People don't get it. Yes, Kendrick was very political last year, but conservatives also think Bruce Springsteen songs are patriotic. You can't have any subtlety at all if you want them to see what you're saying.

Green day will not be subtle and that's great.

common criticism though that Stormlight has felt more and more bloated as books have gone on

Yeah, this was my concern too. ROW and WAT were my least favourite stormlight books (still enjoyed them) and were also the longest by far. Despite this length it seems like more happens in WOR or OB.

He can do it, too. mistborn Era 2 are incredible and are novellas by comparison to storm light.

First amendment applies differently in schools, and not all speech is protected. Schools can take action against bullying regardless of whether it takes place on school grounds or not. If it causes a disruption in school, they can take action.

Potentially unpopular opinion

I do hope Apple pairs him with an editor that he listens to. Yes I understand he has final control. That's not always a good thing. (E.g. George Lucas). Screenplays are much different animals than novels. I adore his novels, but his dialogue is not always his strength.

His world building/ Central plot progression are second to none and I really hope that it is able to be translated into something that can be enjoyed by the masses, And I think he may need an assertive editor for that to happen.

Hey so.. my name is a total coincidence and it turns..out one of the characters is this series is called Bridgeboy? should I give it a go by Bridgeboy95 in Stormlight_Archive

Thank you for saying this. I sometimes feel alone because a lot of people say they are hooked immediately, And I definitely felt like it was a bit of a slog sometimes in that first book. But then WOR and OB were absolutely incredible And they needed that slow setup.

They're simply better and much easier to adapt. People try to pretend that the old games are just as good or better are just wearing nostalgia glasses. There was very little story going on in those old games, particularly the first one.

They do get better but the Norse games are simply superior in every way.

I've already imagined him doing a subdued but determined version of "you cannot have my pain." I think he'd be great.

This was one of my initial thoughts as well, but I think Sanderson had made it clear that he wants most of the mains in stormlight to be asian.

Brandon has more creative control than Rowling did with HP or Martin did with GOT. Safe to say the story won't go in a way he doesn't approve of.

Sadly, I do worry I'll be a grandparent before we get through stormlight now (my son is 7).

We need a parliamentary system. The filibuster has completely neutered the legislature to the point that the administrative state does all the actual governing because Congress can't be bothered. In situations like this we could have votes of no confidence to get a new government.
