I have read the 'Mistborn Trilogy', really loved that of course. I am slightly ashamed to say that I didn't even know about Brandon Sanderson until I found out that he was finishing up the 'Wheel of Time' books. Before I read 'The Gathering Storm' I gave 'The Final Empire' a read and from that moment decided that not only was Sanderson worthy of finishing up Jordan's books, that I might actually like him a bit better than Jordan. The Mistborn books really blew me away. I love how he creates these new systems of magic, Allomancy was incredible. Then I found 'The Way of Kings' and I just...wow...it's hard to find words to describe how much I love 'The Stormlight Archive'. Needless to say, I am a pretty huge fan of the guy now. And now that I have delved more into this Cosmere idea, which I didn't even know anything about at all before reading stuff about it online, I am definetly going to have to go through and read them all. This idea of this overlapping story throughout all the different worlds is really amazing, and I am just as eager to see how that plays out as I am the stories of those individual worlds. Truly, Brandon Sanderson is something special.

Choosing the best character would be hard, but as for my favorite, it has to be Kaladin. Such a great character, I would place him in my top five favorite characters of all time, along with fellows like Raistlin Majere and Drizzt Do'Urden. First of all, he is that stoic type of character that I have always enjoyed. Also, I like him because no matter how much he has been put down, kicked around, and just generally had life crapping all over him, he has not lost that intense desire to protect the people that he cares for. He came close a time or two, but he always forced himself on. And when he finally pulls through his crucial moment in Words of Radiance, it was truly epic. I would have to say Szeth is a favorite of mine as well. Such a tragic character, I have always been a sucker for those types as well. Such pain that man has to go through, and yet such dedication shown to his code, I have to admire that. Jasnah and Shallan are both great characters as well. Am still hoping somehow for a Kaladin/Shallan pairing.

Ehhh, as much as I would love to see this wonderful books made into a tv series, because movies would be far to short, at the same time I don't think I want it to actually happen. They would screw it up somehow, someway.

Greetings fellow Sanderson fans. I just finished reading Words of Radiance today and....my...gods....was it ever phenomenal. I was having a seriously difficult time putting that book down, was not getting enough sleep because of it, lol. I want more, more, more, more. The Stormlight Archive is turning into one my favorite series ever, and Kaladin has moved into my list of top five favorite characters ever. Looking forward to discussing things here!
