Winds Alight

https://stormlightarchive.fandom.com/wiki/Elithanathile

When you watch Life of Brian and during the stoning scene ("Jehova, Jehova!") in the beginning start to think you want to run around on Roshar shouting "Elithanathile! Elithanathile!" while wildly waving your exposed left hand.

I will most likely have the day off and drive to Stuttgart rather early, so a coffee would be nice!

What, don't you think "Krieger des Feuers" was a great title for The Well of Ascension? (It means "warrior of fire" and. Dear German publisher. I have questions.) I don't know whether I can stand listening to a German reading and hear the word "sprengsel" out loud.

You sure about that? I was at a signing of Peter V. Brett at the same bookstore in Stuttgart last year and I believe Brett did the reading of the original version.

I saw the news today on Brandon's FB page and I am SO EXCITED because I am only an hour train ride away from Stuttgart. It's the same bookshop where I got to see Peter V. Brett last year. Seems like a good one for fantasy (I work in a bookshop myself but unfortunately, there are very few fantasy authors coming. Except Pat Rothfuss a few years back.)

Was there actually a king before Gavilar? I though there was none before the Kholin brothers went off to (forcefully) unite Alethkar? Anyway, even if Elhokar's success as a king is ... questionable, I believe Jasnah won't have any of this "puppet" thing.

Let's suggest to Kaladin that he remain behind while others go on a trip to Hearthstone. Good luck with that. Anyway, another point to make: Kaladin most likely's going to befriend at least two (2) people from each side in the conflict and then have a not-so-minor breakdown later on due to this.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh amazing! I want more! Moooore! I'm starved for new content so I'll surely read everything available as soon as possible

I'd say 0%. Brandon talked about the writing process of a Stormlight book several times and if I remember correctly, the writing alone takes about a year and a half if all goes well. So book 4 won't be finished until, say, early summer 2020 if all goes well. Then comes the editing process, proofreading, etc., I believe he does this 4-5 times? Plus getting it into printing form (I don't know the English words here, sorry), formatting, cover art, additional art, actual printing etc. If we get the book in late 2020 that's going to be a new record. Early 2021 would still be good. Remember, between TWoK and WoR we had to wait four and a half years. WoR to OB was three and a half years. Also, I believe book 4 and 5 will be very closely intertwined, so a lot of work on 5 needs to be done while planning out 4, thus the outlining process for both 4&5 happening now. I'd even say I'd prefer a longer break between 3 and 4 if we could get 5 a little earlier. After all, OB had much more closure than TWoK and WoR (imo at least). Right now, we know the (temporary?) title "The Rhythm of War". Brandon said he might change it later on, but for the moment that's what the book is called. Cover art most likely will come a few months pre-release. My guess is summer 2020 if all goes to plan.

Aaaaaaaand we have a bar for SA 4 rough draft! Yeeeeeeeet!

That's what I thought too. Many Fantasy movies look like crem in terms of CGI and SA has so much of it! But I don't actually need TV movies/adaptations of these books. I'd be fine if The Black Piper would just make an album for every book. ^^

The biggest problem with a TV adaptation I see is aging actors and the looooong time we still have to go before all ten books are out. So right now I'd probably vote for an animated show. TBH I'm a passionate manga read and anime watcher and Stormlight is absolute fantastic anime stuff. Magical Girl transformations included.

Happy World Poetry Day! Windrunners, ever struggling, will arise, will struggle, ever running winds.

I was tonight and it was amaaaziiing! I was never truly hyped for this movie even though I tried to be open-minded about it. I just always have a hard time to give new faces in an established fandom a chance. It was not only much better than I anticipated, it was an awesome movie! I liked Carol well enough, Fury was a delight, there was a great twist to the whole story and I'll never look at my cat the same way ever again.

He's mine and I'm not giving him away

The story is about the human-listener relations. The people in the girl's village believe that the wall is there to keep something out. When the girl climbs the wall and looks at the other side and sees the stairs she learns that the wall is designed to keep something in. So the people in the village who believe themselves to be the potential victims of whatever's living on the other side are actually the dangerous beings that need to be kept away from the other side. I believe the "wall" is a metaphor for the mountains separating Shinovar from the rest of Roshar. So, the village people are the people from Ashyn, supposed to remain on the Shin side of the mountains who shield the listeners from human invasion. I see it as foreshadowing to the big "humans are the true Voidbringers but have no idea" revelation in OB.

Me too! If I had the chance to ask Brandon one thing I'd probably ask him about Gavinor and Oroden in the books of the second half!

Let's bring Oroden to Urithiru too. A baby brother of Kaladin? B4 would go wild.

I'm not sure whether B4 will be willing to give Gavinor back. I mean, with Drehy and Skar rescuing him from Kholinar he's practically B4's adopted son. Like ... 30 and a half men.

After losing patience with the German publisher of Akatsuki no Yona (we're stuck at vol. 15 since october 2018) I caved in and read the whole manga online within four days. It's one of the best I ever read and I'm now impatiently waiting for the next chapters to come out.

We do have confirmation that Nightblood will be the book that (in part) bridges the gap between Warbreaker and V2's and Nightblood's travel to Roshar. The Warbreaker sequel will have absolutely no problem with filling a whole book with plot. I don't quite see Roshar destroyed ... it would kinda be lame. Humans stormed up Ashyn, now it's Roshar's turn? No one did learn a thing from Ashyn's apocalypse, so let's blow up another world? Thank you, but no.

My mother bought this amethyst years ago and left it here when she moved out: Should I leave it out in the next thunderstorm?

She's hunting Vasher (Zahel, the grumpy ardent we met in Words of Radiance is Vasher!) and Nightblood (who is with Szeth obviously). I don't know for sure but I believe it's been several hundred years since the events of Warbreaker. It indeed seems like Vivenna has become quite the Awakener. There will one day be a sequel to Warbreaker (called Nightblood) which will bridge part of the gap between Warbreaker and Stormlight.
