Pretty stoked about this! I have my pledge in!

Really wish I could have been there for this one.  I just recently moved from ABQ.

Very cool information!

Good write-up.  That saved me some time and I am surprised you got everything so well off of my recording!

Wow, I expected there to be a ton in NYC!  I know that because of the book (being a YA novel) I did expect to see less at each signing than usual and the fact that we were not necessarily bringing in the Dragonmount-esque peoples.  Should be a bigger turnout when we go to the Words of Radiance Signings.

I think there could have been anywhere from 80-120 people there.  I was up front and it was somewhat difficult to gauge from there as many were out the door waiting in line by the time I saw them and you left out the back door....

Yeah I have been wondering what the prize was as well.  I assume it is some kind of signed piece of paper.  I don't know what else can hide easily in a book...

He did the same reading posted yesterday and gave some additional information.  I will post it in a better format shortly.  Maybe throw it up on Youtube.  Give me a few.

I went to the Rithmatist signing yesterday and was able to record Brandon's opening (in audio format).  I have the introduction and readings below now, and will upload the Q&A shortly. 

 

Lots of good stuff in there. Enjoy!

You might hate to say it, but I'm really disappointed that there's not going to be a midnight release. :/ there's a signing day of, but it's just not the same. I wonder why they've decided to not have one.

I am going to take back my "hate to say it" part.  Glad to say it.  Glad to see the opening release is in a real city.  

Thanks guys. I will pursue it later this month when I am slightly more freed up.  This video game is not going to write itself.

I started working my way through the book this weekend while at the beach.  Very good book so far.  I will add more thoughts later as I finish it this week.

I absolutely love it.  Cannot wait until the prints become available.

I do agree with that.  I feel that drawing on a tablet is much easier than PC.

Not to be that guy, but carbon dating only works once the subject you are dating has died

Wait, wait, wait.....   Hoid is not dead?

I had completely for Cusicesh!  I am still waiting for a visual interpretation of the sky eel!

Excellent!  I can't wait to hear more!

So what are the plans for future Shardcasts?

I too have this same problem.  I want to go back and read it again, but my pile of books is 12 books high and collecting.  

I am going to chime in and say, definitely read the Final Empire first.  I think it gives a lot of insight in to what the Cosmere is in subtle ways and is really expounded upon in other books.  From there, you might as well finish the current books in the Mistborn series (there will be more) and I would agree that WoK will be last.  However, I do recommend getting to WoK as fast as you can so that you can anticipate WoR just as badly as we are.  

 

Welcome!

I have always held the theory that they don't die, simply that they go somewhere else.  

I was shaking in my boots about these.  Glad to hear.

Thanks!  Let me know.  Now I saw that Brando is selling Firstborn at the conventions he is going to this year.  Guess I will have to pick up a copy up at Conneticon as well.

I hate to say it....but.....FINALLY somewhere other than there.

This just wrecked my mind for the day.....
