I seem to be the only one who really likes the name Sarene...

It seems that somehow an answer to another question replaced the real question here. Link: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/39-sandersonchat-twitter-qa-with-audiblecom/#e453 Existing Text: Revised Text:

@Excelsius Oh sorry, I overlooked your reference of Warbreaker ^^" I haven't read one of the new releases, but while flicking through SoS the phrase "Hammonder River" catched my eye. I honestly don't remember how it was translated in AoL, but even if it is the same, I personally don't like it when such easily translated phrases are kept in their original language.

Oh, I hate these translations. They have nothing to do with the books, so why did they give them these titles?! But although the titles of Mistborn 2-4 are nonesense, to me "Kinder des Nebels" ("Children of Mist") is an ok translation for TFE because I think it still fits to the book. Another german translation I absolutely despise is "Sturmklänge" ("Stormsounds") for Warbreaker. But since Brandon changed to a new publisher in Germany my hopes are high that these ridiculous titles come to an end. The titles for SoS and BoM are very close to the original ones so the new publisher seems to care more about them (although they seem to keep more english terms untranslated than the old transators, what I don't really like).

As soon as you fill a piece of metal with a feruchemical power its allomantic power gets "overwritten" by it. You could say by filling a metalmind you create a new allomantic metal which gives you the power stored in the metalmind. As a result it is not possible to gain both the allomantic and the feruchemical powers when burning just a single piece of metal. So when you burn a steelmind you only get speed and not the ability to push on metals. Because of that compounding pewter would not be as overpowered as you might think. You could potentially push your strengh to a point where you could throw a truck without much effort, but you wouldn't get the extra powers of allomantic pewter such as better sense of balance or unlimited endurance.

But how is he able to reach his goal if he stays on Roshar? Sorry if that's a silly question, but I'm not really into this whole "Odium's evil plan"-thing yet. Either way, I suspect him to try to kill every other shard because of... reasons and I think this could be difficult if he stays on Roshar to keep his full power.

Presumably I will end up reading the english versions in the future, even if it's just because of me being too impatient to wait for the latest translations But I still think this isn't the optimal option because my english is just ok, not very good. I recently played a text based game in english and had to look up several words in a dictionary Google Translate. Sometimes that was really annoying and I'm still hesitating reading a whole book in english because of that. But I'm trying to work on that so hopefully in the (near) future I won't have a problem with it anymore ^^

I have the same problem. Not that I don't understand english but it's always a different experience if you read something in your native language. So I'm still waiting for the german translations of those books like your friends. Fortunately I dicovered the cosmere not long ago, so I have to read a few other books before comming to SoS and BoM but it still worries me a bit that there is no german release date yet. Currently I'm doing a reread of the first Mistborn trilogy and afterwards I'll read WoK and WoR for the first time. After that I planned to continue with the Wax & Wayne books but if until then there still isn't a german release date I see myself forced to give the english versions a try. But don't give up hope. There was a Facebook post from Heyne (the publishing company that releases most of Brandon's books in Germany) some time ago that at least SoS and BoM will be released in Germany in the future.

I had similar thoughts. As soon as Vin was told that Kandras can't be affected by emotional Allomancy I thought "man, this is going to be easy to find out who the Kandra is. Just go and speak to every member of the crew alone while soothing or rioting their emotions very hard so it's obvious that she is manipulating them. If they react to the Allomancy the person is not the Kandra and if they don't react, congratulations, you exposed a Kandra!" But no, Vin wanted the search to be more difficult than that

@Doctor12 That one is amzing, too! Although I liked the first one a little bit better. In this one I miss something like 'God' commanding Zane "Kill him/her!" I am really looking forward to a potential Trailer for HoA ^^

This gave me goose bumps. Such a trailer would be so amazing!

Ah ok, thank you

I think they both used the same command. So how could Vasher keep his Divine Breath while Lightsong lost his? Ok, how do I have to understand that? ^^"
