traceria she/her Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 This is just a quick question and probably overdue in the coming. I apologize if someone else has already asked it, but I couldn't find an obvious topic that answered it in my search. Real quick: Is the rewritten scene at the end of the book now part of the audiobook version of Words of Radiance? Thanks all!!
Ammanas Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) The audiobook reads as the original hard cover release. The only book by Sanderson book that has been redone (to my knowledge) due to additional content is Elantris. Edited March 29, 2017 by Ammanas 2
traceria she/her Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks, Ammanas! My husband was thinking of doing his reread before Oathbringer by audiobook until I mentioned not knowing if the scene had been rerecorded. May he'll listen up to that point and then pick up our paperback copy.
CaptainRyan he/him Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 He should stick with the original - it was a much better ending. (in my opinion, not that anyone asked for it haha) 2
lordofarda Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 The Graphic Audio version has the altered softcover ending. 1
Ammanas Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 @lordofarda I had completely forgotten about Graphic Audio adaption. Mostly bc I go through audible and, although I can see the appeal of graphic audio its just not my thing. Good catch.
dayman Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Graphic Audio is amazing, everyone should listen to that anyway. 1

There was a 1v1 battle near the very end of the book, and Brandon changed how it ended. WoR Spoilers (on off chance someone hasn't read the book) Spoiler Szeth vs Kaladin. In original, Kaladin killed Szeth via Shardblade. In updated scene, Szeth gives up and lets himself fall in the storm(which kills him anyway) 3
Kered he/him Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Ohh, I never knew about that. Thanks for the info, going to have to look up the scene.
Ammanas Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) @KereDerek The previous poster was completely correct about the WoR alteration, but here is more info if you desire: https://brandonsanderson.com/three-stories-in-new-formats/ Edited April 2, 2017 by Ammanas

Ammanas Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 @CaptainRyan Just as Han shot first Kaladin will always be the one that delivered Szeth's coup de grace. I agree completely. 2
CaptainRyan he/him Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 32 minutes ago, Figberts said: Wait - Szeth is alive, right? Spoiler Yes. He only died. He did not die die. Less sarcastically, Szeth dies at the end of WoR. In the original publication, Kaladin struck Szeth with his shardblade (Syl) and killed Szeth. In the new release of WoR, Brandon changed it so that Kaladin instead cuts Szeth's wrist and forces Szeth to drop the Honorblade; Szeth then plummets to his death. In both cases, Nale, the Herald of Justice and leader of the Skybreakers, revives Szeth with some sort of fabrial.
