Also, there's Kaladin's name. It's stated by 90% of people who hear it that it sounds like a lighteye's name. I'm starting to think that this isn't just coincidence after all; his parents wouldn't just give him a lighteyed name for no reason.

Trying really hard not to say anything that was discussed at length already. The part that honestly got the best reaction from me was... Veil. I guess it just really brought me back and is in a way a counterpart to Vin in Mistborn, who is a lower-class thief posing as a noblewoman in the first book, whereas Shallan is a noblewoman posing as a lower-class thief. I guess the whole idea of Shallan making up this whole alter-ego out of the blue was extremely telling about her character and her eagerness to actively seek danger just to get the answers she needs. And also brings her extremely active imagination into somewhat of a real-life fruition beyond simply drawing all the time. I was always a firm believer that the facades one puts up about themselves are extremely telling about who they really are by showing what they wish they could be. Also, Shen/Rlain gets mad respect. I was super relieved when I saw him turn up as a non-Voidbringer, because seeing one of the other main characters forced to kill him would have broken my heart. Of the interludes I think Ym was my favorite (everyone talks about Lift but I found myself disliking the character; she could be pretty grating). And who knows? Maybe that urchin kid that Ym healed will be important later. Also, I'm a little disappointed to not see a continuation of the Galladon/Demoux/Other guy arc, but that's not really that important. Roshar characters come first, after all! Kolo? I'm sure they'll turn up soon.

What about the part in the Way of Kings where Dalinar discovers that his "interactive visions" aren't quite interactive: After reading this, it became apparent that things were much worse than I had assumed, and it was all about to go downhill very fast...

On the contrary! This is a Moash inTresting exchange, I Sel-dom find such amusement.

For the Denth time, stop it! Or is it the Denth? Maybe I'll reach TenSoon.

What can I say? It was an attempt, but I'm not really a poet... kolo? Anyways, hey there 17th shard! I wanted a place to express my love for the plethora of awesomeness that is Brandon Sanderson's collection of novels. My name's Ammar and I live in the United States... I'm 18 and will be graduating from high school in a few weeks! My first experience with the Cosmere began last June, when I asked my mother for reading suggestions and she gave me a copy of Mistborn. Yeah, I know, my mom's awesome. Now, between several sleepless nights and neglected English assignments (The Sound and the Fury or Warbreaker? Hmm... tough choice *sarcasm*) I have finished all eight books of the Cosmere. All joking aside, Brandon Sanderson has quickly become my favorite fantasy author, and to be perfectly honest, I have no idea why it took me so long to find my way to this site. I'm sure I will very much enjoy it here. Hope to meet all of you very soon!
