INCREDIBLE video! I've been a fan of the Cosmere for a while now, and have been able to intuit a lot of this, but this video has really helped me fully understand the whole thing and I've drawn a couple new connections because of it! All without having to risk being spoiled by the 17th Shard / Coppermind (my curiosity has gotten the better of me once or twice. Wish I could just have all the books now and finish them in one afternoon, though I know I'd just be left hungry for more Cosmere).

Am now 10 chapters into the Way of Kings, which I started immediately after finishing the era 1 Mistborn trilogy. This video was not only fantastic for helping me contextualize the unique peculiarities of Roshar, but it also helped me re-contextualize the lore of Scadriel! Like, for example, the fractures in a person's soul allowing for Investiture to seep in and grant the person power explains why in Mistborn, the characters have to experience intense trauma and "snap" before they can use Allomancy. There are so many other little connections like that I was able to make, too. Thanks a ton for this!! So excited to keep falling down the Sanderson rabbit hole :D

It’s amazing how Sanderson created an overarching system of basically supernatural science… to the point where magic in the cosmere isn’t really magic at all but a different set of physical and meta-physical laws that only seem like magic to us because our laws of physics are very different.

Hey there! Yes, I am doing okay, thank you for asking. I have hand problems which have put an end to my video making for the foreseeable future, but other than that life is going pretty well. It makes me very happy that people continue to find and get use out of this though--I put a lot of work into it I stand by my research and most of my writing! I hope you enjoy book five when it comes out later this year. Thanks for saying hi!

One of the biggest issues when people are talking about the Skybreakers (especially so when they're arguing against them) is that the only real notions we have about them come from the time after the recreance that which Nale is leading them. If a Herald who, like all the other ones, has shifted into a state where he's the antithesis of who he once was is leading an Order of Radiants, I'm not so certain that it sets the best precedent. Given how wishy-washy the Oaths are and just how strange the bonding process is, I'm not entirely certain that the Skybreakers are following their oaths correctly. Every other Order we've seen has established a bond at the first oath rather than the third and it just seems like the modern Skybreakers are filling in forgotten and false oaths with squirehood to get past it.

I haven't read the books, just watched 2 videos, this one included, and I already have a theory :)) well, actually more like a question or a theory which could be easily debunked if false: is it established that the god was really killed, like for good? If this isn't clearly or strongly stated, then he might reform out of the shards or something at some point, or maybe he is very much alive in some sense and controls the universe throughout the series.

Sometimes in stories when characters get through hardship, the purpose of it is for them to understand that there may be no purpose for it. So they accept it and grow. I think the same outlook can apply to real life.
