I am here, patiently waiting on new material

I'm here to fight the good fight. Huge Sanderson fan. Really wish we could get the progression fantasy subs here too, but that's a pipe dream at the moment.

[–] c0mpufreak@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Cradle! Have yet to read the final book but man that series made me fall in love with progression fantasy :) Any other recommendations?

[–] AllegedHoister@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Definitely check out Dungeon Crawler Carl if you haven't yet! I think it's easily right up there with Cradle as some of the best stuff in the genre

I am here.

As soon as I finish Discworld, I'm going back to the Cosmere.

Love the Cosmere! Though I've fallen a bit behind, need to finally get to Wax&Wayne 4 and Tress after finishing my Cradle reread lol

Yup! Title is The Lost Metal, it came out late last year I think

What is it we value? Innovation. Originality. Novelty. But most importantly...timeliness.

Also I'm an anime girl now, deal with it. I let Design browse the internet unsupervised ONE TIME and now she won't stop making me look like her waifu of the week.

Alright alright jokes aside I'm not gonna make this into a gimmick account lol

I came across this earlier - not sure if Lemmy is quite big enough for it but always good to find more Cosmere fans https://lemmy.ml/c/cosmere

Are you me? I woke up today thinking "I should go to the fantasy community I found and make a post about finding Cosmere people". Yesssss!

I just finished another reread of the Stormlight Archive. It still surprises me that I spot new things and form new theories after so many reads. I'd love to talk about them but I haven't found spoiler tags yet 😅

[–] amarnasmoths 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Besides spoiler tags we need the dedicated communities too! Cremposting is my home hahah. Have you read the Secret Projects?

[–] Foon@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have! I've read all published cosmere works. I'm keeping myself blind to SP 3 and 4 though!

I'm really excited for the SP2 hardcover to get here. My friends already got theirs, I'm a bit jealous. I did read the ebook, I went a bit up and down with how much I liked it, but in the end I really enjoyed reading it. How about you?

[–] amarnasmoths 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm keeping myself blind to SP3 and 4 too! The covers of the first two projects were awesome, and I expect a similar quality for the remaining ones. I read SP2 on eBook too, and sadly I didn't enjoy it. The whole idea was great, but I didn't like the pace or the characters.

I'm hoping that I'll enjoy the third one more hahah.

What is your favorite Sanderson series? Mine is Stormlight, by far

[–] Foon@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I get that. I'm glad I ended up enjoying it, but I do very much understand what people's issues with it are. But hey only a few more weeks until the next one!

Stormlight is my favourite too. It's just SO good in SO MANY aspects. And I completely lose myself in the scale of the world and everything that's going on, and trying to tease out all the secrets! After all, there's always another secret... Although, if I had to pick a single book that's my favourite, I think I'd go with Emperor's Soul.

[–] amarnasmoths 1 points 1 year ago

Are you me???? Emperor's Soul is also my favorite standalone!!! I wish I could get the story in a hardback edition. Not in the Secret History book (I think it's published there) but by itself.

I'm a Kaladin person lmao. Well, all the Kholins make me happy but Kaladin the Honorary Kholin is the best

[–] Mogofwin@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Finished up arcanum unbounded last month, leaving just the lost metal, then I am caught up! Such a captivating universe!

[–] RODonnell@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I too am a fellow Sitehopper.

[–] Crazytrixsta@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Just started the newest Wax and Wayne boom.

[–] alvarolh@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Right now I'm going through my first reread of the Cosmere since I first read it back in 2018, I'm enjoying it as if it were the first time

[–] fax@sffa.community 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

we have a few of the same mods (including me) over at http://sffa.community/c/cosmere. Not an official migration but those of us there are trying to build up community. Hoping our Fediverse communities take off :)

[–] amarnasmoths 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you for letting me know!
