Syl-ly Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I think I was introduced to my first Mistborn book in 2012-ish and ever since then I've read most of the Cosmere stuff (I can't work with White Sand) and am really excited for the upcoming WOR. I was really excited when I found out I could purchase and read Dawnshard to help manage that last week before WOR came out but I read it in less than a day. So I was left with either distracting myself with other stuff or give in wholeheartedly to this addiction and join up. Hey, there are worse things to be addicted to... Anyway, I'm really excited to be a part of the community and looking forward to meeting and learning more from all you amazing people! Oh, also, I really appreciate puns, good and bad but never lazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t you work with white sand? If you don’t like the format, I advise you read the prose, which is way better anyways. The downside there is that none of it is really canon. anyway, what would be the most profoundly useless thing you could do as a misting (of any type)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think that Brandon had finished writing The Silence Divine. The Coppermind says that it still isn't released. How did you get ahold of it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the Coppermind did say, "Brandon wrote, and read, a few test scenes while touring for Words of Radiance.[2]" So you just read those excerpts, then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout_Fox Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the Shard! Syl-ly! Hah! I'm dying rn (no literally the actual dying that was just too punny. Ok now I'm actually dying many apologies ). I can't believe that wasn't taken good snag! 2012 makes you a long time fan indeed! And yes the RoW hype is reaching all time highs! Dang well, at least Dawnshard got you half a day in there. Maybe try reading again but backwards or upside down to keep the pace lower?? But hey, if it got you to come join us all the better I say! What's your favorite series? Oh and as a step in your full welcomeness we gotta slap you with "you did something wrong" to really make the welcomeness warm fuzzies fit . Lol no biggie but mods prefer if you don't double post. You can tap the plus icon next to Quote on multiple peoples posts to quote them all in one mega post! So happy to have you join the community and look forward to learning from your amazing self as well!

So happy to have you join the community and look forward to learning from your amazing self as well! IKR, I tried out the name and took it as a sign from Austre that it was time to join. So I really do love warbringer but the stormlight archive is really coming in strong because there’s just so many wonderful rabbit holes in it. And thank you! This is nicest constrictive criticism I’ve ever received!! As for rereading Dawnshard I should rob ably spend some quality time on the real world things I should do for a bit cause I’m gonna wait for thanksgiving before binging ROW. But I did actually consider rereading all the Ryan interludes but if I accidentally finish that while eating breakfast, I’ll see how well I can reread Dawnshard upside down... I wonder if it’s available in other languages.... so what’s your favorite series? And who’s your favorite character from the cosmere? 11 hours ago, Koloss17 said: Ooh!

I wonder if it’s available in other languages.... so what’s your favorite series? And who’s your favorite character from the cosmere? That sounds like the perfect sign to me too! I would have to say I agree with that Stormlight favorite! It is just so massive it is absolutely amazing to read. The fact that you have so many characters and sub stories and plots going on all in these massive books in a massive series in an entire universe of other stories is just like WOH You're absolutely welcome! It totally makes sense to put in in multiple like a text you just don't really think about it until someone lets you know! I do my best Oof yeah I feel on the real world things. Almost wish you could get two days each day, one for Sanderson stuff and one for other life stuff. Like c'mon what's with this! And yes I might follow you on the Thanksgiving timing so I can be sure I have time to read it all at once. Yes I would be most intrigued to see how you can read it upside down or in other languages! You let me know As for favorite Cosmere character I don't think I can choose just one but I would say one of my favorites that we don't see that often is Lirin. He seems really down-to-earth and practical. He doesn't really get drawn into conflicts unless it is really necessary and I think he did a good job of guiding Kaladin to become the person he came to be.
