@JoyBlu ngl, I literally forgot about that scene XD. If not for that, I'd agree that it's unforgettable. It honestly didn't creep me out as much as it should have, since I was distracted by the fact that I figured out they were spren before the book outright said it. But yeah, that was also extremely messed up. Also, you are not the only one to miss the "Lord of Scars" thing. I was talking to my friend about it: "And we still don't know who Thaidakar is!" And she just looked at me and went, "Uh, yes we do." I facepalmed so hard when she explained it. Kaladin's confusion in situations like this gives me life.

There were going to be four, but then Branderson accidentally wrote W&W, so now there's five.

Edit: This post was based on faulty information and thus is invalid. We all know that sixteen is Scadrial's magic number. But just how far is Branderson taking it? Let's do some math. There are three era 1 books, and there will be four era 2 books. If he stays on track, we'll have three more eras: era 3 (1980s I think?), contemporary, and space age. Assuming each of those are trilogies, we get 3+4+9, which equals... 16 Thank you for coming to my TED talk. A lot of this is based on assumptions and what might happen years in the future. Feel free to debunk me.

Warbreaker spoilers

Kelsier is a Hoid wannabe The Dog and the Dragon was just *Italian chef kiss cause I'm out of words*

Oh of course *facepalm*

Mistborn era 2 and Middle Earth. I want Wayne to meet the elves...

Gavilar?

He should bring Oroden to his therapy group one day.

Glad to know I'm not the only one

I can't believe I forgot about that scene!!!

@wotbibliophile Ooh, that's a good point...

Vasher...?

@Ramona Tehradin "This is gonna be a long rant" tbh I didn't really believe you at first, but then I scrolled down and STORMS that was a long rant XD @wotbibliophile I love Design, and she's barely even been in the story at all. I'm dying to get more of her...

@GroundPetrel Adolin is amazing. Honestly it's a miracle he and Renarin turned out so well, with Blackthorn!Dalinar being Blackthorn!Dalinar... Todium is quite frankly the most terrifying thing Branderson has created (perhaps excluding The Scene in Warbreaker, though that was terrifying for different reasons). Why? Well, Rayse was, despite being a Shard and all that, not very smart. Either that or he was done trying. But Taravangian is extremely crafty, and with that much power, well, the Cosmere had better pull their act together or they're all doomed. Yesssss Navani's chapters were so good! It was especially interesting drawing some earth similarities from stuff I've learned in my chemistry class and YouTube videos. @Kingsdaughter613 Wow... I don't feel like I have the right words to respond. I never once thought of that before, but you can be sure that'll never be the case again. @LuckyJim I think we all need an Adolin in our lives.

I completely agree on that. Raboniel is honestly one of my favorite villains ever now. She was extremely intelligent, cared about her daughter, and was legitimately impressed when Navani outsmarted her. And despite all that, she was still definitely a villain. You rarely see so much depth in the evil characters, especially when they're female.

I've seen several hate posts floating around on here, and while I completely understand needing to rant, sometimes you just need to rave about things instead. So here ya go! This post is ONLY for things that make ROW great. NO criticisms, NO hating on characters or plot points, NO talking about things you wish had happened. If someone loves something you hate, DON'T SAY ANYTHING. I don't want any arguing debates, no matter how polite it may be. This is a safe place for fans to be fans. Talking about sad or terrifying things is totally allowed, as they add to the overall stakes and make the book more exciting. Hopes and theories about the next book are also allowed. I'm going to start out by talking about the one scene (ok, scenes) that made me cry: The Fourth Ideal. Teft's death did not make me cry (I was too much in shock for that), but it DID put me on an emotional high that just kept rising when Kaladin gave up, and then Tien showed up and that was it. I was gone. I'M SO PROUD OF KALADIN. Also, I'm fascinated by Dalinar's powers, because not only did he send Kaladin the vision-y thing, he also ACCEPTED THE WORDS. Imo, this is the best argument I've seen that he'll ascend later. The Coppermind makes Bondsmith powers seem so simple, but all they did was list the Surges. There's something BEYOND that when it comes to Bondsmiths.

I get the feeling you're talking about a specific person...

I never did see anyone do this... Apologies for the quality, I'm still pretty new to meme making. Tips would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. Storms, yes.

I could list half of the characters he's ever created, not to mention the ones I like but don't love per se I actually hate very few Sanderson characters

Could it possibly affect her Surgebinding in any way? I honestly doubt anyone in world even knows; I wouldn't be surprised if her situation is completely unique.

SAME

How about you? Which are your favorites?
