As a teen girl, I could not stand Powerless. I did read Red Queen and the Hunger Games first though so that might be a bias for me. But even leaving the blatant plagiarism aside, the book gave the ick so bad. Paedyn felt quite pick me, much worse than Mare, Kai annoyed me to no end, and Kit was just a whiny and meeker version than what im fairly sure was his inspo character, Maven. The word building is weak, and the banter and interactions felt very forced. The characters fell flat and again the plot and main character points which were copied, were very poorly executed. I really struggled to get into the book, and most of it had me rolling my eyes or cringing really hard. I don't think its about the new generation's version, its just on what they perceive easier to digest i suppose because powerless did feel extremely fast paced and broken down to me, in a way the inspo books werent. i just dont get the hype of the book.

Have you done a blind date with a book?

I'm watching this after reading the book and I am so glad to have found your video! I completely agree with everything you said, and love the way you speak! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!

Do you think this book is worth the hype?

Kelsier is the head of the ghostbloods. He goes by Thaidakar but still has the scares and wears his mist cloak. He was in the prelude to WaT with Gavilar

So Kelsier has been referenced a lot threw out all the storm light books he’s thaidakar and the lord of scars

Loved this style of review! It’s so fun to see your reactions after each day and see how they were similar and/or different to mine. There’s just something fun about seeing someone talk about the book as they are reading it instead of just after they’ve read the entire book

Your English is perfect, why the captions? Dislike and don't recommend channel follows this remark.

You described it very well

It felt...gay

Merry Christmas! Hope you had a great time

Merry Christmas 🎄

I just found your channel! I like the vibe here and the theories. I dont6ship Kaladin and Syl.... But I guess I don't hate it. Is there anyone good enough for him anyway?

Saving until later in case spoilers

Dalinar learned the same lesson that the computer in War Games learned.

Oh my.... you need to read mistborn era 2.... XD

worst part about this book is that we have to wait another 10 years for the next one ˙◠˙

Mistborn is my favorite series so I can't wait for you to read the rest of it and see the connections :)

Hey, Iliyana! Love the video! 💖💖💖 I loooooved Wind and Truth. Blitzed through it the way I've never blitzed through anything. Couldn't stop reading. It ended about how I imagined it would (in a good way). Epic, devastating, and bittersweet. The events of this book make me even more excited now about the Cosmere as a whole. My biggest surprise probably came in chapter 100. (the fact that Brandon made it work that THIS is the chapter 100... iykyk). I did not expect to get that perspective at all. I did not expect Brandon to go there, you know. But he did, and honestly, he couldn't have done it any other way. SPOILERS FOR The Stormlight Archive 1-5, Mistborn 1-3, Tress of the Emerald Sea below (clearing some things mentioned in the video and commenting on others some others) That first Mistborn reference you weren't sure about is a reference, yep. You might wanna re-read the first interlude (Kalak) to put some things together. Or, you might just read Mistborn Era 2 and Secret History and put things together then (the audiobooks and B$ pronounce Sazed as SAY-zed) And while you re-read that interlude, do you remember how Elend found out about Valette actually being a thief? (hint, he hired a person whose name you will find familiar while reading the interlude) Another Mistborn reference, which you probably didn't notice, was to Vin. (the end of Ch. 25) When Hoid was talking about people giving up the power of a Shard. He said that it happened once. And it wasn't a full Ascension. They gave the power up and it proved to be the wrong choice, but it was the most selfless thing he'd ever witnessed. The Baxil guy is from Interlude 7 in the Way of Kings. They sneak into a palace so that his Mistress (who, obviously, later turns out to be Ash) gets to deface a sculpture. While she does that, he talks with his cousin about wanting to go to the Nightwatcher. And says that if he could phrase his request just right, he would get just the boon and avoid the curse. The spikes Moash gets aren't the same as Inquizitor spikes, but they are functionally the same. They allow him to see the world through Investiture. Which means that he can see spren now, and kill them with antiLight. Ah, the Dyel interlude. I'll just say that it combines Interlude 1 of TWOK (Ishikk and 3 strangers), Interlude 5 of TWOK (Axies and Cusicesh) and Interlude 2 of WOR (Ym being killed by Nale) And I will also say that it might not be a bad idea to re-read chapter 2 of Tress, which is set in the far future of the Cosmere, if you wanna get more context (btw, you should be able to recognize one of the strangers' names. You haven't read the books for the other two) Funnily enough, people did predict the Champion. It was probably the most common theory along with Shallan's mom theory. We didn't know the minutia of it, but there are Death Rattles predicting it (the epigraph for Chapter 57 in TWOK) The Shallan cradling her stomach. Yep, that's what most people read into it. To understand where Hoid is and what's up with him. Read Secret History. Read Mistborn Era 2 The Hoid book is coming after Stormlight 10. The Hoid trilogy, actually. Called Dragonsteel. And it will be detailing the Shattering. The current plan is for the 6th Stormlight book to come out in 2031 (he's gonna write Mistborn Era 3 and the two Elantris sequels in the meantime). We will also be getting the Horneater novella at some point in the 7-year gap (showing up what is up with Rock). The ketek at the end is really fascinating. It makes sense on some level. But I wonder if there's something else there.

