Snorkel

They got a LOT more acclivity rings between books, leading to more ships and more pilots being recruited. That battle at the end of the other book, it also involved a large piece of debris that had hundreds of rings on it.

I'm only a quarter of the way through the book ... but I'm imagining Jeffrey Combs as Winzik and it's scudding amazing. What have you guys got?

Obviously!

I just re-read Defending Elysium, and yes. So much yes.

Don't forget it's the rough draft. He'll take about the same amount of time again for polishing drafts.

Skyward: Scud, scudding, scudface! blessings: Stars guard you The Saints and the North Star watch us this day Stars accept their souls Saints' own speed pilot Stars guide you more cusses: For the North Star's sake ... What in the North Star's light is happening here?

Happens to me ALL THE TIME. I had a great idea for a board game. A week later someone showed me a new board game, and almost all of the locations were identical to the locations for my board game. Gah!

Correction: Shadows for Silence is "Shadows!" also some "dammit"

"Days", "Days alight", "Days afire" - Grands, The Emperor's Soul (nice contrast to the "Nights" and "Nights afire" that the main character uses)

He could totally live to his 90s

I would be surprised if the last Stormlight isn't out before the last SOIAF.

From the annotations: We learn that can change his appearance dramatically, and especially the length of his facial hair. So I believe that those with Royal Locks can prevent hair growth and body hair growth if they wish ... but they might not know that's within their powers.

The wait is incredibly short compared with most of the authors I've followed over the years.

I think we were supposed to be seriously considering the possibility.

Here's a threnody I studied in school!

She could hide it in the bathrooms during the day, and return there during the night to take it back to the bedchamber. Edit: nope, they'd probably use chamber pots or similar, and would deny her request to go to a toilet in the middle of the night, what kind of royalty would do that?

I found one*! Chapter 23 "It is nothing Your Grace," Llarimar finally said. "This is just a very uncharacteristic of you." <- extraneous word "a" *actually I found four, but when I checked the online version, three of them had been fixed (versus my Kobo store paid version where they're not )

"I am a stick" Stick wins all debates.

I'd suggest Warbreaker before Stormlight. Edgedancer and the Mistborn/Elantris short stories obviously should be read in the correct order with the corresponding novels. Other than that, whichever story she feels most drawn to next.

I'm mixed on Earthsea. I liked the first book. The second book - Tombs of Atuan - is one of my favourite books ever. (for the OP - they are short children's fantasy) The third book I really disliked (the afterlife stuff was depressing). Book 4 - Tehanu was a very different to the first three, but I enjoyed it. Then the last book The Other Wind... I liked that she tried to fix the depressing stuff from book 3 (I understand she became a taoist, and wanted to add something of that outlook to her writing). She also went a long way to have this book be all about the strong female cast (yay) in a series that had previously been mostly about the men ... but I remember being very sad with the way she treated Ged in order to boost the new characters.

Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicles is amazing. The only downside is the third and final book is taking a while. But the first two books are superb.
