lu-tze Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Rock's family arriving at the plains, and his youngest not recognizing him. Bittersweet. The 10th pancake is a lie 1

Kidpen he/him Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I don't think I have ever cried during Cosmere (Elhokar got me close though. I'm all for Elhokar being a terrible king, but killing him in the middle of his oath was a low blow). However, I did cry during one noncosmere part: Spoiler The last page of Alcatraz 5, because I stopped at the last page and didn't go past the footnotes (I was on the Kindle version).
Jaywalk he/him Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 On 5/21/2019 at 4:36 PM, Wyndlerunner said: also, Honorable Non-Cosmere mention for A Memory of Light That was one of my favorite scenes in any book ever.

Nnatel she/her Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Not any of the emotional scenes but just one from today: I'm currently rereading Mistborn Era 1 and was really, really close to crying when Vin said to Kelsier that she would like to see flowers one day.
Wander89 he/him Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 If we are going non-Cosmere then the scene in Rithmatist where Spoiler Joel goes into the chamber finally to become a Rithmatist and it has no effect. He'd studied his whole life, pondering the question of what-if and it turns out that nothing changes.
Everstorm Entropy he/him Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 I don't really cry at books; at least I have yet to. Sometimes a movie will get me, but something about books is just a degree too far removed to get me to actually cry. Not to say that there haven't been a ton of great emotional moments. Rereading MB Era 1 and: Spoiler When Kelsier shows his scars to the crowd of Ska and says "The Lord Ruler can't kill me; he already tried and failed." I realized upon the second reading that he's referring to himself as "hope", just like he does before he dies. He knows that he will likely be killed, but understands the importance in what he's doing and that what he instills in the people can never be killed. Also for SA: Spoiler When Dalinar visits the Night Mother and wants to forget everything he did.
Mushroom Catalog he/him Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 I didn't cry, but I just felt really bad about the whole Mare deal, when Wax mentions once that there is a flower called "Marewill" in Shadows of Self, maybe.
Ryan Diggory he/him Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Same with me in Rithmatist, except Spoiler The fact he saw what Rithmatists see in the inception, but wasn't chosen himself.

I, for sure, thought it was going to happen but in true Sanderson fashion he threw us a curveball! Edited May 30, 2019 by Wander89
Ryan Diggory he/him Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Ha, he throws plenty of those! The entirety of reading Skyward, I tried to guess what was going to happen... but never could!

Very good, but not particularly surprising (other than Doomslug. He is a total wild card.)
+robardin he/him Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 The axe took off Elend's head. He clutched the book, that matchless work of art, and held it out. Then he dropped it into the flames. "Almighty, Oh Almighty..." The king ... The king was Dalinar's Tien. This was the man he wanted to be. ... Strength before weakness. ... "You. Will. Not. Have. Him." "Tell me," Wax said, voice cracking and rough from his shouting. "Tell me, kandra." "I killed her," Wax whispered, squeezing his eyes closed. "I killed her again." He looked at Kaladin, then quietly made the Bridge Four salute, wrists tapped together. The spear he held dripped with Elkohar's blood. He closed his eyes, breathing out, listening to a sudden stillness. And within it a simple, quiet voice. A woman's voice, so familar to him. I forgive you. 1

Wander89 he/him Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Just finished Bands of Mourning and one particular quote just shot me Spoiler "Survive"
Truthless of Shinovar he/him Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 spoilers ahead Every time that Elhokar dies, it just kinda makes me sad. Not crying, but just sad,because I mean that guy was about to get such a cool redemption arc! I really wanted to see him change, and become someone better than he was, and storming Moash came and killed him Also in Mistborn: Secret History, watching Leras die was really kinda sad, just to see him devolve and slowly die. Oh, and one last one! When Shallan tries to soulcast Stick into fire, I laughed so hard I started to cry, then actually cried because Shallan actually thought she could soulcast Stick, but she can’t, and is a complete and utter failure in that regard

Doomslug was the best part of the entire book! I would definitely cry if... Spoiler He wasn't in the next book... or he dies....

Ryan Diggory he/him Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Okay, that would make me cry with tears of joy!
