oh my god the Edgedancer hardcover is so cute. I already have it in Arcanum but I almost want to double dip because of how adorable it looks.
Finished reading Shadows of Self last night, and jumped right into Bands of Mourning.
Over the course of the 2nd Mistborn Era, Wayne has definitely evolved into my new favorite character of the saga, but if I'm being honest... I want more Steris. I know she's a minor character, but I'd love to see her expanded on. I feel like there's something hidden under the surface there, just waiting to break free. She has to be more than just obsessive with order and planning to the nth degree
I'm looking forward to what I presume will be a lot more insight into the Lord Ruler, and more unveiling of Scadrial though.
2018 will be when I start Stormlight, so looking forward to that too
oh you're gonna love Bands of Mourning if you want more Steris!
The best way :)
[...]Like Steelheart and its sequels, this is a kind of borderline YA/Adult project.
[...]
The official pitch is this:Defeated, crushed, and driven almost to extinction, the remnants of the human race are trapped on a planet that is constantly attacked by mysterious alien starfighters. Spensa, a teenage girl living among them, longs to be a pilot. When she discovers the wreckage of an ancient ship, she realizes this dream might be possible—assuming she can repair the ship, navigate flight school, and (perhaps most importantly) persuade the strange machine to help her. Because this ship, uniquely, appears to have a soul.
[...]
The goal right now is to have Skyward done in time for a publication date of November 6, 2018.
Sanderson announced a new series (won't be part of the Cosmere though)
merry christmas, y'all
Whoa, what was Apocalypse Guard supposed to be? I thought the Reckoners was decent YA and I'm interested to see more stories in that universe
September 2018: Stephen Leeds/Legion Collection
November 2018: Skyward
Fall 2019: Wax and Wayne 4
Sometime 2019: Skyward 2
Sometime 2020: Stormlight 4
Sometime 2020: Skyward 3
Elantris and Warbreaker
No change on either one from last year. The plan has always been to look back at Sel and Nalthis once the Wax and Wayne books are done. That's still my intention.
Status: Keep waiting. (Sorry.)
Having just finished Bands of Mourning, that definitely hurts. That reveal at the very end, goddamn
I get that it's weird compared to expectations, but this ties in significantly to the overall plot of not only the book, but the series. You'll find out more if you keep reading.I couldn't finish Bands of Mourning. Findingand escaping with some weird plane? Ehhh. For some reason that turned me off. The whole book felt weak compared to the first two.
I didn't much care for Edgedancer personally, but I'm pretty much alone in that opinion it seems.I couldn't finish Bands of Mourning. Findingand escaping with some weird plane? Ehhh. For some reason that turned me off. The whole book felt weak compared to the first two.
I started Oathbringer this week and the introduction told me to read Edgedancer first. Great. Maybe if it wasn't always listed with a delivery time of several weeks on Amazon and bookstores for my country I'd actually have that to read. Please tell me I can continue with Oathbringer without missing too much.

Ah alright, that's better. I don't even recall the name so I'll assume he's just one of the interlude characters.Edgedancer isn't needed, per say, but it does...bridge time between Lift's chapter in a previous Stormlight book to the events of Oathbringer.
It's definitely worth reading but not mandatory to understand Oathbringer.
Ah alright, that's better. I don't even recall the name so I'll assume he's just one of the interlude characters.
Even if he plans to take a break between arcs, it really does depend on his inspiration and how burned out he is. There's been more than one occasion where he gets an idea that is just too much of a bug in his head and he has to get it out, altering his previous plans.
That's true but I don't think his bursts of inspiration have led to him putting out a book the size of a Stormlight novel. They're usually novellas or smaller novels (Alloy of Law-sized). He's also said the Stormlight books are a lot more involved and tend to require more outlining work before he gets down to the business of writing them. I suppose the burst of inspiration could be to trim the last 5 books down in size but somehow I doubt it :p
I know I shouldn't be asking this, but I'm early into Words of Radiance now and isI really hope not. Part of me thinks it's a red herring, but...Jasnah really dead?
Amyhow, my love for Stormlight keeps growing. What a great series so far.
