It’s been 4 months of rereading and I’m finally back to the point in Oathbringer that i stopped at 4 years ago. In the meantime, my list of books from other authors I’d like to read has grown exponentially

True

Can we just petition to have him to start finishing A Song of Ice and Fire now?

I thought I was done after RoW but then I found out about Dark One, White Sands, and 17 billion other obscure novellas by him. I can't do this anymore. I am asking kindly. PLEASE STOP WRITING, BRANDON.

Brandon gets his speed from an unknown God metal used as a hemalugic spike.

True story, and then I read the wheel of time just so I could read the last 3 books by Brandon, and now when I finish rhythm of war I'll finally be able to say that I've officially read everything he has ever writ..... Wait what? another one?

Came back to this video after Sanderson's last announcement lol

When I saw dark one was released I was like “fuuuuuuuuck” then I was like “yaaaaayyy”

Never met a fantasy series I couldn't finish until I saw the Wheel of Time series and then I didn't even try.
