For me, the hardest part of Sanderson's books to let go of are the magic systems. Both of these books are stand alone novels that I wish weren't! <br /><br />Yeah, I've read about <i>The Way of the Kings</i> magic system, but it's not the same as reading and seeing how it works, is used, and such, you know.<br /><br />The thing I like most about Sanderson is that he seems to be able to pop GREAT books out left and right and your not waiting Two Years for the next novel. That's an awesome quality to have when it comes to writing.... I'm sorry to say this but Rothfuss needs to get on the ball with <i>The Wise Man's Fear</i>(IMO)....It makes you wonder if he'll be able to top his first novel, and what will happen once it's finally out???Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246520046645594673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010663855553878264.post-89147421926334770432009-09-18T04:58:45.185-07:002009-09-18T04:58:45.185-07:00Colton Read - sad story.

Sometimes I wonder if it's wise to make such long reaching plans for our lives and then build everything around that plan when things can be so completely altered in a nanosecond.

I heard a bit today about the magic system he's going to use in The Way of the Kings, and it sounds cool... I won't spoil the surprise for you if you don't want to... but he talks about it in the videos I linked to in Thursday's post.<br /><br />Abbie: I should award bonus points for puns put in comments... that's a good idea, thanks!David Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594244647778062784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010663855553878264.post-80764626026000865402009-09-17T17:27:42.535-07:002009-09-17T17:27:42.535-07:00haha, oh man, that video has been on yahoo and msn...haha, oh man, that video has been on yahoo and msn and all over the place! lol, that is so cute though :) The dad had such a sweet smile without getting mad, what a good dad!! <br />lol, Chris is amazing :) Looks like she had a blast! no pun intended lol.Abbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010663855553878264.post-67641817919665009802009-09-17T10:18:16.272-07:002009-09-17T10:18:16.272-07:0015 points for Krista, and 5 for Havah!

I haven't read either book, and probably won't, but I get the feel of them none-the-less. Nicely done.<br /><br />You know, it never ceases to amaze me that we're around the same age, and you have a daughter that age! I'm always surprised somehow. Anyway... Wish I could go shooting again sometime. There's just nothing like seeing all those nicely grouped holes in a target. :) Btw..."evaporated from my brainpan"? You do come up with some unique witticisms! *lol*<br /><br />Stories like that one (Colton Read) burn me up. Guess we'll have to see if the news keeps tab on the story so we can too.<br /><br />Aww...poor dad! *lol* And poor little girl...that's going to be one of those stories repeated every baseball season until she shuffles off this mortal coil.<br /><br />Quote on the other.havahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369953248075213051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010663855553878264.post-56992732698074861712009-09-17T06:42:29.650-07:002009-09-17T06:42:29.650-07:00"But I have nothing to give you.

The writing style is great, the story is brilliant, and everything flows logically and perfect.

Mine was Kelsier, he's awesome! How are you liking the magic system, cool, eh? I can't wait until his new series comes out, <i>The Way Of The Kings</i>. Especially to see what new magic system he invents! That's my favorite thing about Sanderson, he never seizes to amaze when it comes to his unique, well thought out, and though-provoking magic systems. Anyway, I could go on forever about Sanderson and his books....<br /><br />I have never shot a gun before and I don't know if I ever will but your daughter looks awesome shooting that huge gun! Wow, it's huge!<br /><br />I will definitely be praying for Colton and his family. That truly is a sad story...thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Very cool and funny video! LOL! Poor Dad couldn't believe what just happened.<br /><br />Okay now onto movie quotes...Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246520046645594673noreply@blogger.com
