Halyo_Alex Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Not even the thought of reading SA 5 for myself has made me want to be a Cadmium Misting IRL and just time-bubble-hibernate until SA is released as much as wanting to see Tay's reactions to the book has. Convoluted sentence, yes, but it does the job... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan is make Brandon a steel compounder + sliders, and give the enitre fanbase a-cadmium. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necessary Eagle Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Wait, what was her reaction to Taravodium? You can't leave that out! (Besides cheering on Sword Ninny, which I take as a given). Edited February 21, 2021 by Necessary Eagle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsdaughter613 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Wait, wait, wait! Where’s her reaction to the double villain upgrade we got in two totally random moments two chapters apart?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where’s her reaction to the double villain upgrade we got in two totally random moments two chapters apart?! Okay, fair enough - that's my bad. I didn't record anything for her there. In terms of Taravodium, she didn't have any witty reactions, she just stared at me with wide eyes - probably the same reaction a lot of you guys had to the Ascension. We did talk about it after, and she reckons that this is a really good thing since if you go look back at some older posts she is very much Team Taravangian ("Thanos was right" is a literal quote of hers as well) - she thinks he can do a whole lot of good with Odium's power. I'm not so convinced... he's still planning on sending a Champion to fight Dalinar, after all. In terms of the double villain upgrade, are we talking El? Tay didn't really react to him. Kind of just assumed he's obviously set up as the next secondary villain in book five - a la Raboniel/Persuer in book four. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The double villain upgrade (although the ‘villain’ part is debated) was the reveal that Thaidakar is Kelsier. Which didn’t so much upgrade him (since he’s always been Thaidakar) as reveal that we’ve been SERIOUSLY underestimating the Ghostbloods, but it served the same purpose as a villain upgrade. Thanks for the update! Edited February 21, 2021 by Kingsdaughter613 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been waiting for him! -- Navani and Raboniel are sapiosexual for each other. Calling it. Leave your war criminal husband, Navani! Pfffft I just died. I can see that... Thanks for the entertainment, and tell her no pressure to read more of the cosmere if she doesn't want to - her fan club might be disappointed, but your guys' enjoyment of what you read is the priority! It's been really fun, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vissy Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Navani/Raboniel had a lot of tension between them, sexual and romantic, enough for me to note it in my head -several times- during the reading of the book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iarwainiel I Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 @Goatbringer thank you & your lovely wife for sharing this journey with all of us! Tay might be using the character's real names now, but she has given us 2 new ones: "Shnart" and "Roland" - love it! Be well! We'll look for you & Tay in 2023! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goatbringer Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Here's a little special surprise for you - one is a pic of Tay actually using a Stormlight reference on a public forum for everyone to see when she asked a question on her Instagram of what tattoos people want to get. Big win, there. The next is a video that she insisted I share with you of her using the Instagram cosmere character filter (much apologies - I do not know who created this filter!) Also warning - I know this board flags swears that we type out in these replies, but Tay swears in the video. So if you're a little sensitive to language, uh, don't watch. Cosmere Character.mp4 I hope you enjoy this small Tay interlude. Edited March 10, 2021 by Goatbringer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatbringer Posted December 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 I regret to inform you all that my wife has said Knights of Wind and Truth sounds like Knights of Wind and Toots and is going to be a book about farting. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Stormy Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 That is indeed unfortunate. (also hello there I'm a lurker that has read this thread but never posted.) You should read the KoWaT previews to her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbringer Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 I like how this is how I find out the SA 5 title, and no other way. Seems about right for me 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trutharchivist Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 I don't much like that this is how I find out about the SA5 title, but thank you for informing me that State of the Sanderson is out! I probably wouldn't know otherwise. It would probably be interesting to see your wife's reaction to SA5 along with reading it, just like it was seeing it up until now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
