Solant

I still have my theory about Aesudan. I won't go into it to save from being redundant, but it's in the other thread if anyone is interested. I don't have any real evidence to back it up, she just feels suspicious to me.

I haven't yet. The bigger cosmere story is what drew me in, but I'm sure I'll get around to it. I did read Snapshot when it came out and I enjoyed it.

I agree it's predictable, and we certainly have enough organizations of unknown or questionable intent on the board right now. I mostly just meant that I don't believe she is working on her own. The question becomes who would stand to gain the most by causing civil unrest in the kingdom's capital

I don't know. As soon as Navani is said to have left to return to the Shattered Plains, having decided Aesudan a capable ruler without her council, everything we have heard about Aesudan goes beyond simple negligence. I can't pin point exactly why but something screams outside influence to me. Maybe I just have a hard time believing someone used to ruling could screw up that badly this quickly by accident.

It's so hard to decide on a favorite! I really liked the first Mistborn for the heist/ensemble in a fantasy setting. For me, it also had the widest range of likable characters and that helps with immersion. I can picture myself hanging out with these people, plotting that next heist! Part of me wants to say SA just for sheer epicness, but that's probably because I'm in the middle of a re-read keeping it all fresh for when OB comes out. For straight reading enjoyment I'm leaning towards era 2 Mistborn. I like the Wax/Wayne dynamic allot. Favorite magic system is Allomancy/feruchemy. All the potential in all of those possible combinations is fun to think about.

Hey folks, name is Solant. I enjoy Ryshadium riding, romantic sphere-lit dinners, and long walks on the Shattered Plains. My Calling is ale tasting, and my Glory is slacking. A few years ago, a friend of mine told me some guy was picked up to finish the Wheel of Time. I rolled my eyes as he told me how great they were. In the end, however, being 11 books and 20+ years invested in the story I decided to go ahead and see it through 'til the end. Boy, was I happy to be proven wrong. I quickly devoured those, and proceeded in going way down the rabbit hole of all things Cosmere. After plowing through the whole collection, I spent weeks looking through the Coppermind, the interview database and this forum looking through all the theories and behind the scenes tidbits, amazed at how much of the greater story lies in what the narrative skirts around but never actually reveals. So here I am. I've been lurking for awhile now, but I feel like I understand enough to get involved in the conversation. I look forward to discussing all kinds of weird theories with you! Oh, and I don't eat cookies. They taste terrible with Horneater ale.

Is it really that far-fetched, or has this been debunked?
