Cracknut

Same here except I dropped it after reading 1/2 of first book. Hunger Games was better, at least first book.

Nicomo Cosca as well... till Red Country. Bremer dan Gorst one of my favorites as well(one with huge swords and funny voice), he's like my extreme version in a way And Cracknut Whirrun of course

I can see why so many people here share dislike for less heroic fantasy authors as most of us are Sanderson's hardcore fans and he is best(I mean it) at epic/heroic fantasy genre. His worlds and magic systems are above anything I've read, scope is as epic as it gets and even Malazan got nothing on it if you consider whole Cosmere but he got some serious flaws. Everyone got them and there are no perfect authors. Why would anyone compare First Law to Stormlight Archieve is beyond me. Yes for me BS is best high/epic/heroic fantasy author out there but guess what, Joe Abercrombie is best too, except at low fantasy. You dislike low fantasy? Then of course he's not for you. You dislike heroic fantasy? Then you'll never enjoy Brandon's books. I love both because they are so different and I get bored if I keep reading same stuff over and over again. I prefer Abercrombies characters over Sanderson's(Not all of them though) because they are more real and interesting to me but again if you can't handle anti-heroic main characters and have a need of a hero in a shining armor saving world in every book you read then of course you'll prefer Sanderson's characters. This post most likely will end up getting lots of hate if anyone reads it but I can't take Abercrombie/GRRM fans who hate Sanderson for his heroic characters/stories and same goes for Sandersons fans hating on Abercrombie/GRRM for anti-heroic characters/stories.

I don't see how could BS ruin Abercrombie for anyone. Those two are writing totally different stuff and their books can't be compared but as in High Fantasy books, BS tends to do that.

You mean one of three 17thsharders?

Not sure anymore but I too always thought ideals were what Gavilar meant but it's too easy at this point :| Maybe he will find those words in his own book... Gavilar wasn't Radiant, wouldn't he show his abilities before death? He would be more prepared for Szeth if he was on whole KR business and he would've survived the fall. It is still possible that he had Spren but I doubt it...

Didn't like K much even though I watched it in a single night. Not my stuff... GTO anyone?

Renarin in Shardplate = Alphonse :D

It's impossible to have a single story arc with time-skip or something? I'm happy with time-skip simply because I can't see how these newbie Radiants would stand against Odium when old ones barely could even with Heralds, their knowledge and generations of KR. And as far as I know this series isn't about getting another Oathpact cycle going on, good guys have to stop Odium forever. I would be more disappointed if they accomplished it on their first try and it took them less than a decade while much more developed people of Roshar fought it for millenias and failed. Btw Malazan had a lot of time skips. Most likely you're just forgetting them because books were more episodic and there wasn't any major time-skips after GotM timeline. Remember Karsa and Trull Sengar. Whole Midnight Tides book was set 10(5? 20? not sure) years before main story, so you could say that every single book in series was set after time-skip between Midnight Tides and main story. Karsa has a same kind of time-skip. And I can't remember more but there are a lot of little things you could call time-skips but simply because Malzan got so much story going on at the same time and very untidy timeliness makes it look like it has none. If story was written in a chronological way it would've been more obvious.

Ruin, Odium and other negative Shards would be challenging. My laziness versus their desire to destroy the world. Harmony would be fun as well.

Centuries would make sense if they fail to save the world this Desolation but humanity somehow survives and new characters take up Oathpact go to Damnation and come back after 400-500 years. This is unlikely but considering how much we got in second book if Sanderson is going to keep this up nobody knows where we'll be after 5 books. Characters already found Urithiru, became KR and fought against Voidbringers. 8 more books without some major plot twist would be impossible at this point.

If I'm remembering correctly Elantris is set 400 years before Mistborn Trilogy and TLR did all the changes 1000 years before Mistborn Trilogy. Reod happened 10 years(?) before Elantris main story. But I might be wrong on those timeliness...

And that I count as a + for Shaladin, because Syltern would be "cute". If Shalladin actually happens Syl and Pattern will have to just take it and that's all to it. There will be some complaining at first but nothing else. I doubt they would unbound simply because that would've been very uncool and Spren are cool. So I don't see Spren as an obstacle for relationships between different orders. BUT there is one very important thing, Spren share same ideals as Radiants they're bound to. Cryptics and Honorspren don't like each other because they're too different. Cryptics lie, disguise, etc and that's not really honorary way of doing things. Sha;lan lies a lot, while Kaladin is all about honor. So if they won't end up together its not because their Spren hate each other, but because Shallan and Kaladin are not compatible. On the other hand Syl would be a problem with Veiladin, because as far as we know she's very bad girl and it would've had same effect on Syl as when Kaladin was letting Diagram kill Elhokar. But as I said before, 10 books = anything can happen. Veil might be anyone and she might turn into anyone. It won't be happening soon though. Although I don't see Shallan's lies affecting her relationship with Kaladin as much as with Adolin. She told him her story if nothing else. I feel sorry for Adolin (

There are 10 books in series, I'm sure we'll be getting some relationships between characters from different factions. Most of Cosmere books have those and there will be lots of characters changing factions before we get to conclusion. I'm for Jasnadin but anything can happen...

Shallan+Adolin+Renarin would've been more like Navani+Dalinar+Gavilar but Renarin got creep-zoned and now she's ruining my Jasnah+Kaladin ship :angryfanboygonefangirlingandstuff: Welcome btw Have you read Brandons other adult novels?

Still regretting watching Mirai Nikki. It has interesting twists but and story so you keep watching it because you want to know whats up but ending wasn't worth it imo. Accel World wasn't my thing from the beginning :| I too haven't watched Cowboy Bebop even though I know I'll love it, just keep forgetting it when I'm into anime watching mood Bleach had an awesome beginning, then it started doing same over and over again with more fights and less story every time and I stopped watching it when Kill la Kill is masterpiece, just because it's done by same people as TTGL btw am I the only one who sees similarities between TTGL and Mistborn?

There is a difference between bad person and bad king. He's obviously a good guy but he is a bad king. He needs to remind people of his status. He has no real power. Nobody respects him as a king. He can't lead and he has a ideology of a child. He knows that he's bad at it and wants to be better but if wanting and trying aren't enough.

Assassination month ago/after etc was just Amaram lying. He had only one sword which he took from Kaladin and Helaran actually was there to assassinate Amaram so it's a nice lie. Second sword he got from Dalinar, who wanted to check whether or not Amaram would lie to him, which he did. Dalinar had already bonded that sword and reclaimed easily by summoning it. Good point with them being opposites. I seriously doubt Shallan will end up with Kaladin or Adolin. I'm expecting something more special on romance side of story. Adolin and Shalan is never happening as far as I know. Only thing that attracts her to Adolin is his looks and she's been lying/manipulating him ever since they met. Kaladin and Shallan are too obvious to be true and I don't see them together for a long time.

Its obviously one of three gods on Roshar. Honor is shattered but I don't see him reigning so it should be Odium.

I always thought Jasnah and Kal would end up together. Age doesn't matters, especially if they end up being immortal... or die like other characters from another series. Shallan will either end up with Renarin or Lopen. But I believe Rock is a serious candidate for her too:

He is a horrible king, because he didn't do anything. Even if he tried to live up to your understanding of "Horrible King" he would've ended up dead. Highprinces would kill him and even Dalinar wouldn't defend him at that point. Actually if Dalinar wanted him turned into that kind of king, he would've done it easily. I'll rather have a tyrant king who kills his own people for fun than someone who doesn't understands whats he's doing and follows someones advises without consideration.
