lastofus Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Umm, hi everyone. I am Reza and I have followed you guys for sometime and decided to join today. My last sign-up on forums goes back to nearly 14 years ago (for 7 years I was a potterhead at a regional fan site). Am I making a resume? , anyway if you can, please bear with me til I re-learn some stuff. And on the serious note, I have read Words of Radiance, Mistborns, Elantris and Warbreaker and absolutely loved Brandon's work. Sometimes it brought me to tears, or I couldn't put the book down and missed a work-day to finish it. And.. that's it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your history with Branderson is very good for a new user. Usually I get to offer the Warbreaker PDF to newcomers, but, alas. Hey, on a side note, no matter what anyone may say to you, under no circumstances shall you eat the cookies. They will Ruin your life. Just saying.

Oh well, you can offer me other books, I am currently 7 books behind my goal this year, because I didn't find any thing as appealing as Brandon's works ..

Sometimes it brought me to tears, or I couldn't put the book down and missed a work-day to finish it. Which is your favorite of Brandon's series'? I personally preferred SA to Mistborn (although Mistborn still was awesome), and have never read Warbreaker. Hey @bleeder do you still have that Warbreaker PDF link? Or was that not you?

But then began the Stormlight Archives and I was speechless by how good it was. Definitely SA will be my vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 What's wrong with the cookies? Seriously, if you guys don't like my baking skills, then say it to my face next time. I do have some cake however @lastofus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastofus Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) @Elenion Such a hard judgement, you're actually tearing me apart, and I couldn't decide the order for an hour. So I'll go with Kaladin, Adolin, Shallan, Dalinar. No brainer for Kaladin, I can relate to him in many ways. Adolin is the image of his father and, (except the final act, but both Kaladin and Dalinar wouldn't approve), but the single fact that he's following his father even though he was against it so many times, the fact that he accepted the weirdness of Kaladin as something good. I absolutely LOVED shallan's backstory, making her a Radiant way before anyone else. But I guess it's easier for a lightweaver to progress, as they don't need oaths and no one in that age could actually grasp them, but she at the very least had the first oath spoken, or it wasn't needed to 'forget' the truth. Dalinar, I really have to read his backstory in oathkeeper, "Coincidentally, that is the exact value of a Shardblade.", He's an old tiger, he doesn't need my approval and it won't shake him to be last. @Darkness Ascendant I am a good boy and am told not to get cookies Edited October 6, 2016 by lastofus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a minute... Also, welcome to the forums, Lastofus! I'd highly recommend Pierce Brown's Red Rising series if you haven't read it yet, or SJ Kincaid's Insignia, which is slightly more juvenile but still a good book. Also, if you haven't read The Emperor's Soul or Sixth of Dusk, both are Sanderson masterpieces 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
