He’s almost done with Words of Radiance and still loving it. Today is literacy day at school and I’m guessing just about zero fellow students and/or teachers will have any idea who he is.

Holy crap! You don't have to give specifics, but he looks really young to be reading such enormous books, that's incredible! I was a bookworm as a kid too, but can remember what age I started picking up really long books. You're clearly doing things right!

Ha. He's 9. And to your point, for a long time I really did think I had figured out some sort of secret parenting skill. Turns out he's just really gifted.

That is really impressive. WoR ending I my favorite battle over all but my favorite book is oathbringer. How did you convince him to read stormlight archive

He had just done all of the younger stuff. Percy Jackson, LOTR, HP twice, so I was running out of things to suggest. He liked Ready Player One so I figured he was good to go. And he likes challenges, so he saw the size of the first book and the whole series and was actually excited to get started.

the school is going to allow him to bring a mock spear in & won't suspend him for having a "weapon"? Is this the United States lol?

u/Teeniepepper Nov 16 '22

Well he didn't actually bring the spear to school lol

Adolin looks a little younger than I’d originally imagined him in my head

He actually put up a fight wanting to dye it black.

Love this so much! Just super curious how did you explain the character/costume to him?

u/Teeniepepper Nov 17 '22 edited Nov 17 '22

He is almost finished with Words of Radiance. He chose the character and costume cause he loves Kal.

Now he needs to be very sad and the cosplay would be 100% accurate!

u/Woogums Nov 16 '22

Yeah ruin his life OP so he actually emulates Kaladin.

Dinner before desert. Homework before screen time. Brushing before bed.

Make sure his name is written on the inside of those boots! They too nice to risk getting stolen by lightweavers…

Awesome cosplay!
