Yeah, the problem was just that the first few chapters was mostly just introductions and descriptions of the town. Not to say that that's not important, I just thought it was a tad too slow for my liking. Now that something's actually started happening, it's become a lot easier to read.

One chapter later, it picked up a lot, lol

Yeah, the one thing I know about the series is that there is one book later on where the only thing that happens in it is just people reacting to events in the previous book. Maybe part of the problem is that I'm reading a lot of faster paced books (Gentlemen Bastards, Hero, and Dresden Files notably), and I'm very taken in by the writing style of The Hobbit, so the slow start of Eye of the World along with it just having a standard writing style makes it comparatively harder to read when I could be reading any of those other books.

Well, I'm mostly talking about the first few chapters. I'm on, like, chapter 4.

And how about Eye of the World itself? How much would you say it picks up?

Is the Wheel of Time series always as slow as it is in the start, or does it pick up a lot later on? Because I'm having a sort of hard time really sitting down and reading it just due to how slow it feels.

I've heard a lot of good things about the three myself. I shall see if they live up to it, though I am going in with basically no expectations because I have no idea what it's even really about.

I finished Storm Front and started Fool Moon, as well as His Dark Materials Book 1: The Golden Compass.

So, Words of Radiance was originally going to be called the Book of Endless Pages. But why? The original Book of Endless Pages was an empty book, and it was probably destroyed on the boat in the start of the book. Why would it be named after a book that has little relevance and was more than likely destroyed?

I never noticed that. But I also do think that may be a tad bit of a stretch

The only foreshadowing I noticed was the Hero of Ages epigraphs in hindsight. After the reveal of Sazed being the Hero and the writer, I thought back on the epigraphs and realized that Vin wouldn't really say some of the stuff said in them, and that it's more how Sazed would act.

No. It likely won't happen until 2021.

Never actually read.

I like it because I think it's unique. I've never seen anything like it done before. Something that regular people consider eldritch abominations, hellbent on killing all of them, actually turning out to just be creatures who get annoyed at the constant buzzing and who legitimately don't realize that regular people aren't just mindless insects.

The wording never says it could give her immortality. He says specifically in that annotation that she can only change her appearance. When he mentions age, I imagine he means she can change her age to look X age, but she'll still be the same age. So even if she made herself look 7, she would still be 20 or 30 something.

I didn't even take any of the Wax and Wayne characters into consideration solely because it wasn't initially planned. That makes things a lot harder. MeLaan is the only one who really has any sort of chance. Though he might show descendants of one of theirs, and maybe make them important, which would be possible. I also wasn't specifically talking Mistborn, but extending it to the other series as well, most notably Stormlight. And yeah, I figure it's not likely to be much, but I feel like there will probably be at least a few others.

tbh, a big thing I'm wondering is how many current characters will still be around come Era 4. Obviously the likes of Hoid and Khriss are basically guaranteed, and Kelsier and Nightblood likely, and other undying characters like Vasher too potentially, but I'm wondering about the characters who are not undying as we know them and if they'll still be around in Era 4. I'm sure that he'll keep some characters around that aren't just the usual suspects, and he'll make some characters in his current works undying and maybe have them show up elsewhere.

Yeah, Era IV will most assuredly have that. Nightblood might also have it, if it explains how Nightblood got out of Vasher's hands and went to Roshar, which it probably will.

Same. Most of the time, when I see chapter names, it's typically foreshadowing only the chapter to come with no bigger meaning except in rare cases

That ending. My god. That book was incredible. My least favorite part of the ending is that Moriummer probably won't be a character in future books (unless Diones grow super fast, which they never said)

I'm not talking dark "breeding" in Warbreaker, I'm just saying it's the darkest in a sexual manner that I think he'll get, considering the start of the book.

I am hesitant to believe this theory only because I'm not sure if Samderson would go as far as time-diluted sexual slavery and grooming, especially making it an important part of the story . It strikes me as something that a lot of authors, Sanderson included, would never try. If Sanderson wrote dark fantasy, then maybe, but he doesn't. I think that Warbreaker is the darkest he's going to get in a sexual manner, because the breeding part still is unconfirmed.

Oh right, I forgot about that. I assumed that it wasn't related to any magic system. Wasn't it, like, a poison or something that made you look like that? I clearly need to reread Elantris.

Potions? Am I crazy, I remember nothing about this
