MoD:  I'll look forward to your feedback.

My email access is a bit limited (I can't make Comcast work on my computer out here for some reason--so I have to use my father's.)  However, if you do send me something, I'll respond as soon as I can.

I still owe Tekiel an email.  I'll get to that as soon as I have better email access!

(PS--thanks for your comments so far, Gorgon.)

I see you finished the line edit... I'd like to go over it and give more detailed comments but right now I'm busy working on .hack volume 3 and will be for a couple weeks yet. Maybe before worldcon?
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Brandon, I'd love to be able to read Mistborn (I even snagged it for a few days before I turned it over to Brenna) but I'd like to finally read TWoK part 2 first.
At least I now have a more direct way of pestering you for the copy instead of pestering Brenna to pester you.

EUOL, you should insist on handing it to her in person.

then you can force her to tell you about Ms. Fish

lol.


Ookla, you want a copy of the new version?

(ps--I handed physical copies of it to my agent and editor yesterday.  I'll be doing a Brandonsanderson.com post about the visit shortly, then start up a thread here to talk more.)

I think I'll wait to ask for it until I actually have time to read it. >_>

New Cover Quote:

Quote
   Brandon Sanderson's Elantris is a marvelous, magic monster of a book, packed full of intrigue and daring, based around a killer high concept. When the city of the gods becomes a city of the damned, who and what do you believe in? The story twists and turns, characters bait traps for one another as they vie for secular and religious power, and no-one is necessarily who or what they seem. Royal houses rise and fall, the fate of all Humanity is in the balence, and maybe, just maybe... the gods are coming back. All this and a genuinely touching love story too. Elantris; the book that put epic back into fantasy.

wow, and it's not even close to epic in the scale of some of your other books.

EDIT: Brandon, you might want to fix the spelling of "NINETH" in your blog...

Was that a joke (deliberately misspelling typo)?  :) If not, it's on the Elantris 9.0 page. NINETH should be NINTH.

As long as we're on the topic of spelling errors, 'balence' is incorrect in the last cover quote. I hope that wasn't cut and paste from the quote author.

Well, however that guy spells fantasy sure is weird. Or at least delusional. I sure can't get e-p-i-c out of f-a-n-t-a-s-y.
