Who am I? RAFO

[Kalrez]

Hello everyone! So i've stumbled upon this site of yours.. Little did I know that I would find myself among other who share my interest.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Magnus. Father of two young rascals. I'm 29 and currently a student to become a pre-school teacher (meaning a teacher for children between age one and six).

At the moment I'm occupied on Elantris. During the last eleven months I've been worked through all other cosmere content. Oh what a year its been! ..hoping to wrap things up before new year if I press on. But you you all know what they say. Journey before destination

Welcome to the Shard! Who's your least favorite character?

Thanks for the warm welcome! 

Tough questions, depending if by favourite you mean most intriguing and most pleasurable reading experience. 

Short answer: 

Favourite: Kaladin. Due to the fact that Way of kings was my first meeting with Sandersons cosmere and mr.Stormblessed made such an impression. 

Of course, honorable mentions is all of the  goofy yet wise sidekicks and what not! Such as Lightsong the brave, Hoid, Lift and Wayne.

Least favourite: Kenton, from White Sand. Of all other characters in the cosmere i find him among the least intriguing.

One thing I really enjoy with most of the characters throughout the cosmere is the interactions with one another and not the character per se as in persona, goals, attitude etc. Find it amusing when the grumpy 'scowling' supporting characters is mentioned in relation to crews or bridge teams.

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you hate Moash- 

[Kalrez]

From a 'narrational perspective' i wouldnt say i hate him. He brings both contrast and a certain degree of uncertainty. One could even say Moash is Sandersons means 'to kill your darlings' which in the long run might be good. 

Buuut on an 'immersion level' i do hate him maybe even around 8-9 depending on his accountability/guilt.

Hi there! I’m also new and I also started my journey with the Stormlight Archive, although Elantris is my favorite stand-alone story. Hope you liked it!

I 1000% agree with your opinion on Moash, well said!
