Speaking of Sanderson writing about relationships, new (non-cosmere) novella comes out today. Perfect State quote:God-Emperor Kairominas is lord of all he surveys. He has defeated all foes, has united the entire world beneath his rule, and has mastered the arcane arts. He spends his time sparring with his nemesis, who keeps trying to invade Kai’s world.

Strumpy posted:If I ranked them with Harry Potter being at 1 and asofai being 10, I think I would put storm light right in the middle at 5. It's no where near as gritty, but the story is more complex with deeper motivations for characters and a more interesting story structure (interleaved flashbacks that slowly reveal character backstory, as well as often being thematically suited to the current time events). I would agree with it being about even with Wheel of Time in grittiness, with WoT being slightly ahead.

Taffer posted:Was Edgedancer edited post-release? I'm going through it as part of my re-read right now, and the narrators voice sounds slightly different, and there seem to be way fewer instances of "awesomeness" than I remember from last time. Overall the annoying factor seems way reduced, but I'm not sure if it's my imagination. I felt the same way with the Szeth Prologue from WoK. On my first read it felt over explainy like a video game tutorial on how lashings work as he goes through the level to the boss fight. This time I barely noticed that. Same with Edgedancer, did not feel awkward the same way I remember when I first read it.
