Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere Book • Page 40

WOR is February or March I think, and will be a Kickstarter if I remember right. Not sure about this one though.

 

Looks like it’s just a regular preorder on the Dragonsteel website. $150 for both books.

 

I get that it's discounted, but man, this hurts when you can't fit in the budget, haha.

 

Yeah, it's a great price, but I'm on the fence if I'll go for it right now. I eventually want to own all the leatherbounds, but I think I'm content to pick them up piecemeal via gifts/birthdays (/my wallet requires me to do so).

 

WoR will be a Kickstarter and is supposed to also feature the Rock novella

 

Starting Lost Metal. I'm on blackout from comments in this thread so I'll have to read them later. I forgot how fucking interesting, and Cosmere focused his Appendices are.

 

End of Chapter 15, I have a question, Should I know the three diamonds symbol as a cosmere reference? Or is it related to the story and will be explained? If it's the latter I obviously don't need an explanation)

 

Both. It is the former, but the latter will happen before too long also

 

Sweet, my only worry was missing something I should have known. Thanks

 

Always a relevant question in a cosmere book haha

 

LOL Chapter 27 Wayne refers to the mayor of Bilmington as a sack of dicks sewn together, is that the crassest thing that Sanderson has ever written?

 

Haha my money's on yes. Wit's insults/in sluts joke is up there too. Also, toward the end of The Lost Metal there's another bit of dialogue that gives Wayne's line here a run, haha.

 

I also like that the broadsheets censor r*st

 

Twinsoul is dope. Also love Moonlight and super happy she has a big role in this

 

Chapter 55 Ok, so Shay-I is obviously awesome but my heart broke a little at the possibility of losing Shai. Obviously she'll come back, but I hope she's not gone too long

 

Fully agreed. And this ties into one of the things that I think is so bittersweet about Era 2/the Cosmere in general (which I'm loving)—we're getting to see people change and adapt over an incredibly long time period. Shai had such a lovely character arc that I almost want her to just stay there and not have to change and grow any more. Kelsier doesn't have that same effect for me because he's still got some stuff to work out haha, but honestly, it's been challenging (again, in a good way) to see Harmony in Era 2 because Sazed was probably my favorite from Era 1 and I was so, so thrilled with how it ended for him. His new developments are fantastic, of course, but there's a part of me that just wants him to remain with the conclusion of The Hero of Ages and not have to go through anything else, you know?

 

Yeah my immediate worry is that Shay-I believes she's a god of some sort, and Shai said she needed to agree to return, and I don't see a god giving up their believed divinity for a "mortal." Yeah Sazed is tough, because it's great seeing him with this power, and he deserved it, not the heartache, but godhood. It's really tough seeing him with his hands tied in the way that they are, but plotwise, it's brilliant, the idea that he's battling with two opposing Commands. Speaking of Commands, I love that the main villains of the Cosmere are ideas/ideals. That's what made the Thomas Covenant series so damn good.

 

Absolutely agreed with all of that.

 

Ch 68 "People suffered when the truth became a commodity to be speculated upon"

 

Wow, what a climax. Wayne was never my favorite character, I don't looove Sanderson's "funny" characters, but damn if I didn't shed a tear or two

 

Happy State of the Sanderson Day to all who celebrate and happy birthday, Brandon.

 

I think this might be the year I go for my Nth re-read. I haven't read it fully since RoW, i'm sure!

 

This year might be when I finally read RoW!

 

lovely

 

Those are beautiful but I don't need another set. I've already got the Leatherbounds. I don't need them okay!
