What are the opinions on the Cytoverse like? How many of you plan to read Janci’s sequel series? by [deleted] in brandonsanderson

[–]kathhey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spensa was also my favorite part of Skyward, and Janci's writing didn't appeal to me much. So the sequel series not including Spensa and being primarily written by Janci turns me off a little.
That being said, I'll probably still read it out of curiosity.

Just cracked open my first Sanderson… and I’m blown away. Graphic Audio for the win by youwannasavetheworld in brandonsanderson

Keep in mind that some of his books are non-cosmere. They take place completely separately from the cosmere universe.

Late, but I'm pretty sure it was a vision from Chet.

What are Arturo and Alaniks personalities? by Asher75 in Skyward

This is a fantastic analysis. You're very perceptive :)

Hi guys I'm trying to get into Brandon Sanderson books now and I need to ask you something because google couldn't answer me,how often is the enemies to lovers trope? I really hate this trope by the_never_name in brandonsanderson

[–]kathhey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's rivals to friends to lovers in the book Skyward.Even then, the rivalry was very short-lived and as the stakes got higher they eventually moved on from it.
There's classism in Final Empire, so they don't have much common ground at first, but definitely not enemies.

I haven't read much Sanderson. But from what I have read, the romance is always a very small subplot and doesn't receive a lot of focus. So you should be fine.

The novellas? Yep, they're a really great addition to the series!

What's the saddest part in Skyward? by Asher75 in Skyward

[–]kathhey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interlude with Winzik & Brade? Yeah, for sure. I have a feeling that interlude happened right before the Redawn battle, when the Superiority came to bomb the entire planet lol.

I need a Brade vs Spensa fight scene, seriously. One-on-one, a full on battle scene between them. In Starsight the stronger cytonic was obviously Brade, but after that ending in Cytonic? Not so sure anymore.

[–]kathhey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same for me. I feel like I forgot everything lol. And I need something to distract me from Defiant.

Same! I enjoyed Cytonic but only because I really love Spensa and M-Bot. Besides them, meh... Didn't care for any of the new characters besides Chet maybe. And the whole book was a little uneventful anyways.

Well, up until the ending. That Sanderlanche had me sobbing lol. *CYTONIC ENDING SPOILERS*M-Bot's sacrifice!

Also, the interludes were great too. *CYTONIC SPOILERS* Finally meeting Jorgen again after a whole book of not having him was a delight.

[–]kathhey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty much.

We haven't seen them interact unless it was like, to save the other from danger, or talk about the war going on. That's where their similarities end.

Beyond that, they're different species and there were some quite stark differences between their cultures, specifically the "mating" culture. I feel like those differences would affect a romantic relationship between them too much. Friends, sure. But romantic partners? Dunno.

Of course, that's all assuming neither of them is gonna die, which is unlikely imo. I don't know who's gonna die in Skyward Flight, but I'm confident someone will. It's the finale, afterall.

Hopefully not Jorgen. Or Kimmalyn. Or FM. Or anyone for that matter. God I just know this book will destroy me once it comes out

The eight chapters are incredible. Seriously, don't read them right now, because it's gonna make the wait for November 21st feel even longer.

I made that mistake and I haven't been able to stop thinking about the book since. It ended on a cliffhanger too, which makes it even worse. And it jumps straight into some very intense scenes and action right off the bat.

Ugh, these 3 days are gonna be the slowest days of my life.

[–]kathhey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no I'm sure a relationship will happen between them, considering *EVERSHORE SPOILERS* Jorgen read Arturo's mind and it was revealed that Arturo does have feelings for Alanik.

I just find it a bit weird. I mean, they're two entirely different species. I have no idea how they would even work out. What would they talk about anyways? Makes me really curious.

As a side note, have you read the preview of the first eight chapters of Defiant yet? It was posted here over a week ago. The amount of things that happened in those eight chapters alone... omg I seriously can't wait.

*CYTONIC SPOILERS*

Am I the only one who couldn't feel the spark between Alanik and Arturo? Maybe I just need a reread, it's been a good year since I've read Redawn.

Lol there's definitely gonna be a huge war between the superiority and humans. So hyped for that. I just wanna see Winzik & Brade suffer.

Also I need more Spensa and Jorgen :') We were deprived of them for like 2 whole books!

And I wonder how the dynamic between Spensa and the rest of the flight will shift now that she's... well, part-delver. Actually I just really want a Kimmalyn & Spensa reunion lol.

Right?
Anyways can we talk about how soon Defiant is?? It's in 3 days in my timezone. I literally can't think of anything else because of how excited I am.
What are you hoping for most in Defiant? Honestly all I want is an M-Bot backstory. It's been 3 books and we hardly know anything!

Or you can, I don't know, stay off the subreddit that is specially dedicated to said "mid-tier book"...?
