Silus - Shard of Flame Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 So, I just read Firstborn, and it was awesome. It's hard to pick just one thing that made it stand out, it's a really great character piece. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe ST Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 indeed, its a great little story, Defending Elysium's at a similar level of awesome disclaimer: I'm a fanboy >.> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynaut Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 It was actually listening to this book on the Tor.com podcast that made me start reading Brandon Sanderson in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayonn Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Firstborn was indeed very good. Did anyone other than me start reading in hopes that it was about Space-age Scadrial? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus - Shard of Flame Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 You know, I had the thought halfway through of "Hey, what if this is actually Scadrial's future, and Brandon's going to totally blow our minds?" Though I say that as if the second part isn't a given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustopher Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 You know, I had the thought halfway through of "Hey, what if this is actually Scadrial's future, and Brandon's going to totally blow our minds?" Though I say that as if the second part isn't a given. I enjoyed Firstborn. I found it interesting how he approached the almost chess-mentality to the space combat. It was cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalpony Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I thought Firstborn was a really fun read and an interesting character study between two (ideally) similar characters. Also, even though some of the technology seemed a little 'hand-wavy' to me, the story gave me even more hope for Sanderson's third Mistborn trilogy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReaderAt2046 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I partcularly liked Brandon coming up with a logical explanation for how we could have real-time comm across distances that took months to travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
variety.of.passions Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Even though Brandon is a "fantasy" author, it was wonderful to read a sci-fi story that he'd written. I'd like to see more sci-fi in the future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinpoint Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think that the best part was where the worst strategist comes up with the best strategy in the end 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
