NottTheBrave

Sonic isn't exactly a franchise I think about when I think of high quality video games. So to me, I fully expect a pretty bad movie. However, I also expect it to be a really fun bad movie. The trailer really sold me on seeing it, outside of nightmare fuel sonic, and that's being changed, so I'm looking forward to it.

Going to go ahead and jump in here to voice my displeasure as well. I can't get over how monumentally awful the resolution for Jaime and Cersei was. I don't think it could have been done any worse, outside of them lovingly sailing away to be a happy family. Euron was such a dud the entire series too, and the rushed nature of these past two seasons just exacerbates the issues with him. Not to mention, Yara just totally disappeared. The way everything unfolded with Dany was just a gut punch too. Not in the way they wanted either. Everything was so ridiculously easy, and it made her decision to burn it all seem utterly ridiculous. Mad Queen Dany isn't necessarily a bad thing (even if I find it trite and boring) but her going mad like this... boy howdy did it not work for me. I can't imagine the books ever coming close to being like the show, in fact I find it kind of impossible, so they aren't really ruined for me. The show on the other hand... it makes me so sad. The actors, the cinematography, the direction, the music... so much is being done at their A game to deliver some of the most tepid and poorly thought out episodes of television ever. It's heartbreaking in some ways.

You know, I actually have a hard time picking a favorite! The Way of Kings is one of those rare books where any time the perspective changed to a different characters PoV, I wasn't upset or annoyed. Each character offered me something different and captivating. I also enjoyed all the side characters. I recall not really enjoying a couple of the interludes, but that's such a small portion of the overall story that I couldn't knock it at all for them. If I had to pick any one character to hear more about, I'd love more Jasnah. Which, based just off the prologue of Words of Radiance, I'll be getting! Thanks for the welcome's everyone! I'll be sure to not accept any cookies...

Hey everyone! NottTheBrave here, or you can call me Hunter. Just earlier today I finished my first piece of marvelous fiction by Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings. I adored it. It took me nearly a year and a half to fully read due to many circumstances including having a pile of other books to read for college. Regardless, I persevered and finished it earlier today, and it really spoke to me. My dream since I was little has always been to be a storyteller. I've dealt with depression since I was young, and I've always had a voice telling me I couldn't do it. I felt like that voice was represented in Way of Kings through Kaladin's arc. I really connected to him, and no matter how the rest of the story goes (no spoilers) it's been a major inspiration to me. I'm still really fresh to the consmere, but I knew I had to join up and shout my love for the one book I've read to all who could hear it! I've already bought it for both my parents and convinced a friend to give it a try too. I'm really looking forward to talking, especially as I make my way through the other books, with all you cool people!
