Bloodfalcon Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 @Ephemera was my inspiration. That massive hunk of book was my muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHoliday Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 if we can find out where WoR is being pressed or if we can intercept the shipments, then we could get our hands on an early copy. Challenge accepted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masaru Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Brandon posted some photos on Facebook. - Shallan's end pages are in front (double page) - A (new/different/updated) modern era Roshar map is the back (double page) endpaper. So THAT's cool. Edited February 5, 2014 by masaru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rooster Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Brandon posted pics on his facbook page and it looks like the map on the back endpaper is a modern mp of roshar with different artwork around it. edit: way ninja'd at least here the pic!

Cad Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Makes me wish I was still in college. Worked at a Borders and while we weren't allowed to buy books before they were released, we could borrow them. Finished Winter's Heart from WOT before the book was released. Really wish I could do that again...in a few weeks to be exact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurkistan Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Can anone tell what that glyph is on the front? It looks like a stylized Shash to me, the one that corresponds to garnet/the Lightweavers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogle Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 It looks like a stylized Shash to me, the one that corresponds to garnet/the Lightweavers. It's likely an artistic version of Shallash's Honorblade's hilt. That's what they did for TWoK, but with Jezrien's Blade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardlet Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Well this is Shallan's flashback book, so it's probably going to have Shash on it, to align with her Order. Thus the red color for garnet as well. Not sure that the KR symbol for the Lightweavers corresponds to the Shash glyph (meaning the one branded on Kaladin's forehead) in spite of connection between Shash and Shalash and Shalash and the Lightweavers.

ShadowsFell Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Sorry, I must be blind ... where exactly in the image is the glyph everyone is referring to? I'm stoked for the book though, can't get enough of Roshar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrono Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 It's on the cover of the book. If you check Brandon's Facebook page, he shows several more pictures of the book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADIMORTIS Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) This is the image where the glyph is visible somewhat. It's on the right side Edited February 6, 2014 by ADIMORTIS 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowsFell Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Thats cool, thanks for clarifying! I really need to get me a hard copy of WoK to go with my eBook ... I find myself missing those little nuances of the hard covers more and more.... Edited February 6, 2014 by ShadowsFell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havon Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) I'm deciding on whether or not to break into the Tor hq, leave a $20 and a form of non-disclosure, and slip giddily into the night. I'd get to read it, get arrested and imprisoned, and by the time I got out of jail the 3rd book should be coming out. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Haelbarde Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) He should have stuck with calling it the 'Book of Endless Pages'. A much more appropriate name. Edited February 6, 2014 by Haelbarde 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldain Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 God that book is an amazing sight to behold. And I know its been talked about in previous threads but damnation Michael Whelan's art (particularly Shallan) is just superb. I don't know how long it'll take Brandon to write the Stormlight Archive but I hope Whelan can do the cover art for every book. Just so well done. /gollum voice on I must have it, precious! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
