Glad there’s a release date for the omnibus version but must admit I’m disappointed it’s not coming sooner so that I could buy this before reading Evershore so I don’t have to drop the extra $5. Guess I could just wait but  the hype from having read Cytonic and the other novellas will likely have dropped by April. Wish they could have done a lower price voucher or something for people who already bought the ebooks.

Ugh, not a fan of this title - I have a hard time imagining how this would be the best unique title for this book as opposed to any other book in the series. While I understand the publisher’s issues with the Nowhere title, it’s too bad Brandon and co. couldn’t come up with anything better. (Though FWIW I didn’t totally love Nowhere as a title either.)

The US cover art is nice, better than the awful Skyward art and maybe a little worse than the Starsight one, but the UK cover is once again far, far superior. 

This is incredible. I am in awe.

Wait, what's this about Apocalypse Guard being cancelled? I sadly don't follow Brandon as closely as I used to but last I heard the first book of that is coming out next year? When/how/why did that change?

Glad I can finally read this without buying into Dangerous Women. It seems like there is now a precedent that all cosmere works will eventually be individually available no matter where it is initially released.

Love the painting and the cover, except for the fact that Wax's head obscures part of the title. It could easily have been scaled so that wasn't a problem, and I am not a fan of that style.

I'm reasonably confident that "Perpendicularities" are Shardpools (or at least the Cognitive Realm analogue of Physical Realm Shardpools).  I really want someone to ask whether the Well is Preservation's Perpendicularity...

 

I'm also really not a fan of the name "harmonium"... At all... Like really not a fan.  It breaks the lerasium/atium naming convention and it's a musical instrument.  It should be sazedium.

I've always assumed that the Perpendicularities were points of intersection between the Cognitive and Physical Realms, or points where the connection between the two is greatest. I see how they could be like Shardpools, although I've always associated Shardpools more with the Spiritual Realm. But then again it would make sense there would be a sort of manifestation of Shardpools in each realm.

And yeah, I really hope he changes harmonium. But interesting to get a direct reference to it. I've always sort of thought of it as an alloy of lerasium and atium, but now I wonder if Preservation and Ruin have grown so connected within Harmony that harmonium has started to form on it's own à la atium. Back to the endless speculation on what harmonium will do.

Awesome! Favorite part is probably "shows secret canon drawing".

Since no one has commented on this, let it be known that I intend to watch to watch the cast whensoever it is that I find the time to do so. Probably way too late at night!

Ditto on the congratulations to Moogle!

Very interested about the map. So I guess Nazh went to Luthadel, made a map, brought it to the Ars Arcanum author, and was sent right back.

What's especially funny is that, because he did the Elendel maps too, he did come back a third time.

And if he does the maps for the later trilogies... Nazh is going to have a lot of fun on Scadrial.

So is it still a regular Tor Book, or is it being published under Tor Teen like The Rithmatist?

I like the cover art, although I'm not terribly fond of the "Can an evil that has ruled for one thousand years be defeated?"

On another note, if it gets enough nee readers in the teen audience, it may help the movie get off the ground! No complaints there.
