Bruh they’ve been connected since the beginning. He wrote like 15 books before one actually got published. One of his unpublished books (which is available for free on his site) has the beginning of it.
Are you sure it’s just it wasn’t as edge-lord dark after Mistborn?
Oh that sounds like a nightmare to make it work and not limit the creation of most new works. This is the first time I’ve heard about that.
Shit people like Patrick Rothfuss wrote himself into a corner in only a couple books, attaching series is asking for stumps. Just let works be free and seperate
Its not building a world, it’s merging several worlds and then saying the physics all match up and the magic only works in one way or another while not working in other areas. Dudes got like 80 books or some shit. Unless he was really just using the same stuff over and over which would get tired by the second or third series, I just don’t see how it would blend well.
if you read them you’ll see that they do blend well
it sounds like you won’t, but I have read everything published and the numerous magic systems all feel very unique, but are based on a very sound central logic
one of his foundational tenets in writing magic systems is something like exploring the limits of a magic system before you expand it, and he absolutely does that
mistborn’s second trilogy is a perfect example of that, there’s not new magic, or at least not much of it, but a remixing of what was in the first trilogy and all of the implications of that remixing was more than enough for the second trilogy
Yeah The Name of the Wind was supposed to be 3 or 4 books and he got through 2 and just hit a dead spot I guess. Reviews are mixed but I liked the first one. Second I think got a little weird but alright. Many didn’t like it because they say the character was “good at everything no matter what” and I disagree with that because the story is a biography being written about him and he (a stage performer born to traveling circus members) is telling the story. … So yes. The dude isn’t going to say he was shit at telling left from right or math. He’s going to recount everything as being through “rose tinted glasses” because that’s the story he wants people to read about him.
Lol I have a few friends that hold this guy so high. I’ve read a few books of his but it wasn’t my thing. They insisted I obviously didn’t get it.

I think I read the first half of the mistborn series and just gave up.

If building a world limits your options, you’re really not doing it correctly.
