Unpopular Brandon Sanderson Opinions
Reckless Reader replied to not an Evil Librarian's topic in General Brandon Discussion
One of my favorite things about Sanderson books is that there are very few characters that can be easily defined as "evil". Yes, Moash is a jerk, but he was driven to it. Yes, Amaram is a liar and a hypocrite, but he is, in his own way, trying to save the world. TLR was trying to preserve humanity (and I do NOT agree with his methods, but he did give it a good shot). Honestly, I think the only characters that can be truly defined as classic villains are Ruin and Odium. Possibly all the Shards, since they are literally incapable of being anything other than their Intent. Everyone else is pretty much just a person with different goals. And the interaction and/or clashing of those goals is what causes conflict. -

Okay -- Odium, as a concept, is indeed pretty cool. So's Ruin. They have solid logic woven into their outlooks and provide an interesting look into what people would be like if they only had one aspect of a personality. -
Sanderson Characters alone in a room
Reckless Reader replied to Stormgate's topic in General Brandon Discussion
David and Syl... Would probably get along great and get nothing done. Tia and Jasnah... Wow that's scary. Jasnah on caffeine. Kelsier and Dusk. Wait, no. That should never happen. Lopen and Wayne... Utter chaos. -
I Love All Of Themmmmmmm But overall, I think SA has the richest worldboulding and most well-thought-out character development. It just weaves together really well.

...Do highspren have a sense of humor? That might go badly for the poor Skybreaker. Edit: Also, what is a Silent Gatherer? Is it from WoT or something? -
Made one. Unfortunately, not for sale. (It has half the Willshapers glyph on it!!!)

YKYASF when you're watching Attack on Titan (it's absorbing my soul) and EVERY TIME someone says "ODM gear" -- EVERY RUSTING TIME -- you think they said Odium. -

Reckless Reader replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
That reminds me of the time I saw a book called Night Blood and had a tiny panic attack. Also, the time I saw a graphic novel called Skyward. (And the grading system my school district uses is called Skyward too... ) -

I would be VERY concerned if the Doctor was half as... manipulative as Hoid I mean, you're right, but they have very different vibes. EDIT: Also! That reminded me of this... (Not sure where it's from, I found it on a Google search) -

Mine's sapphire too (Yay September buddies!) but I'm more of a Willshaper person (And kinda mad there isn't more about them). -

I once timed one of my (other) friends when she was reading a four-book series -- she finished them all in just over an hour. Decent sized books, too. -

My school doesn't use Kahoot often enough for me to really get a theme, but I've always wanted to play as "Hoid", win first place, and then never tell anyone it was me -
