AngusThermopyle Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) I have been reading fantasy (and sci-fi) all my life, and I just finished listening to both audiobooks of the Stormlight Archive. I recently started doing that with my long commute. When a sword was given to Szeth and it seemed to be Nightblood, I was flabbergasted. What is Nightblood doing in this series? I had to come online to see if I was wrong and found this site. I had no idea that Sanderson's books were interrelated. One thing I learned about from listening to an audiobook is I don't pronounce the names in my head anymore when I am reading. I see the letters and view them as a symbol (I think). When I first started reading the forums I was reading the names of the characters and not knowing who they were talking about; I had to sound them out and then it clicked. Weird. I have been reading his books since Elantris and love that his books keep getting better and better. He seems to be growing as a writer with every book. Words of Radiance is his best work to date in my opinion. The only bad thing is that I have to wait for the next one. Edit: I put in a spoiler alert because someone who didn't read it yet might not want to know about Nightblood Edited June 21, 2014 by AngusThermopyle 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreathTaker Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I completely agree, he's gaining power and will soon be second in fame only to Tolkien (Hi by the way) This place is immense and epic, there are theories about everything and pretty much everyone is awesome. Especially me... just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terisen Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 The Cosmere board is just calling your name then! There's so much good stuff there. And take a look at people's signatures for theories that help explain things. The whole Espoused Theories concept here is a great resource for finding well thought out items in the Cosmere and individual worlds. And you're not the only person who sees names as symbols when reading. I do that and know others that do the same. Especially for names like Taravangian!
