THOUGHTS ON: THE COSMERE SERIES

So I said last year about how I was going to be reading the Cosmere books for the first time, one book/series at a time, and I've finally done just that!

So I started with Elantris and it was... eh. Yeah, I can see why this one isn't really talked about much. I didn't even hate it, tbh, but I still found it to be pretty boring overall. I know it was Branderson's first book, though, so I'm willing to cut him some slack here. Hopefully I'll enjoy the sequel more, whenever it comes out.

Next was the original Mistborn trilogy, which I've actually been wanting to read for awhile now! I can certainly see why it's Branderson's most popular work and I myself really liked it, too! Kelsier is probably my favorite character since I love how many layers there are to him. Elend is a close second, and considering what happens to the latter... Yeah...

Speaking of villains, I still can't tell if we're meant to pity Rashek or not due to things like this:

It's calling him "a good man" is what has me thrown off. I know his actions were at least in part due to Ruin's influence, but still! As for Ruin himself, again, I love Chessmaster characters! I do however think I would've preferred it if the Hero of Ages did turn into a tyrant, just because I've always loved this sort of trope, but I'm not too bothered about the twist, either.

So since I finished Era 1, I decided to read Era 2 while I was still on Scadrial, and as someone who's not too fond of Westerns in general, I thought the Wax and Wayne series was okay. I was feeling so bad for Wax throughout it, though! And I'm also really looking forward to the inevitable big crossover that's been teased at this entire time after getting a taste of it in a main book.

And now we come to my favorite of the Cosmere books, Warbreaker! And it's just fun! Really, really fun! Of the PoV storylines, I think I liked Vivenna's arc the most and how determined she was to rescue her sister, but Siri's was still a close second. Favorite character in general, though, Bluefingers. I repeat, I love a good Chessmaster! But more than that, I really liked how sympathetic he was, just trying to free his people, but he and his supporters ended up taking things way too far! Which brings to what is really my only big complaint with the book, and that's how abruptly it seemed to end, especially where the conflict with the Pahn Kahl is concerned, so for better or worse, I really hope their fate gets explored in Nightblood. Which reminds me, I loved the chaotic sword, too!

White Sand was next and it was another story I found to just be alright, both the graphic novel as well as the prose version.

Now comes The Stormlight Archive, another I've been wanting to read for awhile now, though I know it won't be completed for a few years now. I actually read the audiobook to the Prime version of TWoK first, so it was fun to compare it with the official release and I really hope we get more Sanderson Curiosities in the future! All that said, I'm really enjoying the story so far and how grand everything feels, but oof, did these scenes make me cringe:

On one hand, I totally get scolding Kaladin for just automatically assuming the worst of everyone who's a lighteyes and being fed up with his cynicism. At the same time, though, I also really hate how dismissive Shallan comes across in this chapter. At first, I thought that was the intention, but then we get this:

This isn't even the first time I've felt like anger towards oppression was being dismissed in one way or another, btw (again, Warbreaker, my beloved), these are just the moments that stood out to me the most. It'd be one thing if it were just condemning extremists, but when you have scenes like Shallan's talk with Kaladin and... Yeah... Again, I totally get the intention, I just wish the scenes had played out better, because I actually do like Shallan otherwise.

Anyway, I ended up reading Arcanum Unbounded afterwards, as well as Dawnshard, and I liked them just fine. Secret History is probably my favorite of the short stories, and I really hope Nalthis gets a short story eventually. I also received Aether of Night literally yesterday (thank you, 17th Shard!) and it was interesting seeing the similarities between this and other Branderson works, such as Ruin and Decay.

If I had to rank them from favorite to least favorite, it would probably be Warbreaker, The Final Empire, Wax and Wayne, The Stormlight Archive, White Sand, and finally, Elantris.

So yeah, great stories by someone who seems like an overall great guy, I just question some of the writing choices.

Hey um I'm concerned...

"Is this true, fellow Petrikov?"

