    Now if she REALLY wants to make some stormlight, she just needs to drink a few cans of soda.  Lots of sugar means lots of investure super fast!  Maybe convert Horneater lager into soda?  Horneater peak dew?

    Ha yes, this will be a hit in roshar.  but how rock would say it "this thing good but need shells".^_^^_^

    Same, though I can see what @Ironeyes is saying. It's like Cersei or Joffrey from the Tunes of Frost and Flame, characters who you love to loathe or loathe to loathe. (Or Cadsuane from WoT for me... though not in the same league)

    The difference for me is that while Sadeas is a cremling, Umbridge is so much more SMUG than Sadeas. Sadeas gets his moments and trolls Adolin openly in WoR, but with Umbridge it oooooooooozes from every pore, every moment she's in the scene. We also never get any viewpoints from Umbridge, so we don't get to see anything from her perspective, any reason for her personality and way of thinking. We just see that she's a toad who's the epitome of smug, condescending Hippogriff droppings, the way adults can seem to be to children/teenagers and even some adults.

    By contrast we see things from Sadeas, we see his internal struggles and reasonings, his thinking patterns, albeit briefly, humanising him a bit more. This to me is why he's not quite on the same level of character hatred that brings people to the point of cheering when the comeuppance for a character is implied to be offscreen centaur gang-rape.

    ha ha ha yes!

    Whenever they mention spicy curries in Stormlight I imagine them sort of as my favorite spicy curry from Thailand.

    So, I'm gonna say Rosharan/Alethi(?) curry, whatever that actually means. But I guess I wouldn't be allowed to eat it since it's man-food in Vorin lands.

    I made the spicy curries once and it was a success but when I tried to make feminine food I failed

  25. mistborn or stormlight archive which one?

    I think you are exceedingly cruel for making us chose between those^^

     

    I think its like chosing between

    a)

    a premium Pizza (any brand or restaurant that you have an emotional attachment to) with all your favorite toppings (mistborn) and

    [For me, Mistborn was the first epic i read after a long period of basically reading nothing, so it is dearer to me than most other works.]

    B)

    Grandmas " i love my grandkids so i worked for 2 days and used half my pension on this " sunday dinner ( Stormlight, i guess). 

     

     

    Chosing is difficult, i think it depends on what you value most:

    Writing: Stormlight, although the margin is razor thin.

    Main Characters: Mistborn. More diverse, and more complicated. And with more wit. Shallan is the exception here, as i find her much more interesting than vin.

    Side Characters: The sheer number of them gives Stormlight an unfair advantage :P. On the Mistborn side, Me'lan and Steris (as of Bands of Mourning) stand out.

    Scope: It feels like its Stormlight, although objectively it isnt. There is an actual apotheosis happening on Scadrial after all.

    Combat: About equal. Mistborn has a slight edge here. Gritty, Up close and personal, and steel/iron makes better mind-movie-material. But thats just me.

    Magic System/Innovation: Stormlight. There is just more to work with here, more to discover. Roshar is a much bigger canvas and its full of novel surprises. Maybe that is deliberate though, since Scadrial is intentionally earth-like.Surgebinding is screaming cool, allomancy is more subdued.

    Romance: About equal, but its too soon to say. Best examples of both: Wax/Steris was handled very well. ( Vin/Elend was... blander than i would have liked, to be honest.)

    For my reading of Stormlight the definitive romance scene was Kal and Shallan surviving the Highstorm together.

    Disorganizer out

    Ha well i just was thinking between those which one was peoples favorite.
