Navani's eyes

[Maresia he/him]

Hello everyone, im new in the forum and in brandon sanderson's literature. I've been re-reading Way of kings and in chapter 61, when Dalinar kisses Navani, he describes her eyes like light violet and then in the same page he says something like "green eyes filled with passion and excitement" (i have it in spanish). I dont think he's refering to his own eyes. Its there something im missing? Does she change its color to provoke him? I've been searching all day long in internet but i didnt find anything. Maybe its a traduction mistake. Sorry for the grammar,im from argentina. 

Another question. What sanderson book do you recommend me? I discovered brandon because of this book, and it blow my mind. I want to keep reading something else from him

 

Thanks

It is possible that he made a mistake - first edition books often have many of those (I now cringe every time he writes "Gaz's eyes..."). I am afraid I don't pay as much attention to detail as you apparently do, so I don't actually have any impression on Navani's eyes. 

 

As for Brandon's other books... Frankly, grab anything. Mistborn will probably feel the most like TWoK. Elantris and Warbreaker are both nice standalones (I personally prefer Elantris, but having recently reread it, I can definitely see that it's on the level of TWoK; that doesn't make it bad though). Legion, The Rithmatist, and Steelheart are all pretty quick and pleasant reads - you could read those inbetween Brandon's other big works. Alcatraz might feel weird to you, but it's still a fun series.

I don't remember about Navani's eyes anything. Well, I guess they must be violet since she's a lighteyes.

 

For a next book you may want to try Mistborn trilogy and the Final Empire. Or just read in a publishing order. I myself started with Mistborn and then continued with Elantris and it worked just fine.

In my books (ebooks and audiobook versions) her eyes are always violet. I'm guessing its a typo that says green eyes.

And she was so beautiful. Those clever excitable eyes, alight with passion.

 

I would recommend either Mistborn the Final Empire, or Elantris. Elantris was the first book in the Cosmere, The Final Emipre is the first book in his Mistborn series.

Gloom's quote is the sentence with the "green" eyes in the English original. So this might be a wrong translation.

 

As for other books: I recommend Elantris and Warbreaker. They are stand alone novels (though there is kind of a sequel to Elantris: The Emperor's Soul).

 

Then there are the Mistborn-books: The Mistborn trilogy (The Final Empire, The Well of Ascension and The Hero of Ages) and The Alloy of Law which is not a "direct" sequel to the trilogy and is set a few hundred years later.

 

Also nice to read and interesting, but not a cosmere-book is The Rithmatist, a young adult book.

 

Best would be, you follow Glooms link and check the library and the books.

 

And last but not least: Welcome to the 17th Shard.

thanks everyone for replying . It was exciting the idea of discover a new theory, too bad it was a bad translation . 

 

Im gonna start with mistborn trilogy then. Until new books from Rotfhfuss and R.R.Martin.

Thanks everyone, nice forum u have here.
