Mistborn Character Poll Who would you be?
mistwannabeborn replied to mistwannabeborn's topic in Mistborn
If you feel I should add to the poll any other attributes, characters or powers please post it here also -
If you could be any character from the Mistborn series which would it be? Would you be one of the good characters? or would you chose to be one of the bad? Going forth on that theme if you could chose a character that that didn't have certain powers although you liked the attributes which power would you give them? Try to keep the post from giving away spoilers so those that are still reading the books can take part without having plots ruined for them. (ME INCLUDED AS I AM ONLY 1/3 THROUGH THE 3rd BOOK)

Don't know how you got that so fast but wow. Brandon has quite the sense of humor. Thanks again!!
-
Agreed now I want to try the Alcatraz series. Thanks for adding that to this thread as I didn't know Brandon already explained why he recaps everything. Stormcage your "quote" is the best!! To quote. Lol

Just an introduction to say I exist and that yes I love reading Mr. Sanderson's work. I chose the name Mistwannabeborn as I would love to live in the world of Mistborn and be able to have the powers of a Mistborn! I was introduced to Mr. Sandersons work with the book Steelheart. I was bringing a bunch of boys to a retreat in Ohio and it was a 7 hour drive and I looked on Audible for a young adult novel that would entertain the boys. Wow was I ever exposed to what a story could be! The 7 hours on the way out went in what seemed a flash. Now we had to wait for the retreat to end so we could pack our bags head home and listen to the rest. Suffice it to say we barely completed it in time and the boys loved it. It was the first experience I had with Brandon and not my last. My family listened to the Rithmatist when we went on vacation this past summer and again was not disappointed. I have just completed the first two books of Mistborn and I'm in the middle of the last of the first trilogy now. I am looking forward to delving into the Stormlight Archive series and Firefight next. Keep up the great writing as you have me as a faithful reader from this point on... Hoping to read how others felt about reading the mistborn series and look forward to their thoughts on the series

Hello my first experience of Mr. Sandersons work was the book Steelheart.

Oudeis, No I was saying originally I didn't understand why he was doing it and it was taking me out of the experience of the book. Love the stories too much not to keep on going for a few redundant passages...

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
mistwannabeborn replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
When you have all his books those that are available and those that are in pre-order. Telling your wife about so and so dying or how this person is now able to do something they couldn't. (Notice I am purposely leaving out names and what they could do as I don't want to spoil it for others). Especailly when your wife doesn't care and will never read the book she just gives me an O Ok... Keep up the good work Mr. Sanderson! -
Thanks Cosmerenaut and great name! And Twenty@20 I am looking forward to that series of books although I am at least a month or two away from starting them. Need to finish book 3 Mistborn, then Firefight....
-
I'll Keep that in mind and I don't see myself not indulging in more of Sandersons work. I would miss so much more as it seems he gets better with each book he writes. I'm looking forward to reading Firefight and then starting The Stormlight books. Thanks for the insight!

Thanks Guys didn't think of it in that light... Question as I am new to this forum I notice I now have a -1 next to my name. I guess its not preferred to ask a question that is a negative toward a series? I was asking for input not trying to make others mad. I appreciate everyone's feedback as I didn't think of the long periods of time between writing the novels. Thanks again guys!

I understand that is the premise behind why he does it but most authors don't repeat earlier books to get their reader up to speed. I for one like that approach much better. Why would one want to start a book midstream? For the couple that do I think its unfair to the loyal reader to repeat whats already been learned for those few and its enough to take you out of the story in disgust as if I just forgot everything. Like I said I love his stories just don't like that the first 1/3 of all the books in this series rehashes everything for those that didn't read the other books. Does his do this in the stormlight archive also?

I now understand why Mr. Sanderson is repeating the information I originally asked in this thread. For those that might have the same question please read the complete thread as many good points were brought up. My Original post: Mr. Sanderson, You write a phenomenal yarn and I love your books! I have already read Steelheart, the Rithmatist and the first two books of Mistborn. I ask you please to stop repeating how the magic works for every book. It seems that you rehash the way everything works that already happened in two books again for the third. I am seriously hoping this isn't going to be the case for the Storm Light Archive. Your writing style is great but its annoying and takes me out of the story when its explained how the magic works yet once again. I am hoping your newer Mistborn series Alloy of Law and preceding books will not have this issues also.
