What were your opinions of Words of Radiance? How bad is my Cosmere mustache!?

[@stuart1346]

It’s easily the best of the 3 and I’ve seen worse 🤭😉

[@moonam.789]

I LOVED it! I think I was reading a part a day 😂 sleep, who needs sleep

[@matiasgagliardone7545]

It's on my top 5 fantasy books without a doubt.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

@@matiasgagliardone7545 I could definitely see it

[@jordanstevenson8625]

I had no idea there were people who don’t enjoy Kaladin. That’s crazy 😂

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I was mixed on him until the end of TWoK!

[@thus6762]

I’m halfway through TWoK and Dalinar’s storyline is my favourite so far

[@thefantasynuttwork]

We are like minded then cause Dalinar is definitely my dude!

[@fionnbc]

For me kaladin is like a 6.5/10 in my character daddynar is the fucking beast of the saga and book 3 ohhh my oh my

[@nolanschmidt1065]

I loved him in the first book but he kinda got on my nerves in WOR. I didn’t like how long it took for him and Adolin/Shallan to be cool with each other. But by the end of WOR I was ok with him again

[@eggmansizzle]

Every time I read that one part I get chills. "Stretch forth thy hand!" I hated Lift until I read Edgedancer, and now I love her.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Yes let's go!!!!

[@nicktankard1244]

ha i didn't like her in WoR and i HATED her in Edgedancer.

[@Arezoo298195]

I just loved lift from the start and by the end of edgedancer she made it to my top 5 characters. She is by her own definition and in my opinion ‘awesome’!

[@carlsmith4568]

Describing the Sanderlanche as the end of a Marvel movie is a really astute analogy. The end of Oathbringer made me feel like I did when I watched Endgame for the first time.

[@6Rock6God6]

Whitespine Uncaged was an incredible chapter. I was pacing around the house reading it. Spoilers for the chapter if you haven't read it. . . . . . . "Dalinar turned upon the stands full of spectating lighteyes. "You can watch this?" he shouted at them. "My sons fight alone! There are Shardbearers among you. Is there not one of you who will fight with them?" He scanned the crowd. The king was looking at his feet. Amaram. What of Amaram? Dalinar found him seated near the king. Dalinar met the man's eyes. Amaram looked away. No... "What has happened to us?" Dalinar asked. "Where is our honor?" "Honor is dead," a voice whispered from beside him. Dalinar turned and looked at Captain Kaladin. He hadn't noticed the bridgeman walking down the steps behind him. Kaladin took a deep breath, then looked at Dalinar. "But I'll see what I can do. If this goes poorly, take care of my men." Spear in hand, he grabbed the wall and flung himself over, dropping to the sands of the arena floor below." I get chills every time.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Yesss! Absolutely the definition of epic fantasy!

[@gauthamvignesh17]

Yo....still gives me chills

[@Arezoo298195]

That chapter and it’s aftermath in the next all the way to the Kaladin being an idiot moment, gave me such adrenaline rush that when I was done I literally crashed. I mean shaking hands, cold sweat and nausea, the works. My husband took the book away from me after that and gave me some chocolate to recover!

[@thefantasynuttwork]

It's truly that good!!

[@rhodsym643]

Team dalinar for the win! Going to love the next one if dalinar is your favourite.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Great to hear!!

Love ya Jimmy, but we gotta talk about that mustache. Great video as always and I'm definitely pumped to get back into Words of Radiance tomorrow. My slow ass finally finished Warbreaker after struggling this last week with real life.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Hey man we all struggle with the real life so don't worry about it friend, you put out videos and finish books at a pace that I admire a lot! I'm super jacked to hear your opinion of WoR!! The stache has to go soon but I feel like I gotta finish Oathbringer first, though I may cave. Growing facial hair has to be my weakest trait as a human 😂

[@alexnieves]

@@thefantasynuttwork Haha I share your weakness of growing facial hair. You're not alone.

[@leahnutter2499]

This mommanutts😁 First time I seen mustache it needs a little trim. Miss ya and love ya.

[@MattonBooks]

Back catalogue slumming. 😉 Good review, but coolest is seeing how much your production has improved since then. Congrats. 👌🏻 Congrats also on ditching the stache. 😜

[@thefantasynuttwork]

@@thefantasynuttwork And your subscription numbers, I’d guess. 😆

[@jeffcampbell6701]

I like the mustache! 😍

[@CurieBohr]

I have been reading Words of Radiance. It’s hard to put down. The chapter on Lift was like a wall. It was such a shattering of this books pacing. Felt like sitting at a long long red light.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Yeah 😂

[@bergy4367]

Finished WoR a few days ago and loved it more than TWOK minor thing I didn't like about it was the 1st interlude with Rysn other than that book was a 10/10 for me also, I really liked Adolin in this book.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Adolin has really grown on me and I think you’ll LOVE Oathbringer even more!!

