RavenSlayer Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Hi everyone glad to join this forum. I have been reading Sanderson for a couple years now, mainly the cosmere, I have read Mistborn first era multiple times, second era once, The Stormlight Archive once except for Way of kings and Words of Radiance which I have read a 2 times each, also I have read The Reckoners trilogy and I just love Brandon works, I use a lot Reedit but I wanted to get into the real forum to talk to real Sanderson fans discuss theories and that stuff. I have never join a web forum before so I really don't know how everything works but I guess I figure it out along the way. I really love Fantasy and Brandon is probably my favorite author and my friends aren't at all into this stuff so I mainly talk about this books on reedit and with my sister who I finally got to finish Mistborn Era 1 hahaha.

I'm pretty new here myself but this really seems to be a nice place to talk all things Sanderson and more. What's your favorite character? Tough question hahaha. If I really need to choose one, I think Dalinar would be my favorite, his overarching story I think is the best, to see a men on the Dawn of his life, seeing that most of it is full of death and regreating all the damage he has caused and reevaluating if all of it was worth it , accepting he had been a bad father, a bad husband, a tyrant in many ways a fair one but a tyrant nonetheless yet probably the only person in his society with honor seeing all his flashbacks, the person he was and who he becomes, realizing the most important step a person can take is not the first but the next, accepting his flaws and being better just did it for me. I remember thinking the first time I read Oathbringer "damn I really admire this guy" although I emphatize the most with Kaladin I think Dalinar is the best character Sanderson has written and the climax of Oathbringer is probably the best thing I have ever read in fiction as a whole. What's yours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the great things about Sandersons works is, that every character is incredibly well written. Everyone feels rounded, has his or her flaws and simply feels real. At least to me. So, there are two characters I really enjoyed reading about and I would actually call my favorites: First there is Lopen. It's always funny whe he's around and he's the one who never loses hope. No matter how bad things get for him, he makes jokes and goofes around. It's his argessiv optimism, bordering on insanity that I really like. The other one is Obliteration. Yeah, nicely insane. Always noticing more than he should and having a nice mysterious touch about him. I'll probably like him less if that mystery is more lifted. 6 hours ago, Chinkoln said: Welcome! Both of you!

I meant to introduce me too, but I just applied to the procrastinators club and I don't want to give a bad first impression. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean characters I like but like the least? or characters who I straight up hate? On the heroes side I find Lift specially annoying but I don't hate her, I never liked Renarin either but I don't hate him either I think we'll see his arc on the second half of TSLA but I don't like characters who inspired pitty so maybe next half of the story we get to see some juice with Renarin but until now he is just quite gets beat up we feel for him but that's it I don't get why people like him so much, Dalinar was bad to him, damn let's be sad a little be more for him. I mean I feel for him because Sanderson wrote him that way but I don't especially like him, he is just there. Now on characters I hate, Moash deserves to die, I don't want redemption for this guy I want him dead I hate him over Amaram and Sadeas. Kal trusted him, treat him like a brother and the guy punched his face when he was on his weakest moment, I don't hate him for killing Elhokar I hate him for killing Teft and betraying Bridge 4 just for revenge. #NoRedemption4Moash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
