If we want people to believe Denth is the good guy until late on (btw I think the movie would need to be in 2 parts, part 1 ending with Vivienna escaping from Denth once we discover he's the bad guy), a good way of selling this and capturing his charisma would be to cast Dwayne the Rock Johnson

Vasher - Naveen Andrews

I like the whole cast to be honest. But Nightblood steals the show.

This is the best I can find - "“Now!” Vivenna snapped, hair tingeing red at the tips" Though it can also turn almost instantly, the way it is written at points

I was rereading it recently and I'm not certain but I think the text alludes to the colour going from root to tip actually

ACtually, reading above, Oscar Isaac is a brilliant Lightsong

I'd quite like new actresses for Vivenna and Siri, but if not: Vivenna - Jessica Brown Findlay Siri - Eleanor Tomlinson (though both would be Dawson's Casting...) Otherwise: Vasher - Richard Armitage Lightsong - Sebastien Stan Blushweaver - Gemma Arterton Denth - Chiwetel Ejiofor Endowment - Clare Foy

I was watching this youtube video about colour in films, and it made me think how amazing the visual story telling and cinematography in a Warbreaker film could be!

The other thing to bear in mind is that due to hubris and complacency, demonstrably TLR DOESN'T always come out on top... he should, but his personality is part of the bundle, and we know that he has been sloppy enough before to allow those with the means to kill him, so I think Susebron would get one chance to one-shot him

On the Nightblood front, if Susebron could make Nightblood (which I severely doubt he has the actual knowledge to do, raw power be damned), he wouldn't need to hit TLR with it. Just leave it unsheathed and TLR could be in trouble, as I'm not sure he would be pure of heart enough to resist it.

We know that well used Tin can be used to defeat an unsuspecting Seer, canonically: the ability to read the Seer and thus do that more reproducibly would be increased with Compounded senses, so I actually think Compounded Tin is an underrated ability. You wouldn't be able to tell the future but you would have unprecedented insight into the present, and we know that the future remains changeable, despite Atium

Gaiman, arguably, best known for American Gods. The Sandman, though not a book, is just better in every respect (mind you, American Gods IS a brilliant novel nonetheless, The Sandman is just one of the pinnacles of fiction in any form.). Also his short story work is better than his novels.

China Mieville, I think, is better known for the Bas-Lag books. But The City and The City is his (short) masterpiece

They are just being saved up. Don't want Brandon to use all his cards in the 3rd book!

But within the LR's world, whilst he lived, nobody knew about the bracers! That was a plot point

The latter I adore, because it may well have been the ONLY thing to give Kaladin some faith in people again, the perfect mirror of what happened with Amaram

I'd second a bunch mentioned here but here are a few underappreciated ones in my opinion: Words of Radiance: Well of Ascension The Final Empire

Moash has given up his identity hasn't he? He's given up all responsibility and with that his name.

Out of interest, why did you think she could surgebind at all? I'm pretty sure she never overtly does anything attributable to surgebinding or implicative that she would have a living Spren. She does some prep that readers of Warbreaker will know are implicative of intent to Awaken, but we never see her use any of her powers at all on screen, nor is it implied that any other characters have seen her do so off screen...

Share Play/Pause Questioner [PENDING REVIEW] Why so many characters from Warbreaker [in Stormlight]? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] 'Cause Warbreaker is a prequel to Stormlight. I wrote Stormlight first, and then I actually went and wrote Warbreaker about Kaladin's swordmaster, but then that portion of Stormlight didn't get published, and this one did, but they're very interconnected to me.

Basically I see one of the most key points in SA as the comparison between different ethics systems and the exploration of what moral means. I agree in so far as the Windrunner's, as well as their (simplistic) promise based system, seem to have a deontological approach. The Skybreakers treat law as paramount. Inkspren seem to be interested in the fundamentals of being, inherent truths if you like, which will be interesting to see but kind of fits Virtue ethics a bit, in a different and more logic based way than Honorspren. Lightweavers focus on Truth. There seems to be an aspect of charity with Edgedancers. In a way, these Spren based ethics all seem quite deontological in very different variants. Amaram is far more interested in consequences, as is Mr T. I don't know if that is a deliberate rift or not. I think it would be a bit sad to see all non-values based ethics like Utilitarianism and existentialism seen as purely bad, and I expect that won't be the case.

It does mean one thing - if Nin ever realises it, he has no need to continue to follow Parshendi laws. He is beholden, according to his Oath, to nobody

Also, and I've never asked myself this before, how much did Shallan's father know about where the Shardblade came from and what Shallan was?

I'm fairly sure that it's acknowledged in WoR that Pattern was only locked away in so far as Shallan believed he was and then he was by trauma (ie Shallan herself locked him away). H=She could have hypothetically summoned him wherever her father put him, physically locking him away was pointless and an act of panic and misunderstanding
