I Hope I could make it as an Edgdancer! It sounds demanding though. 

Welcome! Can't say I've heard of Brent Week before. What's he write?

Welcome! We are pleased to have you!

I bet you'll like Wax and Wayne when you get around to it. Good reading! Don't forget Warbreaker and Alantris!

I really like 'rhythms of war' as a tittle. We were always mostly sure that a Listener flashback book would be called 'rhythms of something'.  

Good to hear such a reactions from Mistborn! In my opinion Stormlight Archive is better but not my a lot and if you love Mistborn so much you will really love WoK. 

Hello and welcome! WoK is also my favorite on the books. Who is your least favorite character in the Cosmere? 

Glad to have you, who is your favorite character? 

Welcome to shard! Who's you favorite or least favorite character? 

I would assume that you would be wearing whatever clothes you typically imagine yourself in. When Kelseir tries to take apart his cloths to use them for writing material the threads he pulls out keep disappearing, if memory serves Fuzz explains that his clothing is an extension of his mental image of himself. 

New question, what would your cognitive shadow be wearing? I would definitely be in jeans and a Te-shirt from my Dojo.  

I expect the lack on interludes between pats four and five helps the flow. I love the interludes but it would feel a bit clunky to have three little side stories right in between the climax and the wrap up stage. We wouldn't be able to give the interludes the investment they deserved and when we got back to the main plot the momentum would have been diminished.

I'm honestly shocked that dead brothers didn't make it into the 'tropes Brandon overuses' episode on shard cast. I'm waiting for the Szeth flashbacks, assuming they ever happen, to reveal weather or not he has a dead brother, if he does I will die laughing.   

Has anyone else noticed how many dead brothers there are in the comer? Every one of the Stormlight archive flashback characters so far has a dead brother, plus Vin.

I can't say that other epic fantasies don't have dead brothers in them but it still seams to be one of Brandons favorite devises. Honestly one on the things I like about the upcoming Venli flashbacks is the presence of a dead sister for a change. 

Glad to have you Lady Gray! Tell us, have you ever been reading along in a nice epic fantasy and someone mentions a suspicious beggar and then your like "hay, I found Hoid!" but then you realize the book you're reading isn't even by Brandon. 

If the answer is yes then you are officially one of us! 

Thank you.  

The reason why I always liked Eshonai more then Venli is that I tend to get attached to warrior character easier then I do to scholarly or intellectual character. Of course during the time that the flashbacks will be taking place Eshonai wouldn't have even been a warrior but an explorer. On the whole I would have preferred Estonia but having dead flashback character always seamed like a whacky idea to me. Whatever ends up happening I am confident in Brandon and team Sanderson to stick the landing. 

Also, I'm always down for some Cosmere secrets, give me all of the Comer secrets!!! 

Hello all! I've been stalking the Shard cloaked in darkness for over a year now, but today I finally step into the light! Enough chit chat, lets get down to business. 

I've read the entire Cosmere, plus just about everything else Brandon has given us so far. My favorite character is Kaladin, and by that I mean favorite character in anything, ever. The book I'm looking forward to the most at the moment is probably The Lost Metal. Don't get me wrong, Starlight is my favorite, but the Wax and Wayne ark is so close to being wrapped up I just really want it to be given the climax and ending it deserves as soon as posable.

My number one prediction for The Lost Metal is... well yeah, I'm a sucker for the Wayne becomes a Kandra theory. I'm not saying he should be a huge presence in every Mistborn book to follow for the rest of eternity, I just think it would be a cool wrap up for his ark. He could spend hundreds of years helping out the little guys, a way to atone for the murder he committed all those years ago. And to be perfectly truthful I'm forever on the 'Wayne is awsome and needs to be around always' side of the fandom. I know not everyone feels that way and I understand there arguments, but I do think Wayne is a deeper character then people sometimes give him credit for. 

Number one Stormlight four prediction. Teft swears fourth ideal before Kaladin, definitely. Teft just seams to have more forward momentum in his emotional journey right now. I love Kaladin but if his fourth ideal is what most of the fandom thinks it is then I don't think he's swearing it any time soon. For the record my opinion on Kaladin's eventual fourth ideal is something along the lines of 'I will kill my enemies to protect my allies'. 

Also I want Lopen to swear the third ideal in a serious non joking manor, I know he can be a non troll character if he really tries!    

My non Brandon favorite book series are the Expanse by James S. A. Corry, the Percy Jackson books, and the Wheel of Time books, though I'm only up The Shadow Rising at this moment. 

The Book I'm currently reading is Shadow of the Conquerer by Shad M. Brooks. It's a nice dark fantasy, do not give to kids but I do recomend. Shad is the youtuber behind Shadiversety, a channel I recommend highly, as well as a consultant on storlight four. The audiobook is narrated by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading so you really can't go wrong.

I'm greatly looking forward to contributing to this fine fandom. Thank you for taking the time to read my first post!
