WoT may be hard to get into but if you have the time to read it it's worth reading.
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.

Could you give us a suggestion of how many pictures you did for it, in the order of 5, or 10 or 50 or 100? I just want a vague idea of how much of your lovely artwork to look forward to.

Inkthinker, could you tell us how much of the art in Way of Kings is yours?
(I think I read somewhere that you did some of it anyway)

Site I've preordered from have now dropped the price by almost £5, but they won't give me a partial refund unless I cancel the order completely and order it over again, which from the look of it may take more hassle than £5 is worth.

The topic of damaged shardplate is discussed in the book.

But Kaladin is the true bearded one.... :p (props to anyone who gets the reference)
The fight scene was done very well, also nice to gain some insight into the big picture.

Begining of 13 was awesome.
I was initially dissapointed to not be reading more of Kaladin, but the dissapointment soon wore off.

Fine, forget speculation, lets just talk about having ordered it or where we're going to buy it in this thread until it comes out...
No longer as interesting a topic...

Pre-ordered today via the book depository, how about everyone posts on here once they've ordered it, and we can speculate a bit about what's going to happen (no spoilers from outside of the sample chapters plz).
edit: As the book is now out, feel free to discuss it in this topic if you have it, tag specific spoilers though as the topic doesn't say "spoilers" in the title.

Having all these different Larasium alloys adds loads to the table of allomantic metals, who's to say they would do anything? GIving somebody the ability to burn copped by giving them something made of two components one of which would give the ability to burn all metals doesn't really make much sense....

Since the end of HoA, with Ruin and Preservation now being the twin powers of one person, there is nothign opposing him from talking to anyone very very clearly, e.g. dropping a note in front of them or listening to anything they say, I guess the issue is getting his attention as he could be looking in the wrong way at the time. So a metal that gets his attentions perhaps... Hmm...

Well, there's still a link to the pdf on Brandons website, you can't possibly be doing anything illegal by linking to that.
