She could have an iron deficiency... my friends dog always licked the skirtings along the bottom of the wall because she liked the metal in it.

Yes indeed! Brace yourself... We live on a farm, but unlike OP we only have three cats (my dad and one of my brothers is allergic). I love them though. Domino, a very grumpy beautiful fat Siamese-Burmese mix, and then the two sisters, Sargent Pepper and Princess Frankensitne, or King Dom (that's a pun), Pepper and Frankie all for short. The sisters I raised from the time they were seven says old, bottle-feeding them, and I adore them. We also have two dogs, Bailey, a who-knows-what whom we got as a puppy from a rescue home, he was abused from birth and is brian-damaged and half dead, an absolute idiot but a lovable one. There's also Abigail, a young border collie, whom we got from a nearby farm for free to keep Bailey company after Doodle (our other dog) was run over two years ago. There's actually a joke behind her name - my mother fell pregnant the same month we got her, and my grandmother has been begging my mom since she got married to name one of her daughter Abigail but my mother hates that name, so my sister sarcastically suggested we name the dog Abigail (my grandmother hates dogs) and it kind of stuck. Yeah... my mom doesn't like her mother-in-law Then we have the guinea pigs, fat and greedy Fonella who has the skill to create a portal to outside of her cage and skinny Taffy, who we thought was a boy until Fonella failed to get pregnant. We also go two black rabbits whom we named Nova a Comet a few days after we got them Comet randomy died. Then we got two baby white rabbits my brothers named Olaf and Elsa. Elsa ran away. (All I can imagine is this white rabbit running happily through our farm fields singling, Let it go, Let it go..) Last but not least we have 38 chickens, none of whomw e have named except for Houdina, who has insanle escapists skills, and four nanny goats - Trixy, MIlly-Molly, Purdy, and... I can't remember the last ones name. That's it! If you read all that.... you get a cookie.

This thread is the reason spam bots come to us offering us love potions....

Which was your first Sanderson book? Mine was the Mistborn series, then Alloy of Law, then Warbreaker, then Elantris, then WoK, then Rithmatist, then Steelhert, then Legion, the The Emperors Soul, and then WoR. Excitedly awaiting Firefight now!

Mistborn or Warbreaker would probably be your best bet, but as Moogle said, anything Brandon writes is (in my opinion) amazing, so really, you what, just go and buy them all! (hehe) Funny story: after a year of begging I eventually convinced my (very) stubborn guy friend to read WoK and he loved it. I told him to read the other Sandersons but he was all snarky and snobbish like, "No, I normally only like one or two books by an author, I have very refined tastes." I pretended to believe him but discreetly mentioned that a library near him has all three Mistborn books. Three months later he comes and whines in my ears because the third book is still out and now he has to wait several weeks for it. I feel like an evil mastermind But yes, Mistborn or Warbreaker are probably my personal favorites in the Cosmere (strong females ftw!) and I'd recommend them for you if you enjoyed WoK, they have very similar feels, unlike, say, Rithmatis, which though I LOVED it has a very different feel to WoK and it probably won't be a good idea to read it directly after WoK as it's a far simpler story.

I'm with Argent and InsurrectionistFungus here. TLDR could ahve worked very well as a female, maybe even better than a male. And as for Odium, I ditto InsurrectionistFungus. Odium is an all-powerful god. We're scared of Odium because of his power (he's a shard) his intent (he's the shard of hate.) and the fact that even before he became a shardholder, he was a nasty person. None of those things are specifically masculine. The main problem here is that people automatically assume any villain is male. They don't think a woman is scary enough, because women "arenta s strong as males" or some nonesense.

I think you made the best choice in "Riding the Mainspring" - ef a title that would catch my attention. Show us the cover!

Why do you say TLR wouldn't have worked as a female? It could have worked easily imo.

I think I know what desolations felt like....

Okay, I've seen this thing around on other forums, basically, press Ctrl+V or right click and select paste and post your result! (Yes, this is totally pointless) Mine: Conspiracy theories are like the weird aunt in the family, either

You, mam, are a genius.

I'd love to see more female big bads! It's always fun to read a trope being turned on it's head.

Why do they think we need astrologers when we have Hoid?

I've only read the first book, but I seriously enjoyed it, and the second is on my wishlist. Personally I didn't enjoy Taniel as a character - I felt he had stupid reasons for doing things - but that was Taniel's fault, not Brian's. As in, a character personality that just didn't gel with me, rather than a badly designed character. But Tamas was awesome - the scene where he insisted the doctor guy remove that star from his leg is my favorite on in the book - and I loved Adamat, he was probably my favorite of the four POV's. Nila had potential, and I hope her story gets elaborated in the next book. I did wish that we'd had at least a few chapters that introduced us to Tamas's wife and especially Taniel's fiance, whatever her name was. I felt his excuse for over dosing (his fiance cheated on him) was weak since I didn't know the character at all so, honestly, I didn't really care, and when it turned out that they hadn't even loved each other, it was even weaker. I'm reserving total judgment until I've read the whole series, though. another thing that felt weirdly stilted was Taniel's and Tama's move from "lmao gods dont exist" to "oh no she's summoning Kresimir we must sacrifice our lives to stop her" was unrealistic. It was too sudden, with no distinct "I believe this because of such and such" point. (does that make sense?) Am I the only one who doesn't trust Olem I mean, I loved Olem, he's aweosme but... i don't know, I just don't trust him. He feels too good to be true. Randomly comes into Tamas's life and suddenly willing to do anything to save Tamas. What did Tamas ever do for him? Haha, maybe I'm just a cynic. But I have a built in wariness for the way-too-nice characters in any book. Here I am, grumbling when actually I loved the book.
