Bugs were already freaky, that’s just par for the course!

I will never forgive Brandon for making a bug crab monster so adorable

Painter’s world for me. It’s just such a vibe, I don’t know what else to say.

Cautiously interested. Over time I’ve grown less concerned about accuracy in adaptations as long as the end result is good (look at how popular the MCU or How To Train Your Dragon series are, or the Spider-Verse films which are some of my favorite movies period), but Season 1 did have some big flaws and the final two episodes were… not great. I enjoyed the first six fine though, so I’m willing to give them a chance to show what they’ve learned. The trailer looks fine, but obviously that’s not a lot to go off of.

One of my favorite Sanderson books period. In fact, while I don’t want to state it too definitively because recency bias is real, I think this may very well be his best individual book to date (it’s hard to fairly compare a series to a single novel though). Everything about it was so well-done, I wish I knew more about the behind-the-scenes of storytelling so I could compliment it properly.

There is one other story I know of which has been partially released, The Eyes (a precursor to Skyward), about fifteen pages of which were posted to the Writing Excuses Patreon. However, in addition to feeling kind of iffy about pointing people to paying $10 for a very small sample from a very rough draft, the tier the file was attached to does not actually exist anymore, so I’m not sure whether subscribing even will give it to you now or not. As such, I’ve left it off the list.
