Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Welcome to the Shard! Who's your favorite Sanderson character? 1

My favorite Sanderson character is Kaladin. He is probably most people's favorite, but I still think that he is the best. The main reason being: he sets up The Way of Kings and the Stormlight Archive series really well. I think that the characterization and backstory of Kaladin are my favorite. A question I've had is it pronounced [kuh-la-din] or [kahl-uh-din]? Not sure if there is a right way but just a question. Thanks for asking me by the way!

Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I've always pronounced it Kal-uh-din, but Brandon has said he doesn't care how people pronounce things, so I suppose it doesn't matter. And you're welcome! It's always fun to have new people! Edited October 21, 2019 by Shard of Thought 1
Honorless he/him Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Welcome to the Shard, @0_Graham_0! Kaladin's my favourite too I always pronounced it as Kaa-laa-din Alethi always seemed (especially in contrast to Thaylen) very equi-stressed on its syllables. But like Shard of Thought said, personal preferences What's your favourite magic system? 1
Aon Tia she/her Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I have always pronounced his name as kal-uh-din, but as Brandon says there are no correct pronunciation in this fandom, so feel free to pronounce it as you like it. He is my favourite character too, His struggles and his ability to stand tall amidst it all, and not alone but raise a whole group of people with him, is very inspiring. My favourite book is OB, which one is yours? 1
Wander89 he/him Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Welcome! Just want to say that Graham is a great name 1

But like Shard of Thought said, personal preferences What's your favourite magic system? I'm gonna have to stick with The Stormlight Archive on this one. I really like the shard blades and the shard plate and the whole idea of Spren. It's a very intriguing idea to me.

This may not give me much credit on here, but I have only read the Rithmatist and have almost finished WoK (I'm also working through WoT but have not gotten to the Brandon books yet). This is not very many but I've gotta start somewhere. (You're probably rolling your eyes at me right now. ) But, I am enjoying The Way of Kings more than The Rithmatist. So that is my favorite book!

Not rolling our eyes at all, in fact thinking something along the lines of "more fresh perspective!!!" We'll not spoil anything for you, but could you come back here (or create a new topic) and post your thoughts on the book when you finish it? We love discussing this kind of stuff Edited October 23, 2019 by Honorless 1
