I have the physical copies, you didn't miss an ending to the old characters stories; you don't need to worry. It has new characters and ties up some old threads.

Ooh, sounds cool. So you'd recommend them?

Yes, they focus on music quite a bit, which you seem to like, so I think you'll like them too.

 What, you could tell?

I'll look for them at the library.

The Warrior Heir, followed by The Wizard Heir and The Dragon Heir.

Hey, I thought truthless was reading this... Anyway, I have all the books and those books are pretty good, but the last 2 books aren't nearly as good, (In my opinion) I didn't like the characters as much and the story wasn't as interesting to me. But, they are good books and you should read them, at least once.

Yes, I've read them before.

Totally confused after last nights RoW session and I don’t want to go it’s forum and read a spoiler. 
 

These house repairs have mostly put a dead stop to 2 of the 3 books I’m reading. Lucky if I even make 5 pgs a night on RoW.

What got you confused l? I'm curious

doubt he can talk about it here since anything specific enough to understand would probably be considered spoilers, and those have to stay on the RoW board for now.

[Orlion Blight he/him]

I just finished it (RoW) and can help if you message me. If I feel that I'll spoil it, I'll just say RAFO!

[Briar King]

Yeah I can’t speak about it in this thread. Will shoot PMs possibly. Just something I’m not sure if it had come up in bk 3 or not. I hated that book and have blocked much of it out.

Thats a fair point

[Orlion Blight he/him]

I just finished RoW, and I really liked it. It could have even redeemed Oathbringer for me! *gasp!*

Brandon still needs to finish W&W 4 pronto, though!

You didn't like Oathbringer? Is there a specific reason?

[Briar King]

It was a boring slogfest with super exhausting characters.

Part 5 was dope though.

I disagree, but to each their own. Part 5 was awesome.

I definitely get at least some of that; though I tend to think part 5 was sufficiently awesome that it sort of absolves the rest of the book

[Condensation she/her]

I disagree, although WoR is my favorite.

Watch out folks, here comes the Fan Police! 

Stay cool, act normal

I really enjoyed Words of Radiance, and it created considerable amount of expectations for Oathbringer. Those expectations were mostly frustrated, so I was disappointed immensely with Oathbringer. 

Some specifics: when it became a Dalinar book instead of a Szeth book. 

Also Odium being a cartoonishly villainous antagonist instead of mostly being a force of nature like he was in Words of Radiance.

Nope, much worse. The Grammar and Spelling Police!

And that's all right. Everyone's got an opinion, and I won't tell you that yours is wrong. I think Brandon wanted to save Szeth for later, or maybe he's just not enough of a main character. Even if he should be.

making steady progress through RoW now that I have been able to actually concentrate on it, but today I got an email that my request to my library to get a digital copy of Dawnshard went through, so now RoW is on pause so I can do a quick read of Dawnshard

Not sure how far you are in RoW but there’s only a couple tie in comments of Dawnshard that I can remember and I believe they happened fairly early on in RoW so you could easily get away with reading it after.

pretty sure I'm already past them - I definitely saw a few mentions of things that I recognized as being dawnsard references.  but its also a library thing.  I think they automatically lent me dawnshard when they got it, so i have a time limit on it.  i'm already half way through, so it isn't a huge diversion.

Rereading the original Mistborn trilogy... again.

It's my go-to book for when I'm having troubles.

I just finished relistening to Mistborn:A Secret and was wondering what you thought of this novella? I personally liked the information in A Secret History but thought it came across just a disjointed as Brandon feared it would and probably not be rereading it in the future. 

I’m finishing Black Moon the last of Quinn’s De Grandin stories regarding a French paranormal detective and his assistant. It’s fascinating to read these older stories written so long ago and see how the world around us has changed. I think they are a fun read.

I like it, but yeah. It's pretty disjointed.

Drifter, though.

Just beats Kelsier up.
