1. Kaladin rebonding with Syl - I saw it coming though 2. Shallan admitting that SHE was the one who killed her mother. - Made sense as to the monster Father had become. 3. The appearance of Nightblood - I stopped...reread what Nightblood said and laughed. 4. Dalinar bonding the Stormfather - The old man demanding the bond made me chuckle. 5. The Lopen's last scene in the book. - This had me laughing...as I could imagine him trying to stick himself to the wall. 6. Epilogue - I saw this coming, though I wasn't sure how far into the series it would happen.

Disproven!

Modern shards are not copies.

Okay, this is obvious. If you see the PATTERN that Sanderson is using. There are 10 orders of the Knights Radiant....there are going to be 10 books in the series...the first book covered Kaladin. The second book focuses on Shallan....do you see the PATTERN?

Why does everyone insist on making bad movies out of amazing works of fantasy literature? It doesn't work. Ever since Game of Thrones came out (terrible books in my opinion)...there has been a surge of people wanting to make Sanderson's stories into bad TV. The books are amazing, however, they would not translate well to TV. There is too much going on for it to make a good series..even multiple movies. Not to mention that there is a gap between book releases. This series will continue for more than another decade...how does that work? Another thing: Yes, the Mistborn Trilogy was optioned for a movie. But nothing is in concrete as to whether or not the studios will move forward with the project. If made those movies are going to be LONG...my guess would be 3 to 4 hours each, and that's trimming a lot out of the books. Those books were relatively short. TWoK was over a thousand pages, and Words of Radiance is 1080 pages....how much will have to be cut out to make it plausible for film or TV? Even the "intermissions" have a lot to do with the main plot. Not all works of literature are suited for the big screen, it's unforunate, but it's a fact. I'd hate to see some studio tear apart an amazing book series to make bad TV/film.

Orlando and Atlanta see pretty big spikes in sales when compared to release dates of Sanderson's books. I have a friend who's high up on the food chain with a very large bookseller. Most authors who pull those kinds of numbers would be racing to those locations to do signings. Also, you can't use just demographics to determine where to tour, because of the internet. Buy a book online and the credit for the sale goes to wherever the bookseller is located...not the buyer. And where are most online booksellers? Northwest and Northeast.

I've been reading Brandon Sanderson's books for several years now, and always look to see if he'll be touring within 500 miles of where I live...and I have NEVER seen a tour come as close as even Atlanta, which is about 420 miles from me. Does Brandon just not care to tour in the Southeast? There are huge cities, with populations in the millions, but they never seem to make the cut. Im not whining, Im simply curious.

My brother has been reading WoT since it first started when we were still kids. When Jordan died, and Sanderson was named the author who would carry on to finish the series, he immediately went out and bought every book Sanderson had written up to that point. I just happend to see Elantris lying on a bookshelf at my brother's house one day and asked to borrow it. I was hooked from the start.

Not only would the metal not be solid and connected, but it would also be impossible to get enough metal in the skin. If you're not familiar with the industry or process involved, there's really not that much ink in a tattoo. A single ink cap holds 1-2 ml of ink by volume. 40-70% of it is a suspension fluid (water, witch hazel, etc.). So in the long run, a small 2 oz. bottle of ink can last for weeks. If it were possible to use a modern tattooing machine do it, the needles would be almost instantly dulled by the abrassive metal dust...making the tattoo not only excrutiatingly painful, but also turn the skin into hamburger...making it bleed more than normal. A good tattoo will heal just like light road rash...it oozes as it heals...so it'd lose metal that way. This problem would be intensified with dull needles. So, as a whole, no...it would not work. Even if the metal didn't have to be solid and whole. Now, one option would be to implant metal under the skin. Sazed has several rings shot into his body, then uses them when theyre inside him to heal. Why not take it a step further and do this on purpose? Sub-dermal implanting is somewhat popular in the here and now, but it has been around for thousands of years. So you could manage to do it that way.

How about arches or poles with metal imbedded in them overhead...sounds simple enough to me. And since mistborn probably didnt lay the spikeway in the first place, the skaa probably did, labor isn't even in the equation.

Vin: Ellen Page is a good choice....but personally, I'd choose Chloë Grace Moretz. She's done a lot of movies and has proven herself to have great flexability in the roles she plays. Kelsier: RDJ, no questions. He has incredible scope and depth as an actor, unlike so many actors of today. Ethan: This is going to sound crazy, but I think Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) would fit this role perfectly. I've seen a lot of the foreign movies he's done, plus his intensity on SoA. Big plus on this one. Ham: No clue who'd play a good Ham. Breeze: If only Brian Cox were a bit younger. Clubs: Brendan Gleeson...he just reminds of an old warn out soldier....not to mention we've seen him gnarled and gimpy as "Mad Eye Moody" in the Harry Potter movies. Spook: This one Im really not sure of. Not many male actors that could pull off 15-21 in a trilogy. Though I could see someone like Jesse Eisenburg playing him. Sazed: I actually think that Alan Rickman would play this role very well. He's subtle, but intense at the same time, much like Sazed throughout the triology. LTR: Another good role for Alan Rickman. What can I say, I've loved his acting since I saw him in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The possibilities are endless for most of the characters in the book...if it is ever made. Let's just hope they dont do what they did with "Game of Thrones"...they took a mediocre book series and turned it into a terrible HBO series. Edit: @Shardlet: The changes were made to LoTR to make it more interesting visually...and to reduce run time. The extended versions arent much different from theatrical and are nearly 4 hours long each. In Harry Potter, parts were changed or omitted simply because they would have made the movies too long. Other parts..like death eaters flying...was changed for visual effects...J.K. Rowling was on set for the entire production of all 8 films.

No, you are by no means alone. I have that problem with all of Brandon's books. I have all of his books, except Elantris on my nook, and it's a compulsion. I've read all of his works multiple times, TWoK four times in the past year or so. Hopefully, now that WoT is complete, he will be able to get back to finishing book two.
