    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Lol I have a few friends that hold this guy so high. I've read a few books of his but it wasn't my thing. They insisted I obviously didn't get it.

I stopped reading after he adopted the whole Cosmere thing. I believe his writing took a turn for the worse after he started trying to tie them all together.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 21 minutes ago

Bruh they've been connected since the beginning. He wrote like 15 books before one actually got published. One of his unpublished books (which is available for free on his site) has the beginning of it.

Are you sure it's just it wasn't as edge-lord dark after Mistborn?

Oh that sounds like a nightmare to make it work and not limit the creation of most new works. This is the first time I've heard about that.

Shit people like Patrick Rothfuss wrote himself into a corner in only a couple books, attaching series is asking for stumps. Just let works be free and seperate

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 1 points 35 minutes ago (1 children)

I think I read the first half of the mistborn series and just gave up.

[–] wry@sh.itjust.works 2 points 32 minutes ago

Heh. You didn't miss much and I didn't make it much farther I think (I'm not actually sure how many books there are in that series anymore).
