ThePrinceofMagnets Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 The epigraph for chapter Nine of The Way of Kings is: "Ten people, with Shardblades alight, standing before a wall of black and white and red" I wish that Sanderson had written "...standing before a wall of black and red and white" The rhyme is subtle, but delicious 3

junior Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 He used the traditional phrasing! I can see the look on your face, and I know you're wondering why I said what I did...? I guess I need to provide an example... "What's black and white and red all over?" 1
ThePrinceofMagnets Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 />I don't think your suggestion rhymes well, to big differences in syllables and the 2 "and"s disrupt the flow further. Light and white rhyme just fine methinks, whether of not the whole thing flows well is something else entirely
