  1. At some point, Raoden tells Galladon that Duladen is under Fjordic rule, and that Jesker is no longer practiced. Galladon responds with sadness and remarks on the lack of authenticity of the Jeskeri Mysteries. This conversation was perhaps given as an indicator as to the mechanism by which magic is made on Sel. I've been thinking about this for a while now, and posted some speculations here.

  2. Now I finally know why the Foundation trilogy is regarded the way it is. I love the epic feel and the changing perspective of the Foundation over the centuries. That, added to the fact that there is still a question of whether they're going to succeed over the years, makes a really enjoyable story. 

     

    I'm also in the middle of the Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay. It's a well told story. 

  3. Just finished Imager. I enjoyed the world and the magic quite a bit, and I'm always a fan of teachers and students, but there wasn't a lot of tension in the way it was written. I also read The ABC Murders in the space of twenty-four hours. Agatha Christie is really good at what she does. Moving on to A Cat Among the Pidgeons.

  4. Nifty things, owl pellets. Never could understand why people didn't like 'em. They're little packages with puzzles inside.

     

    Here, I'll leave a plate that's got some grease on it. (I'd give you the cheese knife, but I need it for the owl pellet.)

  5. Hrathen's a very interesting person to read and has a good character arc. But there's also...

    Nalizar. I'm really curious about exactly what is going on. Every time I read the ending there, I come up with a different theory as as to why chalklings are in a war with the humans, because it seems like they don't have any reason.

     

    Also, Hrathen autocorrects to Heathen, which I find a touch odd.

  6. I forgot about this thread until it got bumped... ha. So a friend of mine requested something with Shallan, Kaladin, and Adolin for Christmas, and me being me, I decided to write a ketek for the three of them. I feel like my keteks are a little bit ridiculously long, in that their "five parts" tend to be... like full sentences. It's 53 words, but whatever. Long keteks are just more fun.

     

    Two Soldiers, Two Radiants, Two Lighteyes

    Families found broken in pieces

    Plainly shattering this light within

     

    Loved one became liar

    Spearman turned slave

    Proud prince defeated

     

    Raise Light up!

    We bind fate as fate binds us up

     

    Light raises defeated prince’s pride

    Slave turns spearman

    Liar becomes one loved

     

    Within light, this Shattered Plains’ pieces

    In brokenness, found family

     

    Feather. How are you so good at this? Classical ketek it is not, but... it is beautiful. (I'm head-canoning that it's about Dalinar instead of Adolin. Dalinar forever! Or until Brandon kills him in Oathbringer. :()
