I just read Mistborn again start to finish. One thing I keep thinking about is this: was the Lord Ruler such a cremhole (executing skaa publicly, including women and children) due to Ruin's influence on him? It feels like the end of the series really tries to justify a lot fo what he did and how he ruled/governed, and the general consensus seems to be "Well, he might actually have been kind of a good guy after all." But we know he's not/wasn't.

I didn't think it was possible to like WoR more than WoK, but it happened. I really think it's because the last ten chapters or so were so incredibly satisfying to read and I really felt like I had been through a super intense experience by the time it finished, plus I loved getting more of Shallan's back story. Not that I didn't love getting Kaladin's in WoK. Arrrghh they're both so brilliant, I'm really glad you had both as an option. But ultimately I have to say WoR, by a hair.

I've read the Mistborn books, and Warbreaker, but that's it! What is the cosmere? Thank you for the tip about responding on the forums - I had no idea! I will definitely do the multi quote from now on. I appreciate it!

Thank you for the welcome. I was so thrilled to discover this site and the forums (I have spent a lot of time on westeros.org forums over the course of my 15 year ASOIAF fandom)

Thanks for the welcome!

Gotcha, I see how it works now...because I have advanced to Darkeyes! awesome!

Ha! I see now that I have 3 points and am Darkeyes. I saw the number zero and then spren, so for some reason thought I had to collect them? silly.

Hey all! Just finished Words of Radiance this past weekend. I was already a Brandon Sanderson fan after reading all the Mistborn books, but as soon as I picked up Way of Kings I knew I was in for something even more freaking awesome. I haven't had an experience with a book like I did with WoR in a LOOOONG time. Like...heart pounding, frantically turning pages, devouring the entire thing in the space of a week! I look forward to delving into discussion.
