Nonsense like this is why I went digital about five minutes after I bought my first iPad and have never looked back. I can have two bookshelves filled to overflowing with books to the extent that I can't find half my books because they're behind the other half, all the shelves are bowing under the weight, and I can't even buy more anymore because where will I put them, or I can carry around one tablet the size of a magazine that is every single book I own, I can put on another thousand books and it'll still be exactly the same size and weigh the same, and it also glows in the dark? Hmm. Hmmm.

but but but ~physical paper~

Hoid was present but seemingly not pro-Shattering.


There's a good chance you know more than me and may well be correct, but my impression was he wasn't necessarily anti-shattering, he just didn't want to take a shard

The name is "Oroden," actually.

Thanks for that. I read the quoted post post and was like "drat I don't remember that at all, and it's not even that long since I read the books, maybe I'm even older and more senile than I thought"

Turns out no, the op's just dyslexic or something, which sucks for them but at least it's not me :v:

Rofl. Yeah. Don't even get me started on the Radiants and "leveling up"


Also - I'm not talking about this stuff as a negative. I loving love this poo poo.

I love how radiants not only level up, they get an honest to god loving level up animation with a rune appearing on the ground around them, and a boost to full health and mana

Final Empire was my first Sanderson, and I'm still not over how cool Steel Inquisitors were. (Minor spoilers by implication) Especially before it was explained how they got their powers. I dig the whole Sanderson thing of magic having rules, but they did lose their awesome mystique of just being unkillable badasses with spikes through their eyes and creepy smiles

Read the Prologue and Chapter 1 of Alloy of Law

I'm going to enjoy this series. Guns. Speed bubbles. Robberies. Trains. Skyscrapers. An Aussie. I like it.

Wait, who was the Aussie? You don't mean Wayne do you? He's clearly a Cockney Londoner
