In Steelheart, Cody is my favorite character. He wasn't in Firefight almost at all though, which is why he's not my favorite.

How long is this tie going to last...?

Train of thought: Merry-->Pippin-->Random P words-->Potato head-->Purple is the best color-->Purple Phoenix. Obviously. (Also, Quiver, right now Sandra and Woo's story arc is the "Divine Comedy", where the devil tries to save Sandra from Thomas J. God in exchange for Larisa's immortal soul. So yes, it's good.

Saw this strip of wonderfulness today. Does anyone at 17th Shard read Sandra and Woo?

We should form a group! The Rock-spelling guild of greatness!!

Me: sees grammar *runs*

Okay, you win. I have absolutely no idea.

Ah, those were the days... You know you're addicted to 17thshard when you consider it extremely important to get more upvotes than others, at all costs. Edit: whoever you are, you've made me an honorspren! Thank you!

You mean...AAGH I FORGOT Just kidding. Is Veil hard to remember for you? I couldn't remember Lopen until I reread the series.

3 is 1980s tech. 4 is sci-if.

Fixed. He's not that good. Updated list: 1. Taravangian 2. Taravangian 3. Taravangian 4. Taravangian 5. Taravangian 6. Taravangian 7. The Lopen 8. Taravangian 9. Taravangian 10. Taravangian

My personal Top 10 rankings after WoK: 1. Shallan. My favorite Cosmere character. I love her quirks, her powers, association with the ghostbloods, drawing skillz, and ability to beat Kaladin in conversation. Though I can see what @Ariyar was saying with her illogical alliance with Sebarial. She had amazing flashbacks and had an extremely powerful scene with Pattern at the end of WoR. She's such an interesting character I recently reread all of her chapters from the two books, just to refresh how great she is. 2. Taravangian. Best villain of anything, ever, from anything. I tend to like the "smart, manipulative" villains better than the "I have a giant laser robot" villains. He is the best of that first kind from any book, movie, or TV show I've ever read, though Benjamin Linus from Lost comes close. Fortunately, he's not a cosmere character, so I don't have to rank him on this list. He wakes up every day with a different level of intelligence and a different emotional state, and he has to murder people to save the world. 3. The Lopen. A one-armed herdazian who (apparently) was once a king of some place, and a member of Bridge Four. He lacks no enthusiasm, and we need viewpoints from him. Well, what we need is a whole book about Wayne, Lift, Lopen, and Hoid bantering and expressing their inner wierdness, but this is close enough. I love Lopen's positive attitude to everything. 4. Kaladin Stormblessed. He's cool. He's got a magical shapeshifting weapon which is actually a spren named Sylphrena. I really, really liked him leading Bridge Four in the first book, and his facing off against Moash and Graves in WoR. 5. Moash. He's didn't really do much in WoK, but in WoR he had an awesome storyline where he eventually betrays and almost kills Kaladin and Elhokar. Is it wrong for me to wish that he had? Then we could have a redemption arc in book 3, 4, and 5. But still. He's great. 6. Adolin, the uncaged whitespine. He had some of the best chapters in WoK when he fought four shardbearers and beat them to the ground, with some help from Kaladin and Renarin. I want him and Shallan to end up together, because Adolin is funnier than Kaladin. I stand by this. 7. Amaram. Another villain who does bad stuff but for a good cause, he killed Kaladin's friends. Other people hate him, but I think he'll find redemption later in the series. Just you wait. 8. Mraize. Third best villain of WoK, sorry @Daniyah. He is mysterious, leads the ghostbloods, and has a blowgun. He discovers who Shallan is at the end of WoR, which makes us think he's extremely conniving. Unfortunately, it's probably Iyatil who did it. But whatever. 9. Nalan. A herald and future viewpoint character who killed Ym and later tried to kill Lift. He brought Szeth back to life and gave him Nightblood. Need I say more? 10. Renarin. Adolin's brother, who just wants to help. He ends up joining Bridge Four. Unfortunately, he's pretty useless, until the BIG REVEAL where he turns out to be a Sightseer Truthwatcher. Sorry, Dalinar and Szeth fans. (It should be noted that Stick would top this list, but I was forced to remove him by agents of the villanous Rock. You've been warned.) Edit: (Also, I totally agree with what @maxal said about Adolin.) Edit: Parantheses are fun.)

Well, technically, Jack Thorne wrote it "based on an original new story" by JKR. So I think Thorne would be an even bigger fan, for adapting a fanfic into a different medium.

Spooooooooilers!! I pretend the book ends with him pushing the Oblito-button, and then maybe Megan's PoV or Prof's for an epilogue, maybe Obliteration. He's being really dramatic and stuff, and I'm getting chills, and he says My name is David Charleston. I kill epics. And he sacrifices himself to kill Calamity and save the world. But no, instead Calamity stops the blast, and we get this thing about how Calamity thinks humans are all evil, and David changes his mind. Then he gets superpowers. Which is good and all, but I just love me a good heroic sacrifice. So...yeah. I still like him, but I'd probably be voting for him if we'd got the ending I wanted. But, I guess if we expect the ending, it's not as fun. *tangent over* Edit: I...I've been downvoted. What have I done to deserve this, cruel world? Nooooo...

Ok, maybe @Rasarr is right. But I was more talking about how weird the character's own personality is, not his powers. And I do define Stephen's hallucinations as a "power". Heal Megan, hurt Leeds 1. David--12 2. Megan--18 3. Cody--18 9. Joel--17 10. Melody--16 17. Stephen Leeds--18

Well, I never thought he was bad, after all, Brandon wrote him. I just never saw him or his aspects as interesting as Reckoners or Other Brandon works' characters. Also, nobody is as weird as L. I won't believe it.
