As TLH said, the double arrow buttons are "First Page" and "Last Page" and are separate buttons from "Prev" and "Next" which move one-page-at-a-time.

May I ask where you "turned on" notifications? I ask because, previously, people were unaware of the granular Notification settings (Account > Account Settings > Notification Settings). Screenshot: So there should be an entry for each type of event, and they can be closed independantly. So, if you only turned on "allow puch notifications" than these filters not apply, and you would need to set the behaviour for each item in the list (there should be seven). Hope that helps.

Welcome to the Shard. Thank you for the Intro Post to let us know what you have-not yet read. Please consider checking out the Sharder FAQ for some useful forum info and tips. The problem with this, as I see it, is how many unknown are involved: We know that Nicrosil in a medallion stores powers, not just raw investiture We know Medallions are similar to a Soulbearer but not the same We do not know if a soul bearer is storing just their own personal investiture or not We know the needle technique shown in TLM is stealing personal investiture, not Misting or Ferring abilities We do not know if that is the only thing it can steal We know that A-Nicrosil and A-Chomium can affect Feruchemy It is implied, but not confirmed that it would only affect what is being tapped from the metalmind - it does not add what is stored int he metalmind e. g. A steelrunner tapping F-Steel that is Nicrobursted, would use all of the remaining storage in the metalmind being tapped, not gain more "stored speed"' investiture There does not seem to be a way to prove or disprove this until we get Ghostbloods and more information on how Medallions, Nicrosil-in-general, and Bursting/draining metalminds works. WoBs: Hope that helps

First, Hoid does not consider it a curse: Second, if hitting himself with a rock would not cause injury then he would have no problem doing so (he is very hard to injure) - which is why he needed soembody to knock out his tooth for him - that was definitively an "injury," not just a comedic sight gag like the rock incident. Unlikely - not just because that stretches the concept of identity to breaking, but because Hoid would not want to do such a thing. Sunlit Man has much more info on the quandries this "curse" can cause. Hope that helps

James Patterson. . . I can only comment on the ones I have read BLUF: Patterson, like Clancy, has mostly become a "Brand" and most of the recent titles with his name are written by the co-author (Patterson helps brainstorm the story, and sometimes outline) - which is when I stopped reading most of his work (with some exceptions); partly from quality and partly from volume (so many new books per year was not worth it to me). Women's Murder Club: Michael Bennett: Private: Maximum Ride (YA): Witch and Wizard (YA): Zoo: Hope that helps

I loved the Alex Cross series, at least the first dozen or so. I think the last one I read was Cross My Heart (book 21) but I may have missed a few between Double Cross and that one

Concur that is most likely - I just wanted to off other alternatives as well, because it certainly is not confirmed.

Keep in mind that Connection does not necessarily mean Bond. For example, when Syl imitates Shallan in WoR before either she or Kal had even met Shallan yet. That was Connection echoing forward before the precipitating event. Just the fact that Urithiru has become Kaladin's home and that during RoW he is fighting to protect Sibling and repeatedly touches Towerlight in the Garnet veins could be enough Connection for a similar echo (the song before the talk). If it was Stone, it could just be Stone helping to facilitate. WaT:

Kaladin clarifies shortly thereafter - RoW Ch 100: My guess is that either:

Sorry I misunderstood. I do not think it was that precise. (spoilers) At least, that was my take on it. Hope that helps

@KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren I do not think . . . Hope that helps

Do you mean Bad Movies that know they are bad movies, or bad movies that think they are good movies. Example: Lucinda's Spell - truly terrible movie; but it does not pretend otherwise (so, useful for a bad-movie-MST3K night with friends and libations).

All except for White Sand, which is a preview of the Prose (non-canon unpublished, please see White Sand Versions) and a short preview of the Graphic novel (canon) version Note - the Preview if of the original three-volume GN, but the Omnibus is the current (corrected) Canon version. As above, all of the needed info for White Sand is at that link. Including alternate reading methods for those that do not like Graphic Novels (but I do recommend the Omnibus, if just for the visual Ars Arcanum).

Only you get to chose the right answer for yourself - it's your Journey before Destination. The only one I would worry about is Mistborn: Secret History. Though, if I am understanding your Intro Post correctly, you have already read The Lost Metal? So the reveal has already happened for you (Rhythm of War and The Lost Metal both reveal the same information, so it's personal preference which you want to read first for the reveal); but M:SH has a bit of Elantris references, so I would recommend it after Elantris (and Hope of Elantris, if you are reading both).

Just added one last test for Chaos: Please reply if you were notified by an edit-in mention without a quote box involved. Have a great day/evening/holiday

@Usseewa Without a quote, does the at Mention notification come through? As far as I know, the only time two separate notifications happen for one event is when a post is both liked and quoted - otherwise the system will not "double-event" when a post has both a quote and an @ mention. But that was why I wanted to test the mention after you had already "recevied" the quote notification in case the notification's status as read/unread made a difference. Edit - to add @Chaos to the conversation as a test for: Please reply if you were notified by an edit-in mention without a quote box involved.

Please see This This was the conclusion of our testing:

Testing the Quote (respond if you received the quote notification) @Usseewa Edit: This is where I tested notifications (Jan 2023) with the Mods. (respond or update your response if you receive a notification for the edited @ ping.

Slight correction - the Inquisitors believed that you needed to spike a donor through the heart to steal an ability. They did not understand much - HoA Epigraph to Ch 44:

There is a post about Reading order here. The focus is less about any "correct order" (I do not think such a thing exists) and more about making informed decisions, so the post details which books contain references from other books. Based on what you have read so far: The Emperor's' Soul, Warbreaker, and Elantris have the most connections to what you have read and are about to read: Another tool for finding connections (be careful, it is easy to spoiler youself accidentally) is the Shard Github (use the legend on the right to turn books, series, and connection levels on or off to see how they are connected. Hope that helps

Because the investiture cycle was set to send expended investiture back to the Cognitive instead of the Spiritual so that the Shards could not reform as the Investiture cycle moved their power back into the SR.

Shards do not have access to information. . . Vessels have access to information because they now exist in the Spiritual Realm. The Dor does not currently have a vessel.

The Princess Bride. I don't really care for the movie (not my type of humour) and I still think it is orders of magnitude better than the book. Hunger Games (first Trilogy), to me, was also improved by adaptation. Otherwise, concur. It is very rare for an adaptation to be comparably good (The Martian, Fight Club, Jurassic Park like Highlander, there should have been only one) much less actually better. I fully expect a flop, but since I won't be watching it I only care as much as it impacts the book release schedule.

Sure, but now you are using Fabrials. It may be a Fabrial constructed by AonDor, but it is still a Fabrial that can only do X (sometimes X, Y and Z) - which also just reinforces my point. AonDor is very flexible and powerful - with the limitation that it takes education, practice, and planning. Sure you can pre-build an Aon Daa braclet that may be able to make an attack like was used in the climax whenever the Elantrian touches and activates it. Just first source the materials, use Shai-like skill to correctly etch all of the Aons and modifiers required to produce the effect you want and, eventually, you will have a tool that is combat capable. (Mistborn Spoilers) Please do not get me wrong, I love AonDor. It is my favorite MoI (with Awakening a close second and Feruchemy third) - I was merely trying to point out that Sanderson did give AonDor Limitations - they are just different limitations than the kind of thing that restricts other MoIs.

We aren't that lucky
