The Way of Kings Typos list:

This isn't a typo, but multiple times in TWoK, Lopen uses the term "moolie" to describe Dabbid, saying that it means "mute". 

In real life, however, it's a racial slur coined by Italian-americans to be used in a derogatory way towards black people. 

I know it's not intentional, but it's still there.

The four volumes were thick. The five Vorin kingdoms? She’d thought there were four. Jah Keved, Alethkar, Kharbranth, and Natanatan. United by religion, they had been strong allies during the years following the Recreance. What was the fifth kingdom?

Not sure if this is an error or not, but both Thaylenah and Herdaz are later described as Vorin and both have Vorin leaders. Might just be that one of these doesn't get counted for some reason, but wanted to flag as it currently appears there are six Vorin kingdoms in total.

There seems to be some inconsistency on capitalization of "Vorin church". Oathbringer comes down very clearly on lowercase "c". I made a thread about this in the WoR typo thread as things go back and forth in that book. In TWoK there are no instances of "Vorin church" (capital c or not), BUT there are three instances of "Church" which refer to the Vorin church. Just wondering if these should be lowercase "church". (or if these are right and the fault is with lowercase c's in WoR/OB)

The Veden Church is by far the most traditional. I have visited your lovely country on two occasions

Chapter 18

the priests controlled the doctrine, and few members of the Church were allowed to know theology.

Chapter 60

Quote

Many famous people in history had been given holy names by the Church, before it was disbanded.

Here's the list I posted to TWG. Or rather, these are my raw notes that I jotted into my phone as I read. When I posted on TWG I added formatting and comments; sorry for not having time to do it again here.

33 standing...got to his feet.

55 sat down to floor

150 nearly enough stop them

170 you asked right questions?

193 when dalinar and the king rode up, and adolin spoke quickly before Sadeas could speak. (Not sure what I was thinking here. It may be I didn't like one of the ands in the sentence.)

251.3 "Oddly, he noticed a group older boys gathering..."

260.5 "I saw some of reeds of it growing..."

281.6 He'd given both to Elhokar to award to a warrior...

334.7 'Highprinces and lighteyes,' Elhokar's suddenly proclaimed.

390 Kaladin lights his torch twice on this page: once immediately after touching down, and again after Rock and Teft arrive.

416.14 "The longer her worked, the more people gathered..."

421.2 "Well, I do have reputation to maintain."

432.4 "It had been five months since Vstim become her babsk..."

469.15 "A true scholar must not close her mind close on any topic."

584.11 "Was it angry at being forced belong the horizon?"

593.5 "That wasn't what decided it for her, however, The truth was..."

604.8 "Kaladin knew what happening to him."

609.2 "...what was hope it except another opportunity..."

691.10 "It will take time, but promise you if we staet here..."

694.11 "Maybe you'll you happen upon..."

695.4 "...capable in stances they had only been just been taught...

698.15 "Jasna's quieter, move justified anger was no less daunting."

703.8 "Coreb's fell to his knees and began to beg."

730.10 "They ran shoulder to shoulder, not a single one of place."

731.1 "That meant so far as he knew, there were less than hundred Blades..."

732.8 "Dalinar He caught up to the..."

733.8 "I have said I that cannot be of much help to you."

735.13 "That was very same reason they didn't let..."

745.4 "He looked up with as Kaladin and the members of..."

760.9 "I haven't give up on you yet, Dalinar."

770.7 "You're not going be like Rock..."

773.8 "...and a group of many-legged cremlings scuttling along along the wall and slipped into a fissure."

779.6 "So if Sadeas could arrive first, then hold out long enough for Dalinar get his men across..."

793.14 "He could the use extra men..."

924.1 "'He wanted them to bunch up against us,' one the spearmen said."

935.1 "Ahead, he could make out a figure in scratched blue Shardplate, fighting at the front of group."

936.10 "Adolin cut down through multiple men at once..."

940.12 "Adolin and last of his troops filed along behind him."

On 193, he should have done either "When", or the second "and". It just doesn't make sense with both.

Hello everyone!

On page 110 of the paperback, it says “He’d probably never find out—depending on what these bridgemen earned.” Kaladin is not yet assigned to be a bridgeman until the next paragraph.

PS: I know there’s a ton of interest in being a beta reader, but I’d really love to be one!
