I'd very much like this, yes!

This is wonderful! Thank y'all for this!

Also, that logo is sweet. 

Excellent review, man. I'm so unbelievably excited for this book.

So FUNNY STORY. The very first Era 2 engraving got destroyed pretty early in the run. We used this as an opportunity to correct some lines on the engraving of the bank. The pillars are the same but the steps are different. We've got these first ones quarantined and will probably offer them in some way to backers during or after the campaign. I'm trying to figure out how I can fairly release them without asking backers to switch levels since it's a limited edition. Maybe first come first serve on Backerkit?

 The funniest part about the coin is that the error/change happened organically before Woody had heard the passage about the pillars. Life imitating art imitating life.

You could always list it as Edwarn's Boxing and put it in a set with a flattened and bent Era 1 Clip (like the one from Kell and Vin's spar in TFE).

Has anyone checked the spacing of the pillars on the bank?

Are...are those spears the same ones from the Kaladin chapter icons?

I thought they were Listeners. They may be Kal's crew, though. Interesting.

Well... that Thunderclast is HUGE. I mean... In the books Dalinar tells that the Thunderclast is "5-6 times the size of a man". That thing on the cover... It's "Shadow of the Colosus" huge. 
They'll need a Dustbringer to kill that monster. I can't see how some (2-3) Shardblades could do it. 

(I'm guessing Soulcasting won't work on them as they are creatures invested with a spren/investiture. Am I right?)

I would say so. Well done, my observant friend!

I think that's the thunderclast's steps shaking the earth and knocking some dust free.

A lot of dust.

Dustbringers, to my knowledge, couldn't actually shape dust to their will.

They just destroyed stuff. A lot of stuff. Which is badchull

Nah. Dalinar was on the cover of Kaladin's book, and Kaladin was on the cover of Shallan's book. I'd say it makes plenty of sense.

Implying that the next book will be Jasnah's?

Also, I think it was Eshonai on the WoK cover. Could be wrong though.

Probably one of my favorite covers from Whelan. I really really love his portrayal of Jasnah here! Honestly my only quibbles are that his first black and white draft in this pose had lighting that made the brass look more metalic than it does in the final, and the thunderclast seems a bit wonky, but other than that? Spot on. Jasnah in particular looks amazing.

Yeah, I thought the metal was sand at first. Then I saw it was metal. 

The cover is still... whew. 

I literally teared up at this.

Someone send tissues.

Hell yeah, dude!

]Any other author i'd say that must be a mistake but with Sanderson... he could very well have gone through the second draft in a few days.

He did.

Man, half a year of basically no progress ( on Oathbringer) and then BAM, hes done. Seems like yesterday - and at the same time it feels like an eternity.

'm just glad he got it done! 

All aboard the hype train! 

*train noise* *train noise*

Woo! Enthusiasm!

I hope Mistborn gets the movie treatment first. It makes a good introduction, and is very accessible. (Also, it just so happens to be my favorite.)
