Puris92 she/her Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Hey all! I started reading the Stormlight Archive series two years ago and I'm 1/2 way through the Mistborn series now! Really love Sanderson's world building, magic systems, character development and overall epicness. Goal is to read all of his books before the November release of Stormlight 4! Recently started listening to Shardcast and loving every second of it. Super fan of Jasnah and Ivory - waiting (not very patiently) for that possible novella about Jasnah's experience in Shadesmar. 2
Honorless he/him Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Welcome to the Shard! Ah, a worthy goal! All those mentions but no mentions of your favorites? Come on! Favourite books, moments, characters, magic system, metals, Radiant Orders!
AonEne he/him Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Welcome to the Shard! You chose to join on the tenth anniversary of the Shard; there’s a giant awesome Shardcast livestream going on on Twitch sometime today which you might enjoy. And yessss, Jasnah is great! I also want that novella.

Puris92 she/her Posted June 4, 2020 Author Posted June 4, 2020 Ah, there's so many favorite moments! I'll include my favorites from Stormlight... Mistborn is very good but it is hard to beat Stormlight's epic moments. When Bridge Four charges in to save Dalinar and Adolin after Sadeas' betrayal leaving them to fight the Parshendi. Kaladin and Syl reuniting after he almost lost her completely! When Kaladin jumps into the arena to save Adolin and Renarin after saying... "Honor is dead. But I'll see what I can do." SO epic. Followed by Adolin staying in the prison with Kaladin to show his support. All of Jasnah's scenes... but especially in Oathbringer when she finally shows off her abilities in the battle against Odium. And Dalinar grabbing the realms and recharging the spheres saying... "I will take responsibility for what I've done..." And Stormfather's stunned response... "These Words... are accepted." Characters... My favorite characters in order... Jasnah, Kaladin, Navani, Adolin, Taln. Might be a touchy subject but after Oathbringer, I'm not a big fan of Shallan right now. I need to see her character development in Stormlight 4. In Mistborn, favorite character is Ham and his philosophical questions. Metals/Orders... Favorite order is Elsecallers but I might be biased because of Jasnah. Favorite metals so far... Tin, Bronze and Atium. Bronze with a caveat though - only if the Mistborn is strong enough to pierce copperclouds. 2
Emi she/her Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Welcome! I'm asking this question right now to be more original; What is your favorite spren? Edited June 4, 2020 by Emi 1
Puris92 she/her Posted June 4, 2020 Author Posted June 4, 2020 Timbre! I want to learn more about this spren but I like the determination and spunk in Oathbringer. Favorite type of spren... probably Honorspren.
Honorless he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 @Puris92, who's your least favorite character?
Puris92 she/her Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 @R J Hm... In Stormlight, either Moash or Venli. Now that Amaram is dead, I feel like Moash will become our new anti-villain. Venli... I appreciate her character development in Oathbringer but her initial power hungry drive that ultimately led to her sister’s death is still too fresh. Haha. We’ll see how she handles herself in Stormlight 4... but so far she’s left a lot to be desired. In Mistborn, it was Dockson after his personality change in Well of Ascension. I expected more from him as a key leader in Kelsier’s crew but his attitude let me down after Kelsier’s death. What about you? Who are your favorite and least favorite characters? 1
Honorless he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 My favourite characters are Kaladin, Shai. Least favourite characters are Hashal and Matal (from WoK, the Bridgecrews managers) and Dilaf the crazy priest from Elantris How did you discover Sanderson?
AonEne he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Hold up, is your profile pic ace? (It’s pretty, either way)
Puris92 she/her Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 @R J, it was after I finished reading Patrick Rothfuss’ books and wanted to find something similar. Goodreads recommended Way of Kings and I was hooked after reading the book description. It’s so cool that the Shard has been around for 10 years! I feel super behind since I just picked his books up a couple years ago. I found my profile picture after searching for Elsecallers on Google and thought the glyph looked awesome!

Wander89 he/him Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Welcome!! A Jasnah novel would be great actually, hopefully we get some sort of information but any news is good news!
