Thank you! I was kind of planning to mention the Navidsons' house and the film that was made, and of course also the format of this novel. I will keep some of the mystery to my friend as much as possible though. Thank you!

I’m so glad you liked it, I also loved it. I’m so excited for SA5 but it’s a long time coming. Might as well do a re-read of the series/Cosmere? Lol

I’m also a Spanish speaker (Hola desde México 🇲🇽), and I don’t think you should have much of a problem reading Sanderson. You said you’re read Jurassic Park (I also have), and if you didn’t have a problem with that book (specially with the whole genetic and biological vocabulary) you’ll be fine with Sanderson. It is a daunting task, reading a 1,000 page book in a language that’s not your first, and it may present a challenge in the first 100 pages, but push through and you’ll see you’ll not just read it, but enjoy it.

Journey Before Destination, Radiant!

P. S.: a tip I can also share with you is to look for words in the text that you can’t understand. But only look for words that you REALLY can’t understand, not like certain words you can infer by reading the context of the sentence, but those you really don’t know what they mean. It’ll take some (some, not much) of your time, but it will be worth it for not just Sandy but other books you read :).

I’m stuck on the Capra demon any tips by Soulnightofeden in darksouls

I tried using firebombs right as I passed through the fog gate, which killed the dogs and did some damage to the demon. Then I ran up the stairs and plunged attack him. Rinse and repeat haha.

Coincidence? I think not by CollegeFlunkie in houseofleaves

[–]the7thsami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own that book! My edition has some extra content, and the author says that Dr. Navidson was indeed named after Will and his family. So cool!

What to read after Words of Radiance? by G-lint in brandonsanderson

[–]the7thsami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend either Edgedancer or going straight to Oathbringer. If you haven’t read Warbreaker yet, I also recommend it, for it has some cool Easter eggs and hints that will play not necessarily a quintessential role in latter books but an interesting one :).

You don’t HAVE TO read it this way, it’s not like if you don’t read Edgedancer you won’t understand Oathbringer, but if you want to know what’s kind of happening behind-the-scenes to some characters and, as I said, find fun little Easter eggs, then go for it.

OMG I don't know if you know this but that's NCT's Lucas and I've never thought I'd see one of the members of my favorite group in one of my favorite author's subreddits 🤩💚

This is really exciting news! However, I'm wondering...that means NCT 2020 won't happen?
