Way Of Kings - Blog Posts
Those Kings sure did go Ways huh. Anyway Stormlight Archive good.
okay yeah yeah villain but the diagram is so cool you guys
Wall I made for this (featuring: Russian, Spanish, toki pona, DNA code, women's script, a few alphabets, some geometry and arithmetic, and a language that I invented, among other things. I had fun with this)
Concept: Jasnah Kholin with pants
I had like twenty scenes from the first three Stormlight books I wanted to illustrate before the fourth book came out, but . . . *Glances at countdown to RoW I definitely don't have on my bedside table* Yeah, that's not gonna happen. So here are some doodles of Syl.
In honor of Oathbringer, here’s a drawing of Kaladin Stormblessed from the Stormlight Archive! I’m reading Oathbringer right now and enjoying it a lot. Kaladin’s got to be my favorite character, although Shallan is a close second.
Shallan Davar from the Stormlight Archive, drawing with charcoal by the light of a fire broam. Drawn with MyPaint.
look i know the szeth prologue carries a lot of introductory information as to the magic system and how it can be used (and if there is one thing the cosmere in general excels at it is using the rules of a hard magic system in interesting ways for fight scenes) but it is so crazy that his internal monologue is so full of grief for what he is about to do and his first spoken line is "what am i? i'm sorry" and then he starts killing people in such an overcomplicated rube goldbergian way. why'd he lash a guy to the ceiling above an upright spear and just wait (fearspren spawning up around them) until the lashing broke and he impaled himself. you didnt have to do that man no one was around to see it
Way of Kings: the progression of my feelings toward Sadeas
Beginning of WoK: I really don't like Sadeas, I think he's a jerk
Middle of WoK: hmm... maybe, just maybe, Sadeas isn't as bad as I thought...
End of WoK: %$#@ING SADEAS 🤬😡🤯
Kaladin and Dalinar
"Will I never stop hearing about Dalinar storming Kholin? Kaladin thought."
I freakin' KNOW this is foreshadowing 👀
WoK Chapter 15 Thoughts
Currently on chapter 15 of Way of Kings, some thoughts so far:
-Dalinar should have been king, not Elhokar
-I like Shallan, really was not expecting her true motivation/quest though
-I love Wit (Hoid) 😍 Especially when he makes fun of that jerk Sadeas 😁
-Kaladin....🥺
Stormlight, finally
I've read (and loved) almost every single Brandon Sanderson book so far, except the Stormlight series. I just finished Warbreaker and now I'm finally starting The Way of Kings. Wish me luck...
ok im assuming this is the listener version of the ‘eyes on you’ gesture……cause theyre you know….listenin
Ch 4 Death Rattle in WoK
« I’m dying aren’t I? Healer why do you take my blood? Who is that beside you with his head of lines? I can see a distant sun, dark and cold, shining in a black sky. »
Y’all they just killed a lightweaver. I’m picking up on so much more in the reread I swear the book is better the second time
I never noticed in Shallan’s original drawing of Taravangian (in WoK) there were TWO cryptics!
Sanderson’s foreshadows stretch so far back it’s ridiculous sometimes.
