It’s 100% Hoid. There’s a few lines in Chapter 5 where
SP3 Chapter 5 and Epilogue
the narator is talking about how they did the lightweaving to make Design look human, and how they’re frozen in time and used as the coat rack. Hoid unfreezes at the end in the second epilogue before he and Design leave the planet.
I went last year for The Lost Metal, and it was great! Already picked up badges for this year, just need to get my hotel booked still.
Overall it was a great time, there was a good mix of smaller panels that were both spoiler and non-spoiler, and big events in the main auditorium.
I wasn’t there for Dragonsteel 2021, but with the bigger size of 2022 there were definitely some small growing pains. I liked the survey they did afterwards though, and as long as they listen to feedback 2023 should be great!
Probably a good time to start a Skyward reread as well now that I think about it.
I saw a recommendation in a thread on /r/books over at reddit actually! I started reading around the time of Words of Radiance, and went through things pretty slowly in a relatively unintuitive order:
- Way of Kings
- Words of Radiance
- The Final Empire
- Warbreaker
- Oathbringer
- The rest of Mistborn Era 1
- Elantris
- Rhythm of War
- Mistborn Era 2 (Up to BoM)
- Arcanum Unbounded
- The Lost Metal (Went to Dragonsteel 2022 for this!)
Since I’ve caught up I’ve gotten probably a half dozen people to start reading, and have been carefully curating their reading order to avoid the nonsense I went through.
