  4. Also, checked my Email and nothing O_O Should I be concerned?
  5. Your no bother at all : P I've started to venture into the rest already, will take a bit until I find my way around. Thanks for the warm welcome!

  7. So we all agree Taravangian is a -censored- Sadeas I can understand to some extent. Zane? F that guy more than Moash. Also, how has no one said Moash? XD The favorite moment will be no surprise to you - Gaotona final scene. It's beautiful and moving. A close second is "honor is dead" followed by "You cannot have my pain". Saddest is easy, Evi - enough said (I'm not crying at all)
  8. Oh thats a harsh question, I'm not sure...maybe Dilaf?
  9. Thanks But i call BS, I got Windrunner XD Yea reading fast is an amazing blessing I got, but it can be obtained with some effort. Hindu is very interesting to me - I really like to study religions in general. That being said, I can totally see why you would take a, so to say, 'personal' take on it. Pottermore gave me Slytherin, then I tried again and got Ravenclaw, then I tried a bunch of times and its always 50:50 between them XD
  10. Well....TBH im more of a Slytherin actually, but I can see them being Hufflepuffs. That's just not my flow : P As for faith, that was not my problem, my crisis was with people of faith, hypocrisy, and a system that would not evolve. Final empire much? I would probably choose brass, thats how I get along in the real world - I understand people, let them know I feel the, I help them, relax them, and ultimately always try to judge people's emotions as a self-protection mechanism. If I would go with Ferring I'f probably go with copper, its no wonder when I do a house sorting quiz it always goes back and forth Slytherin-Ravenclaw ^^ I get the logic part, I'm very much that way too - but it's just to cover an over-emotional well thats overflowing, so I have to go with the lightweavers. Mind if I ask what religion is this? And please, do read more - the more you read the faster and better it gets : ) By the way, where do I find this Radiant sorting hat quiz?
  11. So I'll expand a bit about Szeth and Gaotona. I am from a strongly religious family and have chosen to take...a different path. Going against what EVERYBODY around me says, believes and holds sacred was a harsh experience, with effects that last over a decade - especially now that I'm planning to get married. How will the ceremony look? Will there be a rabbi? Will my fiance dress according to Halacha? Will my dad even show up? In light of these, I identify a lot with people struggling against their beliefs. Szeth and being truthless, Gaotona and using forgery. But not just that - Szeth uses his belief as a shield, and when that collapses, he gives up on life itself. He finally faces the guilt and blame and cant handle his pain, unlike Dalinar. Gastonia sees the TRUTH of forgery, he sees the masterwork he holds within his hand. He's beliefs forbid it, but he is overwhelmed with its beauty. This document in the right hands could have changed the entire empire, the religion, the forbiddece of forgery. But alas. to protect all he hold dear, he must commit that one thing he opposed all along - a forgery. He casts this document into the flames, lying to all generations to come so that the emperor might have a chance to make the empire a better place. He takes this burden upon himself, as there is no one else to do so, and maybe no one else who would. This weight will stay with him until his final hour, regardless of the success or failure of the Emperor. As for Shardworld, I guess I'll be a bit different again, as I would choose Sel, with hopes of being a Forger myself^^ Magic system is a hard debate between the Surges and Forgery. The order In forgery, the craftsman work, the elegancy...It calls out to me. Oh I've read many others, let me think a moment: Raimond E.Feist. R.A Salvatore, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchet, Jhon Skalzi, Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Robert Silverberg, Tolkien, Martin, Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, Maggie Furey, Patrik Rothfuss, David Eddings....and so on and so forth I would probably want to be a Lightweaver, or perhaps an Elsecaller, both are my favorites. I'm ok with being swamped, Keep it coming: )
  12. I was thinking 'the emperors new groove': p I love Shai, but Gaotona takes the crown there. I have a thing for Marsh in Mistborn. And Stormlight.. Hmmm, i feel Szeth, but favorite? Jasna is queen of my heart
  13. WOK is amazing, right? But as amazing as it is, 'It was a beginning'. I read really really fast (I can't help it:( ) so I normally finish a book like WOK anywhere between one sitting to a max of 1 week, and only then turn to processes the experience I just went through. Giving that, approaching WOR, I had more of an emotional connection, and a way better understanding of the world and characters. I could think more, feel more, theorize more while reading. All this tunred WOR into an amazing book for me, and Szeth's inner conflict of belief struck a personal tone for me. And than OB, yet again an amazing book - but i felt almost 'let down' by my own forecasting. Of course, i was still suprised and some twists had me yelling on buses, but the "big reveal" was too obvious for me, and the glories and epic scenes cannot replace emotional connection, regardless of how epic and beautiful they are. After all this, no wonder I'm tempted to pick ES, right?
  14. Thanks for the welcome:) If we include the novels from the Aecanum, im hard pressed to choose between WOR and The Emperors Soul. I think? Its so hard to choose!
