! Please!!!!
  6. Rithmatist is one I can't wait to see a book 2 of. Then Alcatraz is freaking amazing fun. I was hesitant because it's a kids series. But totally worth it. It was one of my nephew's bedtime readings for a few years. They did the whole series.
  7. My money is on one of the next Gen kids on either Roshar (as of SA4 but probably not by end of SA5) or one of Wax's kids. It's a children's story/myth. And also probably not terribly accurate to what actually happened, which I am sure Brandon knows. Maybe some kid about to be exiled?
  8. "Some scholars say that when you become an immortal like the Sorceress or me, your soul gets replaced with something new. Like the fossilization process." (Chapter 61, pg. 661, Tress) When you combine that statement with Vasher's fossilization metaphor to Kaladin in Rhythm of War, it's gotta mean Hoid is saying he went through a similar process.
  9. Returned or Cognitive Shadow, Hoid died at some point. Then now he is... other than dead and not gone beyond. He had to be either alive or already other than dead at the Shattering. Confirmed. This raises a whole slew of questions.
  10. Did we know before Tress that... Because that hit me like a bombshell when... But then I have SERIOUS questions such as... I just feel totally blown away by this.
  11. I just finished. And I am so sad it is over. What an absolute delight of a story. I love it so much. Instantly on the favorites list. A classic and for so many reasons. brb off to rewrite every fairy tale ever written to be like this. We need about 50 Brandon Clones, I have calculated this, to remake literature AND keep us all in new books every week for the rest of my life. I don't think any multiverse Brandon's have done better than Tress. I literally don't. Anyone who wouldn't enjoy this story is a dirty conner.
  12. Apologies if this has already been said but I believe the Wax and Milan agreed to Bands drain or swap the BOM right in front of our eyes. I am on an audiobook relisten. Near the end of BOM after the climatic fight, Milan notices Wax doesn't seem upset about relinquishing the bands. There is an odd sentence after that comment about something secret passing between them that hopefully wouldn't go beyond just the two of them. Therefore I believe Wax and Milan conspired to remove the Bands from the field of play. K thanks bye!
  13. My guess is that since feruchemy rips off part of your soul, it can steal anything. I further guess that we have seen people with stolen powers before and not known it, but that's neither here nor there. Why Hoid doesn't use Feruchemy... just ??? Voluntary spiking is a thing so maybe he will once that gets popular. Aaaaaand now I am off topic.
  14. OooOoooOoooOooo controlled by allomancy we haven't seen recently. I like it.
  15. Ok, here is the thing... yes there was a way he could have survived. We may not have found it yet, but I mean sequential speed bubbles maybe? Maybe a giant speed bubble with one edge just outside the blast then steel push to the other side of the bubble. Reserve one vial and a couple bags of Bendalloy. But... he was doomed.
