  1. I finished grad school a year ago focused on getting a very good job in a specific industry. I knew it was going to be difficult to break into, but it's what I wanted to do and I told myself to be patient and not to settle for something else. I've had some rough days - it's been very tough at times not to give up. Today I got the best job offer I could have hoped for. I'll be pulling insane hours for a long time but couldn't be happier to do it. So to anyone who's been grinding away for something and is struggling to keep at it, don't give up it'll happen!
  2. Apologies if this is old news to some, but I just wanted to bring this to people's attention as it seems to have flown under the radar. The following book personalization was recently posted to Arcanum: While many people have speculated that Hoid's goal is the reforming of Adonalsium, this is the closest that I have seen Brandon coming to confirming this. He obviously doesn't come out and say it but I can't think of anything else it could be referring to, so for now its good enough for me!
  3. All I have to say is... 77 pages?! Really?!
  4. Anyone else absolutely love the new trailer? The book is fantastic but the first trailer was vague and didn't sell me on the movie. This one knocked it out of the park, looks like there's a great balance between real world and OASIS scenes. I really like the casting choices too, Ben Mendelsohn is perfect for the villain. Super excited for this movie now - and that Tracer cameo was awesome!

    These are honestly stunning mate well done.
  6. I once spent the better part of a year inside a large stomach, being digested.
  7. Great theory, though I also think the timelines don't really work. Nohadon did rule fairly early on in the history of the KR and the evidence seems to suggest that the Sibling withdrew towards the end. I think it's pretty unlikely that it withdrew much earlier and it took them all that time to notice - it's potentially thousands of years. The other option is that he did bond his cognitive aspect with it in the way you suggest but the Sibling continued to bond regularly with others for a period of time, though I think this is also unlikely as I feel the next Bondsmith would have noticed. Is there any reason Nohadon could just have found a way to make himself a cognitive shadow without the Sibling's involvement? There's definitely other ways to go about it, there's at least one other major character hopping around the Cosmere in this way.
  8. I’m going with Renarin having regular Surgebinding Regrowth and Voidbinding Illumination. Why would Brandon point to that page if Renarin just had a corrupted form of Surgebinding? Assuming that this is the case and that Sja-Anat will actually change sides, do we think she may purposefully corrupt other Radiant spren to give them access to voidbinding? It makes for a huge set of new powers and more interestingly resonances that haven’t been considered before, after all we’ve seen what Renarin can do with just one combination.
  9. I think the answer to this one is that they realize they could be permanently ended in the same way. If that knife can kill a Herald by somehow capturing a piece of their soul and preventing rebirth, I’m betting it can do the same for the Fused. Which is why I see this being VERY important going forward.
  10. Yeah I posted above and then thought alright just the prologue wouldn’t be too bad now I guess... ...in other news I loved chapter 4 and 5 is off to a storming start.
  11. I haven't read anything either, though it's taken some serious willpower! I haven't done it for any reasons related to edits though, I just thought reading it piece by piece for weeks would drive me crazy. I just felt it would be more satisfying to have the whole thing before I begin - I prefer to sit down with a new book and power through it. I cannot wait to actually have it tomorrow, I've made sure I have absolutely zero other things to do!
  12. Yep, they must've edited it since I posted. I'll edit my first post to reflect the change.
  13. FYI Tor has just released Brandon's tour schedule, http://www.tor.com/2017/08/02/brandon-sanderson-oathbringer-tour/. I'm posting them here too for convenience. Is it just me or does this seem a little light on stops? I was certainly hoping he'd come to the East Coast!

  14. @Yitzi2 I know, that why I said it obviously couldn't have been done in the exact same way. However I can certainly see it being possible that she gave up/is using some of her power to contain him.
