It's wild watching recordings of this and being like "I was there! I saw it in person!"

[HeskethMatt]

Half-RAFO for Marsh bonding a spren is WILD

[radosmarkovic]

[LucatheMagician]

i didnt even know about Brandon until 2021 when i read WOT to prepare for the tv series. Then Stormlight archive. Then Mistborn. Then the secret projects. Omg how my reading life has changed for the better. Well, audiobook life to be honest (thanks Kate & Michael!). Oh and the entire Writing Excuses podcast too. Yeah thats just about every waking hour for 3 years.

I like the name, dragonsteel plaza. Sounds like an video game location where you go to replenich items and rest to recover your hp.😊❤

The second to last answer was beautiful.

[DAMAGEdONE]

We were there <3
Had a great time, coming back this year

[enki]

Can't wait for Wind and Truth!!!! Zeth is my favorite character!

[ZnaharDima]

When Brandon described his art review process I immediately remembered some similar scene in Warbreaker...

[ramirodecono]

Awesome as always! Anybody know what happened to the White Sand official version? A few months ago Brandon was talking about it, but I haven’t heard him mention anything for a while

[EllenSmyth]

Baxil was normal before, right? Love, love, love that we see Axies, again!

[Fatikis]

More difficult the more you add! I theorized this years ago with my siblings!
This is amazing. Confirms a lot of what we thought.

[sethrobbins]

When are we getting the Horneater novella?

[juancamilocalvache]

Wow an Alcatraz question, that's not usual

[Jazxob]

Hi! Love your books, just finished mistborn, hope to read many more!
Any recommendations?

[silverdragon]

I still want to know if you can have more the one active bond at a time. Two "living" spren?
