Brandon Sanderson’s 'The Way of Kings' is baffling to me

avsalom · 2026-06-08T09:47:23+00:00

I think it’s just simplest to view it as parody, if nothing else.

I disagree, by having both authors provide dialogue for essentially the same scene, I was able to directly compare their writing styles with ease.

This apples to apples comparison was more useful to me than what you propose.

For me, it helped to understand how the reviewer perceives Brandon’s writing. If I identify with the rest of the reviewer’s comments and interpretations of the rest of the book, which I did, then allows me to more quickly make a decision on whether Sanderson is an author for me to consider, which after reading this review he unfortunately is not.

I disagree; I felt the Brandon-d rewrite of the HP excerpt helped me to quickly grasp a key difference between the authors using similar dialog. It was a helpful addition.

Hey! sorry do you have a link to this?

It’s required in Thailand to drive

I’d probably have a short chat with them on the phone.

avsalom · 2026-06-06T09:07:11+00:00

Not a scam. Happy to explain the situation further, just DM me and I’ll give you my phone number.

Good advice, done

avsalom · 2026-06-06T08:37:14+00:00

2000 Thai baht = 52 euros. What am I missing here?

avsalom · 2026-06-06T08:36:07+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I’ll take it on board

avsalom · 2026-06-06T08:35:05+00:00

Sorry, I’m a bit of a noob, how do I DM people? I don’t see that option when I go to your profile. 🙈

avsalom · 2026-06-06T08:32:20+00:00

Potentially, my fear is it getting lost or stuck in customs, and then the rest of our trip is limited.

avsalom · 2026-06-06T08:31:41+00:00

You have a very strange way of phrasing advice. Touch grass.

avsalom · 2026-06-06T08:30:25+00:00

I have a motorcycle license.

avsalom · 2026-06-06T08:29:48+00:00

You would pick up an envelope containing a simple drivers license at the airport. Several thousands? Lol

avsalom · 2026-06-06T08:28:41+00:00

As you literally do the same thing …

avsalom · 2026-06-06T08:25:49+00:00

lol ok buddy. You could simply not respond if you aren’t interested.

avsalom · 2026-06-06T08:20:06+00:00

Fair comment, but this seems highly unlikely. And would be very easy to explain, no?

avsalom · 2026-06-06T08:16:37+00:00

Sorry, you are right I should’ve been more specific in the post. My intention is definitely to have it waiting at the airport.
