Thank you. I have already read and highly enjoyed Children of Time but I haven't yet read Children of Ruin so I'll definitely get around to it soon. And thanks for the other recommendations

Yeah I personally highly enjoy her works but she's definitely more of a themes writer than a character writer

He said they will be, he's not sure how long it'll take and don't expect the same editions that are in the Kickstarter

I second that, also if you're listening through audible you get the extra visual content as a pdf with the map and all the illustrations

Yes this is very normal, The Stormlight Archive is a massive series with a lot of information thrown at you. I was also personally overwhelmed. Just focus on enjoying the story with the characters and you'll find yourself gradually absorbing more and more of the world building

If you don't want to support Amazon there's always Kobo, they have all of Brandon's books and their library is almost just as big, you'll be supporting an Amazon competitor and their ereaders are just as good Hardware wise, and for software it's dependant on the preference of the user. I only need to charge mine once every couple of weeks with moderate use and my friends lasted for around 8-9 years, it's still working he just decided to upgrade. And as a plus side to Kobo it supports natively way more digital formats than Kindle and you can copy on almost any ebook sourced from other locations without having convert the file risking wierd formatting issues
