The Sibling

This is the most fascinating yet concise conversation I've read on the shard, and I thought I should share that.

I think more recent Brandon books feel less well revised than other ones, maybe because he has more pressure to publish things now? Especially with the secret projects, there was not a ton of time to revise them, and he was trying to write Stormlight 5 at the same time. I also didn't feel too much emotional connection with Sigzil. Throughout the story, his character seemed to change a lot. He didn't seem consistent, and the only real emotion that I got from him was exhaustion. When Aux died there was no grief. I was sad, because I liked Aux. But Sigzil didn't seem sad, and I didn't feel sad for him. That being said, I really liked this book. Even though I didn't connect with Sigzil very much, there were moment (like the bridge four salute) that were awesome, and the book worked really well anyways. It wasn't as character focused, or at least, it only focused on one character who wasn't that good, but I still enjoyed it more than any other Brandon stand-alone. I hope that maybe seeing Sigzil in Stormlight and having a better explanation as to what happened with him might help to re-contextualise the book and make it a more enjoyable read, but I find it unlikely since Sigzil really isn't the focus of Stormlight.

Hello and welcome! Which secret project are you most exited for?

When you ever over shardcast in the menu an the it shows the recent episodes it doesn't show the newest one.

Accurate. 10/10

Even if she does though, that still doesn't give us the perspective of someone actively suffering from or being hurt by the caste system. That's why it was kind of weird when she abolished slavery because she had no previous emotional connection to this issue and we never even saw a darkeyes or slave's opinion or experience after this change. This episode was really good by the way. That dragon lore was crazy.

I mean, sure!

i would like to bring forth @The stormfather, a certified terrible pun master.

Yes! a fellow Canadian. Love maple syrup and beavers and snow. Also I love the cold. I'm hoping eventually Brandon includes a cool winter setting in one of his books that actually shows the beauty of winter. My question : What's your favourite herb?

Toally agree with that last one. Some comments from my dad who's on oathbringer right now : Kaladin, pull it together! Stop whining. Wait, so the fifth one isn't even out yet? What's the point of reading the whole series then? Does Amaram ever get what he deserves? You know, this Taravangian guy seems pretty sketchy. Wait, what's Dalinar's wife's name again?

But then how does Duxredux have it?

616 that's cool. Of course, I just ruined it, but 17 is also a good number. Wikim would be great. I wonder if he's going to learn to read.

From what we saw when Shallan visited them, it seemed like Balat was just hanging out being a guard or something. It would be cool to check up on him though. I also would totally want a Jushu interlude, I found that Shallan's flashbacks and the interludes gave all her brothers really interesting characters that I would love to see expanded.

Heyyyy, at least he (I) was honest with our moneyyyy (never gon' be president now)

Political by Spirit of the West for Navani during her prologue. Both the song and prologue make me feel sad but feeling is good so it's fine.

Alalhawithador is a blue agent!

Definitely still fun. Band is the best! Sounds cool that you got a new conductor! I'm glad you play at football, I've always wanted to play at sports but we don't really do that here. My Conductor is pretty good although two of the ensembles I'm in are student run so they're more casual.

I wish our school had a marching band. But alas, we don't really do pep rallies or anything so when would we even play. The only time we perform is twice a year at our music night. I think small bands are more fun because you can get to know everyone, but also I think the music programs everywhere took a bit hit from the pandemic so I don't have a lot of experience with a bigger band.

I can be the spymaster if we want to get this going again. @The Aspiring Archivist

Nice! Right now we're playing a few John Coltrane songs and different jazz standards from the Real Book.
