  1. I am looking for a list of words David used in his profanity filter. I know Didgeridoo was one, but I know there was at least one other, maybe 2 more. Can anyone remind me what they were? thanks!

  3. His name is Blaine. It says it right at the end of calamity
  4. How did Obliteration recognize David when he was in disguise?
  5. Yeah... maybe. But we're the weaknesses given by Calamity? So wouldn't they go away once he goes away? Or is it more just the nightmares that were given by him? Or just the darkness?
  6. I decided to figure this out myself since I couldn't find it listed anywhere. This is what I've found: NY Times #1 Bestsellers Adult Fiction Hardcover Words of Radiance (Stormlight 2) #1 March 23, 2014 Towers of Midnight (WoT) #1 Nov 21, 2010 The Gathering Storm (WoT) #1 Nov 15, 2009 Memory of Light (WoT) #1 January 27, 2013 Young Adult Series Firefight (Reckoners 2) #1 in YA Series, January 25, 2015 Steelheart (Reckoners 1) #1 in YA Series, October 13, 2013 Calamity (Reckoners 3) #1 in YA Series, February 25, 2016 / March 6, 2016 (also Earlier in the week, the book hit #1 on the Audible bestseller list (for all titles, all genres) ) Top Ranking for other books: Adult Fiction Hardcover Shadows of Self (Mistborn 5) #8 October 18, 2015 The Bands of Mourning (Mistborn 6) #6 February 4, 2016 Alloy of Law (Misborn 4) #7 October 21, 2015 Way of Kings (Stormlight 1) #7 September 19, 2010 Warbreaker #24 June 28, 2009 Young Adult The Rithmatist, #6 YA, May 22, 2013 I don't believe there is a NYT Bestseller list for short stories, so that leaves out a number of them. Elantris was his first, before enough people knew him for a book of his to make it on the Bestseller list. I also don't see Alcatraz on any bestseller lists. That leaves the original three Mistborns. I don't think they made it to the best seller list either, but I have not been able to confirm. Can anyone else?
  7. Do the epics still have weaknesses after Calamity left?
  8. I've reread Steelheart, Mitosis and Firefight after reading Calamity, and I have my own list of questions now. Here they are: 1. In Firefight, Megan dies in a burning building, but still resurrects because she the fire itself did not kill her. However in Calamity, David worries that Megan will not resurrect when shot after putting her arm in fire. How is this different than the scenario in Firefight? What am I missing there? 2. In Firefight Obliteration has to teleport to Regalia whenever David moves so that he can use her water vision and her screens to find David again quickly. In Calamity, he can teleport to Calamity after just seeing a photo of Calamity's face. Is this a discrepancy? 3. Why did the dowser not show that David is an Epic when we know that he was? 4. How did Prof get his powers back after Larcener/Calamity took them away? 5. And regarding David's Epic powers, how did they not protect him at the end of Firefight, after he was made a Calamity? Most of this indicates that maybe we (I) don't really understand the nature of these powers. Can prof really pick up his powers after taking them away? Did Calamity really not actually fully take them away? Did he only take away his own corruption that he had given them? Can David choose when he manifests his powers? How are Epics made in post-Calamity time? I know this question is asked elsewhere, so I didn't put it as one of my questions, but how did Mizzy become an Epic? Did Calamity just grant the ability for people in the world to manifest powers, but not always grant specific people powers? And if he did grant powers to each person individually, doesn't that mean Prof and Megan would have had the same experience David did? We never hear about how existing Epics became Epics originally. (Oh, I guess that is a new question. So that makes this #6!)
  9. Did Limelight kill Dawslight at the end of the book? There are implications, but I don't think it never actually says.
  10. Does anyone know how many times Brandon has been on the NY Times bestseller list or where I can find this info? Even better would be if anyone knows when he peaked, at what number, and with which book. His website says he's been on it 6 times, but then it also talks about projects upcoming in 2013, so clearly it's *way* out of date!
