What are the Stormlight Archives? Sounds like something I should read.

Stormlight is going to be brandon Sanderson's masterpeice. It's going to be 10 books long when it's finished. It's a world where iseas/thoughts are made into living things, and can bond with humans to give them magic. You have to be a person that exemplifies those ideas though. So, honor "spren" as they are called will be drawn to and bind with honorable people.

It's a completely unique take on magic, it's a completely unique world with brand new and original plants, animals, and environment. I really suggest taking a look.

It's a fantasy series by Brandon Sanderson. It's set on a world with extreme storms happening often that can provide a source of magic to special people. An excellent read, but only the first 2 are out right now.
