Shardcast: Shallan's First Wind and Truth Reading & C2E2 WoBs (ft. Jasonioan)


In April, Brandon read the first two Shallan chapters from Wind and Truth at C2E2, and hoooo boy they are exciting! We discuss those and the C2E2 Words of Brandon, meaning we are finally caught up on WoBs--for now! 

This week, we have Eric (Chaos), Grace (thegatorgirl), Marvin (Paleo), and featuring a special guest, Jason from the channel Jasonioan, who does fantastic, well-produced cosmere content that you should definitely check out. His channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/@jasonioan

Who has a safe that is large enough for a shardblade? Isnt that odd? I wonder if the sword Shallan took is actually Chana's shardblade. Maybe she had that panic safe built to keep her sword around after her death for some reason.

Brandon should write more one off books instead of making everything a trilogy or quintet. Especially for things that aren't core Cosmere. Like this cyberpunk Mistborn trilogy that can't be that essentially if it wasn't on his schedule of Cosmere books as recently as December.

He'd be able to explore more of these stray cool ideas, like Tress, if so many of them weren't 3+ book 1M word arcs.

Her Shardblade could’ve shrunk down to let her use it. She was a child after all.

I agree. Honestly, I don't see why Mistborn Era 3 can't have some cyberpunk-ish features to begin with. I am worried that Sanderson is going to keep back the mechanisation and accessibility of Metal Arts yet again, like he did with medallions et al. for TLM (the Ghostbloods didn't use them, really?!), pushing it off to the next trilogy, only  to now reserve it for this new interloper Era. 

If cyberpunk has to happen, a standalone would be nice, or maybe a collaboration with Wells? I don't want it to be a fully fledged trilogy like Era 3.

First, when Shallan manifested Shardblade to kill Tyn, it was small for the Blade, second I remember reading that Shardblade in safe was stuck in the wall, not just lay there. But this is another problem - Davars aperently have very thick walls (or maybe it was external wall)

safe may be not long enough, but you can stick the blade in the wall.
yes, a normal wall is not thick enough. but if you stick the sword through lenghtwise, instead of along the thickness... ok, it's hard to explain by words, let me try with a picture

this is how you can use a T junction in the wall to both conceal a long, narrow safe, and an even longer shardblade.

 

that said, shalebark ridges can be pretty big; if the safe was on the external wall and there was a cultivated shalebark on the other side, chances are it was thick enough to stick a blade through without it showing on the other side

I didn’t really enjoy studying either, so I often used https://essays.edubirdie.com/essay-editing-service service. But thanks to it, I discovered the magic of writing essays. By the end of school, it wasn’t difficult for me, and I knew how to handle any topic. arcs. 

i agree!
