  1. I dont know if this possibility has been raised but I could not find any so: Could Teft be a herald? He keeps his past under tighter wraps than Kaladin for starters. Has experience as a soldier. knows a lot about the radiance and what their abilities are. He says that it is from legends and stories from his parents but has some bitterness there. Maybe because he was apart of the fall of the radiance. It would also fit with why he always says Kaladin isnt one of the radiance yet. Lastly when asked how he became a bridge man he said it was where he deserved to be. As if he was seeking punishment for something. All in all pure speculation, but I think its possible.
  2. oh bugger.... well i wanted something to read while waiting for more stormlight. guess I got my wish
  3. Basics 2.0 is there any chance of getting this written? I have read every sanderson book and still find myself getting lost in the theory crafting stuff. This article does a good job of introducing the basics, but siting where that information came from would be nice. As well as a basic jump from the basics to the current thinking. For example, I got lost when the shard holders came up. Where did the namee of the planets and shard holders come from?
  4. I have been searching around for the basics to a lot of theories. The Herolds being the main one. People saying that Herolds are in the story as other characters throws me. I accept this as there are Quotes from brandon proving this. However them being people in the series. Are they the Herolds reborn? are they Immortal and just have new names? I have been looking around and would appreciate any info on this. I may add more questions as I explore more and more.
  5. I would not like new novels. I do not think anyone other than Brandon could do them well. I would however, like it if they released notes and snippets on what Robert Jordan had already written so we could see what his ideas were for Randland beyond the last battle. It was in my mind the only flaw of the last book that we did not get to see any of the world beyond the battle with the dark one and the immediate aftermath.
  6. It is the great transition fantasy. between eleves and dwarves from tolkien to modern fantasy. It is what got me into fantasy and into Sanderson (I had never heard of him before he finished the series) If you love in depth worlds, history, amazing characters, great writing, and a master of third person view point, wheel of time will be enjoyable. Honestly Brandon would not be the writer he is without this series (by his own admission)
  7. My guess would be that 10 heartbeats is a solid round number. There needed to be a delay in summoning. Although 10 seems to be the magic number in this series. heartbeats, heralds, essences (30 across 3 types). May have to do more looking into the number 10 across the book. The second book may be needed to make more solid theories.
  8. If it was not for him taking over the wheel of time I would never have been introduced to Sanderson, so I am very glad he did it. on the other hand. just read way of kings last week.... want more! now!
