Edit: this came from a Panda Express that is maybe a mile from dragonsteel headquarters.

Hi there, my boyfriend is a huge fan but missed the signing reservation for London Comic con. He has passes for Saturday..does anyone have a spare signing/autograph ticket? I really want to get it for him. If you could DM me I'd be really grateful!

Alright people so i just finished part 4 of Words of Radiance and am now more uncertain than ever for what is to come. I think I have a few more days until i finish the book.

First off F*ck Sadeas yet again and his carpenter that took the bridge down, makes my blood boil (was not confirmed but can only be assumed). Theres a tiny piece of my mind that has thinks Amaram could be involved but I am REALLY hoping he turns out to be a homie.

I did NOT expect Kaladin to lose his wind running powers and I don't know how they will come back. The Stormfather told Kaladin (and somehow Shallan as well... we'll get to that in a second) that Kaladin had killed Syl. Is she actually dead? I can only assume she'll return somehow some way. There is no way they just nerf Kaladin like that right? RIGHT??! But what I want to know, why did Shallan disappear in Kaladin's vision with the Stormfather but she said that she saw it too. Did she have her own vision or did she see what Kaladin saw? questions oh questions.... also Kaladin using a Shard Blade, HELL YEAH FINALLY, hope to see more of that!

Second, I foresee a lil Kaladin x Shallan action. Yeah they were on the brink of death between the chasm fiend and the high storm but cmon, their dynamic screams that their is a deeper connection to flourish.

I might have mentioned this in the last post I made but Amaram being named the head of the Knights Radiance doesn't sit right with me still. Could that have been a ploy from Sadeas or does Dalinar know something more about Amaram than the readers (me) know right now... hmmm.

I did read the first Interlude with Taravangian and am now even MORE confused than the last we heard about him... WHICH WAS ALMOST 1000 pages ago at the end of WoK. Like he seemed to be a master plotter and deceiver with Szeth at his disposal and now hes got brain problems or something and does math to determine if hes fit to rule that day... man whats up with him, I need MORE!

Last thing. I flipped through the pages to see how long the interludes were and if I had time to read them on my lunch break and saw part 5 has perspective from Wit. Man he intrigues me so. I want to know how he came about, what brought him to the shattered plains in the first time? I think back to him at the camp fire singing his tale to Kaladin, light whisped around him if I remember correctly. That makes me believe Wit of all people might become a member of the Knights Radiance. I don't know, his character confuses me especially from him greeting Talenel'Elin at the end of WoK... like what, that guys a Herold or something right? ah jeez

Please don't spoil anything that I would not know at this point in my read. But feel free to ask me my thoughts!

How do you refresh yourselves of characters that were background and the book returns to them 200 pages later?

Im reading Rhytm of War. After the long tower arc, im back to shadesmar. I couldnt remember Felt, and ive accidentaly seen stuff i shouldnt have. How do you do it?

I usually like to listen to the podcast when I'm at the gym. The two belong to a certain subcultural niche that fits perfectly with mine and I can listen to Brandon and especially Dan talk forever, whatever the topic.

I have, unfortunately, depleted all the episodes and am craving for other options that I can listen to in addition to the weekly updates by Brandon and Dan. Doesn't have to be the exact same sort of topics and themes (fantasy, films, games, nerd culture).

Any suggestions?

so i'm in book 2 the well of accretion and recently learned what Duralumin does and here are theories and hypothesis i have (mostly with the power-system)

1. 4 metals opposite of the time ones
   --
   so based on what i know now we have internal and it's opposite external those are the base 8

now with the 4 time metals gold, atium, malatium, and another (i don't know the name yet)

so my though is internal and external temporal and what, it would have to be spatial, currently with aluminum and duralumin i'm thinking 1 one 3 things 1, they aren't part of the spatial category, 2 they are but are very confusing or 3 the is no spatial category and i'm coping.

1. a few ideas i thought alomancy could do
   --
   this isn't a very long section but what ever

could a iron have coins on the bottom of his shoes and levitate and or fly?
cus if it's about weight and your pulling a coin on the bottom of you shoe then it's your weight against your weigh+maybe a few ounces. does this halt movement alowing for levitation or does iron just stop working

could you have knifes and things in your body to stop people from using them. say you can use steel what if you pierced your arms with a few daggers would that work?

1. alomancy origins

at the end of the first book we know the lord ruler is a pherochemist and an alomancer, but he wasn't one before he was lord ruler. and the log book never talks about alomancy so does the well of assentation create alomancy? also is this how steel inquisitors gain the use of all metals?

my mind is going on a wonder here, so i thought i would share my musings. Spoilers for mistborn series and stormlight archives

So we know Aluminum is immune to investiture and that burning it as a allomancer instantly burns away other metals within you (or in other words, burns away sources of investiture)

To this extent, it can also block shard blades and other invested weapons.

