I saw the math in the thumbnail and thought about switching majors...(no but seriously-)

My gf likes your outfit, she said she will read yumi this year

My ADHD kept making me pay attention to the movement of books being signed and not to the subject I really wanted to care about :')

I like now this is brandon speaking as

Kate Reading is unbearable

OMG, Lift is a dragon. It all makes sense now. :)

DRINK ALLOWED IN AUDITORIUM

This book is going to be so incredible.

I think Brandon underestimates how much Sigzil stands out in Bridge 4. Early on, he's much more similar to the rest of them. Especially in Words of Radiance he stands out by being a bigger part of conversations and offering a unique perspective that tells us more about the world.

I tried Audible Got to Rythm of War Had to go back and read the text versions that narrators voice is like valium

seeing how innocent Szeth was when he was young, and the passion he had for life really breaks my heart knowing what he ends up becoming...what ends up happening to him.

Honestly don’t get all the comments here frustrated that this is only one book- or that it wasn’t published. Absolutely loved it- but if he’d published this we would have never gotten stormlight- or at least not in the same way. Just remember, as awesome as Jeri is- Kaladins bridge 4 is so much better. I’m glad this story built the foundation for our stormlight archive- instead of being published as is.

Well, this video came out at the perfect time since I found out my son is going to be born in October

Steelheart would need to be an anime

Great episode

This is genuinely better than Elantris and Warbreaker

Brandon, The description of your relationship reminds me of my marriage. Our third kid was born in october and we're still living a healthy, peacful love!

Also had it on gameboy as a kid, miss that big grey square of plastic, lol. I know this is awful, but I remember that it really hit me that the cold war was over when the character Linka from Captain Planet changed from being from the USSR to "Eastern Europe".

I think the MCU got it right in the beginning. Back when Agents Of Shield was on, the movies did the main storytelling but the shows talked about the stuff that was happening in the background. These things didn't really impact the bigger picture but it was still a great story. I loved AOS. Sort of felt like a breath of fresh air while still enjoying the MCU. Now the shows and movies are way too intertwined. Maybe authors can figure out a way to work with that. Some stories can be more or less disconnected while still exploring the world while other books fill out the main plot

I'm probably of the few who like szeth and moash and not full of goody 2 shoes hatred of grey characters

This was 2022, yet you posted it May 2024. You are confusing the Dragonsteel timeline. Bearded Brandon Vs Beardless Brandon. I'm so confused.

The way he frets over the rock and the implications of moving it, he is truly a little Skybreaker, isn’t he? Also, the way he’s being asked to make the decision here reflects the skybreaker ideal of becoming the law itself

Hi Brandon Sanderson, im having a problem with my fantasy novel titles. It seems like every title i come up with, is already taken. No matter what i think of, i hit a quick search, and there it is. What can i do to have an original, yet appealing, title?

I cant wait for rock to have a main character flashback

Banstorm

the population in first world countries will NOT go down. mass immigration will make sure that never happens.

Love your work. Thank you.

I believe the title is off by 2 years.... unless we are watching the flashback?😊

I'm about 90% sure I have heard this before.

Szeth is an allegory for Brandon. Shinovar is Utah.

As much as I love you Brandon, if you would bring in Michael Kramer to read one of these teasers, the crowd would go wild.

My boy Szeth getting his time! So ready for this!

Wait, hasn't this reading (or a reading of the same passage) already been uploaded? It's been a while but it sounds familiar for some reason...

Hey hey, people. Szeth here.

Which stand-alone story would you give a new fantasy reader to make them a fan?

Is that name from demon souls ?

That was awesome!

What was the first draft of Chet like?

I thought it was a great story! Thanks Brandon. I would prefer a continuation, of course

Am I the only one who finds the image of a family being terrified of a rock absolutely hilarious? Like, yes, religious trauma- and yes it makes sense in-world- but it's still funny. Just like how Radiants getting Stormlight from spheres conjures up the mental image of sniffing glass balls. I am not sorry.

Ok but this being a book 1 shouldve been mentioned at the beginning i thought i waa getting a full story

If it takes more than one shot from a large caliber rifle to kill it, it's probably a kaiju.

A lot of the stuff said in this episode is good, but the housing cost issue is not caused by temporary rentals (i.e. AirBNB, VRBO). It's almost all a supply issue, caused by regulations/zoning/NIMBY blocking new housing. Places with less of that have less (or even no ) housing cost issues, places with more of that have bigger housing cost issues.

These words have been accepted

As a fellow dad of similar age, how about just giving the advice that college is a bad place to go... just because..? Stop defaulting to college. Paying it off with a job that didn't need the degree was very annoying.

2022?

This was amazing. I am beyond stoked to hear Szeth's story in SL5.

Will we be able to order signed/numbered editions of Wind and Truth online, again? I’m so scared to miss my chance to order because I’m having a baby next month and will be a bit distracted lol

Pretty sure Brandon just confirmed renarin can bring in different versions of characters we have from his powers, as in if odium gets control somehow, dark dalinar vs knight dalinar

Rewrite Rhythms of Bore, Make Stormlight Great Again!