[@eagamezz]

Good stuff. Wish you did spoiler reviews. Think your great at breaking down these books.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I've definitely considered it. To be honest I kind of want to do a Stormlight podcast/book club so I can deep dive on it but not sure if the interest levels would be high enough

[@benwilliard]

Would you recommend reading the tie-in novels before continuing with Stormlight? I finished Way of Kings about a week back and I’ve been making my way through Warbreaker. I’m enjoying it but I really want to get to the rest of Stormlight. Having caught up and assuming that you’ve read all the tie-in novels, would you recommend reading them? I’m not sure if you’ll see this with it being almost a year after this video went up but I thought I’d ask anyway. If you did, thanks! And thank you to anyone who gives their input.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Honestly if you're enjoying Stormlight, I say I just read Stormlight. The ties ins can be done any time and none of them are on the level of Stormlight IMO

[@MissCaraMint]

I say give some of them a go and see if you enjoy them, but don’t just read them out of a sense of obligation. Personally I find his short stories to be wonderfull, and they expand the world in a very interesting way, but again they aren’t nessacery, just fun.

[@TheEnthraller]

@@MissCaraMint by book 4 if have read mistborn era1 then it'll be good Even if you don't you won't miss much but the tie ins and why some characters are doing certain things might become clear and who they are

[@SwipeSide19]

lol that mustache!!!! Try a beard dude, with that hair, I think it would be epic!

[@thefantasynuttwork]

The beard is ever worse than the stache when i let it grow hahaha

[@garrettwyckoff8711]

My feeling with Sanderson is that his main characters are some of his most 2 dimensional. I'm not saying that Vin and Kaladin don't have depth, but they are more one note than people like Dalinar and Elend. That being said, I love the worldbuilding of the Cosmere. I enjoy living in these worlds and the length of Stormlight just does it for me over many of his other works. White Spine Uncaged is one of the best chapters in any book and I can't wait for it to be on the screen in the future.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Yeah!!! That chapter is one of the greatest of all time Imo. I do think Kaladin gets much more nuanced by the end of RoW, and I couldn't agree more about loving the worlds he creates

[@Umberloid87]

There is absolutely no way a studio could do this world justice. I can’t in good conscience support the idea of another literary masterpiece being mishandled for a cash grab by Netflix, Hulu, or HBO.

[@silvermoonlight1206]

i just recently finished WoK and i thought that book was if not one of, the best, reads i've ever done in my life. and i've been seing a lot of people thought WoR was even better and im like????? i already love love love WoK and ur saying radiance is even better????? SIGN ME UP

[@thefantasynuttwork]

It’s fantastic

[@dookieshoe2905]

*Spoilers* While Whitespine Uncaged is one of my favorite chapters I need to mention the scene where Kal finally becomes Radiant. That moment where he says, "the knights radiant have returned" had me so hyped I was pumping my fist like a huge nerd. We all knew it was coming but just the two books building up to that moment and having it finally happen in an epic way was huge.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

So epic

[@nicholas4727]

I agree about shallan being a more compelling Charachter than Kaladin. Kaladin is great but he's something we've seen before but probably the best it's ever been done. To me though Shallan feels like something new that we haven't seen before in a fantasy epic. I also have dalinar as my favorite Charachter as well.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Looks like we are on the same wavelength! Well said, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@Michael-zp9gv]

Anyone know where I can find the artwork he puts up there?

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I believe it mostly from Michael Whalen, I can chase them down. I need to be better about listing those, sorry about that

[@Michael-zp9gv]

@@thefantasynuttwork Thanks!

[@aldan7812]

hahahaha - the moustache is gross dude but each to their own ay - this book is the best Cosmere book so far period imo, I went from finishing WoT straight to Way of Kings and this book then devoured the rest of the cosmere lol. This book, is just a cracker, I agree with you it's on a level with the best fantasy ever penned to date :-)

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Yeah the mustache was pretty bad lol

[@RaabStephan]

I also don't like Lift. Even after Edgedancer.

[@Rajathon]

Words of Radience is better paced than Way of Kings but I still like the first book more.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Can't blame you! Both are phenomenal. Without giving any spoilers, did you enjoy book 3 as much?

[@mertcanakyuz6255]

i think the third was the most flawed but also my favorite of the three

[@thefantasynuttwork]

@@mertcanakyuz6255 can't wait to read it

[@caseyas8572]

Dalinor4life before death. Lol I'm actually a Kal guy but I see where you are coming from.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I love both now 😁

[@nicktankard1244]

I'm glad you liked WoR. I'm halfway through Oathbringer and it's so good. PS Lift sucks and Edgedancer is so cringy. But it has some cool lore and a mini sanderlanche :)

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I'll have to just power through 😂

[@tylerblack301]

Hey! Another person who doesn’t like Lift! 🤣

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I'm reading Edgedancer now and I think Lift is a unique character. However the more I read the more I know it's just not a character for me. Only worry is Sanderson said he loves Lift and has a huge role for her later in Stormlight and idk if I'll love that for the series. Keeping an open mind though

[@tylerblack301]

@@thefantasynuttwork I was annoyed with her saying AWESOME about 20 times in the first chapter of Edgedancer. But I agree. She’ll be a key part of the story later on and I’ll just have to accept that.
