M_Gargantua posted:Yeah the newspaper clippings replace the epigraphs and are very thematic that Era 2 is like 1890's turn of the century. I do love looking for little Cosmere clues in them too. I'll spoiler this as someone's reading it now, Someone put out an ad looking for Nightblood or other awakened items in one of them. Something like "Do you have something that talks to you? Pot telling you to cook something?Knife telling you to hunt criminals? Come on down and talk to us about it." Pretty sure it was the same person who was involved in the Arcanums, and who danced with Wax and was curious about the physics of his abilities but I forget her name.

I wish that more fandom wikis had buttons or checkboxes that you could click that would adjust the amount of spoilers accordingly.

KKKLIP ART posted:I wish that more fandom wikis had buttons or checkboxes that you could click that would adjust the amount of spoilers accordingly. Yeah. I really wish all wikis would keep the base pages pretty spoiler free and then break the spoilers down by book. Like you shouldn't start out a wiki page with "Kelsier was the leader of the skaa rebellion until he was killed by the Lord Ruler."

The Gardenator posted:Stay away from those wiki pages, a wiki on kelsier would spoil a lot of books for you. Totally. That’s why I’m just staying in this thread (and am constantly bombarding it with thoughts and questions). Wiki pages should be just a general description of a person/place/item/concept with breakout sections for each book where it is important/referenced. It drives me crazy when the very first sentence is massive spoilers. This also happens a lot when some characters are referred to in present tense and others are in past tense.

apparently some of the people behind the coppermind wiki are working on a framework for doing book-by-book nospoiler wikis in general, we'll see if anything comes of it

Well of Ascension chapters 17/18 At first it seemed like Zane wanted to gently caress Vin (maybe he does) but then just lol at the start of 18 “Zane was Elend’s brother” just dropping that casually out of nowhere. I appreciate Zane’s character already because I’ve been wondering why Mistborn were so willing to be followers. Why hasn’t one tried to lead a nation themselves? Seems better than a normal man. Also, I appreciate that Sanderson didn’t drag out that reveal. I felt like I only had a little more patience left with “mysterious watcher” character. It was the perfect time for the reveals.

There were folks up thread that said some distributed released early. I have my hardcover ordered, but I did do a quick Google on the usual suspect online ebook places and didn’t see any which kind of surprises me to be honest. I know I could read preview chapters but I’d rather have kindle format or my hardcover.

The Well of Ascension might be a bit weaker than The Final Empire but there are two things I look forward to: 1 - Straf getting loving wrecked. He is such an amazing "I love to hate him" villain. I don't know how he'll die (I assume he'll die by the end of the book) but holy gently caress will it be satisfying. gently caress that guy. I love every moment he's in the story. gently caress him. 2 - Jastes getting hosed up by the koloss. Dude is clearly a tremendous loving moron and completely in over his head. I hope he's torn apart. Only other alternative is it ending with him begging Elend to save/protect him and becoming a loving joke to everyone. I'd rather he die. Jastes feels like he is basically:

I was just reading Tor's "quick and dirty recap" of the first 3 books and mannnn I forgot that (OB) Moash killed Jezrien. I've been thinking more about what I want to see in RoW, and subsequently Book #5 but it's just so hard to narrow it down to a meaningfully small list. I just want more of everything. I need to know all of the things.

Yeaaa I'm gonna abandon ship tomorrow morning. Although I guess I'll have to bookmark the thread filtered to only show Mord's posts so I can keep up on the First Time Mistborn series  I'll probably continue to post hot takes but likely won't read any responses

I raced through it like a madman after only 4 hours of sleep, and I have a lot of thoughts to write about. But I won't even risk accidentally spoiling anybody here for a few days. But this book is sooo good, especially if you're a fan of the wider Cosmere. And the epigraphs are again really cool, plus new chapter icons! Brandon once again delivered a masterpiece. This isn't even really a spoiler, but the reveals and plot twists in this book top everything that came before it. And I absolutely believe you need to have at least read the Mistborn books plus Warbreaker to fully understand some rather important revelations, but stuff from Elantris and Taldain and Threnody has quite some significance for a few plot beats as well.
