kaladar Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hello! I've been lurking around the site and the Coppermind for a while now, reading interesting topics of interest while I was (re-)listening to WoK, WoR in the lead-up to Oathbringer. I finished OB last week. I got it digitally on launch day, but wasn't able to dive in right away, sadly. In the last few months before OB, I listened to all of the Mistborn books and Warbreaker. I read Elantris and Arcanum Unbounded as well. I haven't read White Sand yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacThorstenson Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 As you have been lurking, you probably know better then to take a cookie, but they are here if you want them. You are exactly where I am in the cosmere. Out of what you have read so far what are your favorite parts? I love the Magic, especially hemalurgy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't eat the cookie. Have an upvote. What is your favorite magic system? I didn't realize until yesterday afternoon that I hadn't actually finished AU - I was only about halfway! I read the Silence chapter and really, really dug it. Wouldn't mind going back there. Storywise, I like SA/Roshar the most for its (continuing) depth in scale and character arcs. It's most close to WoT, which was my first (long-form) High Fantasy series (LotR's length feels quaint by comparison!). OB felt like a little bit of a firehose with the additional settings/cultures mixing in and the increased insight into the Listener/"Voidbringer" PoVs and expanding Surgebinder abilities. Magically, I really like the Metallic Arts - especially in the Wax & Wayne era. Less all-powerful Mistborns and more uniqueness in the Twinborns. I liked the slightly shorter and quicker pacing as well. I have a feeling Hemalurgy will come to the fore in later books with more crossover between some of the systems, in potentially dire/sadness-inducing ways. =/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
