Is that a polite way of saying, “You know nothing, Jon Snow!”
Sorry, still having a GOT hangover!

I don’t want to stop reading but it’s 4 am now, so have to stop! Night all! :)

I have a friend to thank for introducing Sanderson to me :D

I actually think I enjoyed the middle section of the book the most. The ending was good but some parts were really drawn out while others went by way to fast in my opinion. I didn't..."
Well well, you will need to spot the easter eggs, when they come ;)

Btw, thanks for reading our updates and answering our questions! Please feel free to recommend any other book by Sanderson - I promise I’ll read just about anything. :)

I found it ranging between 3.5 to 3.75 and ended up rating it 3.75🌟. 3.5 would have confused me more because I would have definitely rounded down the rating to the lower denomination ..."
I get so frustrated with the rating system on goodreads sometimes... I never know where to put the books! But I agree, it definitely feels more like a 4 then a 3 star read.
(view spoiler)
Yes, I love buddy reading! It's been so fun.

Well, Vasher wasn’t (view spoiler)

I know I’m guilty, but how can I not compare two books by the same author taking place in the same Cosmos. I just can’t help!

You should read Elantris

Nightblood is one of the very invested entites in Cosmere. If one were to find out how to make blades like Nightblood, it would almost be catastrophic. We will know more in the next book. While it has no release date, the title is "Nightblood" :D

Following Brandon for the last three years, I am confident that the sequel of Warbreaker will come, but no one knows when.
Oh, btw every year in December he publishes something called "state of the sanderson" detailing about the status of all his books and the future projects.
ELANTRIS, WARBREAKER, RITHMATIST
As you probably expected, no motion here. I didn’t plan for there to be any this year, though all three should get a sequel eventually. I’ve been targeting the post-Stormligh-Five timeline for these. I could see slipping Rithmatist 2 in between Mistborn Era 3 books, for example, when I need a break.
Status: No motion (Sorry again.)
Post Stormlight five = 2023+

I know, no pressure right? 😉
[spoilers removed]"
Ah, no pressure! I am confident that you all will see it when it comes :)

You should add the mistborn era 1 trilogy (Mistborn 1-3), starting with The Final Empire.

Off to google now, I ask far too many questions.

Totally agree!

You should read the first three, atleast before Oathbringer. I read them after WoR and at that point, I didnt feel it would have made much difference if I read before it.
So far, I have read till book 6 in Mistborn, I am yet to read Secret History and a couple of Cosmere stories from Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection. I guess I can tell you more after I finish Secret History.

At first I just felt like Vivenna's chapters were just boring. Now, she's just annoying the hell out of me. She claims to know she's arrogant and a hypocrite but then she continues to be so anyway?? Like it took her all of two seconds getting off the streets before she decided she wasn't 'that' woman. She was more bearable when Denth was still around but then that betrayal.... Yeah don't like her AT ALL. Apparently, needed to get that off my chest. (hide spoiler)]
Here's my theory on what's happening (probably nothing about this is right but that's okay haha):
(view spoiler)[ Hoid mentioned these Kalad's Phantoms, a sort of new form of Lifeless. The Peacemaker overthrew him, casting these phantoms out and then gave his breath to the priests. He said they had to protect it but not use it right? So maybe this breath is actually the Phantom, a twisted sort of force (like Nightblood?). Maybe they store it in the GodKing and then cutting out his tongue so that it can't be used. However, Seb mentioned that he doesn't take the breaths to survive.. so maybe he actually has to take them in order to control this force? Maybe if he doesn't get this breath he'll become this evil sort of force? Something that wants violence?
Maybe Denth wants to get this force out of the GodKing somehow. Maybe that's why he wants to attack the Court of Gods? And wants to gain control over it? That's why tries to provoke the war? That could be what Lightsong is seeing in his visions.
Also, Denth's real name is the same as the high priest of the Godking? Just with 'vara' or something before it... coincidence? I'm beginning to think Sanderson doesn't do coincidence 😛 (hide spoiler)]
