Pathfinder Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I think Brandon has staff monitoring the emails the past few years, because about a year or so ago, I asked for it and a day or so later I got it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani she/her Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I still haven't read the Aether of Night. Are we suppose to ask for it via email too? Also, I finished White Sand and loved it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wychmire he/him Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I just finished White Sand! It was excellent but I wish Eric had been dealt with better. His part of the story didn't seem to wrap up very well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani she/her Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Maybe they're leaving the plot open for the next book 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani she/her Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) If we want The Aether of Night, do we ask for it like we did for White Sand? Edited June 26, 2016 by Daniyah 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes But as far as I know Aether of Night was being torn to pieces and this pieces where used as elements in another books... This is the reason I avoided to request it. I don't want mess with my Cosmere's knowledge with contents far from canon Edited June 26, 2016 by Yata 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani she/her Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 It says on Coppermind, "Elements have been incorporated into later works such as "Decay" becoming the Shard Ruin in the Mistborn series" 2 hours ago, Yata said: But as far as I know Aether of Night was being tear a parts and parts of it where used as elements in another books... This is the reason I avoided to request it. I don't want mess with my Cosmere's knowledge with contents far from canon I get what you mean now.

StormingTexan he/him Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Took me about 6 months to get it. I really wish someone could convince Brandon with a little editing to publish this. I enjoyed it more than Elantris. The graphic novel is not a good enough replacement. Of course in Brandon I trust so Que Sera, Sera. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His part of the story didn't seem to wrap up very well. Really? I really liked how Erics story played out. It's just refreshingly different from other novels. Spoiler Normally when the writer puts the protagonist in a situation were they have to do something bad, they either make them stubbornly refuse and have some magic happen to have everything work out anyway or they make them magically come up with a third option that makes everyone happy or they have them just be too dumb to realize that it's a bad choice and then their intention was still pure and innocent. But not this time. He actually is forced to do the bad thing, knowing full well that it is a bad choice. And he still has to do it, because there is not other way. And Erics destiny is also somewhat important in the grand theme of the book. The whole book is centered around duality and the clash of two worlds and this is represented in the characters, who each are struggling with different parts of themselves that can't work together: Eric fights between his sense of responsibility and his desire for freedom. Ais fights between his religious doctrine and his personal morals that contradict each other. Kenton fights between his rebeliousness and his sense of responsibility. And Khriss fights between her former innocence and her newfound adventerousness. (Or however you write it). Both Kenton and Khriss get well out of this fight because they accept their new selfs, while accepting the person that they were before. This is accentuated by Kentons use of his one strong ribbon in the fight with drile. Eric and Ais however don't come well out of their struggles. Eric feels like he can only be one or the other. He feels that he can either only be responsible or free, but not both. Which, in the end, forces him to choose one part of himself and leaves him unhappy. Ais also doesn't come out too good, because he holds too strongly to both of his believes and his struggle never really ends. He can't accept that not everything of his religious doctrine can be compatible with his own morality and keeps on trying to make something work that ultimatly can't work out.

This novel is really really good and that makes me kind of worried about the graphic novel. The gn format just doesn't really work with Brandon Stories and he allready said that if the graphic novels are a success that they will be the only format for this world. And that all subsequent stories published on this world will be also graphic novels in that case. And I really really don't want that. The prose is just so much better than the graphic novel even in it's unedited state. And I really want more novels in this world, it really is an interesting world, which deserves more than some shallow graphic novels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
