I was so impressed by the quality of merchandise Dragonsteel put out for the convention this year. The Bridge Four blanket is huge, warm, and so soft and well made.

I am curious what is the feeling so far about this book.

Personally, I think it is run-of-the-mill Sanderson writing. The book is quite different but same style.

The story though is "meh" to me. I enjoyed it. Lot of reveals of the mystery in all the previous books.

Im sure the 17th-Shard folks are going to be busy for the next 2 to 4 years trying to get through this one :-D

Good ol BrandoSando has screwed the community again. First, he announces the secret project and promises us new stories. Then, he "boycotts" amazon with JUST THESE COMMUNITY FUNDED STORIES. Now, he's making money on books we bought without letting us utilize the accessibility features we've come to expect from his other work unless we pay him again.

Tl;Dr Brandon Sanderson is an exploitative greed monster that swallowed 43 million dollars and is hungry for more. Do not buy Brandon Sanderson products until this betrayal is addressed.

Has anyone read thoroughly DragonSteel and WayOfKings both as Prime-versions as well as the normal canonical versions?

Someone managed to grab a screenshot of the pricing before Backerkit imploded

It looks like the website is being crushed to death by all of us currently though =/

Is there such a thing as a list of the Cosmere books by series? Everything I’ve found so far either lists them book by book, with pictures and other bumf, or is just a chronological B list with all the non-Cosmere books jumbled in.

Essentially, I like to compile a bullet-pointed list in my notes app for my favourite authors and for a universe as complex as this, I’d like to have all the Mistborn listed under one subheading, Stormlight under another, etc, etc. I’m a bit anal about these things, and I like to be able to check them off and know I’ve got them all.

I’m sure it’s out there somewhere, just itching for me to come along and copy and paste it! Thanks in advance
