Cheyenne Sedai

Thanks. I'm glad to be here, and looking forward to the future

Last year I (Cheyenne), along with Rob from Malkier Talks and Andrew from the Black Tower Podcast wanted to create a charity event from the holidays, and within hours of putting the idea out into the world, the Wheel of Time community jumped in with overwhelming support. Dates were picked, over 24 hosts were scheduled, and when the Lightweaver Foundation was suggested, the decision was unanimous, and a wonderful event spanning 24 hours was hosted, where we could talk about the books we love, while bringing food and books to the people that need them. The Lightweaver Foundation contributes to food pantries & homeless shelters, but also makes sure books are readily available to those in need. Join us on December 11th for year 2 of the Wot-A-Holiday livestream event, supported by the Charity of Time. Help us get books to schools, prisons, hospitals, and homeless shelters. The following are our schedule and promotional poster, as well as the link for the Just Giving page where you can make donations. Just Giving: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/wotaholidaylive Livestream: https://youtu.be/fvT_UXgXWeA I will be at the opening and closing ceremonies, since I am on the planning committee, as well as the Westlands Fashion segment with some wonderful artists and Katie Sedai from Dragonmount, as well as with Fantasy for the Ages along with Ilana and Alfonsina, my cohosts on Worldhoppers. I hope that if you’re a fan of the Wheel of Time, whether it be the books or the show you can join us, and if you’re able, donate to this wonderful cause that the Lightweaver Foundation furthers. We are uncertain if Brandon will be able to join us at some point, or if we will only have a short video from him like we did last year, but regardless, this is a cause I believe in and would like to invite you to participate in as well.

100% agree. I feel like we don't have any other ones.

Wow, thats great that your teachers read and are fans of Brandons books

Thanks for all these, they're great

wow. I can recite the opening of every wot book, since its always the same, but because of that its far easier to learn

I know well how these discussions go, so I'm not going to start a huge debate that gets out of hand. So we can agree to disagree

Speaking of, I remember they explained on the 3rd Shardcast episode on the Radiants that there was some confusion about which surges the Willshapers and Bondsmiths have. With Rhythm of War, we've seen Venli change stone, my question is if that on its own solves the problem with what the Stormfather said, or if that's a continuity problem.

That's far from true. Jordan was a master of storytelling, and while he does have a different pacing style than Sanderson does, I'd say that that is a false statement. Its one thing to express your opinion, another to say that all the books are bad except Sanderson's. The foreshadowing is absolutely MASTERFUL. You think Brandon's is great? Jordan's is even more so. Brandon learnt a lot about that aspect of writing from Jordan. I'd also say that the cultures are excellent, and one of our main characters has one of the best character arcs I've ever read. Every step in their progression is logical, but the change they go through is really large. There is so much hidden depth in these books, in the way that things for later are set up, and all the layers of different scenes. Great example of this is a sequence in Path of Daggers.

Finally found the story I was looking for yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvC3zOWVq78&t=1818s 33:23 is the timestamp

It didn't sound like there would be from what Brandon said yesterday on Reddit

already did. No explanations, just an image of a quote about Kelsier with the Fortnite logo underneath

Thing is, he did talk about this on stream before. The director is one of his neighbors, and his son designed something in the game for one of his friends who's a huge fortnite fan

I've seen some speculation on a picture book announcement, which would be really great. Personally, I don't think it will be movie/game related, since he said its not something we would expect. It's pretty clear that the first thought that would come to people's minds is a movie/Tv show announcement. I really like that guess as well

Our full spoilers Well of Ascension episode with special guest Christian was uploaded. It would really mean a lot if you listen to it, and if you enjoy it to share your opinions on why, but also give us feedback as to how we can improve. https://anchor.fm/worldhoppers-podcast/episodes/Episode-5-Well-of-Ascension-Full-Cosmere-Spoilers-e110i2t
