ShardOfAnxiety he/him Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Good morning/afternoon/evening. I’m ShardOfAnxiety. I started reading Brandon recently - October 2018. Since then, I’ve consumed all of his Cosmere works, in order of publication, through Bands of Mourning, with only Arcanum Unbounded, Oathbringer, and White Sand, Vol. 2 remaining. I look forward to spending time between now and the release of Stormlight 4/Wax&Wayne 4 hanging out with you lot. Edit: Merciful Domi, I referred to White Sand, to my horror, as White Sands. Edited to salvage my credibility. Edited January 21, 2019 by ShardOfAnxiety 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormblessed Dolphin he/him Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi! welcome to the Shard! Let me just tell you, You're gonna love Oathbringer. But what's your favorite book so far? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShardOfAnxiety he/him Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thank you, Stormblessed Dolphin! It’s really tough to choose, because I like them all for different reasons. As of right now, it’s a tie between Hero of Ages and Words of Radiance. HoA because it was my first time experiencing a true Brandon Avalanche and massive payoff, and WoR because it mixes everything Brandon does so well - an awesome magic system in action, deep philosophical questions, worldbuilding, and amazing characters - with a big dose of Cosmere info. How about you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormblessed Dolphin he/him Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I think I'd have to say, (though I'm biased since I started out in the Stormlight Archive) that Oathbringer is my favorite. But HoA is definitely great, and I have to include BoM when talking about my favorites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Welcome! Have you read any of his non-Cosmere books? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShardOfAnxiety he/him Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Fellow Shard! Greetings, and thank you! It may have been more apt to call myself ShardOfIndecisiveness, because it’s a tie between Wayne and Hoid. Granted, my Hoid favoritism may be in the lead...as Hoid is my dog’s middle name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Ha, ha, ha! Very nice. My family is getting a dog really soon and I was very insistent that its name be Cephandrius but alas my 5 year old sister can't pronounce it very well and we ended up getting a girl anyway. We're naming her Vivian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShardOfAnxiety he/him Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thank you, Silva! I’ve read Skyward, Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds, and Children of the Nameless. I really enjoyed all of them, and am looking forward to Starsight. I’m saving Reckoners for after I finish my three remaining Cosmere works (Arcanum Unbounded, Oathbringer, and White Sand, Vol. 2). I also just finished Knife of Dreams in the Wheel of Time series, so I’ll have even more Brandon to look forward to! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because its a puppy consistency is important. Still, I'll probably end up calling her Vivenna by accident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're happy to have you on the Shard! Do you like roleplaying? Thanks, @AonEne. I do! Of all sorts. For video games, I’m a big RPG guy. For cosplay, my wife and I tend to take costumes seriously - I bet we could pull off a Wax/Steris. For board games, I’m just now getting into tabletop RPGs. I got the Mistborn Adventure game for Christmas, but wanted to finish the series beforehand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to say, though, that the admins don't really like us double-posting. You're totally fine since you're new, but in the future, there's an edit button. 1 minute ago, ShardOfAnxiety said: Thanks, @AonEne. I do! Of all sorts. For video games, I’m a big RPG guy.

If you're interested in doing some RP here, I have to encourage you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ark1002 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Welcome to the shard! I highly recommend, you check out the RP section, particularly the Alleyverse. Also, join a guild! My personal favorite is the Ghostbloods, but I would also recommend the Keeper's, the Diagramists, and the Dark Alley. https://www.17thshard.com/forum/forum/15-role-playing/ https://www.17thshard.com/forum/forum/92-alleyverse/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
