Chaos he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Chaos, give me your book or I will drive down there and take it. *throws virtual bits at you* There, happy? I think Chaos should do a podcast in several parts and read us a bed time story. How well would you sleep after hearing WoR, I wonder. You will get your wish on this. Kind of. I won't be doing it, but... there will be a thing. Also, I'm immensely relieved that I'm not the only one who didn't love Way of Kings initially. I was irrationally worried that I'd be crucified for saying that. I think it was a much better book upon a reread. Thank you all for the very kind words about the review. It made my week that you liked it. Now come back in a week and tell me if I was justified in loving it so much I think I am, at least! 1

I was irrationally worried that I'd be crucified for saying that. I think it was a much better book upon a reread. TWoKs is currently my favorite book of all time, but I'm not surprised that not everyone loves it on the first read through. I recommended it to a Wheel of Time fan who never read anything else by Brandon and, sadly, because of TWoKs he it will be along time before he ever does again. He only made it through one-third of the book, declaring he was making all of Jordan's mistakes and had enough of that in WoT. Now I recommend Brandon's other works before TWoKs. It is bad choice for an introduction to Brandon.
kraefzke Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Storm you all, I should be WORKING, not getting my own hype up ever more by reading how hyped you are! This review and forum really kill any semblance to productivity! 1
Asperity he/him Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I don't want spoilers, obviously, but in the review, you mentioned that there are tons of reveals. From that, I figure that they're Cosmere-related but are they more Stormlight-specific or overall Cosmere? And if they're overall, are they BIG MAJOR things (which I doubt but I want to ask anyway)?
Argent he/him Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Careful. I personally wouldn't care, but others might, so reply in PMs only.

lookingglass she/her Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 OMG I WANT THIS BOOK! It won't be released till the 6th in the UK though. I feel like crying
Asperity he/him Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Tee hee, obviously you will need to RAFO Bad news: We're over. Good news: I'll consider retracting my words if you and your crack team of cryptoanalysts pump out a huge list of "Cosmere references/reveals in WoR" sometime during March for dumbs like me.
