    Knowing Sanderson there is a probably a plethora of different cultures and peoples that will come more into play in the third trilogy I imagine.
  2. He's more of the cousin of a prominent lord in their tribe, so yea he's up there in royalty for sure.
  3. I mean if we have to comb over small scenes like this for plot holes, we got it pretty easy on the plot hole department.
  4. Sounds edgy. I'll continue to not contribute meaningfully else where
  5. The Frenemies really stands out as the best Imo. Keep it up.
  6. I doubt he'd kill off Kaladin or even Shallan atleast for right now, but Dalinar I got a hunch he might just make kick the ol' bucket at the end of three. Maybe even Adolin.

    I don't get it, I think I mist the joke. (this picture is very important)
  8. Don't get me wrong, I do love Warbreaker and all of his novels. It's just alot of those little tropes stood out to me primarily in Elantris and Warbreaker. That probably explains it, I guess I'm just too used to Joe Abercrombie and so on. Edit: Oh, I entirely forgot it censors words on these. You get the idea. storm

    Ascendant warrior Vin

    storming grade A.
  10. It doesn't just support it, it sort of pretty much atleast guarantees Kaladin is gonna be all weird in book three about it.
  11. I never get why Warbreaker is some peoples favorites, if anything it sort of highlights alot of Brandon's own tropes as a writer, which I shall list below. 1. Overly written 'witty' royal or important person that has to make an annoying amount of quips even if it can detract from the mood of a scene or event. This is perfectly representative of Lightsong and how many storming hilarious quips he makes. It's funny because he's selfaware of it all and likes to make jokes about it 24 hours a day. This can also be sort of applied to Vivenna for the first half, (Big Spoilers ahead), nearly dying? Have a quip, feeling scared? Have a quip. Talking about how terrified and vulnerable she really is? Have another few lines of quip and Sanderson banter. My issue is all this banter and quips of his can almost detract from the impact and serious things that happen in the story when the characters don't really feel like a person at times. '"probably not for us to know." "Probably," he agreed. Silence. "Should have called you wartlover the ugly," she finally said. ' Oh Brandon, you funny guy you. 2. The restating what we already know or what the character just said in italicization. 3. The 'I have to invent my own swears for the world, gotta keep it pg. and all. Now this one is sort of my lesser gripes with how he does things, but I sort of get the feeling having the characters say something along the lines of, Colors colors colors!' As apposed to 'storm storm storm!' kind just detracts from drama a bit I guess if that makes sense. For instance when Blushweaver is abruptly killed, Lightsong can only go 'Colors!'. I read Stormlight archive first, then Mistborn, then I moved on to all his other books so I suppose i've just been spoiled by his more current writing. I also imagine I have an unpopular gripe and opinion when it comes to sanderson books and his tropes.

    They say Lessie's mood really Waxed and Wayned.
  15. Do we have any idea how hold Hoid is?
  16. It's usually various degrees of corruption. In the Alloy of Law and Shadows of Self, the government's corruption models a little to our own. Petty bribes and such. While in the Mistborn..well. "Let the executions begin!" - Lord Ruler.
  17. They're probably called Axehounds because they're not exactly gods. (Fantasy naming for fantasy stuff is probably why) http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/stormlightarchive/images/7/72/Axehound.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130527182008 I speculate it's because the Shin seem to be very similar to us, (not sure IF they actually have dogs but) I assume it's named after Shin dogs or 'Hounds'. Or someshit
  18. Charles Dance definitely for Straff Venture
  19. except Elendel's government doesn't slaughter people by the thousands for no reason. So really Kelsier had good reason to despise the government.
  20. Only issue with Mistborn was HoA was at times I get a little sick of listening to Sazed drone on about how empty he feels around the third book.
  21. why couldn't we get Hoid and Vin banter :c
  22. think she mentions she wears a brown dress and coat around the start of book two.
  23. I'm only asking how is it possible for him to heal faster then an explosion? Such as when
  24. this guy has my vision c:
  25. We seriously need atleast a small book with various stories with Hoid. Just him traveling around doing rust would be amazing.
