Brandon Sanderson / Re: Official Typos Thread -- All of Brandon's books

The errors can be different. It depends on what process was used to make the ebooks. Mistborn UK ebooks had a ton of OCR errors. US ebooks used a different process and didn't have the errors.

Amazon doesn't make the ebook errors. It's the publishers.

http://typoze.com — there is one person who has posted Sanderson typos there. The system looks pretty good—you can post your own opinions on other people's typos if you agree or disagree. I haven't totally examined its usability though.

It's not fixed in the PDF, just in the paperback.

Tor.com made an Annotated Warbreaker ebook over a year ago but hasn't released it yet.

Brandon said chapter 3 wasn't ready for viewing. It's from a different POV. My guess is the sorceress.

It was very conciliatory and completely fair. Pretty much the only other thing I would have done is use "I" instead of "we." Using "we" distances yourself from your own words, which in this particular review you may not want to do.

Steve, very different review from your usual. Interesting.

There are a couple typos. One time "his" should be "this" and another time you use the word "composite" when "counterpart" may be a better choice.

I've never heard anything like that. I suppose it's possible but it seems unlikely, since I know which stories Brandon is interested in pitching to Hollywood and none of them fit that title.

Brandon still has background information documents that he hasn't given me. I keep reminding him.

It was raining is still active. It's past progressive.

But "the rain fell" might be better to use depending on what mood you want in a particular scene. Except it's boring. If you want descriptive writing you'd use a different verb. If you just want something transparent, "it was raining" would generally work fine.

Ha ha ha ha, that is pretty awesome. It's not a ketek, but it's a chiasmus.
