    Brandon Sanderson was surprised at Narrator FT’s foresight, and invited him to work as his assistant.

    Jay sits up and eats a fistful of mud.

    Best part of the entire series, in my opinion, except for a few moments through the other books.

    Due to a horrific event in her past involving a toaster and plastic spork.

    I slip and fall into the river, and in my boredom, I lay there, sinking into the riverbed, the fish slipping by my body.

    One faction of the uprising branched out into boots.

    500 pages is nothing to me.

    Because the ghanderflaffle empire was rising.

    Alcatraz and Bastille
    This is awesome!

    ...but Oathbringer was about Dalinar.

    I’m honestly not sure why you’re still here. You’re consistently arguing in the hopes of converting devout Sanderfans to placing him in the same negative light you do. And you’re not using logic to do it, you’re attacking other people’s simple opinions because they don’t match up with their own. Did you just make an account on a fansite to complain? And to answer your question, I personally do think Renarin’s story will be special. He has a connection to Odium’s side through Glys that most other characters don’t—Shallan certainly doesn’t, whom you claim will steal all of Renarin’s originality. He’s an intermediary of sorts, though he leans much more towards the Radiant side. We won’t simply be seeing his “everyday struggles” when he becomes a main character in the back 5. I have no doubt he will play a very important role in the story, and until then, he doesn’t need to. We don’t see a whole lot of Renarin, but he’s very distinct from the other characters. Finally, every person’s struggle with mental illness is different. Shallan and Renarin also have distinct illnesses from one another; Shallan has PTSD, and Renarin is on the autism spectrum. I, for one, trust Sanderson to write an excellent story with him.

    I disagree with you in that he gave Shallan an excuse. It's not that she can't control her personas; it's that she slips into those other personas depending on her situation, acting as a comfort zone. She's still the one making decisions, no matter what persona she chooses. It's not an excuse to us readers, because we know she's trying to hide behind that. Also, her personas represent different facets of her personality, creating a more complex whole--for instance, Radiant is merely a facet, representing a royal archetype.

    They returned to their miserable lives of guarding the fourth wall, disappointed that they couldn't have had at least one happy moment in their lives.

    After seventeen whole minutes of staring at an empty stage, the audience became bored and left the theater.
  15. Jaywalk
    Because all plot, since the beginning, always revolved around Star.
  16. Jaywalk
    Bastille was heartbroken, and decided to drown her depression in drugs.

    And their marriage.

    He tried to fight back. Wow. Perfect Ninja.

    She punched him in the teeth.

    Once upon a time...

    Butt was the beginning and the end of TLT, the almighty ruler whom all bowed down to.
  22. Jaywalk
    When you can pinpoint that a person across a large room is reading Mistborn, just by a quick glance at the spine.
  23. Jaywalk
    I disagree, Lightbringer is excellent.

    The favorite contestant was...
  25. Jaywalk
    The Toll by Neal Shusterman. Already about halfway through, and it’s very, very good so far. Excellent payoff to the two previous books in the trilogy.