Slightly auspicious that I myself read the book in nine days, the number of odium… Well not Odium anymore. It blows my mind how well the time dilation twist makes the entire timeline of the cosmere line up… because I knew that the next books Brandon is going to write will be Mistborn era 3 and Elantris 2+3, but we thought those would be set AFTER the back half as we didn’t know about the time dilation. But it makes so much sense that he’s taking a break from Stormlight to show us the rest of the Cosmere during that 80 years. It will be a while (7 years minimum, I’m preparing for longer) until he gets back to Stormlight. I forgot you hadn’t read Era 2, but some of those mistborn references will clear up if you do that. I have some clarification of The Dyel interlude, about the Iriali girl that leaves through the portal with her mother. I wrote those character pages on the Coppermind wiki, as it were. Quite proud of myself for that. But anyway, the Iriali have a religion called the Long Trail that says that the Iriali must travel to 7 lands before they reunite with The One. Roshar is their 4th land, and they went through the portal to Shadesmar, from which they will walk across the cognitive realm to another planet. This next land may be Scadrial, may be Lumar (tress world). We don’t know, but I personally think that the Iriali religion has some nuggets of truth and that something about it predicts the future of the Cosmere. The three suspicious men in that interlude 1) showed up in a Way of Kings interlude also and 2) are from Scadrial (Mistborn), Sel (Elantris), and Taldain (White Sand). Oh, and if you’re curious about what will happen to Sigzil and Szeth’s Highspren 12124, look no further than the Sunlit Man! I read it before Stormlight 5, and it will be interesting to see what it will be like for you after having read Wind and Truth. The Shin bread that Nohadon gave Dalinar is just normal sourdough or white bread. He describes it as abnormally fluffy because the Alethi usually just have flatbread with their curry. Gavinor as champion was a huge theory because of the death rattle predicting it. I don’t think anyone predicted he would be aged up in the Spiritual Realm, though. Also, Shallan is probably pregnant. It’s not confirmed however. If you want to see what Hoid gets up to next, Wax and Wayne would be the place to go! Whoooh that was a long comment. That’s what happens when you are bursting with excitement, I guess.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

The next Cosmere book for you should definitely be Elantris or MB Secret History :)

Sanderson is a mormon

Was this book too goofy for you or was it the right amount?

So this book any good? Is it easy to read and understand? Im deaf. English isnt my first language as British Sign Language is my first. Just dont wanna buy rubbish books as im trying to get back into reading more. (Im slow reader).Xx

Jonas or Rey?

Have you read this book yet?

Finished it about exactly a day ago (I had a pretty big head start with the preview chapters being like 25% of the book). I loved it. Still trying to process everything (it's a lot). But I loved it! Excited to see what you think about it ❤

I am half way through, enjoyed it so far. Reading slow so that I can savor every moment but boy I CAN'T wait to see the sanderlanche Brandon has planned.

Hello❤

Hype Year for non fiction for me. Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green and Fahrenheit 182 by Mark Hoppus. Besides that if George RR Martin ever releases Winds of Winter. Been waiting 13years of this next book.

What is your most anticipated book??

How do you write a book with no commas?

New subscriber ❤

I love this layout for a book video- little tidbits while you're reading. Awesome!

Which Christmas books should I read?

I complety agree with you it just made me angry I can get past bully romance if it's a kink both of them have but this isn't a kink they are horrendous and I hated that all this happens and they they will say but they hot just no. I read this one then never continued the series.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who didn't like this book. I was beginning to think I was crazy lmao. It's crazy to me this book got nominated for the goodreads choice awards.

I’ve been reading all dayyy!!! :) I can’t wait to see how this one ends!

What are your predictions?

A couple characters that you have met but didn’t remember are Maya and Nohadon. Maya is Adolin’s shardblade and is a big player in talking to the honorspren. Nohadon was the king from Dalinar’s visions and also the author of the in universe book named “The Way of Kings” Nohadon is admittedly somewhat easy to forget(maybe C-tier) but I feel like Maya is a solid B-tier and potentially has even more room for growth to A-tier.

What do you think of this book?
