Firstborn is Awesome

[Silus - Shard of Flame he/him]

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.

indeed, its a great little story, Defending Elysium's at a similar level of awesome

It was actually listening to this book on the Tor.com podcast that made me start reading Brandon Sanderson in the first place.

Firstborn was indeed very good.

Did anyone other than me start reading in hopes that it was about Space-age Scadrial?

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.

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.

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.

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

I think that the best part was where

the worst strategist comes up with the best strategy in the end
