excited to move on to the sequel series for the first time. What do you think of that?Marked it before it came out years ago and forgot about it. I guess I'm getting it off eBay now.
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is one of my favorite trilogies.Just saying its alot of War of the Flowers premise. It's hardly orginal. Then again GRRM stole bits from Memory Sorrow and thorn
No disrespect, but 90% of isekai wouldn't change one way or another if they weren't isekai to begin with.Many Isekais are made as isekais so they can just have an excuse to spoonfeed exposition to the MC without looking out of place for a 16-20 year old somehow not understanding how that world works.
Curious to see Sanderson's take on the genre though.
no tyBe fair to Sanderson, the guy's one of the few authors who actually staves off burnout by writing extra stuff.
more mistborn, reckoners, or legion instead thanks
it really annoys me that there has been addition content added to reckoners and legion, but they're audio-only. i don't want to listen to someone tell me a book, it's not something my brain is capable of letting me do.
We got Mistborn era 2 because he had writers block in Stormlight IIRC. This isn't coming at the expense of his main stories, and isn't likely to effect the timeline we get new stuff either due to how he keeps motivated because he does side stuff. It's a extra thing.Mistborn was always meant to be a generation spanning epic. He's currently writing Era 3, which was meant to be Era 2. Alloy of Law was a book he wrote during writer's block for Stormlight, but it was supposed to be a one-off interquel that would help bridge the time gap between Era 1 and Era 2. But then he did as he does and kept fucking writing. Until Wax and Wayne had enough books to become Era 2.