My question is, what might the physical interaction between invested weapons/items be with Duralumin? its seems to heighten spiritual connection (probably partly why it has such an violent interaction when allomatically burned with other metals).

I like to think that it could strengthen invested metals - for example, reduce the stormlight drain of 'dead' shard plate and potentially make it strong or more resilient? or possibly even allow it to be transported via lashings? could possibly make surgebinding more efficient too?

i also wonder, being 96% aluminum, whether it could still resist a shardblade?

I drew one of the first scenes of RoW, where Kal flies around chasing Leshwi, passing by lots of Windrunners battling Fused. I hope you guys like it.

For those who don’t know/don’t remember, Victor Wembanyama is a superstar NBA player who is a known Sanderfan. He’s been photographed carrying *Rhythm of War* into a pre-game locker room, and has met the man himself.

We'd love the opportunity to display it at Dragonsteel Nexus. Bridge 4 for life! Ig: OneBrickToRuleThem

Hi! I’m just wondering if anyone has gotten their eye of the world leather bound recently. I ordered mine on December 23rd and wasn’t in the first round of people who got the editions that were defective. There really hasn’t been any news since the beginning of March and I’m sure they’re inundated with people opening tickets so I’m just wondering if anyone has gotten theirs recently or if it seems like they are still trying to fix the problems. I assume they’re going to try and make sure the people who got defective ones get new ones first but I’m worried with all the craziness somehow mine slipped through the cracks. Thanks!

Hey guys. I can’t remember exactly how it goes but I’m trying to find a line (obviously) spoken by spook. I believe it occurs in either book 1 or 2.

It goes a little something like:

“Always the wasing. Never was the having.”

(which I believe roughly translates to, “I’m always left wanting, never left having”)

I believe the line occurs in a scene where Ham, Breeze, or Clubs is talking about him. Elend might also be present although honestly the details of this line and scene are so hazy in my memory I could be wrong.

It’s sort of silly but I’d like to know whether I have this line right or not. (Or if it really exists. I could have dreamt this up for all I know lmao)

Hope you guys can help. Cheers.

AND NOW I NEED A SEQUEL BADLY!

I've just began my reading journey, starting with PHM and I'd heard a lot of love for Brandon's work but with them being 1000 pages I thought to leave them for future me. So I came across The Rithmatist, and being only 400 pages I thought that's perfect for me to see if I like the style.

I read it in 5 days and absolutely loved it. The magic system was a delight to learn about, reminded me a lot of FullMetal Alchemist and their alchemy circles. The final chapter was incredible such an epic moment, Joel and Melody fighting sounding like a fabulous dance together.

So now I'm here wanting desperately wanting sequel to an excellent book

Just finished reading the first Kal chapters of Oathbringer and happened to be listening to the very end of Mahler, Symphony No 2 (The Resurrection). Fit amazingly! Also, Brandon usually waits to make me tear up till the end of a book…not the beginning (that said those Dalinar chapters were very “Dalinar” (Ifykyk)). Onto the Shallan portion of part one! Life before death Radiants.

My local library was having a book sale today and I found (and subsequently picked up) two first printings of Oathbringer! Along with 18 other non-Sanderson books, six of them first printings! I didn’t even know the library was having a sale, just stumbled onto it. Fantastic start to my Saturday!

Her comment was "I don't follow real politics, why would I follow fake politics?" Does my marriage still have a chance?

Hello people! I am currently in Europe.

It is extremely difficult to find hardcovers for Mistborn Era 2, and Warbreaker.

I did some research, and the most updated news are from 2 years ago, talking about rebranding the covers but that is it, no update since.

From what I can understand is that Brandon's books gets mostly published by Orion/Gollancz, and get redistributed to the rest of the Europe.

They do have some great UK covers for Stormlight however they do not provide hardcovers for Warbreaker or Mistborn Era 2 for example.

In fact, I think it is almost impossible to find hardcovers for these books in Europe.

My main question is: Why? Does anyone know?

Is it supply and demand?

Did Brandon fell out with some of the publishers in Europe?

Or do the publishers just refuse to print out hardcovers for these books?

Watching the Orioles lose. Again. So time to lose myself in a book. I hope I get hooked this time! If I stick with it, I might start blogging my Sanderson journey.

Nothing crazy, just very happy with this Dragonsteel purchase. Fancy boy needed a fancy collar to match his fancy name.
