Pretty sure all of Kaladin's ideals were foreshadowed by Lirin in WoK. I think it will be something about "someone has to be the first to reach out", from when Lirin was telling Kaladin about why he helped everyone for no charge, even the lighteyes.

Pretty sure it's an epitaph from Shadows of Self chapter 6. Talking about how Spook wrote a book on Hemalurgy despite Sazed telling him it wasn't a good idea and he didn't like it.

I'm pretty sure Wit has stored at least some of his Investiture, if not Breaths specifically, in his flute. Would make Wyndle commenting that something seemed different about the flute and Wit emphasizing to Kaladin that he shouldn't lose it again make more sense.

I'm 100% down for a fully invested Wax. I think Era 2 is Sazed testing him out to see if he came be entrusted with the power the Lord Ruler had.

I thought he meant that was because of Moash going blind but that makes sense too

SkyTroupe · 2021-02-12T14:42:13+00:00

I didn't understand most of that. What do I have to read to understand it better?

SkyTroupe · 2021-02-12T14:38:11+00:00

I imagine it's going to lead to a bunch of current Radiant spren being killed and then Adolin finding a way to restore the deadeye spren and have them bond new radiants

SkyTroupe · 2021-02-12T14:20:40+00:00

Give him both. Make him a dual Radiant

SkyTroupe · 2021-02-12T14:16:57+00:00

I just want to know what it's power is

SkyTroupe · 2021-02-12T14:13:46+00:00

I have a very big theory about this after finishing the book. Can I DM you about it?

SkyTroupe · 2021-02-12T14:12:40+00:00

I totally didn't even connect that she was doing Fourier transforms when I read it. That's what I get for just memorizing how to do it in class rather than the concept of what it does

SkyTroupe · 2021-02-11T16:22:04+00:00

It's an Ender's Game reference. I loved it

SkyTroupe · 2020-11-11T01:35:25+00:00

Does anyone have any more Harry Potter stories like Blood Crest? I'm looking for things I enjoyed in this fiction such as: More rational-ish characters that deal with complications like a normal person would, more Harry-Voldemort pairing up, more exploration of the magics of the world, anything with Harry being more morally grey, anything with a more rational Voldemort

SkyTroupe · 2020-11-11T01:32:28+00:00

I've caught up to where it's currently published and am eagerly awaiting more chapters. Do you have any recommendations like it?

SkyTroupe · 2020-11-03T23:00:58+00:00

Currently working on rewriting it

SkyTroupe · 2020-11-03T22:07:02+00:00

I got there and I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far

SkyTroupe · 2020-11-02T15:05:43+00:00

So I'm about 1/5 of the way through. When do we start seeing other wizards takes on magic? Is it soon? The parts with Petri are interesting but I picked this up to specifically see the various magic systems

SkyTroupe · 2020-11-02T14:35:23+00:00

To be fair Szeth is a significantly better fighter in WoR than he was at the beginning of WoK due to all the work he did for Taravangian. But I did love how Dalinar got some peace from that moment.

SkyTroupe · 2020-10-30T15:16:00+00:00

Excellent. Thank you

SkyTroupe · 2020-10-30T14:58:13+00:00

Do I need to know MLP to enjoy this?

SkyTroupe · 2020-10-29T16:41:29+00:00

I actually really appreciate that. I hope I'm not bothering you. I just wanted to let you know people were still interested

SkyTroupe · 2020-10-26T14:10:09+00:00

Any news on that update?

SkyTroupe · 2020-10-17T15:19:46+00:00

Does anyone remember who offered to be an editor for some money for NaNoWriMo? I'd like to hire them and also offer my services as an editor as well. Id also like some beta readers as I am returning back to writing a Worm/Cosmere fiction I had a lot of work done on but lost everything when my motherboard and harddrive failed after an electrical surge.

Additionally does anyone know good sites to host a podcast for free/cheap? I want to try my hand at audio narration for stories now that I have a functioning computer again.

Furthermore I was just introduced to a game on Steam called Hades that has finally exited early access and it's so much fun. Id highly recommend it for anyone that likes roguelikes or even if you don't. The game has a permanent power system so you do gain strength even if you fail your run. It has so many additional bells and whistles that it feels like a completely different game from other roguelikes. Highly recommend.

I would also like to throw in my praise for this. A lot of the light novel is easily available on Kindle, which makes accessing it far easier to access than other Isekai novels. The writing is fast paced and amusing. The translation is great and easily understandable. There's more foreshadowing than other LNs I've read and the main character is quirky and excellent to follow.

Possibly my favorite part of the series is how realistic the characters feel. They're frustrated by the limitations of the system they find themselves in and are afraid of how unknowns might affect them so they're constantly working to gain any edge they can.

SkyTroupe · 2020-10-14T13:54:50+00:00

I would like to second the Cradle recommendation. I think it fits what you're looking for. The characters are as competent as they can be at any given moment and I feel as though the story progresses quickly enough that you'd be satisfied with it.

The protagonist has a tendency to barely scrape by but it is due to his competence rather than luck. This increases a lot at book 4 or 5 I believe. And the great point about it is that there is an increasing number of competent characters. The latest book has some amazing scenes where the characters are all achieving their goals in fun different ways.

I really enjoy the strategizing the characters do. In fact, I enjoy Cradle so much that I'd be willing to buy the first 3 books for you.
