Who Sharded? Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I remember several ARC's for TWoK coming out many months before release (I even managed to snag one) though I understand why they wouldn't do that for TWoR. Still, I want to know when we can start expecting to see reviews pop up. Anyone know?
Kurkistan he/him Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 No ARCs for this book, sadly. The printing process is down to the wire, so even reviewers are getting eBooks/PDFs.

Kurkistan he/him Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) None legally before the official release date, I don't think. Professional reviewers are not in the habit of releasing their copies to be pirated. EDIT: Oops, misread your post. See Shardlet down below. Edited January 27, 2014 by Kurkistan
Shardlet he/him Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Go to this thread to read a mini review from Wetlandernw who was a beta reader for WoR. 2
PeterAhlstrom he/him Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I don't know for sure, but I think that reviews will be embargoed until the release date, with a couple of specific spoiler-free exceptions. 9
Robot Aztec Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 a review with no spoilres i can write one? words of radiance has a lot of words and they are very good words and it has a lot of radiants too but i am not telling you how good they are 3
Kaladin Kal he/him Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Now I have read that review I can't wait anymire . I know its around 40+ days but seems like an eternity. Any idea what might have caused this reaction "I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS....!!!!!"
Moogle Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Now I have read that review I can't wait anymire . I know its around 40+ days but seems like an eternity. Any idea what might have caused this reaction "I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS....!!!!!" Hopefully Dalinar kicking the bucket. Could also be Jasnah dying but I refuse to accept that. (Hence the I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS.)
Who Sharded? Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Usually when I'm looking forward to a book as much as this one, I start searching for reviews about a month before release. It seems some reviewers are getting ARC's or digital copies of this book, though they're not saying much until release. They do seem to like it, however. http://kurtsperspective.blogspot.com/2014/01/finished-reading-words-of-radiance-book.html https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/838183520?book_show_action=true&page=1 3
don_karma_II he/him Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 The review from Goodreads says its exciting and heartbreaking. Heartbreaking? NOOOO.... 1
kobain Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 The review from Goodreads says its exciting and heartbreaking. Heartbreaking? NOOOO.... Yes, i saw that. Hopefully it's just regarding Shallan's flashbacks.
Who Sharded? Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 Found another Goodreads review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/469759403?book_show_action=true&page=1 hype 1
Who Sharded? Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 And here's a non-review by a frail reader that seems negative at first, but really isn't http://yetistomper.blogspot.com/2014/02/words-of-radiance-is-unreadable.html

Who Sharded? Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Whoa, here's a person who is currently reading it that I overlooked on Goodreads at first. They provide a list of the ten Surges https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/808508133?book_show_action=true&page=1 Has Pressure been changed to Adhesion? Whaaat?

They provide a list of the ten Surges https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/808508133?book_show_action=true&page=1 Has Pressure been changed to Adhesion? Whaaat? Fascinating. Pressure is Adhesion, Progression is Growth (Progression really is a better name), and our unknown Surge is Cohesion! Probably, anyways. I am so so excited. I really want to get a good look at Cohesion. I am guessing it makes force fields out of air (keeping the air 'cohered'), as well as other fun things. Stonewards makes a lot more sense. I think I will keep this avatar, because transportation + cohesion sounds lovely. Edited February 27, 2014 by Moogle
Cromptj he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 That sounds so much better than stickability.
PeterAhlstrom he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 The first book's Ars Arcanum already said Adhesion. 4
