I forgot about dragons possibly being Vessels.

Also threadly reminder that we've seen the ending to Stormlight Archives in the first book.

I have a deep simmering hatred for all of you.

Lurk more. Read Axiomatic and Luminous.

>>10933276
oh yeah
THE MINISERIES IS SUCH A FUCKING ABOMINATION OF A BUTCHER IT TAKES TRUE TALENT TO FUCK UP SO POORLY

Read literally anything in the Radix Tetrad and get back to me, you filthy peasant babbies

>Hell, cosmerefag can you give Sanderson this idea?
Lolwut. I have never seen nor interacted with Sanderson beyond my one singular signed book. He doesn't even come to my state for touring.

The sexspren are probably sexual. Or, to be pedantic, arousalspren or libidospren.

Thanks for explaining. I knew about the Azathanai but had forgotten any details about them.

I have a Kindle 3 and it is amazing. Doesn't even feel like I'm staring at a screen, probably because of the e-ink thing.

>SA3 not until 2017
>first Elantris sequel not until between SA4 and 5
>second Elantris sequel not until after SA5
>Mistborn Adventures 4 not until 2018
>Warbreaker sequel on hiatus
>Silence Divine on hiatus
Fuck.

I'm almost as excited to read the ~14% of pure scientific citations and explanations for Blindsight as I was for reading the book itself.

Tau Zero is great sci-fi.
Hyperion blows after the first book.

So let's get some discussion going:

>What was your favorite moment in each book, or from both books, so far?
>Who is your favorite character and why?
>What is your favorite concept so far?
>What are you most looking forward to?
>What mystery or plot point do you want explained the most?

In over thirty years, possibly.

Read better books. Unfortunately, you sometimes have to read books before finding out how shitty they are but your taste will grow and increase with time.

Tau Zero was good and it had a dragon at the end. :-3

The one person I've recommended Cosmere stuff to has only read Mistborn so far and enjoyed it; even recommended it to one of his friends. Haven't been able to get him to read anything else yet but he's also reading other shit so who knows.

>mfw something is tampering with the Diagram akin to how Ruin tampered with anything not written on steel on Scadrial

>>5261537
I have read both books, anon. Nothing new as far as Fantasy goes. Does nothing different as far as Fantasy goes. Utter filth. IMO.

>>5261683
Probably taste like space crab!

>you didn't like the book so you're probably stupid
Typical rebuttal of somebody who enjoys that type of book.
