Bearer of all agonies Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 My favorite series is definitely the Stormlight Archive. I like SA the most because of the insane amount of world building, magic systems, and characters. I don think I have a least favorite. The magic system I like the best is. . . Probably the ones on Roshar. Lashings and Stormlight. I like them the most because I have always loved flying, and with lashings I could fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Invocation Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Mistborn for me, especially Era 1, because I love the sense of history from it, all the little tidbits and the tiny clues. My favorite magic system is Feruchemy, because I'd love to be able to store things up and then use them later. It just seems like the most useful for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discovery of Feruchemy was mind blowing to me. Transversely, I was devastated by Hemalurgy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also love Mistborn, as it is a classic, and I love it. Wow. That was weird. HoA spoilers Spoiler Also, the HoA ending was too amazing.

Ironically, I kind of liked that Hemalurgy was there. Allomancy and Feruchemy both seemed a little tame (and I'm not fond of things having only two balancing forces, I much prefer trinities). But yeah, the reveals born of Hemalurgy though...those hit like a skydiving elephant. 12 minutes ago, Bearer of all agonies said: HoA spoilers You are correct!

In my first read of Mistborn, I felt a little sad, but as I read it now I recognize what a devastating and depressing world they live in. And the fact that they found live and happiness in each other is just... So encouraging and bolstering to me. I definitely have stronger feelings overall, about the Gen 1 MB trilogy now, than I did on my first read. *sniff* Edited November 18, 2020 by Leafygeans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsdaughter613 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Mistborn. Always Mistborn. Mistborn forever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaywalk Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I have a hard time deciding between Mistborn and Stormlight, because I love both dearly. In both, I love the characters. I love the world, I love the magic, and both have stories that deeply affected me. It’s impossible to choose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Use the Falchion Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Favorite is Mistborn easily. It was the first series that got me into Sanderson, the series I'm always excited about, and the one that has the most potential going forward. My least favorite...probably Legion. I liked the first two Legion novellas, but I really didn't like how the third wrapped everything up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
