IIRC, Roshar is based off of a Julia set. That continent at least.

You kidding me? It's a picture perfect copy. It's like he traced it. Look at the small inlets and peninsulas on Ireland's coast. They line up perfectly. It's no coincidence.

Compare westeros to one of Brandon Sandersons maps. It's original, it's unique, and it's got flair and style. The map is dynamic, its intuitive and coherent. Much better design.

What are some hard sci-fi stories that involve traveling through space at very high speeds? FTL or relatively is fine.

"Wit" is one of several consistent traits among most of Sanderson's female leads. There is no subtlety involved with her thinking she is witty. In-universe, she IS witty.

The world of Berserk is very corrupt and was corrupt for a long fucking time before Apostles showed up regularly within the series.
Oddly enough though, we haven't seen a raping since the trolls.

I'm almost half way trough "The Way Of Kings"

Is Sanderson still avoiding sex scenes like he did in Mistborn?

If so, what the hell can I read that isn't asoiaf that has an actual credible character story?

A lot of the ones without a mouse as an MC tend to be decent. I remember enjoying Pearls of Lutra, and I liked Taggerung. Almost anything involving a good badger was swell too.

Spren is Investiture.

Oh you weren't being serious, merely shitposting in the thread. Equally as dumb but not surprising. Shame on me. Polite sage for responding.

I enjoyed the main character and his profession that I can somewhat relate to and even appreciate the moral stance behind it while agreeing.

Sorry, went to sleep.

I'll just copypaste a brief bit from the Wiki because I'm only finished with the first book and not sure when I'll read the other two in the trilogy:

>the Fae is a vast energy field that comes from within and around Erna to envelop its surface. Some individuals are possessed of the ability to manipulate, or Work it, to perform spectacular feats of magical ability

Essentially, the world that the Fae are on was the only world in the Galaxy that humans were able to settle on, and it works on a 'belief' system like as example during night time if you exhibit fear/fright/etc, more 'monsters' will appear. That is a poor way of explaining it on my end but it's done fairly well.

There's a phone game too or something.

Okay brothers and sisters, what should I read next?

There is a clear reason why people are turned into Elantrians but I cannot be fucked to find it right now. Check coppermind.

Elantris is pathetically simple to follow.

Fight me, nigga. Greenfly was cool.

Jasnah? I'd guess she teleported to Shadesmar and healed herself there.

Another world map of Roshar. This time in decent color.
