Now welcome to the long wait...
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: 17th Shard Interview Transcript ***Warning: Spoilers for ALL Cosmere Books***
« on: October 14, 2010, 07:23:12 AM »
Awesome pics Inkthinker!
I don't think so. We actually get Kalad's PoV, and he makes no mention of another planet, let alone being a herald, and that is pretty important. The fact that he is an important character in Warbreaker, would imply that he is not going to be an important character in a completely separate series.
You know what I'd like to know? I wonder if there's any correlation between Kalad in Warbreaker and Kaladin in The Way of Kings. There's only a two letter difference...

The problem with honour is that it honour, as we are dealing with it here, is up to philosophical debate. Just because you kill some people, does that make you honourable. Some cultures would believe so, others would not.

« on: October 14, 2010, 01:15:18 AM »fueled is the American spelling, fuelled the UK spelling. Are you in the UK? I haven't checked the UK editions for spelling errors at all.
Australia, but I bought US version. I actually didn't know that. You do learn something new everyday.

« on: October 14, 2010, 01:13:21 AM »Eh, I liked it. If only because Tywin was a horrible man who needed what happened to him after that. And I look forward to seeing what Tyrion does now.
Yes, Tyrion is quite the devil, which makes him so enjoyable.
If anyone can come back from this low, it will be Tywin.In other news, I just think that Peter Dinkle will play an awesome Tywin. Can't wait until GoT comes out next year! Yay!

« on: October 14, 2010, 01:06:20 AM »And to add to Kykeon, she may be suffering from Allomancy withdrawals. I'm sure you would get them. Something you have been using your whole is suddenly gone, wouldn't you undergo withdrawals. She would probably do just about anything to burn some tin.
I could see allomancy withdrawals in tineyes or pewterarms. But not in most Mistings. A coinshot might be constantly thinking "Man, if only...", or try to burn steel to search for metals simply out of reflex, but I don't think they'd get the shakes or irresistible cravings.
But yeah, Mare could have been jonesing for some tin.
Yeah, I agree. We don't get it with Atium - Zare specifically says in WoA that its not a drug. But stuff like tin and pewter which you are constantly burning to some degree, I could definitely see it happening.

The theories are out there, based on the fact that we never see Szeth's spren. When I mention fabrial, I probably don't mean fabrial like we see in the eastern countries (i.e. Navani's notebook), but a different version possibly created by the stone shamans, and linked to stone rather than a gem. Strictly speaking its not really a fabrial, but I know of no better word.
Unfortunately, we have no real evidence, just wild speculation. I just thought I'd throw it in there to make you aware, and just for a bit of discussion.

Brandon Sanderson / Mist Spirit *Mistborn Spoilers*
« on: October 13, 2010, 11:31:53 AM »
In one of the epigraphs from Mistborn: Final Empire there is the quote:
I'm sort of confused.
I thought Preservations mists were white, and that this mist spirit that Alendi sees is a shadow of Preservation. But if the mist was black, then that would make the mist spirit Ruin. Any ideas?

Like it's [the mist spirit] made out of black fog. Or mist, perhaps

Unless Szeth is using a fabrial.

Don't know if this was picked up, but in the paperback edition of Mistborn: WoA, the first line of the epigraph of chapter 16 has the word fuelled spelt 'fueled'.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Shattered Plain War Questions (Possible Spoilers)
« on: October 13, 2010, 09:53:28 AM »It's probably because the more he says "the void", my brain transliterates "the Vord". Not to mention the whole issue of migration that plays a part in pushing the Alerans against the Canim.
And the Vord had always followed the Marat when they migrated.

I just love allomancy. I could just imagine using allomancy in todays society, with metal being just about everywhere.

Of what we know of the events on Sel, the Reod is the most likely, followed closely by creating Dahkor magic.

By the way, I am still alive. Forgive me--higher mathematics takes a lot of effort.
Name's Dean, not Steve.
Btw, I did junior maths at university and that was a lot of work (though it was admittedly the advanced stream). I can only imagine how much effort higher mathematics would take!!
