@@17thShardI am here for Eric’s BAM rant…when nothing Epic happened after she was released I could hear Eric freak out in my head…😂…3 years of hearing Eric talk about BAM does that to us…😂
I read the book in 3 days, took vacations days to do it. I enjoy the journey with the community and the amazing amount of media about Stormlight in general (videos, music, art) and is great. I love the series and continue the journey until the destination. Grettings from Mexico.
Cultivation is master class genius. Maybe giving her too much credit but - SPOILERS - that quote from RoW about Todium being groomed to hold his shard “with honor”, the whole thing with lift being given the boon to “not change” decontextualized in a world that has no stormlight she can still produce her own powers. The whole set up with nightblood kinda working out for the best. She looks away from Todium and that lets him save his family which later plays into his hypocrisy at the end. And last thing - her shard has wanted off Roshar / the contract forever and she pushed Dalinar to seek the histories which ultimately led to the situation where she can leave!!! Idk imo she got everything she wanted
Wait…you’re right. There’s no way she did all of this accidentally, especially the Lift thing. And Honor spends a lot of time talking about how she loves to play from the shadows and yet her Kharbranth move is anything but subtle. It’s actually quite flagrant, unless it was a plan within a plan.
Just wanted to mention that I had my laptop off to the side and had to check the notes a number of times - because I have a weird setup that isn’t at a computer, it means I sometimes need to look away from the camera to get information. Just in case anyone is wondering what I’m doing at certain points where I’m looking offscreen. 😊 - LadyLameness
This is my favourite book now. It had heroes journey, ticking clock, subverted expectation chekhovs gun and. All other writing principles. It did have some downers and weeknesses, but overall it matches the hight if mistborn finale.
Yeah, just finished the book. The implications of this book for the comers are huge, so I can’t wait to hear your guy’s thoughts on this absolute banger.
Everyone just needs to get on the Syladin train at this point. It's definitely the direction he is heading and it's being done very tastefully so I'm happy
I liked this book quite a bit more than the non-Chaos folks. I agree the pacing was pretty good, although there were some clunky transitions to help keep that pace. I definitely liked it better than Rhythm of War, but I agree on first impression it’s not as good as Words of Radiance or Oathbringer. I need more to think about how I evaluate it compared to Way of Kings. I like it better than any non-Stormlight book except for Hero of Ages and maybe Tress.
I seriously haven't been this excited since the first reaction to Rhythm of War. I really, really didn't want baby champion, and KIND OF still got it. I won't be boycotting the rest of Brandon's works like I'd planned, though
While I really enjoyed the Adolin character growth, I felt there was a bit much of it. It really did emphasize the struggle but I felt a bit like I was skimming parts of those sections. Same with some of the Shallan stuff near the end. I just cared about Odium vs Dalinar and Kaladin
I was a psycho who got the book Friday afternoon and finished it Sunday morning. Literally all night Saturday spent reading. Interested in your thoughts
Loved a lot about this book. Adolin carried!!! It’s kinda sadge that the first Zahel chapter spoiled the end of warbreaker. You kind of need to read stormlight last in the cosmere now, but there are positives in that trade off. Not sure how much I liked the nightblood granting szeth surges thing at the end
Good book but the weakest SA overall, enjoyed where all the characters ended up. I definitely feel it was 10-15% too long, and for me personally some parts felt very YA compared to WoK and WoR. Jokes in the early part didn't land. I do feel it seems a bit rushed, I would have preferred less secret projects and more time spent on WoT.
Strap in, this is four hours long. (Reacts 2 could be even longer) -Eric
Perfect 😆
If the the reaction video is shorter than the Audiobook it's clearly rushed.
After the audiobook 4h is just a quick listen :D
Excited!
the dream!
honestly the best part of any sanderson release is 17th shard podcast releases
aaaaaaa hype. can't wait to hear Eric talk about BAM for 4 hours
Well not four hours, but I do have a BAM rant in here! -Eric
@17thShard i hope so she didn't really do anything lol. Can't wait to hear you rant

@@JediBlueDoglots of chatter about her being a huge failure this book but idk that’s too easy… she’s been shown to be nothing but crafty
I feel so empty not waiting for a specific Cosmere project right now, so thank you for the gift of two additional days of hype!

I love that Ian brought his body double

Totally agree.
That guy in the tan shirt is very handsome and has some great opinions.

Sorry I’m always here for Shallan scenes. Her humor can be whatever but love her 😭
Syladan shippers falling to the Chana Stormblessed train
My body i ready.
Excited to see the Syladin converts! Those who do not convert are TRUTHLESS

What about Chana stormblessed b
@@thesnuggler5941 You are TRUTHLESS
@@thesnuggler5941That'd be crazy
Where do we get chana stormblessed? Curious, I've only seen the ship on this. It is just so he finally gets his Shallan? @@thesnuggler5941

Ok am I the only one who was reminded of Sigzil claiming to be one of the “unoathed” to the scientists on Canticle

Oh my god same dude. I started reading at 4pm Friday, fell asleep 2am Saturday, woke up 10am Saturday, and read until 6am Sunday.
Loved a lot about this book. Adolin carried!!!

Not sure how much I liked the nightblood granting szeth surges thing at the end
I can hear the giddiness a day early 😁
Like oda with one piece. LET BRANDON COOK.
Lets goooo can't wait ⛈️
Very excited
Awesome
Why do I keep coming back for the video to magically appear? Even when I know it will come on the 14th WHY????!!!!
Wait is the character 16 backhalf stormlight then?
