Brandon Sanderson / Re: Sam Weller's Warbreaker copies

Portland, OR Still haven't seen mine either 
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

« on: June 08, 2009, 05:35:26 PM »The main thing I remember from CoT is that it seemed like half the book was just various groups of channelers staring off into the distance with dropped jaws and saying something to the effect of "Holy **** that's a lot of power!"
And that will probably be the whole of Joe C's recap :-)

LOL Nope! Almost though! This book was very slow and frustrating to read. I'm almost done though and I should have an update on Monday or Tuesday. Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been very busy.
Hang in there Joe, almost a big payoff coming. I always felt like 10 was really 9.5 :-)

I've only read it about 8 times, but I've never really felt like he was raped. More like his biggest complaint was the following
She's a Noble
She's chasing him not the other way around
She sort of takes on an "own him" approach. Once he is with her, none of the serving girls in taverns will have anything to do with him.
It' comes down to Mat loves to complain and he likes his roles to be standard every time.

From what I've heard there are some minor changes/additional scenes in the Hardcover release, but these will be inlcuded in another e-book release as well.
Yes the ending was in the original and you can order it today through many different sources :-) Comes out next Tuesday!!!

So it says spoilers so you know I skipped to the very end just to say that I just got it from ILL and my wife has already staked claim to it. *sigh* at least she reads fast and I'm about to have a break in classes to catch up :-)

Ah I understand, I just so seldom buy a new book when it comes out and then its usually only hardcover that I don't really pay too much attention to the pricing schemes they use ;-)

Ehran,
Is there a price difference? It looked to me like Sam Weller is discounting it enough that it pays for the shipping, so you basically just pay retail. I'm ok with that personally, and I'm horribly busy so won't make it to a book store for at least a month

Elayne, Min, and Aviendha all bonded with Rand. I'm surprised he actually let them do this, seeing as he is destined to die and anyone who has somebody bonded to them and they die, that person dies soon afterwards
Minor correction here. That only happens to the "Warder" in the bond. The "Aes Sedai" of the bond just feels an overwhelming sense of grief, but doesn't go bezerker crazy and die trying to avenge anyone. Essentially he just agrees to allow them to enhance their grief when he dies.
