    Crem is possibly the body of Cultivation.

    I'm pretty sure Utah is a prime skiing/snowboarding location with all that powdery snow.

    My Google-fu is strong but I can't find that same quote about the chasmfiends that everyone is talking about.

    I don't think Paolini was lucky. If I remember correctly he and his family put a lot of effort into self publishing and promoting the first book before self publishing was cool or easy. He went to a bunch of schools and libraries to promote it. I guess there was some luck since according to Wikipedia the stepson of an author found it and liked it, and his dad ended up pitching it to his publisher, who picked up the series. But it looks like it took a lot of work to make the luck happen.

    That timer would be even more tortuous! Like watching a pot boil for 3 months.

    I don't know if you are allowed to post reviews or whatever. I think what she (wetlander) posted is more of her reaction rather than a "review".

    ... when you start worrying about the Realmatic implications of your beliefs.
  8. Shardbearer
    Yeah, but can you imagine a universe with a man called endowment?

    You know you're a Sanderfan when you start to wonder who around you might be a worldhopper in hiding.

    I thought it might be something like that. As for how to fix things, it's kind of hard to say. I didn't really get drawn in until the third post, which is why I didn't post something sooner. So you probably want to set the hook a little sooner and find a way to introduce Myria right away with some hint of conflict.

    Oh that Endowment. She sure has nice...eyes.

    I'd love to ask this question: Can I be a beta reader?

    These are pretty good. There is definitely potential here. I like to say that the beginning could be tightened up a bit. You spent most of the first two posts with description or in talking about what would happen rather than what was happening. And you didn't introduce the MC until the fith paragraph. I'd like to know who I'm dealing with and why I should care about her story right from the first line. Other than that, I'd say it looks promising. Edit: I'd also like to know why you chose the word "enrapture" as the name for your hell. Enrapture means to "give intense pleasure or joy to", which doesn't sound very hellish.

    The ghostbloods are a secret organization with unknown motives. They're the people Shallan's dad was working with. The creatures Shallan sees are spren, and are calle Cryptics.

    No, my elegant command makes it a homing dodgeball.

    Heh. I'm jealous of that beta reader.

    I just found this "review" of WoR on Tor.com left in the comments of the WoK reread by a beta reader: Source: http://www.tor.com/blogs/2013/12/the-way-of-kings-reread-chapter-48#comments (scroll down to comment 19.

    Dalinar?
  20. Shardbearer
    Yes.
  21. Shardbearer
    On the right track. This is not a person.
  22. Shardbearer
    Not quite what I was thinking.
  23. Shardbearer
    I give life to the lifeless.

    If you come up with new questions, put them in a new post on this thread. People clicking the button to go to the first new post won't see your edits unless they go back to the beginning.

    Taln or Talenel or whatever you call him.
