The girl from the new Willow would be a perfect Vin. Other than she cant act. But she LOOKS like a perfect Vin https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9342097/mediaviewer/rm30358017/?ref_=nm_md_1

I will admit that was my favorite moment in the book How can you not love Wayne. Best Wingman in the Cosmere. (Sorry Adolin)

Yes. Big picture perspective there are too many magic systems and too much complexity for the average reader to digest and understand. It is definitely getting clunky. It takes more time to write but discovering powers Kaladin did in a more incremental manner is more exciting for the reader. Power creep is a problem in all fantasy books. We are approaching that here. To the point there are so many magic systems its basically to the point there are no rules and you can do whatever the story needs you to do.

Just finished the audiobook yesterday. I agree with others who have echoed this sentiment that the book was a bit of a disappointment. From a big picture perspective whether its this book or the last Stormlight book, it just seems than Brandon spreads himself too thin and does not put the planning and effort into his books that he used to. I know he likes Beta readers but his books also seem at this point impossible to edit. With the insane timeline he holds himself to. In my mind that is the root cause. Brandon just does not put the time into his Cosmere books that he used to. Another poster wrote it much more eloquently but I agree that the Cosmere interconnections, while a great payoff do some degree, is becoming a drag on the books. I know there was a "A" story and a "B" story here. But in general the entire book felt linear and never felt like you had great stakes. I know that is contrary because you have an atom bomb aimed at a city. But it just never got to that Sanderlanche climax like so many other books have. Perhaps I expect to much due to Brandons high standard. That being said. I am a big Wayne fan. So I like that he was featured in this book so prominently. I am also a Steris fan (she basically IS my wife) so I like that she got some payoff here. The screen time with Wax flying in a baby Bjorn, yea that was pretty awesome. Still plenty of awesome in the book. And like every Cosmere book, I listen to it first, then go to the internet and read about it for like a week, then listen again. Often I am much happier with the book on second listen. Was it me or did Brandon kind of do a soft reboot on what the Ghostbloods are? Certainly does not match up with what Shallan has experienced. Finally - Elantris is the only Cosmere book/media I didnt finish. Its just too damn slow and boring. But he keeps calling back to it though so I guess I have no choice but to read it.

I was surprised after the end of Book 2, in Book 3 they didn't have Raenette make a gun that is like a grenade launcher for alimantic grenades. That seems like a missed opportunity.

I love Wayne but my wife is like Steris so much it’s not funny

I thought about making this a poll. But maybe discussion is better. Its a close race for me. My wife is basically Steris (at least in personality). But I would say Khriss is my cosmere crush. Who is yours?

I say this often. Yet I am usually shouted down (on reddit). I think the Wax and Wayne books are the best entry point into the Cosmere. They are by far the most accessible Cosmere books.
