Toaster Retribution he/him Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 We have Edgedancer with Lift already, but if Brandon were to make another Stormlight "short" story (Brandons short stories are pretty long), who would you guys like to see as the main character? Personally, I'd love to see Axies, and some of his backstory being explored. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megasif he/him Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) I want more Lift. Wouldn't mind axies either actually. Spoiler? Spoiler But seriously, King.T would be a good one. Some revelations about Gavilar and co. More about the diagram and the strength of their group. Edited July 5, 2017 by Megasif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Stormlight forum, the only Stormlight-related things you need to place in spoiler tags are the ones related to Edgedancer and Oathbringer :-) Everything from WoK and WoR can be spoken about freely (in this particular section).

gbazz4 he/him Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 As Adolin, Dalinar, and Kaladin are my 3 favorite characters and Dalinar and Kaladin have their own books i would vote Adolin since i would be happy to see more screen time for him. If not Adolin since he has had a fair amount of viewpoints, i could be intrigued by seeing novellas for a few other characters too. Teft would be interesting if we could get more background on him and his past. I would also like to learn more about Iyatil, since she appears to have ties to cosmere worlds other than Roshar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azul he/him Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 erm . everyone? seriously I can't get enough of Stormlight. But if I had to narrow it down I guess Rock, Teft, Sigzil and the Lopen. BRIDGE FOUR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What's a Seawolf? Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Lift again, but this time she brings Rock along. On a food finding adventure. Hmmm, need someone to balance it out. Yep, Lift, Rock and Jasnah on a food finding adventure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 A month with Taravangian written in the style of Flowers for Algernon with possibly journal entries. Sometimes he is smart and it comes across in his writing and on his "dumb" days there are misspelled words and hard to make out what he is trying to communicate. A day with Lopen running into a cousins every 5 minutes would be funny too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightofLight Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 definitely Wit/Hoid. A point of view novella with him would be awesome and would give us a ton of answers or maybe the right questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant agree with you more The Wheel of Tome was my favorite for thw longest time and then Stormlight started these books are just epic in every way. Rock would be cool. Butyea how about a short story between ever Stormlight book hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxal she/her Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I would go for Adolin as well. He doesn't have his own book, he doesn't have a focus arc: he will always play the second fiddle to Dalinar, Kaladin and Shallan. I love his character and I do think he is interesting enough to get his own book. I think it is unfair he isn't getting one and I do think the book structure will make it so he will never truly get the temporary spotlight I feel his character has earned. I don't know what the subject of the book could be though, but in the eventuality he gets banned out of Alethkar, it could follow his journey outside of it which is unlikely to be featured within the main narrative of book 4. This being said, whom I think is more probable is another Lift novella because Brandon introduced her too early on, now he has to show her progression which he can't since she isn't part of the main narrative. Other contenders would be Jasnah and Renarin for pretty much the same reasons. Brandon mentioned Lopen and some bridgemen once but I don't find them as interesting. Bridgemens are pretty bland characters to me, I love them as members of the supporting minor cast, but I have little interest in reading them as protagonists.

WhiteLeeopard she/her Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Adolin and Nightblood (my favorite characters), but since was already said I will add Liss, and possibly Nale could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Wax he/him Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Rysn - I am guessing more interludes in OB, but there are a number of characters that can get a sole novella. The criteria I am using is that they are a slightly away from the main narrative. Ghostbloods Sons of Honor Zahel One of the Heralds without a dedicated book Aimians as mentioned earlier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
