CosmereBuddyRead

Warbreaker | Brandon Sanderson

I‘m a little bit late today. My modem decided to freak out and I spent most of the day trying to get the tiniest bit of internet. They are sending a new one, but it‘s going to take a couple of days. I might disappear again, but I will eventually be back. Anyway, I did not expect the story to go where it did. Sanderson never fails to surprise me. I can‘t wait to hear what you all think. #CosmereBuddyRead

JacqMac @Andrew65 @Meshell1313 @Jess861 @DogMomIrene @BookBelle84 @PageShifter @rabbitprincess @Leniverse @JenlovesJT47 @Roary47 How is everyone doing with the pace? All caught up? 12h

Andrew65 @JacqMac I‘ve just started chapter 15 so only about two weeks behind now 😂 Better than 2 books behind! 😳 Hope to catch up before the next book! Really enjoying this one. Very different to the initial trilogy. Interesting to see how (if) if joins up in the future. 12h

Andrew65 Good luck with your internet issues. 12h

JacqMac @Andrew65 Two weeks is much closer. Lol I‘m starting to panic a little because I haven‘t been able to find a copy of the next book yet, but I‘m sure I will get one in time. I‘m also wondering if there will be a crossover of some sort in the future. 11h

Andrew65 @JacqMac What is the next book we‘re reading? Up to Chapter 19 now! 10h

JacqMac @Andrew65 The Way of Kings is up next. It‘s the beginning of another series, that ends with the last book on our list. It‘s a bit of a mixed up list. But I‘m trusting the process. lol 9h

Andrew65 @JacqMac Good progress tonight, got up to the start of Chapter 23. Thanks for the information on the book. Interesting section tonight, and still trying to work out what is going on. 8h

It‘s all starting to come together now. The girls make more sense to me. Also, I have a little crush on Lightsong. #CosmereBuddyRead.

Meshell1313 😂 yes! I keep hoping he‘ll end up with Siri! What do we think of the magic system? 1w

Leniverse I've fallen so far behind! I'm still on the previous book. My Easter Crime reading hasn't helped. Fortunately this weekend will be the 24-hour readathon, and I intend to do a Cosmere binge. 😁 Am I right that this one is a standalone? Is it the same world, different era, or completely different? 1w

Meshell1313 @Leniverse oooh I‘m excited to see what you think of the ending of Hero of ages! This one I believe is a stand alone in the Cosmere world but I think the magic system makes it feel very different. But it‘s just as good- maybe even better. 1w

JacqMac @Meshell1313 I love the magic system. Breath and colors is a genius idea. I like you aren‘t quite taking their soul, but you‘re taking their colors. You can picture a little piece of them missing. 7d

JacqMac @Leniverse Yes, it‘s a standalone. Everyone and everything is different, yet it feels similar. Probably because it‘s the same universe. You‘ll see when you start reading. It‘s big, but I find it even harder to put down. I don‘t think you‘ll have any trouble catching up. 7d

Leniverse @Meshell1313 @JacqMac I'm intrigued! Also curious as to what makes them the same world/universe. I'll make sure my kindle is fully charged for the weekend! 7d

rabbitprincess I loooove that Lightsong seems to have been a detective or investigator in a previous life! My first thought was “Sweet, free murder mystery with my fantasy novel” 😂 His desire to seem indolent and frivolous reminds me a bit of Lord Peter Wimsey, but there is probably another detective out there who is a closer match. Maybe Columbo? 4d

JacqMac @rabbitprincess I love his sarcasm so much. lol 4d

Roary47 @rabbitprincess I agree I love the murder mystery detective side and really just Lightsong himself! He is such a fun character especially when he is with “Scoot”. I really like the God King and Siri‘s growing relationship and the mystery of why shortly after the heir is born the God King might die. What is really going on? I hope Siri and Lightsong are able to get to the bottom of it. 3d

Andrew65 Finally catching up and starting this, now only 19 days behind 😂 1d

I am in love with this one already. Sanderson is so great with character development. I was thinking that he might keep the magical system somewhat the same for the whole universe, but I guess not. Just where does he come up with these ideas?

