Brandon Sanderson / Re: WoK: Bridge Crews & Bridges

Or what about the interlude chapter (don't have my book with me... ) dealing with the traders.  There is definitely mention in there about turning wood into metal... and that they wouldn't make a complex structre out of metal, but would carve it out of wood and then soulcast it into metal.

Why not build the wooden bridges, carry them into place, THEN soulcast them into metal?  A metal bridge would be stronger than a stone bridge, heavier than a wooden bridge, able to withstand the elements, and impossible to burn.  Granted, they could possibly still push them off the edge, but depending on how heavy the metal is, that may not be possible either and would require a LARGE group of Parshendi that the scouts would notice in time to prevent.

Best of both worlds?

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Impact of Book Signings?

I can see that it would have a decent impact on sales.  If there were a signing in my area, I certainly would attend and purchase my book at the store.  As is, I picked up the book from my library on release day and read through it.  I'll definitely purchase at some point, but have not done so yet... I should have pre-ordered from Sam Weller's to get a signed copy but I put it off too long and they were sold out.

But... Dalinar despite being honorable did not attract an honorspren, Kaladin did.

It might be that the shards were keeping the honorspren away from Dalinar because Syl has a problem with shardblade. Now that he"s given away the sword and armor he should be able to attract one.

Very good point!  I suspect you may be on to something!

And we know that some of the gaps are that large... there were several descriptions that said the bridge barely reached across the gap, especially once they neared the Plateau.
