Me too though he was kind of trapped by WoT - not being able to focus on his own books. And Shai making improvements to her room might be likened to Brandon stopping for side projects (working on something different to stay fresh). They both worried about living up to expectations, and worked themselves ridiculously hard to get it done well and quicker than seemed possible. Shai was chosen by people responsible(ish) for the Emperor, as Brandon was chosen by those responsible for WoT, because they were deemed to be able to pull it off. And they both were respectful of the work, not messing with it for their own personal gain (putting a backdoor in the stamp to manipulate the Emperor - changing things from what RJ wanted, or making more books with the characters/world after finishing the series) edit: i may be overthinking this

I didn't realise how often it's said in Reckoners. For some reason I thought it showed up in final empire, but I tried searching for mentions of it using google books, and turned up nothing for the original mistborn trilogy, but some for Wax and Wayne. I found it once in Alloy of Law and once in Shadows of Self.

Shai's experience recreating the Emperor's soul reminds me a lot of Brandon's experience finishing the Wheel of Time

I can relate

Has anyone else noticed how often characters say 'nice work' in Brandon's books? It's not too often, but I've noticed it come up at least once in several of his books (mistborn, reckoners). I kinda love it

My breath to yours, dormant topic! Maybe Edgli was resistant to Return people for a long time, but ~500 years ago the intent of the Endowment Shard moulded her cognitive aspect enough for its Intent to overwhelm Edgli original intent. Although, now that I think about it, since Warbreaker comes after the Mistborn trilogy this seems unlikely.

I have no problems on chrome

Spreadsheet with word counts and dates: Branderson cumulative word count 2017-04-04.xlsx Branderson is awesome. PS: sorry the text is a little small in the image Thanks for reading(/looking)!

That makes so much sense. Thank you. This has been nagging at me for about a year. I'm free!

It always seemed to me that allomancy should be the hybrid magic, as it seems to create, while feruchemy is neutral (it preserves). I love thinking of things like this as vectors PS: sorry for posting on a topic that's been dormant for a year

I am! (even though I haven't read any Alcatraz yet...)

Hi Telmond! Welcome to the Shard.

Your copy is an ebook, isn't it

Wow. That's super early. I feel like eventually, we'll get to the point where his books get optioned and get made. I really hope a Steelheart movie gets made one day, it would be so awesome.

Yeah, it's from the person who posted a chart over on Reddit showing Brandon's word count over time: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/3kwxga/a_chart_of_the_cumulative_word_count_of_brandon/ For some reason the spreadsheet is more up to date than the chart. I guess they're still updating it

Perhaps his original name was Destroyer, to inspire him because he was too placid. Wait no I have a better idea: Evilbreaker
