It is recommended that you do not hold this book with one hand. Your wrist could snap.
You fool! You think I have not been training for this exact purpose? That reading Branderson’s brickbooks for the last seven years has all been for naught? Nay, I tell you! I am ready.
“Tresting froze as one of the skaa looked up. The man met Tresting’s eyes, a spark - no, a fire - of defiance showing in his expression. Tresting had never seen anything like it, not in the face of a skaa. Tresting stepped backward reflexively, a chill running through him as the strange, straight-backed skaa held his eyes.
And smiled.”

Now that I’ve finished Rhythm of War I’m officially caught up on the cosmere so I’m beginning my reread, starting with the first Mistborn book. As I’m reading, I’m going through and marking all of the scenes that stood out to me. I probably won’t draw all of them (at least not this reread) but I’ll be drafting out my favorites. Let me know if there’s a scene or character you’d really like to see!
Finally I can reveal this! I was honored to draw a RoW mock cover as a special gift for those awesome beta/gamma readers. It was challenging but also a lot of fun! I really enjoyed it =)
Front cover: Navani
Back cover: Venli & Rlain
(The cool-looking alternate book jacket is not for sale, unfortunately, though you can watch for Dragonsteel’s updates. I heard they might use it as giveaways, but not a promise! I’m still waiting for my copies to arrive XD)
Still not over the fact that Kelsier is Thaidakar.
I haven’t joined or read any discussions on RoW before so had no idea on the different theories and such so this was legit my face the moment I Realized ™
I am proud to say that I predicted this happening. I believe my post said something along the lines of “lmao what if Kelsier was Thaidakar?”
If you had to pick one Cosmere book to read over and over, which one would it be and why?
Mine would be Alloy of Law. It’s always been my favorite one and I enjoy every single chapter. I love that it’s fun- a lot of Cosmere books are super heavy and sometimes I’m in the mood for that but Alloy of Law is just a good old western fantasy gun-slinging adventure with heavy undertones and I love that about it.
I’m still not off the Rhythm of War high so that’s the first answer that comes to mind. Also because Navani is one of my favorite characters. Plus all the twists and turns. It was really great.
The fact that Harmony is going on and on about how if someone else picked up the Odium shard they would still be a problem is like…. Yes… We already knew that… I’m certain Hoid should also know that too… Why are you telling us
1.) Is anyone else in love with Steris or is that just me and Wax?
2.) would investiture on Roshar be Stormlight or the Nahel bond or am I misunderstanding?
3.) Does Wayne have a british accent and Wax an American one? Is Brando trying to pass off American as “posh”?
4.) So only people born with allomantic abillity or people taken by the shaod have investiture, or does everyone have it and only these people can access it?

Investiture is not something you have, it’s more something you can access so I guess yes everyone has the ability to access it. “Many methods of accessing Investiture have been observed throughout the cosmere">whossmashedguitar:

Investiture is not something you have, it’s more something you can access so I guess yes everyone has the ability to access it. “Many methods of accessing Investiture have been observed throughout the cosmere , but all share certain cardinal similarities; an established Connection or ability to create a Connection to a source of power and a way of directing that power.” There are ways to become an allomancer outside of having a family line. Stormlight Archive’s magic has no bloodlines what so ever, it’s purely a bond between human and spren.