Something something about the cycle repeating. 👀

#that first line & the way he's so nonchalant about the whole thing strikes me as very suspicious #has this happened before??? Has there been other Simons?#maybe It's just because he's a scientist like PB prime? that's probably what it is; but I'm open to the other possibilities #the way he's just so casual about other Simons existing just strikes me as odd... 👀#is there a timeloop going on??? I stg its either I'm tired or theres some vibes of something bigger going on here #I'm curious about who Prismo's boss is still...#I LOVed the animation style change during winter king simon's musical number; it was gorgeous!#mine #op #adventure time spoilers #adventure time #adventure time fionna and cake #adventure time fionna & cake #fionna and cake #simon petrikov #ice king #winter king #ice simon #ice crown #fionna & cake

(Transformers: Prime Season 1 Episode 21)

I think that through the eyes of a Cybertronian, monster truck rallies closely resemble gladiator fights. Ratchet calls it a “blood sport” and is visibly disgusted by the spectacle, which also leads me to believe that he was against gladiatorial matches on pre-war Cybertron as well. It’s also important to note that given Ratchet’s discomfort for the whole thing, it’s safe to say that Cybertronians likely view a car accident as literal body horror lol

Another random thought:

(Disclaimer- I’m not saying this SHOULD have happened I’m just. Confused.)

Why did Jasnah betrothe Shallan & Adolin, where Adolin is the most eligible bachelor in Alethkar basically and they have a SIX YEAR AGE GAP. (shallan is 17 adolin is 23 NEVER forget this.)

And not— Renarin. Two year age gap. Shallan would still be tied to the family.

Did Jasnah like sense his gayness or what.

#LIKE IM NOT SAYING THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED #I JUST WANNA KNOW THE LINE OF THIBKING #also why did Adolin have to be 23 #better yet why did shallan have to be 17 #in way of kings prime kaladin shallan & renarin #were ALL the same age #born in the same year #shallan did NOT have to be 17 #‘it’s to show how young shallan was when this all happen-‘#we acknowledge that with Kaladin. we was so young when he saw his brother die & war and shit #shallan. DID N O T. have to be seventeen #i have no problem with her being seventeen its more the fact she was casually paired with a 23 y/o #‘things were diff-‘#ITS A FANTASY WORLD.#his brain is almost fully developed and shes SEEVENTENDEN #stormlight archive #cosmere #the stormlight archive #brandon sanderson #shallan davar #adolin kholin #renarin kholin #edit: in WOKP they were all like 19??#another edit: THE GAY THING IS A JOKE IK THAT WASNT THEREASON PLEASSEE

Questioner: Do you ever call Kaladin "Merin"?

Brandon Sanderson: I don't, actually, which is a little odd for me because I still, once in a while, slip up and use silver instead of tin, and some of these other things. But I don't ever call Kaladin "Merin." They feel really distinct to me, and even though they basically started as the same character, they've become very different characters.

I do misspell Dalinar, now and then. 'Cause I've spelled Dalinar three or four different ways, since I was a teenager, coming up with this character and developing him. I said it always Dalinar, but sometimes Dalenar, sometimes Dalinar, sometimes with an "er" at the end. I get it right nowadays almost all the time, but first draft, Peter had to do a lot of work tweaking some misspelled Dalinars.

"She has a personal... vendetta with my existence, I guess." - Starscream, about his rascal sparkling hating him with a passion equivalent to his hate for Megatron.

HOW FAR I FELL, HOW FAAAR? This far 💥. Welcome to 'DETTA! The offspring of Predaking and Starscream on my silly interpretation of them. TBH I'm not a person used to making "fanchilds" of my canon favs (the only one I have is shared with a friend @novalizinpeace . I'm more like a Godmother to the kiddo haha) mostly because even if I enjoy children's media I don't see myself wanting to have one of my own x'D. BUT, LISTEN! If I gonna give kiddos to one of my shipping fixations, it's to these two! BECAUSE I CAN 💚. ... And because is hilarious to me to make old Screamer handle a little Mini-Him but predacon flavored x'D. FEAT SHOCKWAVE BECAUSE he is the "uncle" of the kiddo and Detta loves him, to make Starscream's predicament more fun pfff. I wanted to have this off my system so I HOPE NOW MY BRAIN CAN FOCUS ON FINISHING THE ACTUAL STUFF I need to do skdfhskdjgfhgdsf.

reading the opening chapter of the way of kings prime as a renarin girl is playing devil's advocate. Your honour, I do not know this man, but I am in love with his alternate self, so he is innocent.
