Dang! That would really have been something...

Um, what? Do you have the WoB handy? All I can find on the topic are RAFOs, and I'd love to read a WoB where he answers this.

Congrats, Radiant!

Well, I can say first hand that at least one sale went through their POS at 12:01 this morning...

Hey folks, If this is the wrong place to post (or if it shouldn't be posted at all) please let me know. But, for what it's worth, Target was given a street date of Dec 5 and WaT is now on shelves nationwide in the US...

I'd refer you to this WOB

This is another thing that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but is a bit of a different topic. Have you read the preview chapters?

@alder24 - I read @Moiraine's post as less about Design and more about

It's also important to remember that SA is a work 'translated' from the original Alethi into our language here on another planet. She may well have said something along the lines of "the wider expanse of any known or unknown existence throughout time and space ad eternum" and the in-world translator simply used "Cosmere" as shorthand that those on Silverlight and here on Earth (in another universe altogether) would understand.

Consider everything we now know Ialai knew about the wider cosmere, the efforts that Amaram was involved in, and the powers that Gavilar was meddling with... as the three people perhaps closest to Sadeas before he (or they) died, it seems reasonable to me that some of the implications yet-to-pass may be less about Adolin's role in Sadea's death, and more about the death itself and the knowledge (or access) lost with it. As I'm rereading SA in preparation for WaT, so many of his machinations come into a new light when viewed through this lens.

A pile of poopspren?

While it's a super interesting theory, I don't see it lasting long if it is the case... the whole sanctity of '16' within the Cosmere business. If that were to shift, fundamentally alter the world in a fundamental forces-altering event akin to the catacendre at Cosmere scale, I believe more set up would be needed first.

I love this theory so much right now. We know to ALWAYS expect the redirect, another secret from BS... but this would be yet another massive misdirection that none of us saw coming in the best way.

Do I remember correctly that there's a WOB (couldn't find it just now, though) that SA is essentially Dalinar's story? How might that shift our understanding and predicting?

Storming fabulous!
