I might like Kaladin even more than Drizzt

Hi everyone =)

I've loved every Brandon Sanderson work that I've read so far, so I refer to him as my favorite author.

- started with Elantris

- then did the first mistborn trilogy

- way of kings

- elantris again

- words of radiance

- elantris a third time

- the first mistborn a second time

- and stormlight a second time =) "whitespine uncaged" OMGGGG

 

I have Warbreaker and "the alloy of law" on the bookshelf, but I've been so jammed up the last year that I haven't had a chance to crack them open unfortunately.

 

With Oathbringer coming out soon, I decided to start a re-read of Stormlight Archive today. Right now, I am midway through chapter 3 in Kharbranth. =))

 

I plan on stalking this forum going forward =) Hope everyone is doing well!!

@bridge4 Kaladin is one of my favorite characters are well. He has such powerful scenes! Amaram's army & his squad, Tien's death, the rescue at the Tower, Whitespine Uncaged, the speaking of his oaths, his internal struggle with feelings of failure, etc. Love it all!

whitespine uncaged gave me chills like no other chapter ever has. of course it was a function of the book and a half leading up to it. but that chapter was the icing

kaladin is so cool. im just starting a 3rd re-read (bc i have terrible memory), and i forgot how he has misplaced anger towards groups of people because of his past. but that's kind of cool. he doesn't start off a perfect character. but from the very beginning, he's been selfless and bad**s. i wish i was like kaladin. it so gnarly how he's at his best when he's fighting to protect others

*shoutout to syl. i get a HUGE kick out of her. she's very different from most of the people in my "favorite characters" lists across all fiction, but she's definitely up there. i love Syl! lol

I agree with you @bridge4 Syl is amazing

You should try Warbreaker as soon as you have time. May be relevant for Oathbringer.

oh good looks. appreciate the heads up. im going to to edgedancer too once i finish a reread of tWoK and WoR. are there other novelas or short-stories we should read directly related to SA?

[WhiteLeeopard she/her]

No. Edgedancer is a novella. Warbreaker's main protagonist has a cameo in SA. And you get more info on the strange Shardblade Szeth got at the end of WoR.
