>as they rejected a report about a Veden woman who claimed her baby had been "blessed by Tashi himself to have lighter skin than his father, to make him more comfortable interacting with foreigners"
Is this a subtle cheating allusion? Brandon is getting ballsy. He even had Lift describe a building to be like "dangly bits".

Quick! One of you be useful! Is TESO worth $11?

Oh yeah, he could read the future or some such. Okay.

Huh. That's all mildly intriguing. So at the end, Tarrant made it so where you could only work the Fae for 'good' intentions? Since you mentioned altruism and sacrificing life.

Thanks for explaining everything.

I didn't make the thread, champ. I was even asleep during its creation.

I think it is the same guy who is obsessed with me. Regardless, I tripped a couple of times with that name and a -fag suffix should not bother anybody on 4chan.

Bavadin is allied with Odium. Did you mean Hoid instead? That would be more fitting.
IIRC, we'll see the Shattering during the Dragonsteel series.

I haven't actively lurked 17th Shard since March or so. I'm horribly behind on a lot of things, mainly new trivia reveals from all the signings and Q&As and such since then.

I think it was more prominent in the last book but then again, it has been around six years since I've read them. I guess the Ousters were persecuted so much since they could naturally live outside of Hegemony habitats so of course that meant they were THE ENEMY.

Unless paperbacks don't have the illustrations.

Sorry for the late reply. Had class and stuff.

You could publication order. You won't catch anything other than Hoid unless you know specifically what to look for--Hoid is somewhat special but not really because his name is recurring so you may read your second Cosmere book and recognize his name from your first Cosmere book, depending on what you read.

Otherwise, you could read Elantris/Warbreaker/Mistborn -> Alloy of Law/Stormlight. Don't forget about the novellas either.

I'll be 25 in June.

>mfw just finding out Brandon secretly wrote ANOTHER book

I guess we're getting Stormlight 8 next, then. Sweet fucking god. Too much hype.

At least Spook got mad pussy at the end of the first trilogy.

Nigga had over a dozen children too.

Dat arena battle had me pumped.

If you want literature where you can tell Sanderson is struggling, read Elantris. I'm glad he has improved so much since then.

Can I sperg out about the Cosmere? I never get to do that.

Once you get there but we knew a Kaladin and Szeth confrontation was going to happen since the ending of TWoK.

>>5108671
Do you like meta-series'?

>>5109877
He might be. He IS going to Braize after all but then again, he could be going to provide support.

Lift will have her own book in the second half, yes. So will Jasnah. Lift used "awesomeness" because she is a kid. This has been explained. And yes, it is expected that she will mature by the second half.

Fun fact: Spook was basically a gigolo at the end of Mistborn and helped repopulation.

>>5112925
Something is wrong with the Knights Radiant as well. That's what the numerical code in one of the end epigraphs from The Diagram was about.

I believe the Listeners are Voidbinders which are basically Surgebinders but different yet similar abilities.
