XaviGzz Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Hi all, It's been a while since I joined the 17th shard, but never introduced myself. I think I originally joined to get access to the prose version of White Sand and never left I'm originally from Mexico, but been living in the Netherlands for 5 years now. I did my masters here and stayed to work. I started reading the Cosmere a couple of years before Sanderson was announced to finish the Wheel of Time. The first novel I read was Mistborn and have read almost everything canon-wise of the Cosmere. I'm just missing out on the graphic novels of White Sand. Non-canon I have read the prose version of White Sand, Aether of Night and couplemof chapter here and there of Way ok King's prime. My favorite novel is Warbreaker (so you can imagine I was really happy when several characters popped up in Roshar). Looking forward to continuing discussing crazy theories and the books. *Bridge 4 Salute * Javier 1
|TJ| he/him Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Haha! Love the pun. Welcome! What's your favorite character in Warbreaker?
Honorless he/him Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Hah! Well then, we officially welcome you to the Shard, XaviGzz
AonEne he/him Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Hey, we’re glad to have you! Were there any parts of Warbreaker you didn’t like?

It's a difficult question, Lightsong is a brilliant character I find it amazing that he just doesn't care about being "god-like". But I think Vivenna is my favorite, she has amazing character growth through the book and her inquisitive nature is incredible. Hopefully, we can see more of her in RoW, but I'm not keeping my hopes up. 16 hours ago, R J said: Hah!

Were there any parts of Warbreaker you didn’t like? And I thought the first one was a tough question. Haha. Coming from reading Mistborn, where the magic system was thoroughly explained (at least in the first book, and I know the knowledge the characters had of the system was flawed but we had Kelsier explaining everything to Vin) at least on my first Warberaker read I remember it was frustrating not having a good explanation from Vasher to Vivenna about what she could do with her Breath.

I’ll agree with that! I hope we get more info in Nightblood.

Selesria she/her Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Hello, welcome! Haven't gotten around to read Warbreaker myself yet, but it sounds like another amazing book by Sanderson. Are there certain characters you wish would meet at some point in the Cosmere?

(I mean, other than Nightblood xD) Nightblood is soo likable because it's really naive of the world around, and it just barely understands stuff and makes for a great comedic relief. My favorite sentient non-animated object in the Cosmere haha

So many, so I'll restrict myself to one a couple: Stormlight Archive -> Jasnah and Lopen Mistborn Era 1 -> Kelsier, Vin Mistborn Era 2 -> Wayne and Steris White Sand -> Khriss Cosmere -> Hoid How about you? Which characters would you like to meet?
Selesria she/her Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 @XaviGzz Those are some interesting choices, I'm sure a conversation with Jasnah would be cool and Lopen is a great character. Probably, I would like to meet Rock and Adolin, they both seem like people with whom you could have a good time. As for Mistborn, Elend and maybe Hammond; they're another pair you could have quite some interesting discussions with.
