TakodaS Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Hello all! As the title says, this is the first fandom I've ever joined. I was introduced to Sanderson's work 7 or so months ago, and I have been reading/listening to as much as I can. I have never loved an author so much that I felt so inclined to join and online forum dedicated to nerding out on the author, but here I am! 2
Pagliacci he/him Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Welcome to the Shard! Handle any cookies offered to you with care. What is your favourite Sanderson novel?
TakodaS Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 The Way of Kings was my first introduction to Sanderson, and it always holds a special place in my heart. I can still feel my heart palpitations during the betrayal on the plains. This among so many scenes and characters makes me love it, and I'm excited for a reread eventually.
Pagliacci he/him Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 That's wonderful to hear. Do you read much fantasy beyond Sanderson?
+Invocation Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Welcome to the Shard! Glad to have you here, we love new people (and the people who've been here a while, too, of course). When @Pagliacci says to handle the cookies with care, what he means really is do not take them, no matter how "certified" they are. You can't trust a single cookie on this entire thread due to some shenanigans in a separate thread (the RP section. Feel free to check it out, it's pretty fun!). Is Roshar your favorite world as well as WoK being your favorite book, or is it another world?
TakodaS Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 I hadn't really, besides like standard Tolkien and such. I have read like ~11 Salvatore books for his Drizzt books (my friends and I started playing D&D getting me interested) as well. When I was having internet installed at my house, the guy saw my books on the shelf and had asked me if I was into fantasy, which is when he recommended The Way of Kings. Since reading most of Sanderson's work, though, I have read The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and I'm currently in The Shadow of What Was Lost by James Islington. And I think I like the Roshar world the most just by how much world building there has been and I'm excited to see where it will go, especially with learning about more of Radiants. But, Scadrial is definitely a close second. I loved the magic system(s) and how they worked together; super cool! And I'll refrain from cookies until I read more about them. Thanks for the advice! 1
