alexriceboyy he/him Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Hello, I have the mmpb edition of The Way of Kings and I recently bought the Trade Paperback Edition. I was wondering is there a difference in the writing? (stupid question) but the summary on the back of the book changed between the 2 prints and I'm wondering what else changed... Thank you
Pagerunner he/him Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Huh. I'm not aware of any major changes; just correcting typos and the like. Maybe the publisher wasn't aware this is an actual in-universe text, a kind of sneaky extra Interlude on the back of the book. So they edited it down to fit in a smaller book size, not realizing they were basically changing the lines of the book itself.

He always releases MMPB's before his full size Paperbacks so I'm wondering why they dumbed down the summary, I doubt they changed anything in the book but at this point I don't know. I appreciate the response
Tesh Any pronouns Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 I think they just changed the summary so it would fit well and not have tiny text.

Words of Radiance has the major difference in the end though where a certain character was originally struck by a shard blade but in the following versions just falls to his supposed death
