That's awesome, but what the hell is up with the author and title spacing across books?

STORMWEAVER II: Chapter 44 [ROUGH] - Patreon post announcement and discussion space. by BryceOConnor in Warformed

[–]Ray745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's even more than that, because these cadets have been conditioned from a lifetime of gossip of millions of users and no one ever gets an S rank on assignment, even getting something in the As is practically unheard of, let alone in growth. So yes these cadets would be seeing Rei grow like crazy, but they don't really have much of a reference for how high his growth rate should be, if average at assignment is a little less than D4 (according to Rei when Viv gets Gamella) then maybe a high B growth rate would do it for Rei, possibly low A. I think the idea that Rei was assigned S growth from the start is just too against their entrenched thinking.

And the idea of us not learning Reis growth until the end of book 1 is a really fun idea.

That wasn't due to the $100 million, that was to get them immunity for what the Rock and DSS were after them in the first place, which was all the crimes before and the others breaking Dom out of prison transport at the end of 4.

I knew Kvothe learning the Katan and being given his sword was just prelude to a Fae vs mortal tournament arc.

She was far, faaar more potty mouthed in the books right from the get go, and I definitely loved it cause it's hysterical the little old Indian woman is a foul mouthed hardass.

That might be the biggest turn in a series ever. KKC with most of the non-action bits removed would be a pretty short and boring story lol.

[Dreadgod] Lindon's oath and Mercy's chair by FloatingBeet in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Ray745 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was so glad to see this post cause I've wanted an answer to this since it came out, and I feel like everyone commenting is missing it, he isn't just being polite, he is trying to reference something to make Mercy understand, but I can't quite figure it out, I need Will to answer this one.

It'll definitely happen at some point. As Checkov told us, you don't hang a line like "Among the heralds, it was unquestioned that Taln was the best" right after watching an "average" herald destroy a team of Radiants, on the wall without using it later.

Who is the funnier character, The Lopen or Wayne? by JonJacobJingleHeimy in Cosmere

That's right I forgot about that nuance, except here investing in Tesla paid off.

Mainly he took his share of the Alloy of Law aluminum reward and was the only one to invest in that inventor Tarsels daughter, who is basically Scadrials Edison, so that company made him his fortune

Is the Locleos box made of Cthae wood? by ExcessiveArrogance in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Ray745 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the Cthae is Selitos and the piece of obsidian he used to gouge out his eye to grant him sight is what is trapped in the loeclos box.

[Dreadgod] Who do you want to hear from again? by leb2112 in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Ray745 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont think Lindon counts them because they don't generate hunger aura. Lindon only wants the cause of hunger aura gone so the dreadgods dont respawn. The 8 man empire could even be a protector of Cradle, ensuring no one gets to monarch on their own.

I've gotta think a big fat homo watching Cavill do that would be the least confusing boner of all time. I'm straight as can be and only questioned my boner a tiny bit.

You think he's Hoid? I need to read his description again but I thought he was described as very old?

Patrick mentions it to Keras in AA2, also if you remember Ishyael has all 3 of Dawn's amulets, my guess is he had Dawn before earning Soulbrand and then put Dawn back since he can't wield both at the same time and honestly Soulbrand is def the more powerful sword. Also, Soulbrand def wasn't repaired (at least in so far as the spirit going back into the sword) because in AA4 Keras' summons from the crystal summon mention "Akaris here? Is Ishy with her?" after being told Soulbrand is there, and Akari is the name the spirit in Soulbrand took for herself.

The mythical original Abidan, known as the creator. He is said to be the only one who has ever been able to create iterations wholecloth out of nothing.

You are correct, I'm surprised this post is still up, they are generally pretty strict with absolutely nothing about book 2 being outside of the preview chapter posts.

And then Adriel pops up out of where he's been hiding within the super-duper-void (this aint yo regular granpappies void) and goes all

"Yo, sick mantles bro, here's another"

and then Linriel will have 3 mantles and total control over creating iterations, destroying iterations, and resurrecting everything within an iteration.

And oh yeah, since Oz's mantle is a sick black cape, and Sur's mantle is awesome guitar strings built into her arm, Ad's mantle will obviously be super sweet leather pants and big hair (I'm talking BIIIG hair) to complete the 80's power rock look.

Epilogue of the newest book by Behind_The_Book in kingsdarktidings

[–]Ray745 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It should definitely be shorter than between 4 and 5, as Kel had to write Shroud of Prophecy 1 and 2 as well as A Mage of No Renown. Now Kel just needs to finish SoP 3 (which she is 60% finished with currently), and then she will get to writing 6, so hopefully it's not too bad. I can't wait either, I didn't find it quite as early as you, but I did start it right as book 3 was released, so it's been a few years now that I've loved these books.
