"I will unite questions and answers, Testfather. I will bring knowledge together."

...When you scribble the Second Ideal of the Bondsmiths on the desk you're using in the examination hall shortly before the exam begins.

I've never heard of any of them except John Green (I think). D:

*School of green, fish-like spren with eyes glowing with the Stoneward glyph heckle Delightful, all while whispering 'of torture sublime' over and over*

Without wishing to spoil too much, you could call Warbreaker a 'prequel' of sorts to the Stormlight Archive.

And Swimmingly, father of hecklespren saves the day by getting the reference

Y U DO DIS STONEWARD?!

Is this real life?

I named a Zubat after my best friend. It's now my strongest Pokemon and a Crobat Delightful the Gyarados has some appeal to it...

There are references to Warbreaker in WoR, which I figure you'll appreciate better if you've read them

I always thought it meant honest. But humble works too. And yes, he is amazing. Who have you read thus far?

I should name my Pokemon after 17th Shard members.

Best of luck man, just had an exam of my own and I can relate. Imho, he is better. Every sentence is a work of art, and the prologue that GreyPilgrim linked is astoundingly beautiful. I suppose you could call it 'Harry Potter goes to college' with far, far better prose.

You should actually read Warbreaker before WoR - totally worth it. Otherwise, it's a fair choice.

Clearly whoever trained BreathTaker forgot to add in speed EVs.

I think you might be taking it a little too seriously. I never said all teenagers were like that, just that I don't exactly have a fond liking of those that are. I'm not being hateful - I'm just pointing out why I don't like the Hunger Games, and this was relevant to the explanation. I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to spin-doctor it into some kind of teen-hating rant. Storms, I'm not that old in the first place. What makes you think I'm not a teenager myself, or someone who's just gone through that stage?

You sound rather peeved. Calm down. Anyway, it's not just that it became the go-to book for hormone-overdosed teens; I probably should have elaborated. It's that it could have done things so much better - instead of focusing on the horrors of war, for example (something I feel even younger readers should be exposed to, but I digress) the main plot got sidetracked by the romance subplot, which is not good, to say the least. And Katniss is a bland character. Perhaps not Bella-bland, but bland regardless. The entire trilogy has her being pushed around, forced to do as others require of her. This doesn't just apply to Snow and those in positions of power - even in her own love life, she's never actually given the choice to choose. Essentially, she just got stuck with Peeta and then went 'meh, I'll take him I suppose', when she could just have said 'I don't like you that way'. The epilogue shows this pretty well (I thought it was one of the few good parts in the book), how she's resigned to a life with a man she doesn't quite love. One can make the argument that not all characters can be strong, but in this case it just feels like bad character development to me. In essence, no, the hormone-overdosed teens aren't my main reason for disliking it; it's just that they are symptomatic of the actual problem - that the Hunger Games is at its core, a poorly-written romance novel trying to masquerade as a more action-oriented one, which is my pet peeve. Why not just be straightforward and make it the main plot?! Twilight was honest in that regard anyway!

At least I don't have to worry about that. I am poemspren... Or maybe symmetryspren...

In Soviet Russia, evil destroys you!

Lord of the Rings, as a child. I dabbled with The Inheritance Cycle and Harry Potter too. Poor substitutes, those. Mostly read Star Wars novels until I stumbled onto the Erevis Cale trilogy in Forgotten Realms. Even after that, I only started reading more fantasy novels due to Suvudu's cage match. Introduced me to Kelsier, Jean Tannen, Moiraine and Kylar Stern. Decided to pick up the novels mentioned there and never looked back.

Grimweaver. Joyleecher.

I was fine with it until it became the go-to book for hormone-overdosed teens. I did like the ending though. So grim and lacking of joy.

Well... yes. But I don't fall onto them! And I have not forgotten, nor have I forgiven. Did anyone get the reference? No? No? Okay Well, I consider it a compliment, although people tend to say England more than America (which is funny since I use American English). I'm actually an Asian lurking somewhere in Southeast Asia.

It means that the thread is rather popular at present. ...Although I suppose you could just take it another way and be flattered by the compliment.
