"Do you know," I said, "what happens to the hero at the end of the stories?"
"Depends on the story."
"They go home," I whispered.
I felt the room vibrate around me. Jorgen's coffee appeared on the table again, though three of the chairs vanished.
Are you . . . are you all right? M-Bot said in my head. The delvers are going wild right now, Spensa.
At the end of the story . . . at the end of the story, the hero came home, and found herself transformed . . . into someone who didn't belong, and could never belong, with the people she'd left behind. It was the same in almost every story I'd read.
Heroes didn't get to stay and live in the new world they helped create. Even if I pulled off some kind of miracle and saved my people . . . that would be the end of it. For me.
-Brandon Sanderson, Defiant
Just started Skyward. Spensa is kinda hilarious. I do hate that her society still has have and have-nots. And that most exist to be assholes.
Her threats are hilarious though.
I do fuss because she complains at being 4'11...girlie I'm 4'10. You can always be shorter.
Cosmere Characters Meet Non-Cosmere Sanderson Characters
As requested by anon. :)
Namely, Sanderson characters from non-Cosmere works I've actually read, aka Skyward and Frugal Wizard.
1. Ryan Chu (Frugal Wizard) and Amaram (Stormlight)
Ryan: What DOES Sanderson have against handsome, highly competent people? Amaram: I don't know. He just hates us. Ryan: Are we too good at our jobs? Amaram: Are we too handsome? Ryan: Too good with the ladies? Amaram: Too effective in battle? Ryan: Is it that we maybe slightly screw over his precious main character while working on something greater? Amaram: He's SUCH an unforgiving author.
2. Jorgen & Spensa (Skyward) and Vin & Elend (Mistborn)
Vin (narrowing her eyes at Jorgen): You look like a man from a highly wealthy, politically influential background who has a strained relationship with his father, especially after you fall in love with a badass, combative woman from the "wrong" side of society who has special powers needed to save the day. Spensa (narrowing her eyes at Vin): And I'm getting the sense that you had to fight really hard for everything in your life but never gave up, and that you didn't like your man initially because he seemed wealthy and stuck up but eventually you realized that he matched your freak pretty exactly. Jorgen: Oh wow, we definitely need to set up a double date! Elend: Did we just become best friends?
3. Cobb (Skyward) and Harmony (Mistborn)
Cobb: ...and it's honestly horrible, constantly loading children into that munitions chamber to be spent into empty shells. Harmony: I know what you mean. Every time I cannot act, I have to call upon Wax to be my gun once again. Cobb: And then they go out... Harmony: And then he goes out... Cobb: And they die! Harmony: And he kills tons of people! Cobb: ... Harmony: ... Cobb: I think you got your metaphor backwards there, friend. Harmony: I think it's you.
4. John (Frugal Wizard) and Painter (Yumi)
John: [holds out his hand for a fist bump] John: Fellow loser protagonist? My man. Painter: I-I'M NOT FIST BUMPING TO THAT
5. Kimmalyn (Skyward) and Adolin (Stormlight)
Adolin: It can be tough to be the most emotionally intelligent person in the cast, huh? Kimmalyn: Tough? I dunno about that! I like being able to help my friends! Adolin: I mean, me too! Adolin: But we're both so friendly and mostly upbeat that I think people sometimes forget we have our own problems. Kimmalyn: Yeah...I missed some shots that haunted me for a long time... Adolin: And I stabbed a guy through the eye in an alley. Kimmalyn: Well, bless your stars!
6. Sefawynn (Frugal Wizard) and Demoux (Mistborn/Stormlight)
Demoux: Off-worlders giving you a hard time? Sefawynn: I'm sorry? Demoux: People from other worlds? Coming to your planet and messing everything up? Sound familiar? Sefawynn: My husband is from another world. Sefawynn: I would not say that he "messed things up." He helped save us. Demoux: [Crumping up a Seventeenth Shard pamphlet in frustration] How great for you.
7. Spensa (Skyward) and Jasnah (Stormlight Archive)
Jasnah: So these "Cytonic" abilities of yours give you access to the "Nowhere." Spensa: That's right. Why? Jasnah: Which is some kind of extra-dimensional space that exists alongside your "normal" space where time is strange and timeless creatures exist? Spensa: The Delvers, yeah. Jasnah: You are basically a sci-fi Eslecaller. Spensa: ... Spensa: A what?
8. M-Bot (Skyward) and Nightblood (Warbreaker/Stormlight)
M-Bot: Hiiii! Nightblood: Hello!!! M-Bot: I can already tell that you're a kindred spirit. Nightblood: Yeah!! M-Bot: Do you want to read my ongoing work "The Greater Argument for Human Origination Chaos" (GAFHOC)? Nightblood: Well I don't think I can read, but you can tell me about? M-Bot: My main thesis is that "humans are weird." Nightblood: ...And evil? M-Bot: No, gotta go with "weird." Weird creatures, humans. Nice. Squishy sometimes. But weird. Nightblood: Mmmm...I think you're missing the "evil" part. Nightblood: I was created to destroy evil, you know! M-Bot: I was created to document mushrooms! Maybe! Nightblood: Does the "M" stand for Mushrooms? M-Bot: Yes! Or possibly "massacre" according to Spensa. Nightblood: Ooooh, I like "massacre." Massacre is cooler than mushrooms! M-Bot: Uh, you haven't seen my very cool mushrooms. Nightblood: Well, let's see them. M-Bot: I love having a friend!
If I had a nickel for every time I read a Brandon Sanderson series where the main character is a girl who discovers and hones her superpowers, transcending things even superpowered humans should have any ability to do, and has romantic development with a rich boy who ends up having the same type of powers, but he's significantly less skilled than she is, but he becomes the leader of their society during an emergency, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Now that I'm caught up on the Cosmere, I'm hopping into Skyward. I've already read some of them, but between my goldfish brain and the two? Three? Mental breakdowns I've had since, I don't remember much.
Anyways, I love Spensa, she's such a bloodthirsty lunatic. I hope she gets to crush the skulls of her enemies beneath her boots while their children wail limitations to the sky, which is something all little girls deserve.
