Brando Sando definitely delivers to all of us fans. I loved OathBringer and Way of Kings story. This book I enjoyed it but story-wise I thought it was run-of-the-mill for a mid-way point for the entire series. I can't wait for the 6 - 10 books :-D

Please dont use the Disney crapware "StarWars" more like "StarWarts"

Kathleen Kennedy and Dismal Disney can go take a hike.

Rey Palpatine is Complete Raw Sewage.

StarWars & SW-EU already has plenty of girl-bosses extremely well-written.

For example, Princess Leia, Mon Mothma AND MARA JADE.

I want to state that Dismal Disney StarWars has been repeatedly ruined by garbage writing and garbage storytelling and multiple "member-berries" and the pox known as Kathleen Kennedy.

Disney destroyed decades of storytelling by renowned authors such as R.A.Salvatore, Timothy Zahn and others.

High Republic and whatever shite that they've written and published so far is utter garbage. Hasn't sold well.

Skeleton Crew and the "Goonies" tropes and the reverse "Treasure Island/Planet/Location" is not a bad premise to start the series, kind of like its a "kids" show, "kid" friendly, but not "family" centric with single parents everywhere who have abrogated their responsibilities as parents by "working very hard". Part of parenting is to provide a stable AND attentive environment for kids. You don't work yourself to death leaving your kids to whimsy and the winds and strangers to take care of them or brainwashing them.

It is a good idea fucked up by brainless writing.

There is a significant problem with media-reporting and scientific-studies being vetted for accuracy and peer-reviews.

Plastics are organic polymerized compounds usually I think that fall under Alkyl, isoprenes, monomers ?

Rubbers are organic polymerized compounds usually under elastomers / neoprenes / butadienes ?

We NEED more nuance and not fearmongering,scaremongering and FUD about the man-made pollutants.

Rubber pollution is a thing and plastics pollution is also a thing. How do we deal with each of them may require DIFFERENT strategies and NOT CRAZY-SHIT.

I am curious what is the feeling so far about this book.

Personally, I think it is run-of-the-mill Sanderson writing. The book is quite different but same style.

The story though is "meh" to me. I enjoyed it. Lot of reveals of the mystery in all the previous books.

Im sure the 17th-Shard folks are going to be busy for the next 2 to 4 years trying to get through this one :-D

Wind and Truth Spoiler

Book is not at all about grand battles and finales, does it have a Sanderlanche ? 
For a mid-way point to the entire Stormlight Archive series of 10-books does it really deliver?

Insurance pays out until outcome and not treatment. Meaning of they don't cure you, insurance will have to cover until you die.

And if they kill you while trying to cure you, every care provider in the chain pays 10-times the cost (total insurance paid by patient over all the years) based on liability to the family else insurance pays 20-times total insurance cost to family.

:: Spoiler discussion on DragonSteel Prime and also Way Of Kings Prime (self.brandonsanderson)

submitted 9 months ago by maniii to c/[email protected]

Has anyone read thoroughly DragonSteel and WayOfKings both as Prime-versions as well as the normal canonical versions?

spoiler

Spoiler WayOfKings Prime seems to be better than DragonSteel Prime.

     I found DragonSteel Prime kind of not a very good or even cohesive storyline compared to the WayOfKings Prime. 

      WayOfKings-Prime reads almost like if someone tried to "Hollywood"-ify BrandoSando's WoK without really reading anything about Cosmere.

      But DragonSteel-Prime reads like some crazy drunk person tried to combine Pug/Magician and BelGarion/Belgariad(David Eddings )  and some more fantasy settings. 

      I want more of these stories, the first drafts and the final editions !  It is very very fascinating how each story got revised, cut, re-written, re-arranged, etc.
