just remembered how during christmas break we got stopped at three different tsa checks cause they had no idea what the Dense Block in my moms backpack could be other than a bomb or brick of drugs. shout out Way of Kings by brandon sanderson!

this thing is 4x2.5x7 inches. literally more than half as thick as it is wide.

This scene was so cute! I had to switch to the audiobook, so I could draw them.

Back in ROW I was worried Jasnah was being set up to be the villain for like books 8-10 (it was her being the 10th flashback character + her arc in ROW) and I think that would be fun but be a disservice to her character and I am happy with where she is going post WAT

you know i never really considered a jasnah villain arc but yeah it wouldve been kinda cool actually lol. i think about how she's the 10th flashback character all the timeeeeeee though like just knowing how long we're gonna have to wait to understand whatever she has been hinting about her childhood kills me. either way i completely agree i think her post wind and truth fall from grace was insane and sets up a lot of room for her to grow in the next half of the series

“I’m sorry, Kal,” Moash said, stepping forward. “I should have made it quick at the start.”

The Words, Kaladin. That was Syl’s voice. You have to speak the Words!

I FORBID THIS.

YOUR WILL MATTERS NOT! Syl shouted. YOU CANNOT HOLD ME BACK IF HE SPEAKS THE WORDS! THE WORDS, KALADIN! SAY THEM!

“I will protect even those I hate,” Kaladin whispered through bloody lips. “So long as it is right.”

A Shardblade appeared in Moash’s hands.

A distant rumbling. Thunder.

THE WORDS ARE ACCEPTED, the Stormfather said reluctantly.

Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance

I didn’t know jemisin was involved with the Isabell fall situation til I read your post :/ that disappoints me so much because this isn’t the only time she’s been involved in random twitter disputes that ended up just punching down on some otherwise unknown individual (thinking of the Sarah dessen debacle from a few years ago). It’s just disappointing I guess coming from someone whose work I respect a lot

my goodness i actually hadn't heard about the sarah dessen thing. like i heard about it when i happened but the list of authors who spoke out in support of her passed by my notice.....authors fr need to get off social media i have thought this for years and have not been proved wrong yet. i still think broken earth is worth the read but truly get the fuck off twitter there is no community to be built there when artists rely on the space to market themselves

So how do you think the darkeyed politics resolved in WAT? I remember seeing so much criticism on it for previous books but I'm only seeing some stuff for this one.

oh bad lol. it's always bad. i think maybe it was less insanely tone deaf and more just not physically in the book for sa5 (just as bad) so maybe that's why you're seeing less of it but it's always bad. i think white fantasy authors often find examples of racism and classism or real world historical models of oppression and think "hooray hooray a fun little thing i can use to spice up my worldbuilding" and not in the real sense of like. this is a thing that happens to people and affects their worldview in a way that sometimes doesn't befit a narrative arc. i remember watching a 'what your fave fantasy series say about you' yt video by a popular fantasy booktuber years ago who got to n. k. jemisin's broken earth series (the best series to ever have done the fantasy racism thing imo) and said "if this is your fave series you probably care more about The Message than you do anything else about the book" and man. fuck off lol. wtf is that supposed to mean? like oh a black woman took fantasy racism SERIOUSLY and immediately white people send her award winning series to fucking DEI hell? just write her off immediately because theyre not used to actually examining the oppression so many of them love writing about?

i wasn't expecting anything different from stormlight 5 and there were a couple of wins (kaladin's eyes, mentioning the kharbranth murders, what seems to be irrefutable narrative destiny that points to a positive moash resolution, some singer stuff but not all) but it doesnt change the fact that people who read way of kings and expected a story that cared more about dismantling systems of power than it did about writing....how many? two full on sieges? two sieges with the promise of a third? are going to feel cheated out of what was set up early in the series.
