  • A path and a road are similar, yes. However, an impasse is something that is not passable, which is why the original commenter was confused.

    Also, the word impasse is more frequently used as a metaphor than its literal definition. Something like “The arguing couple was at an impasse, neither budging in their position.”


  • In addition to what the other players have said, you can also do the “Beneath Cursed Sands” speedrun worlds trick to practice in Mor Ul Rek.

    To do this, log into a Speedrun world, then start the Beneath Cursed Sands speedrun.

    Use a minigame teleport to get to the Fight Pits, then walk past the fight caves entrance to the fire gate. You should have a fire cape in your inventory to get past the gate.

    From there continue to the far end of the cave and talk to the guy sitting on a large throne. After talking a bit he’ll offer to have you do a combat test. The first one is against a single Jad.

    On your way there, there’s a bank chest where you can grab an inventory of gear for the fight including a rune crossbow, food, and potions. Likely a bit under what you’ll be using for the real fight, but if you can do it with the crossbow, you’ll have an easy time with a blowpipe.

    Good luck!!










  • Happy to help! I’ve been involved in the Cosmere fandom for… Way too long now.

    Lift is pretty divisive, so I don’t blame you. She’s supposed to be the main character for book 6. Hopefully she matures a bit during the time jump after book 5 (promise this isn’t a spoiler, it’s been planned this way since the beginning) because otherwise 1k+ pages of her is gonna be grating.

    Again not spoiling, but her flashbacks could be interesting, ie: visiting the nightwatcher, stuff with her mom, etc.

    Dawnshard is definitely the better of the Stormlight novellas. It’s a fun sailing adventure about Rysn. Definitely pick it up after OB.


  • Warbreaker is more political intrigue heavy than other Sanderson books. It’s mainly about two sister princesses, Siri and Vivenna. They find their destinies switched at the stroke of a pen. Colorful chaos ensues.

    It’s a good read and pretty self-contained, but he’s said he wants to do sequels for it eventually (read: it’s been on the back-burner for almost 20 years. He’s just now getting to the Elantris sequels that he also promised…)

    The biggest crossover to Stormlight is that it contains the origin of a particular sword.

    It’s also available for free on his website.
