Way of Kings in 2010, Words of Radiance in 2014, and now finally Oathbringer. 450,000 words, 1,243 pages, and still not long enough. Other Sanderson fans will be able to grasp my level of excitement right now, which is like 30/10.

The Golem and the Jinni, it's a really good book if you like historical and urban fantasy blended
it's an easy read, so maybe I can finish it tonight (about halfway right now)

I'll check it out! I myself will be having to cut a sci-fi book called Hyperion short, though I'm only around 30% done.

Sanderson also releases a lot of smaller stuff in between. I think he's done something like 5 other books in between WoR and Oathbringer.

Edit: Checked on Wikipedia and apparently it was 4 things:

Three Mistborn stories
Sixth of the Dusk
Edgedancer

Plus all the other stuff he's working on currently.

I know was just teasing TC. I've managed to read pretty much all his work in roughly the last year so the hype is very high.

This date has been circled on my calendar since the release date was first announced. I've thought about taking off work so I can just read it all tomorrow, but I think I'll just leave early instead. If I get out at noon I should be done by 7 or 8.

I'M SO HYPED.

He makes the girly girls then most bad ass

It was a rough start for Shallan in Way, but I thought that she became a good character halfway through the book and it carried over to WoR.

Honestly, I like all of the PoV characters in the series.

I'm lucky enough to have finished another series a few days ago and got interested in something else that is relatively short so should be done with it before tomorrow. Only issue is if Amazon is going to be shitty with it's shipping as it tends to be recently, still I save like $15 so worth it.

I can't really think of any girly girl main characters, now that I think about it. Vin liked her ballroom clothes, but I wouldn't really call her girly. Hmm.

Do it! say you're sick. Extreme fatigue. Can barely have your brain stick in reality (because it's in Roshar instead).

Luckily I'm not in the middle of anything important. I started reading Red Country (last standalone First Law novel) and it hasn't really been grabbing me. Since I'm not far in I'll probably just start it over again after Oathbringer is done.

Allriane, maybe? Not really a main character until halfway through the first trilogy, though.

It was just one dude, though, with Szeth. Even then his revival was to do with a Herald. I have a feeling we'll get the details of all of that in this book and I can't wait.

Yeah true, i did like her a lot as well. Another gal, she isn't that feminine either, but I freakin' adore Steris.

You forgot non-cosmere books. He released two of the Reckoners books (maybe the story as well) and an Alcatraz book during that time.

Edit: He also released one Legion story.

A lot of shit, lol. Basically the current main plotline is a war between two factions. Story follows a few nobles, a former soldier now slave, and an assassin. World building is awesome, it takes place on a world where giant hurricanes are common occurrence, so all of the life is adapted to live in that situation.
