Garnets come in a variety of colors see here for a few examples. Blue garnets are very rare in our world.

Welcome!

No thanks, we'll pass on that.

I'm actually a bit curious about the names of each "Parts" in the book they make a direct reference to the Ketek: “Above silence, the illuminating storms—dying storms— illuminate the silence above." I wonder if Words of Radiance will continue this as well.

I think it'll be interesting if something happens to Szeth in Book 2 and then follow it up with his backstory in Book 3 (which I think is going to be his book).

Kaladin having fun with Jasnah, Shallan and Eshonai!!!

If I’m not mistaken, there is a difference between “Character voice” and “Accent”. Voice describes a person’ way of talking so that you’ll know which character is speaking. I think it could be considered something like how a person sound like in real life. Accent, could also help in recognizing a character, but if there are more than one characters speaking in the same accent then it won’t be as easy. When writing a character, I tend to keep an actor in my mind, or a specific role of theirs, which makes things a little bit easier.

That's very helpful. Thanks.

I’ve definitely learned a lot so it’s difficult to pinpoint something specific. Still, if I have to think about a few important lessons that will be: Revisions and the importance of criticism, not to mention moving beyond Chapter 1.

If I have to guess which one of Dalinar's sons will get killed, a good strong bet would be Adolin. Of course, this could be totally wrong and senseless, but I'm guessing this because of his origins as a foil character, I seem to recall Brandon mentioning that in an episode of WX.

That "four whom we watch" I'm just making a wild guess that a lot of people would've already made. I think that at some point the four of them will work together, since Dalinar can see the past I think he would help Shallan, Navani and Jasnah in their research and help them discover the ancient magics and the secrets of Shardwielding. Something bad will get released by one of them ("One of them will destroy us") and the other will probably make some sacrifice ("One of them may redeem us"). I think that bad part is most likely going to happen in Book 5. Okay bash away.

Mine is Latin, about 5-6 years back I just searched a translation of "Echo" in Latin and it gave me "Refero" I really liked the sound to it.

Sometimes if a song a is stuck in my head I try and see if I can use some of its lyrics as a title. I remember listening to "The Memory Remains" so I adopted that into the story. I also keep things running in my head and if something clicks with me I use that as well.

I'm guessing that Kal will probably get his hand on something like a Half-shard spear.

I keep on thinking that Sean Bean should play Marsh. Now I know that I'm suggesting actors who are too old to potray these characters, but after seeing the Hobbit, I would very much like to see Martin Freeman play Elend.

Well I heard that Obsidian Entertainment was making a Wheel of Time game, I had never read the series, but had heard about it. I went over to the series page at Wikipedia and learned that RJ had passed away and that Brandon was chosen to finish the series. I went to Brandon' page and there saw his books and I thought about giving him a try, so I started out with The Way of Kings.

I would probably go with Vin, could relate a little with her.

Words of Radiance Release Date Moved A bit dissapointing, but if the book is better because of that I don't mind waiting a bit longer.

I was doing some search on Obsidian Entertainment and there I learned that they were planning on making a WoT game, I searched that and came to know that it was Jordan's work and Brandon was finishing the series. I opened Branson's wiki entry and saw the books that he wrote, I was thinking about where to start so I started with The Way of Kings and I became his fan after that and with the exception of the Alcatraz and Infinity Blade I read all of his works. Right now I'm busy reading WoT series in the middle of the second book right now, I really want to finish the remaining books before AMoL.
