Hi! It's been kinda quiet around here, so I thought I would spice it up a bit! I looked all around for meme ideas, and came up with this one that I found on the BookMemes community.

Gosh, I haven't read anything at all this year! I tried reading one of Brandon Sanderson's newer works and Seraphina, but both have gone unfinished! So my answers for these would have to be from the ones I've read before ( ... )

I've only read Fullmetal's this year! I tried to read Brandon Sanderson's Way of Kings, but I could not get into it, with the 2 useless prologues, and the length of the book ..... Oh yeah! I read Spirit's End, too ( ... )

ooks here, picking a fight XD

I think Josef if the conscience of the Eli/Josef relationship. I think Eli is all about Eli and he's not above using people to get what he wants. Like every time they fight over Nico - I mean, I know that Josef gets *extra* touchy about Nico, but he's right, Eli is a con, and he didn't mind manipulating Nico's emotions to get what he wanted. I just feel like Josef is the steadiest of the two of them.

Hadrian is totally the conscience of Riyria, no argument there :)

*is finished picking fights, now*

Maybe I should have said that Eli is the thinking part of Eli&co - Josef sees a swordsman and says, OK let's fight!

Especially to one who carries 3 swords just like he does!

Josef is definitely steady, and Eli does know how to play on people's emotions to get what he wants .....

Stay out of trouble now! :P

I'm actually liking Way of Kings. I agree that the beginning was really weak, compared to how Mistborn started, but I think it's because Elantris and Mistborn can be standalones, but Sanderson planned WoK to be part of a 10-book series, so he's really taking his time to get things started. But I really like Kaladin so far ( ... )

10 books??????? 10 books??????? Are they all supposed to be as big as Way of Kings??????? I think I was put off by the 2 prologues (which I always have a hard time with, because they only make sense at the *end* of the series), but the weight of taking it back and forth to work everyday! Maybe I'll take it out again when I'm not bringing a school book in, too ( ... )

Yeah, I think he's fashioning them after those epic fantasy series. Probably to compete with Game of Thrones, but that's just my conjecture; and from what I've heard about GoT, I'd most likely choose Sanderson anyday ( ... )

Sorry about the delay .... I had a response half typed up the other day, but the computer decided I had too much running and it was going to shut everything down ( ... )

mander_lee April 11 2014, 00:56:41 UTC

Yeah, I agree about GoT. I mean, I understand that it's actually a very good piece of work, but I'm really not into that kind of "grit"; people like grit because it makes things edgy and interesting, but I dunno, I guess my interest is better held by other factors ( ... )
