Zpeedish Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) OK. Confession-time. I hated "The Way of Kings" the first time I tried to read it. I got to Kaladin sitting in the cage hating life, and then I took a break. (I was dealing with some depression myself at the time, possibly a connection there?) Anyway, my brother told me to try out Mistborn, as it was somewhat easier to read. That was late summer 2018. By February 2019 I had read through every Cosmere-book I could find, and officially joined the waiting-crew that is the Cosmere-fanbase I myself am a Norwegian, and as a norwegian fan of Brandon, it can be lonely. Norway is not very well known with Brandons works, so it's somewhat difficult being a fan here. Me and my brother, not much else that I know about. My solution was to listen to Shardcast, and jump into the coppermind. My dream is for Brandon to one day come to Norway on a signing because of the sudden huge fanbase that WILL come forth here!

Honorless Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Welcome to the Shard, @Zpeedish. I know your pain about no Brandon visits. So which one is your favourite book? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aon Tia Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Welcome to the shard.. I also used to think that I am the only fan of Brandon where I come from. But you might be pleasantly surprised here like me.. Not much likelihood of Brandon visits here either.. so please share your favourite book and favourite character 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunu’anaki Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Hey, Welcome to the Shard!! I even feel the pain of not knowing many Sanderson fans and I live in NYC where you'd expect to find Cosmere nerds like myself You've come to the right place to find people though! Enjoy it here!!

Zpeedish Posted November 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 @Honorless My favorite book has to be The Emperors Soul, mostly because of how everything Shai talks about regarding Ashravan makes sense to me Also, love the magic system, been using it as inspiration for my DnD game number 2 has to be Warbreaker, but The Final Empire will always have a special place in my heart as my gateway into this fantastic place 4 favorite characters: Hoid, Tensoon, Dalinar, Nightblood. It's probably somewhat cheating to have Hoid and Nightblood there, they are on a different level than the others, so it's a tie between TenSoon and Dalinar. Thanks for all the support regarding the small fanbase here My hopes are up, @The traveller 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome @Zpeedish! I didn't actually get to finish Way of Kings until my 2nd read-through either. Got to roundabout where you are then just could not get it. Read Mistborn and ended up loving it and went to buy the rest! Good to see you here, hopefully see you around more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the support regarding the small fanbase here My hopes are up, @The traveller That is my favourite book too! The nature of souls that book displayed intrigued me much more than the usual abstractions. I'm not a fan of Hoid or Nightblood, tbh. Hoid reads like a fanfiction self insert character so far. Though it does look like with OB that his role will expand. Nightblood is just going to be a disaster. i can already see it happening. My favourite characters are Shai, Leras, Vin & Elend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
