Questioner: What's a character you thought would be more liked or popular, if you have one?
Brandon Sanderson: Oh boy, I don't know about that. I mean, I do think that the original version of Chet, from Cytonic, people would like more, and they HATED him, which is why I ripped him out and rewrote the book entirely.
That's one of the worst reactions I've had to a character - but, of course, that why I have beta reads, and alpha reads. When I flub up that big, then I want to know it before the book comes out, right?
Generally I have a pretty good instinct.
And it's odd, in book series, if you have multiple viewpoints, there will always be more variance in what people think of the characters. For instance, in Skyward, generally the characters are just not as divisive.
But in Elantris or Stormlight, where the character you love - other characters are pulling you away from, to tell their stories - you will generally, whoever that character is that you love, resent the other ones a little bit more than you would in a single-viewpoint narrative.
But that does make people kind of like the character they like even more, it's one of those things.

Reading the cytoverse is just yelling at Spensa for different reasons

I was going through Goodreads, and I came across this book. Does anyone know if it's part of Skyward legacy or something else
I'm a bit out of date with the news of the saga
