  1. Guess I'm not meant to be any of them, as my highest was stoneward at 25%. The others all had around 10%. I think I'll stick to the other systems of the cosmere.
  2. If you have time to enjoy a long, detailed book I'd say the Stormlight archives. For a shorter, but just as enjoyable experience, I'd recommend Mistborn.
  3. Finish all the Ender/Bean books. I loved them and Orson Scott Card is also a great author. Which of Brandon Sandersons novels have you read so far?
  4. Well, we can agree on that. I can see your point, I'd make a few rebuttals, but I don't actually own a copy of the books and it's been too long for me to accurately remember what I'm trying to say.
  5. I disagree. I never liked Cassius, he was arrogant, selfish, and he had many chances to change and didn't take them. For the same reason I didn't like Roque. Roque was supposed to be the more progressive reformer that wanted a good world, and his reaction to Darrow being a red doesn't show that. However, the power of the series comes from the pure awesomeness of the conquering institute, reaping scythe, and pretty much whatever Darrow does. I was impressed with the feelings and thoughts that reading those scenes provoked.
  6. No, I get you. But what really makes me love a character is when I can relate/imagine myself as the character. Characters that are willing to be sarcastic, willing to kill, willing to do the right thing or the wrong thing for the right reasons. I can kind of see why someone would like Titus, but as a rapist/murderer, he's not someone I really relate to or would want to be. Does that make sense?
  7. I loved these books! I have to say though, I really differ on taste with you guys. I really only thought the first book was especially praiseworthy, and Titus only ever would have made it onto top ten least favorite characters. I loved the idea of the war game institute and I've always loved books that have that sci-fi personality/intelligence tests.
  8. Well I finally ordered Elantris as my library doesn't have it. Just 4-17 business days till I can read it. Is there anything worse than spending fall break without a good book? Feel free to talk about any books you are or were waiting for.
  9. I'm not sure that ONLY reading Brandon Sanderson would work for me, but if I had to choose he wouldn't be the worst choice. Welcome! also, if you have further questions/posts feel free to ask them in the proper forum.
  10. I personally preferred Ender's Shadow. I really hope he gets around to Shadows Alive so we can conclude both series.
  11. What is this about a new version?
  12. Intuitively understands all necessary background information and motives to what he sees. Super dexterity cheesy name: Context weakness: (excluding epics) people with mental disabilities or insanity. (Because the context of their actions lack logic) driven to rage by people who's actions don't make sense (especially as that can lead to his weakness) costume is a finely tailored dark blue/grey suit.
  13. So my question is in the first section where Szeth kills gavilar. It mentions he takes care not to be hit by the shard blade because even the tempest he holds cannot revive wounds inflicted by shardblade. However, Kaladin heals his (arm?) after it was sliced through and his soul severed from it. Is it because Kaladin is bonded to a Spren? Or had he never tried it?
  14. Agreed, I'm hoping we have a chromium ferring in the next trilogy so we have a bigger reference for what these powers look like. Did Brandon already announce a Nicrosil Ferring as the character? Or am I dreaming that?
