QueenOfRandomness Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 A few years back, I started reading a lot more fantasy. And then I started reading more high fantasy. And then I was severely disappointed with the female leads in the majority of said high fantasy. That, or there was a horrid romantic subplot. (Keep in mind, this was in the midst of the Twilight hype, so Bella Swan clones were stamped everywhere in literature. *shivers*) It was then that I embarked on my great journey to find a book with a female lead I did not want to punch in the face. I searched everywhere. I traveled to the highest mountain tops, to the very depths of the ocean and I— Oh, okay. I Googled. Heroically. And The Final Empire kept popping up in my searches. And then I read it. And loved it. And I went back to my library and checked out five more Brandon Sanderson books. And then I had a new favorite author. Oh, and then I read the Rithmatist. I was really irritated because I had no one to talk to about it, so I lurked on here for a week or two without ever making an account. And here we are, one year later. Ta-da! 3
RawToast225 he/him Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Welcome! Don't take cookies from anyone. They are not good in every way you can imagine. Anyway, what's your favourite Sanderson book so far? Also, take an up vote.
Guest Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 QueenOfRandomness I think I'm in love. Will you marry me? Also, do you want a bamboo cookie. They are good for your teeth. Have an upvote.

It depends on what mood I'm in, but right now I'd say it's a tie between Warbreaker and The Rithmatist. QueenOfRandomness I think I'm in love. Will you marry me? Also, do you want a bamboo cookie.

RawToast225 he/him Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Welcome to 17th Shard! Which is your favourite Sanderson book? Seriously, you have a problem. I have already asked that. Moreover, she has answered already!
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Seriously, you have a problem. I have already asked that. Moreover, she has answered already! Didn't see the post. Sorry. Must be tired.
RawToast225 he/him Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 You keep doing it to me! The tired excuse doesn't work
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 You keep doing it to me! The tired excuse doesn't work They were both today. From now on, I won't steal that question ever again in a intro thread done. 1
RawToast225 he/him Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Lol, thank you! Just read what comes before Thanks for being a good sport. Have an up vote. Also, an up vote as an apology for jacking the thread. 1

Guest Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 She refused to marry me, Arthur. I'm gonna go home and...rethink my life.
Guest Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Anyhow, kudos to you on Warbreaker. It is awesome!
RawToast225 he/him Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 She refused to marry me, Arthur. I'm gonna go home and...rethink my life. It's not the end of the world, Panda. It's going to be all right. Though, the 17th Shard isn't a dating sight, so maybe you should rethink your life. 1
Quiver he/him Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Mmm...that's a tough one. It depends on what mood I'm in, but right now I'd say it's a tie between Warbreaker and The Rithmatist. Warbreaker? Another member who shares my opinion that that is the best cosmere book? Queen, will you marry m- No, to both. I'm partially carnivorous, it would never last. ...You know what? I think we need some time apart, to re-think our relationship. Bantering aside, welcome! Brandon's books do have a lot of awesome female characters. I'm guessing you've read it, but if you haven't, I recommend Way of Kings; it's not his strongest book, but it does have some awesome female characters in it (such as Jasnah), so... yeah. Welcome again! Edited January 12, 2015 by Quiver 2
Guest Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I agree...just don't look at any threads if you haven't read WoK yet. There will be MAJOR spoilers.
