Neturo he/him Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Good Day My name is Daniean and I live in Jamaica. I've read on the forum for years but I've never posted, I think it about time I stepped out of the shadows. Like many, I got introduced to Brandon Sanderson about ten years ago when I heard he was finishing The Wheel of Time. I took up Mistborn and read it and it was immediately my favorite book since The Great Hunt. I absolutely loved it. After that, I tried to get my hands on anything Sanderson wrote. When I heard he was planning an opus long series I was the happiest person on Jamrock. So far it has felt like Brandon interviewed me then wrote Stormlight to be the perfect book series for my taste. No interview does not cut it. the man must have read my mind because the stormlight Archive scratches itches that I didn't even know i have. Any way you can get a sent a sense of my taste by the books I've read. 1 The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit 2 by J.R.R. Tolkien The Fellowship of the Ring 3 The Two Towers 4 The Return of the King 5 Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone 6 by J.K.

My taste leans toward rock hard magic systems. Off the top of my head Winner Channelling from the Wheel of Time Honourable mention Chromaturgy from Lightbringer Allomancy, Feruchemy, Hemalurgy from Mistborn Wards from The Demon Cycle Brandon Sanderson is now the king of magic systems. In Stormlight, I think he's almost showing off. I would consider each order of Radiants a different magic system. all of them are very distinct and very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm conflicted about Lightbringer, There is a lot to love in those books. and I loved the magic system. but I just did not enjoy reading then that much. A more recent example is the Poppy War and The Dragon Republic (which I did not finish). These books were just too dark for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What book would you say is your absolute favorite, and why? That would be The Way of Kings Sanderson managed to combine all my favorite fantasy elements and gave me the book I didn't know I needed. A detailed well-imagined world with no resemblance to my own. (I love the escapism) Intelligent and likable heroes, Villians with depth and menace Most of the Magic is Rock Hard. So I'm there with the hero, I know his tools and we can figure stuff out together. Where there is soft magic it is peripheral to the story and just adds wonder. I have a thing for swords and armor and I like the troupe of "the special blade". I have a thing for properly longer epic stories. You just can't tell a proper tale in 500 pages I love strong female characters and female warriors I love the fairy companion troupe. it's cute and endearing.

The list is not complete, just what I could remember. I read the reckoners but I really don't remember much of those books I have been reading the skyward series and I like it. at one point I tried to read all of Brandon's works. I sought them out. I think I found and read all of them. except for the evil Librarian series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingingMosaic Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I'll go through this list, too, because it seems like we have fairly similar tastes in books. Also, admittedly, I'm a little glad I'm not entirely alone. When I did my introduction, I posted a massive list of songs--either things that almost made it onto my Spotify Stormlight playlist, or things that I resonated with. Welcome and I hope you have fun here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