Meshell1313 At first I was sad to leave Elend and Vin! But now I‘m even more obsessed with Siri and Vivenna! I also expected the metal magic system but now this one involves colors? I‘m hooked! 2w

rabbitprincess My skin was crawling for a good chunk of this first part at the idea of the king of Idris having to send a daughter to be a « vessel » to the God King ? the colour magic system is cool, though, and both Siri and Vivenna seem to be holding their own so far ?? 2w

JacqMac @rabbitprincess I do find it hard to believe that someone with a strong independent personality would react the way Siri did. I expected her to put up a fight or run away or something. But I guess we will see where it goes. 2w

Roary47 I finally got through the first part, and I also am loving it! @rabbitprincess I agree with dreading one of the daughters being a “vessel” and also how she is even called this when she gets there. I really like the changing hair color like a mood ring, and there is deeper stories I‘m exciting to unfold. Hopefully, I can catch up so I can chat at the same time with everyone at our next checkin. 🥰 1w

Repost for @JacqMac

Warbreaker is up next in our #CosmereBuddyRead. I have split it into four parts. Each section will be about 160 pages per week. I‘m really enjoying doing this with other Littens. This one is a standalone, if anyone would like to jump in and join us, we would love to have you.

Meshell1313 I‘m sad to leave Vin & Elend but can‘t wait to meet a new crew! Thanks again for hosting! 3w

rabbitprincess Heck yeah! I have been enjoying this Sanderson spree so much 🤩 I do want to get back to taking proper chapter notes though 😂 (edited) 3w

Roary47 Oooo count me in on this one. 🤩 3w

The Hero of Ages: Book Three of Mistborn | Brandon Sanderson

Wow. I‘m okay with how it all ended. And I love that it wasn‘t predictable. But I‘m kinda sad about it, too. I can‘t wait to hear what you all think. I‘m looking forward to starting Warbreaker. I‘ll post the schedule in a bit. Just deciding how to split it into parts.

JacqMac @Andrew65 @Meshell1313 @jess861 @DogMomIrene @BookBelle84 @PageShifter @rabbitprincess @Leniverse @JenlovesJT47 Let me know if you want me to stop tagging you at any time. 3w

Meshell1313 Ok what do we think? Was it always supposed to be Sazed? I‘m not happy with the ending, but I‘m satisfied! Know what I mean? 3w

JacqMac @Meshell1313 I mean, it makes sense that it‘s Sazed, so I‘m okay with it. But I really wasn‘t expecting it to be. Maybe I missed some clues. I think I might find myself rereading the whole trilogy one day. I think I might find things that I missed. 3w

Meshell1313 @JacqMac yes-like he was probably giving away all the clues if we only knew what to look out for! On to the next! 💕 3w

rabbitprincess @Meshell1313 I totally know what you mean! @JacqMac I‘d be totally down to rereas the trilogy someday! 3w

rabbitprincess I literally gasped out loud (on the bus 😅) at what happened to Elend, especially because of how directly and simply it was stated. I found Sanderson consistently good at that casual shock throughout the trilogy. High stakes, real consequences. But lovely moments too, like the flowers 😭😭😭 3w

JacqMac @rabbitprincess Right? I love Sanderson‘s style. That was such a beautiful ending for Vin and Elend. 3w

Andrew65 I got way behind due to life and some health issues. Trying to play catch up. Currently half way through Hero Of Ages and hope to be caught up before every one finishes War Breaker. 6d

JacqMac @Andrew65 It‘s so annoying when life gets in the way. I‘m sure you‘ll catch up without a problem. 6d

Andrew65 Finished the trilogy and moving onto WarBreaker today. 1d

-I‘m right handed. It‘s really weird that arthritis is hitting my left hand so much harder.
- No, it isn‘t. That‘s your book holding hand.

Ugh… IT‘S MY BOOK HOLDING HAND.

Anyway, I‘m not putting this down until I finish it.

Meshell1313 Oh noooo! And his books are heavy! 🥺 4w

ChaoticMissAdventures oh no!! Hope you feel better soon - find something that gives you relief! One of my friends I read with at my local cafe has been trying to get through one of his series for 2 years, every week I have a different book and Jenny luggs in her Sanderson 😂 4w

Overchoice: Too Many Choices, Too Little Time (First Edition) | Christian Glide, Fredrick M. Chilson

I forgot to post my list, but here are my #ReadYourKindle books. I'm quite eager to read them all, but will I actually do it? Probably not, since my kindle also contains 3 books from this year's #WomensPrize for fiction, 1 from the #InternationalBooker and the #CosmereBuddyRead books 🤷🏻‍♀️ I know it all counts, but damn I really want to read these four as well.

@CBee

CBee I feel your pain! 😂 4w
