GDL_129 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Hello everyone, My name is Greg. I started reading Sanderson around 9 months ago when I was finishing up my Masters degree and needed some sort of mental break from reading old stuffy textbooks. I had heard very little about Sanderson so I just grabbed the first novel I found, Way of Kings. It was a bit intimidating at first and took me a little bit of time to adjust to the new lingo, but once I did, Sanderson quickly became my all time favorite author. Since then I have read through his whole catalogue at least once, having read the Reckoners trilogy and Skyward now twice and am finishing my third read through of the SLA. I’m excited to read through all your theories about stuff and getting excited for SLA 4. 1
+Invocation Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Welcome to the Shard! What's your favorite magic system?
GDL_129 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) In the Cosemere, probably that in Mistborne because it’s simple and accessible, yet open to a lot of expansion as we see in the Wax and Wayne series. I really like the Rosharian magic system, but I am holding judgement until we see a more full idea what each of the surges are and do. Edited September 9, 2019 by GDL_129
GDL_129 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 Outside of Sanderson, probably Brent Weeks’ Lightsplitting.
Rask Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Welcome! Can't say I've heard of Brent Week before. What's he write? 1

He’s a fantasy author relatively new to the scene (2008). He has written the Night Angel Trilogy and the Lightbringer series. He is finishing the last book of the Lightbringer series by end of this year I think. The NA trilogy is good, especially for a freshman author, but nothing really earthshaking. The Lightbringer series is really inspired work. Second only to Sanderson himself, IMO. Edited September 9, 2019 by GDL_129
King Aragorn of Gondor Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Welcome, Who is your favorite character so far? Are you a fellow Lopen fan? 1

Don’t get me wrong, I love The Lopen, but I think my favorite character is Dalinar. I get goosebumps every time I think of the climactic ending to book 3.
