No joke here. I just think stuff like this is interesting.

We are.

It’s what happens when you take dry British humor, concentrate it like a cup of tea run in the microwave until almost all of the water evaporates out and add daily mortal risk from our fellow countrymen.

I wondered why your name struck me as familiar.

Which order is your favorite and why?

[–] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Truthwatchers would be my first choice because I like to understand the true nature of things, to create new things, and that power should be wielded carefully and with proper intention.

I think Dustbringers fits my tinkerer and strong feelings about the concept that those with greater power need to exercise greater control.

You?

I think that Elsecallers are my favorite. I love Jasnah and it seems to be all about self improvement, growth mindset and gaining wisdom.

I'm not sure what my second favorite would be. Windrunners are pretty cool, tough choice.

It is. I’m re-reading the Stormlight archive now in anticipation of the next book

I got into the series very late, like SA: 4 was out - so I'm still catching up through all of his previous works. I just finished Mistborn era 1 (I think, I don't know where era 2 starts but I'm assuming it's post-Harmony). There's just something about Stormlight Archives though, it tickles me in a way Mistborn has not (not to say I disliked them, I just fucking love Kaladin).

Yeah, era 2 is 300 or so years later. It has a lighter tone than the first era. Not that it can’t be heavy.

It’s funny reading statements by Harmony in Stormlight and thinking “ha! I know who that is”
