I read Words of Radiance and now I’m a wreckedspren... [ Spoilers Reading Vlog ] 

LOL I know right? 😅😅😅

SAME!!!

Especially in edge dancer I’m almost done with it and I love lift she’s soo cool!

I liked thinking Jasnah was dead. Made her return all the more interesting. I think it was better that he removed that chapter and kept the air of mystique around.

@@snowdrop9810 imma be honest even though i feel like the resurrection was a bit rushed and weird, i cried like a bitch after she died (she is my favorite character) and my relief when she wasn't dead was incredible

It’s so good! I’m glad you enjoyed the Vlog!

It seems to be like that! People either love them or have a hard time with them. Same with Lift! I can definitely see where the interludes would be a nice break for a lot of readers. 💕

I personally found a lot of the WoR interludes hard to get through, but i never had that problem with the other novels (although i really did like the eshonai and lift interludes in this book, but the goofy axies and interesting szeth ones in WoK really did captivate me more)

Awesome is the operative word isn't it

I think they just get better and better the more about the Cosmere you know, because they are not just worldbuilding, letting you see different areas, but they are related to background events that will become relevant later, so I find them more and more entertaining the more I know about what they mean

Lol!!! You and 100 other people. Don’t worry, Lift is well represented. 😂

Stormin' Voidbringer!

I wholeheartedly agree!!!

Yes to all of this! I still haven't fallen in love with Shallan yet either but I've been told Rhythm of War may change that, so we will see. The spren are

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it.

I mean... I can't disagree. XD

Lol right??? We're not in a hurry, for sure. XD

I didn't gloss over it while reading, for sure. Lol. I had a lot of footage! :) but trust me, that duel was INTENSE.

*moment of silence*

Thank you!

🙌🙌🙌

I feel that! Definitely realistic.

@@Ms.Pronounced_Name I felt like it was rushed but in a good way? Like the way andolin went from insults to murder in the corse of one convo felt like it was realistic? Idk how to explain it lol

@@Ms.Pronounced_Name yeah he's talked about how he wants to kill sadeas but you always assume he will stay in control and not do it so it's genuinely surprising when he does

I agree. I never said that I expected him to be a good politician. My reaction was incredulousness at the fact that he blundered so much. ;)

@@ToriTalks2 been a while since i seen this and idk where in the video you said it but im prty sure you words were someyhing similar to "why is he so bad? He was set up to be good" something along the lines of you thought he should have been good when from the start we were told he wasnt

@@snowman9631 Set up situationally, yes. Not necessarily set up to be a good politician by Sanderson.

Thank you so much!

Totally agree. It's so good!

Thank you so much!!! I’m glad you’re enjoying them. 💜 I’m currently reading and filming the Oathbringer vlog! Stay tuned.

@@ToriTalks2 fantastic. Sanderson is My favorite and remember. There's always another secret

I can see where Sanderson was using her as a literal "lift" to the dark mood, but to me she was just difficult to read and frustrating. I know she's a well loved character, she just wasn't for me :) She has a very different flavor to the rest of the series.

😅😅😅

*literally two minutes later* Kaladin XD

I never did either. More desperate hope that he’d make a smart decision 😂

Hi Cody, thanks for watching! As I mentioned to several other people, I know Dalinar isn’t meant to be a tactical genius, I was more just surprised at how bad some of the decisions were. I was hoping rather than expecting he would make better ones.

I know she’s a very controversial character that way. She’s not my favorite but I also get why people enjoy her. I’m so glad that you enjoyed the vlogs!

Yasss 👌🏻

The duel was so good! I agree with all of this, and I totally see the Shakespearean interludes reference, you're right. I had some way off theories in this series too XD

Nice! I hope you love it!

😉😉😉

Bryan McClure Yes I will be! I’m waiting for the book to come.

William Vesey I haven’t read Warbreaker yet! I am really excited to though. That scene with Shallan is SO GOOD. There were so many inter-character moments in this book. 😍 I’m not a fan of Lift at the moment but I’m definitely looking forward to seeing how Sanderson uses her character moving forward. Do you have a favorite character?

@@ToriTalks2 Shallan is my favorite. She was in Way of Kings also, which is quite a minority position based on comments I've read. She is "lucky" in that she has the surge of Transformation and can alter her view of herself and of how others view her. When she enters the Council room, she is becoming like Jasnah, but with her surge binding abilities this isnt just self discipline. I believe it actually affects how others view her. But she did take a gamble on Sebarial and win. I'm not sure if anything other than chutzpah helped her there. Agree that Jasnah's reappearance wasn't unexpected. Syl's resurrection was also no surprise. If Kaldin had been killed while she was "dead" she would gave been gone for sure. That's apparently what happened at the Recreance. Few if any Knights took up their oaths again. Since Elhokar was not yet dead, I think Syl was also not quite dead because she could still converse with the Stormfather. I would encourage you to read Warbreaker before Oathbringer. For reasons. Nice review!

Yeah for sure, the interludes are super hit or miss for me, sometimes they are a nice break and sometimes they really yank me out of the story.

For sure, I understand why and the bonds/oaths surrounding the spren. It still didn't have the impact that I think it did on other readers simply because I never thought he'd actually end her character. So I was just sort of waiting for her to come back. BUT that doesn't take away from the fact that what happened to her was heartbreaking.

XD

Hi! I read Warbreaker and Edgedancer in between this one and Oathbringer, and I've now read Oathbringer as well. I have that vlog up too! :) Thanks so much for watching!

I think there’s definitely always something to improve.

😂 well there’s a spren for everything, right?

If I had a dollar for every person who gets upset with me over my reaction to a Sanderson book. XD My opinions haven't changed that much. Having read more of the series, I am now aware of more of the storyline. The beautiful part of storytelling and reading is that everyone has their own individual experience. My experience of the book isn't "wrong" simply because it differs from yours :) My reaction to Jasnah's death remains the same. Because to me personally it was so obvious that she wasn't actually dead, the impact was greatly lessened. It was more of an irritation to me, and again, this is a personal opinion. Same with Syl. I tend to read more literally and take things at face value, that's just the way my brain interprets the text. I knew she wasn't actually gone, and it seemed obvious to me, so again the impact was lessened. When it comes to Dalinar being a poor politician, my incredulous statement about that was more of a "hello, Dalinar, this is so obvious. What's wrong with you?" reaction, and I think is closer to what you're getting at in your comment. There have been others who are surprised by my comment about his political blundering, but it wasn't that I expected him to be a good politician, I know he isn't. I was just incredulous that he was making such huge blunders. I never said that these points were "issues", they were a raw and personal reaction to the story. I'm not making any commentary on Sanderson's ability to craft or that he made "mistakes", because I don't believe that. The video is just my raw and honest reaction to the story as I read it. I hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment!

BOOTS

A fabulous character :D

Lift is a spot of much needed levity in a series that can get really dark.

Eh not a fan personally. At least if the spot she was placed in this story. If it wasnt directly after Kaladin was thrown in prison maybe I'd have been okay with it. Was just a bit jarring.
