Thommy92 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 So I'm just curious, because personally I really like the UK cover a lot better for this book, and i haven't gotten any of the UK versions of any other sanderson books, do they typically read any differently? or are the basically the same as the US versions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 If there are differences they would be small ones to make it more familiar to the region such as "trunk" vs "boot" and chips vs fries; just really small stuff. The odds are though, since almost all of the books take place in a fantasy world, the text remains unchanged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 The first thing I noticed was the description of Brandon was 'Sunday Times Bestselling Author' instead of 'New York Times Bestselling Author'. Since the books are both in English, you shouldn't see much of a difference. If it were translated, you might have seen some changes (names have been known to change in translation, like changing 'Milou' to 'Snowy', but that's not such a big issue in fantasy books since Brandon made up all the names). The UK doesn't engage in much censorship, so that shouldn't be a problem. The biggest change you will notice is the spelling of some words. They'll use the British spelling instead of the American one. Expect to see words like colour, favourite, centre, offence, traveller etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wookiee Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 see I have the easy solution. I buy the Hardcovers with the US covers and paperbacks in the UK covers that way I have a set for collection and a set to read but still have both covers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace21 Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I am from the UK, recently moved to the US. The text is the same, not even the spelling changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 To my knowledge the text is exactly the same in the US and UK versions. Only the covers are different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
