>they have magical transmutation
Sure but fabrials are still something in active development.

>be used by another lord to get to a battle before you
That's a big reason why each 'army' has their own shields, yeah.

Bands of Mourning is already written; was written at the same time he wrote Shadows of Self, so yes. That's the only book for January.

Real shit going down.
Water fucking sleeps, my nigga.

You best not be talking shit about Redemption Ark.

I expect nothing else with a comment like that. Enjoy your colossal pile of loose ends and major plot points left unexplained, all with a forced and ridiculous romance plot because Simmons is a lazy author.

Can't tell much from this one.
