[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Brandon Sanderson released the first book of his multi-book epic fantasy last week and it has all of the epic qualities that made Wheel of Time great without the over-abundance of characters and endless description that people tend to fault in WoT. Sanderson's narrative is much more focused and his stories are more crafted, I believe. If you loved Wheel of Time I think this series is the only thing that will have ever compared favorably to it. Sanderson also has a reputation for his work ethic and consistent ability to release quality novels. I do not believe his series will ever get strung out over three decades like WoT did. Sanderson also seems to believe in each novel having a self contained story so I think his cliffhangers will continue to be both intriguing and light. -----signature----- If I have burnt my bridges I will walk on water.

	I'm a huge Wheel of Time fan, so when I heard Brandon Sanderson was finishing the series i checked out Elantris and quickly moved through his Mistborn trilogy and Warbreaker. I'm hooked and excited to continue reading Sanderson's future works. I occasionally hit up his website (http://brandonsanderson.com/) for updates and noticed he made a post telling people that tor.com had sample chapters for this book. After reading through the sample chapters i was hooked! So, I immediately went and picked up a copy from Borders... and I have to say, this thing is a monster 1000 pages! I'm about halfway through and already looking forward to the rest of the series (and dreading the wait times between releases). Now to patiently await WoT book 13 -----signature----- DAOC -- Geft Snowball -- Iseult FFXI -- Geft -- Lakshmi WoW -- Geft - Torean -- Alliance -- Frostwolf FFXIV -- Geft Snowball -- Mysidia

	To be fair to Jordan here, book one of the WoT series was also more focused and had less characters. It didn't get bogged down until book four or so. That being said though, I look forward to picking up the book as soon as I'm done reading Brent Weeks new book. -----signature----- (none)

	Recently read Mistborn, and I have to say I'm very impressed with Sanderson. I'll be picking up this as well, and I'm looking forward to reading it -----signature----- I has a flavor! CC always welcome.
