:: Spoiler discussion on DragonSteel Prime and also Way Of Kings Prime

Brandon Sanderson [email protected]English • 7 months ago

Has anyone read thoroughly DragonSteel and WayOfKings both as Prime-versions as well as the normal canonical versions?

spoiler

Spoiler WayOfKings Prime seems to be better than DragonSteel Prime.

     I found DragonSteel Prime kind of not a very good or even cohesive storyline compared to the WayOfKings Prime. 

      WayOfKings-Prime reads almost like if someone tried to "Hollywood"-ify BrandoSando's WoK without really reading anything about Cosmere.

      But DragonSteel-Prime reads like some crazy drunk person tried to combine Pug/Magician and BelGarion/Belgariad(David Eddings )  and some more fantasy settings. 

      I want more of these stories, the first drafts and the final editions !  It is very very fascinating how each story got revised, cut, re-written, re-arranged, etc.

I liked the stone/mineral magic system in WoKP. And the fain magic vs human magic in DPP.
