Anyways, I am getting through Edgedancer. I like the non-serious tone this book has compared to TWoK and WoR. I just got to Chapter 3. Cool to see Lift navigate through Roshar with Wyndle with her 'Awesomeness.'

Honestly I think that series just has too many loose plot threads and it'd be a herculean effort to sort them all at this point let alone wrap them up in a way that fits the GRRM books.

When is the "right time" to take the Knights Radiant quiz? I remember taking it in the past, though I don't know what my results were. Also, almost done with Edgedancer and Nale is such a good antagonist. There's nothing that makes my blood boil more than people who are super rigid about the law.

I think it's probably OK to take it again now if you want, but you just might not totally have a feel for some of the Orders. Mordiceius posted:That's interesting. It was first for me.

Well it seems like not much has changed.  Guess I'm pretty secure in my order now. And can't say that I'm upset with sharing an order with my favorite character. Amusingly my two favorite characters end up being both ends of my spectrum.

Abercrombie's stuff is really good too and definitely worth reading when you need a change of pace, although it's quite a bit darker and he doesn't crank them out at the rate Brandon does (although I'm not sure anyone does).

Edgedancer - Chapter 12 Mr. Sanderson, why are you using the illustration of a man's dick tip to describe a building? Jesus Christ... Out of left field, too. I could not stop laughing at that for about 5 minutes.

I finished Edgedancer. That was a fun read. Life and Wyndle seem to be a fun duo. Which order will she fall under? Guess I will have to read to find out. Also, Nale is a broken man who doesn't want to be inherently evil. Now, it's time to start the beefy boy Oathbringer.

Also, Nale is a broken man who doesn't want to be inherently evil. What Orders do you know so far? Spoiler based on information you already know from Lift's Words of Radiance Interlude and the book Edgedancer. She's an Edgedancer.

Tunicate posted:here's the post about the audible negotiations, looks like he's improved things a bit for everyone I have a lot of respect for Brandon for this kind of work that he is putting in. It would be very easy for him to just crank out books, do convention circuits, sell merch, and then leave it at that. Hell, that's what most authors do. But to use his clout to try to improve things for everyone - especially small, indie/starting authors, is a super respectable thing imo.
