As a moderator of all the main Sanderson subreddits, sorry for how defensive fans can be and thanks for making this. 🙂

[@SyllasPoecats]

You're welcome!! I hope you enjoyed us talking for almost four hours there HAHA ♥

[@jharkey3]

I didn't have four hours to spare so I skimmed some, but got most of it. 😅 Some aspects of the treatment of racial/class/slavery issues are definitely my biggest grip with the series and you had some good observations!

[@ProudPlatypus]

I can't find the exact point it was mentioned, but what was the heroic fantasy that was recommended please

[@SyllasPoecats]

"A Chorus of Dragons"! It's a five-book fantasy series by Jenn Lyons, and the first book is called "The Ruin of Kings". hope you enjoy ♥ the series is honestly fantastic

@@SyllasPoecats Thank you :B I think I'll give them a go when I'm done with my current book.

Missing the intent of this exercise - why would you reread such a long series if you have so many problems with it?? Is it to steer ppl away, provide constructive criticism for Brandon or what? It does seem a little cathartic for you, but what a lengthy exercise to get there. Seems like it would be a waste of time the way you are all just joking about how bad the book and series are. Forgive this ignorant criticism of you all, but I am getting the feeling you are getting a lot of personal enjoyment out of seeing how many critiques you can point out to make yourselves feel smarter than Sanderson and the very large fanbase of these books.

[@SyllasPoecats]

I'm generally against the concept of reviewers providing criticism for authors because reviewer and author spaces shouldn't overlap that much in my opinion. As we said towards the beginning of this live stream: this is partially catharsis, partially the need to have some videos out there providing criticism for other readers because it's very hard if not impossible to find any content on BS that engages critically (and in this case also actually negatively) with his works. I don't consider it a waste of time and neither do my two cohorts. We do get personal enjoyment out of being smart enough to spot BS's glaring worldbuilding issues, though, thanks for noticing ♥

@@SyllasPoecats Fair and well said.
