Quiver he/him Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wow Grey, that didn't sound at all evangelical... "Have you heard about the good lord Hoid? He died for your sins. Maybe. We're still trying to figure it out. Anyway, it's all in this book." 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King he/him Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wow Grey, that didn't sound at all evangelical... "Have you heard about the good lord Hoid? He died for your sins. Maybe.

-Deleted- Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Mistborn was great. I loved them. Hoid's strongest appearance in my opinion was in Warbreaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Mistborn was great. I loved them. Hoid's strongest appearance in my opinion was in Warbreaker. I think he's better as King's Wit, although I'll agree he's strongest after that in Warbreaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it's all in this book." "It's all in this book.....Well...Not all....In fact....there's not much about him in this book in particular. You'll need to read these 20, and watch for the subtle clues. But believe me, they're there." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver he/him Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Huh. Random thought you guys... Do you think Hoid ever takes a day off? Like, we see him in, say Alloy and speculate over why he was there and what he was doing... but the truth is he just felt like partying down.

Delightful Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 YEven more random thought: what does Hoid DO on his day off? Amuse himself with pointless applications of combined magic systems? Laugh at clueless mere mortals? Chill with Harmony? Or Khriss? ..... Does Hoid have any friends? :'( 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thanks, guys. You've officially made my reading list longer and more demanding than the one I have for grad school. Oh well. Sanderson is a better writer than whoever it is that writes those textbooks, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to tell me that The Stanford Mathematics Problem Book isn't a real page turner to keep me up at night? If that's the case, I suppose I may as well just cancel my order now.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Aaannnnd it's already affecting my life. I have two pugs—a breed notorious for shedding. Today I dusted after taking—oh, I don't know—a month or so off? 0.o I think I know what an ashfall looks like now. It's not pretty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I know, but my teacher compels me to homework. I slave away like a lowly plantation skaa, which my phone seems to think is slaw. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver he/him Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Clearly, you need to slip a copy of Mistborn onto your teachers desk. They'll be too busy reading it to teach, much less assign homework. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
