Musespren Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I suspect someone has already used a similar title. But hey, it's not an originality contest, is it? Anyway, here I am. I was introduced to The Way of Kings by two friends. The first time around, my brain was full of academic reading for school and not able to focus on novels for some strange reason. (I always drank them in when I was younger.) The second time around, I was still in school, but doing more hands on music things. (School still didn't really give me time to read extracurricular stuff but, you know . . . It happened.) I made it through the prologues and fell in love with the characters. I think I could relate to them more than I would've before, since I'd experienced some unexpected and serious loss. I still would've loved them, but not connected with them as much. I'm rambling. I do that. So, I read WoR, and while waiting for Oathbringer, started on the Mistborn trilogy. Since ploughing through Oathbringer, I'm finishing up Hero of Ages. That's the extent of my Brandon Sanderson reading as of now, and I've loved it. The characters, worldbuilding, and insight into human nature are amazing. I'm an aspiring writer and composer myself. Well, I am a writer and composer. Aspiring in the sense that I want to become a professional at both. I've been working on my own fantasy trilogy for forEVER, struggling to shape a compelling plot for my characters. I think I'm close this time. I'm so glad I've read Brandon Sanderson because now I know it's ok to get openly philosophical and really into the characters' inner thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. I was doing those things, but with some hesitation. Now, no hesitation! (The question that remains for me is the right moments to put the philosophy and inner monologues.) Well, back to homework . . . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanin Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Welcome to 17th shard! Uh, I think I'm supposed to say something about not eating cookies with spikes in them and staying clear of shady folk, but I'm still new at this myself. Anyways, don't give your breath to anybody, and try out some of Brandon's other works, like Warbreaker, which I'm planning on reading myself just as soon as it gets back into the library. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer he/him Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Welcome! I am a stick. And there can only be one stick in this h're town.... I'm totally kidding. The more the merrier! So tell me, if you had a cosmere themed amusement park, what's one ride you'd put in it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tips. I'm not sure what the breath deal is all about. It must be important. Which part of the Cosmere is it from? (Wherever it's from, I hope it's at the library.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cosmere themed amusement park. That's one I might actually go to. My first thought is a windrunner ride. That would mean messing with people's sense of gravity. Hmm . . . But if they just managed to pull off the sensation of flying, that would be awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ILuvHats he/him Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 @Musespren, just so you know, there is a free online copy of Warbreaker online at Sanderson’s website at brandonsanderson.com. So, you don’t even need to go to the library to read it (unless you really prefer hard copies over digital ). Anyways, happy reading! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
