A hello from Vietnam

[Long try]

Hi there everybody!

I wonder if there is anyone here from Vietnam, or at least Asia? As a debut post, I've got some questions for you already:

1. What is the reason behind our name 17th shard? What are the other 16?

2. I rated WoR 5 stars because there's no option of 4.5 on goodreads. The reason behind it is some plotholes, or at least some logic inconsistency that I found in numerous parts. They bug me quite a lot, and I couldn't find a proper place to discuss them there. So... what is the sub-forum where I should post those questions? And what should I expect? You know, as we're all Sandersonites, I'm afraid some of the responses would be like "Shut up", "Brendon is a god & can't make a mistake"... something like that.

Thank you & cheers!

Welcome! The god of the universe, where many of his books take place, (Stormlight Archives, Mistborn, Elantris, etc) was shattered into 16 different shards (or pieces of himself that contain great power). Odium in Stormlight Archives is a person who has one of them. Honor was another

The 17th Shard is a organization

Feel free to be as critical as you wish with Brandon as long as you are polite and list the reasons why you have a problem with it. You will find people that will politely counter your arguments and people that will agree with you. I’m not afraid to be critical of Brandon when I feel it’s warranted. We are for the most part reasonable around here 

if you look at the forum part of the website you can find a section called Stormlight Archives. You can post all questions related to that series there

Thanks a bunch! Wow, those links lead to a rabbit hole. It was quite hard to stop myself from revealing too much spoilers   But they are super helpful anyway.

Not at all, literally, if you come here right now...
