I haven't yet, but I got the series for Christmas a couple years ago, so it's on my list!

I would assume the wait command would work like the others, with a number attached to indicate how long to wait. Once you need it to wait longer than a few seconds, you might as well wait to draw it. I got nothing for looping instructions though. You may not be able to, since you're usually drawing quite a few chalklings. For example, if you want to breach a double circle defense, a looped program could let you send a chalkling to attack, then keep moving forward to attack the inner circle; you'd loop the 'move forward, attack'. However, since you'd have several chalklings attacking at once, you probably wouldn't need/even be able to do that; you would just tell them to move forward until they hit chalk, so the ones behind would just move through the gap. And all of that might not matter, as the chalkling may just remember the last one or two commands anyway. On the binding chalklings page, it implies they remember instructions in the bit on using too long a line to connect them to the circle, saying they can get distracted. So once they're through the first circle, or defeat an enemy chalkling, they may just go looking for more to attack. As for your last question, I think it wouldn't work. Intent is huge with rithmatics, so unless the drawer intends for the chalkling to begin, I think nothing would happen. You'd have to start over.

I think I got it surprisingly late, given my track record. It was revealed to me at the same time as the other characters. I got basically everything else though, just missed that one piece. I figured out early that he was cursed like Hoid, but I don't know why it never crossed my mind that he was a character we already knew.

It took me a while to finish the series, but I finally did! Stayed up until almost 3am because I couldn't put it down. Once again, was not disappointed! I pride myself in being able to catch on to the plot, and figure things out quickly, but I was never ahead of David. I figured it out as he did, I messed it up when he did, etc. It's so refreshing to have books that I can't predict. Sanderson writes it so perfectly, that when you finally figure it out, it feels obvious because there were all these hints and signs, but they didn't make sense until that moment. I know it's a young adult series, but his writing is so intelligent that I didn't feel like I was reading a YA novel. I stopped reading the later Percy Jackson books because they started feeling too young for me. I had just gotten too old for them to grab my attention in the same way. No such issues with Reckoners. It's nowhere near as complicated as Mistborn, but it's no 'dumbed down'. There's just a little less to the magic system, but even then, he didn't simplify the magic system so much that you couldn't figure it out quickly! So yeah, that's my praise of the Reckoners Trilogy. I have the whole of the Cosmere to read next.

I just finished the Reckoners trilogy, so I needed to know what I should read next. I remembered someone giving me a list, and here you are! Thank you! For his non-Cosmere books, is there a recommended reading order for those?

Only other book I've read is Rithmatist. I don't even remember where it came from, because my mum read it out loud to my sister and I. I took it and have reread it about a dozen times now. I am SO looking forward to getting to Stormlight. That's with the giant swords right? I just realized Mistborn is in the same universe, so I'm really excited to see more of the Cosmere.

Not at the moment, but I have a Wattpad where I'll hopefully end up posting some stuff. It's working title is Subterra and follows a boy named Aris as he looks into his brother's disappearance. Fairies and magic are involved.

So glad you liked it! I am the same way. Sanderson handles it really well though, I think. At least there's a reason for her not talking about it that's not just 'don't want to', 'assuming something and not checking if they're right', or 'plot dictates it". It's the same in Mistborn. Again, I'm the same way. I'm asexual and aromantic, so having the boy and girl always end up romantically together gets tiring (hence why I'm writing a book where they don't). And who knows, maybe Sanderson's assistant, Peter, or even Brandon himself, will see this. Could influence how it goes, since from what I've seen, he likes to avoid clichés.

I love this! It kinda fits with others things in Sanderson's magic systems. Rithmatist was originally going to be a Cosmere book, so I'm assuming the magic system shares some basic elements. Below is a Mistborn spoiler. It feels like it fits together. I need to reread it (for the tenth time) and see what I can find. I've been making notes, but I need to write them in a notebook instead of in the actual book. He could be a subcategory of Forgotten?

Put possible spoilers because while I won't be saying anything specific, you might be able to make guesses base on things I'm going to say. Also, in the comments, mark spoilers for Hero of Ages. I just finished Well of Ascension and haven't started the last one yet. Anyway. You probably know this already, but Sanderson is a god of writing. It isn't easy for a book to catch me off guard. I have a knack for spotting plot twists and predicting endings, but the ending of WoA? Totally didn't see it coming and it was amazing. The last time that happened was when I read Rithmatist. This is the third book of Sanderson's I've read and I've already decided I have to read everything. I know I said not actual spoilers, but I'm on a roll, so there's your drop-down. I can't wait to see what happens in Hero of Ages! And I have the first of the Reckoners for when I finish that.
