PrncRny Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I've been re-reading a lot of Cosmere novels for the last year or so and, after finishing Shadow of Self, it struck me: I am very impressed. Like, very. The way that the tie ins and hints and things are unfolding slowly over time. In the first novels, there was little. You really just had noticing Hoid running about. In the original Mistborn trilogy, specifically HoA, you got Sazed's little hints towards the bigger picture. In the Stormlight Archives ones we have thus far, things are get alot more blatant. And now in Shadows of Self we have the stuff in there. I am amazed at the patience, timing, and forward thinking that it took, and is taking, to bring this out in what feels like such an organic and original way. When I read The Wheel of Time I didn't think a serious could possibly get much more intricate or detailed (boy was he detailed! nauseatingly at times. lol), but now, watching the Cosmere unfold, Jordan has met his match. Ok. I'm done. But seriously. Wow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he has done most of the canon references and hints at the wider cosmere after finishing WoT so he did have a master to learn from, Brandon was always an amazing writer but after he worked on the WoT he just took it to a whole new level.
