    Edit/ Just realised how this may look, both me and Vercent are new posters with similar names. I promise you we're different people.

    And we're not employed Graphic Audio at all!

    :D

  2. Hard question.
    I think the most intriguing one is awakening and colour from Warbreaker, I'm interested to see how other sentient items (like Nightblood) act.

    Spoilers for Mistborn below
     

    Spoiler

    Overall I'd say Mistborn, the idea of 16 metals, and 3 different implementations of those metals (Alo, Feru and Hema)  and then combinations within. The number of possible permutations and abilities are mind blowing and that's even before taking into consideration things such as 'Conservation of Momentum' that Wax does. 

     

  3. Hmm I like this idea, I agree with most of those choices, only changes (for me) would be: 

    Karen Gillan as Shallan, Natural red head and bringing some Scottish sass along with her.
    Adam Driver as Kaladin - I'd like to see him in a less whiny role, Kylo Ren is such a whiny little emo.
    I'm not certain with the choice for Adolin as I imagine him being larger of stature than Lucas Till

    Also what about John de Lancie (Q from Star Trek) as Sadeas? I think he would really bring a great layer of vitriolic spite to the role.

     

  4. Hi everyone,

    Just started posting here so figured I'd say hi.

    Hi, I've read all Cosmere books and The Reckoners series. Discovered Brandon when I found out he'd be completing The Wheel of Time. Been a huge fanboy ever since,

    More than willing to chat to anyone and to prove fanboy status here's a picture of my Szeth half sleeve (maybe quarter sleeve, it covers half my lower arm so that)

  5. This is not fan art as such (obvious Photoshop detail aside). It's cosplay, as indicated by the posters twitter name. 
    The lady portraying Syl is just a pretty lady, I guess she just didn't fancy strapping her boobs down as is her prerogative.

    OB Spoiler Below

    Spoiler

    Also in OB Syl is described as the 'Ancient Daughter', older of form but younger of mind as she slept for millennia after her first bond.
    Her outfits change depending on her flights of fancy at the time and when they enter Shadesmar she is a young woman. As to whether or not she is 'hot' I assume would just depend on the viewers perception beauty.

    Edit for spelling.

  6. I like to think of 'Nimi' as 'Mr' simply because it makes it so much funnier in my head to hear it as 'Mr Sword'.
    I doubt this would be the actual interpretation simply because I don't remember anyone in any of the books being referred to as 'mister'.

  7. I've listened to both WoK and WoR on Graphic Audio.
    These are essentially told like the radio plays of earlier decades.
    I will say that the characters when I read the books now have the GA voices.
    I think Dalinar and Syl are done perfectly, I actually enjoyed The Lopen, reminded on Michael Pena's character from 'Ant-Man'.
    I wasn't impressed by Navani who I think sounded too much like an old lady rather than the strong, Alethi matriarch she is in the books.
    Special mention to the Narrator, Dylan Lynch, he does the job perfectly.

    *** Small spoilers for WoK and WoR below  ***

    Chapter: He who Saves in WoR
    To hear Syl actually screaming at Kaladin and the Stormfather, then to suffer along with Kaladin and hear him speak the third Oath through tears and pain.
    It sends chills through you. I cannot recommend the Graphic Audio versions of these books enough.

    For me I've read WoK and WoR 3 times each and listened to the GA of both twice. I find the GA best for when multi-tasking as I already know the story and can listen with half an ear as it were.
    I do think the prices are a little high, however, you are paying for over a hundred hours of audio and voice actors time. I assume the background ambient sounds are all stock audio.
