Well, thats a hard question to answer. but probably oathbringer. the last section of the book is a pure endorphin rush of incredible moments. well thats true for every sanderson book, but far more so for oathbringer. 6 hours ago, Rask said: Merry Christmass!

What's your favourite magic system? honestly none of the induvidual magic systems are that interesting. each of them have their moments of creativity but hemallurgy will probably end up being the most important by the end of the cosmere. im just looking forward to seeing the interactions between magic systems 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all waiting for the conflux novels of magical sci-fi era @officiallyaninja, which Cosmere world would you choose to live in, if you had the chance?

Not really the best magic system at all! Especially since we were not even told the name spoken! Is sympathy related to same work?

It's an old idea for magic really, dating back all the way to Ancient Egypt (and remember what they say: Cleopatra is closer to our times than to the building of the great pyramids!) The way Rothfuss refurbished and presented them were quite good! Edited December 30, 2019 by Honorless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Rothfuss refurbished and presented them were quite good! I like the way he handled sympathy, it is the normal magic that kvothe learned right? With alar and all? I did not like the way he handled naming though. He did not even give us the real name of the wind! I kinda was looking forward to finding it out! But may be he had plans to flesh it out more later... but now we will never know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constructed languages are very pleasing sounding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
