/lit/ - Literature

I think the Black Company series did magic fairly well. It was an ongoing presence but it wasn't exactly over-powered or ass-pullish, at all.

The Way of Kings by Sanderson might be nice, especially since its going to be delving more into the story behind the Shards; albeit vaguely.

Its 4:30AM and I'm lurking 4chan. Feels bad, I really need to read more but the internet is such a distraction.

Last three books:
>Mistborn trilogy

Current:
>Beyond the Wall of Time

Next three:
>Warbreaker, dunno what else because I have nothing else

I use Shelfari but it's the same thing, really.

>Typing in Fires of Heaven on shitbook to add to my books I've read (There's a trilogy that NO ONE ELSE HAS READ)
>This shit pops up
Whatthefuck.wav

>I will never be able to make a successful thread about a fantasy book or series on /lit/

The selection on that site is pissawful.

If I can remember it all..

The Pendragon Adventures
Song of Ice and Fire
Everworld
Seventh Tower
Abhorsen Trilogy
Mistborn trilogy
Fires of Heaven trilogy
Shannara series
Night Angel trilogy
Dark Tower series

I don't remember everything I've read, but these should get you started

So Elend was basically Sanderson in-series? Any other neat Mistborn tidbits?

>>1349502
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Been a while since I read the first sorry. Does sound like a load of shit though.
I enjoyed the series as a whole. Sure, there were mistakes but meh, decent original world and story. Pretty good overall. I've only got one more new book to read then I'm out of books. ;_;

>>1348649
Which event was that?

Bump

>>1347068
Gotcha. Maybe this thread can go somewhere today, at least.

I don't mean to keep bumping, but as I'm not looking at the front page, is /lit/ really this slow, or am I just impatient?

>>1347043
Got any certain specifics?

Not that I disagree with you, I'm honestly interested to read more about it. I did notice how throughout the entire series, there was only about four-five different facial expressions, and Breeze overused the fuck out of his phrase.

>>1347030
Just read his blogs sometimes. It's like he has 10-20+ other projects he tries to work on.

>>1347021
Well, that's what I meant. I know he's obligated to finish WoT, and I'd like the idea of the next Mistborn trilogy sooner, as well as more Stormlight, since that sounds like an interesting series, but it seems he tries to write a billion other books in the meantime. :|

No book threads on /lit/? :\

>>1346964
Yeah, that's understandable. It's just that he should focus on what he's currently working on instead of new shit all the time, but his career is writing so I guess he can do whatever the fuck he wants whenever the fuck he wants.

>>1346945
I never got into Wheel of Time and don't plan on it, honestly.

I just finished this series today. Can we have a Mistborn thread?

THAT ENDING TWIST. Sure is fucking cliffhanger, and I doubt we'll get that second Mistborn trilogy due to Sanderson trying to write too many fucking books at once. At least maybe his stand-alone will come out and we can finally find out what the last two metals are. Anyone else think that was a bit of an asspull?
Is there any news on the next trilogy at all, anyway?

Also, what are some other good Sanderson books? I was looking at some summaries of them a while back. The excerpt of Warbreaker at the end of Hero of Ages sounded like an interesting book, as well as the Stormlight series. Elantris doesn't seem too interesting to me, but what else is there?

Curious about the Kindle too. Might end up getting one around Christmas time, but I've never been one to pirate my books.

It's a great series. You'll enjoy it.
