Ah, thanks for the info. Think I get the concept now. When we finally learn what the Shardblades are I immediately thought of Adolin always chatting with his blade. I'm kinda holding out hope that he resurrects his own Shardblade into a fully functioning Spren and bonds with it properly. WW - thanks for the info on how this place works. It's been a long time since I've been a member anywhere, though I have been admin and global mods on a few forums in the last couple years. Not used to being unable to delete and move things around! But I'm sure I'll adjust. Thanks again.

I get the feeling that "Broken Soul" is an actual "official" term for something in the Cosmere? P.S. Thanks WeiryWriter, wasn't sure who to ask about help. New here, etc.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I was pretty surprised when Adolin got all eye-stabby with Sadeas at the end of the book. Adolin had been occupying the "classic knight/paladin/hero" portion of the story up until then, so a secretive murder in a dark hallway came as quite a shock to me. So what do you all think of his actions? What will be the likely consequences for him personally? Or "spiritually" - he seemed earlier like an obvious choice for a future Knight Radiant, but I'm not sure revenge killing fits in with any of their ideals... Would love to hear more thoughts on this.

EDIT: Posted this in the wrong board, sorry...

Thanks for the welcome! I have read Warbreaker, and am in the middle of The Alloy of Law right now. I haven't read the rest of his novels yet but I plan to. Is there a recommended order?

Hey everyone! I wanted to poke my head in and introduce myself - this is the first "fan forum" I've ever been a part of, although I've been active online in a few other places. A bit about me: - I'm an avid fantasy/speculative fiction reader, and tend to go through a novel or two a week on average - which gets expensive, so I get a lot of my books from secondhand stores. I am currently trying to work my way through a lot of "classic" fantasy and sci-fi - Eddings and Gemmel are making up a good portion of my reading list, but I'm also planning on polishing off the collected works of Isaac Asimov. - I was introduced to Brandon Sanderson's work when I heard he would be finishing The Wheel of Time. A fan of Robert Jordan, I was suspicious of the new author so I went out and bought the Mistborn series - and loved it! I really feel like Brandon breathed new life into The Wheel of Time, and couldn't be happier with the results. - I'm a sword collector, as many fantasy readers probably are... I joined this forum after finishing Words of Radiance, because that book firmly catapulted Brandon into the top spot for my favourite living author. So far both books in The Stormlight Archives have kept me on the edge of my seat, heart pounding and mouth dry, for most of the time I spent reading. I'm blown away by the depth of this series after only two books and can't wait to read more. I'm here to learn more about the Cosmere and meet some fellow fantasy fans. Thanks for having me!
