Oh that's a good idea. I will definately start taking notes when I get my hands on WoK. Time to get a new composition notebook! :geek mode:
I'm extremely busy on the galleys and probably won't update the blog until they're done. I'm thinking...Tuesday?
Oh fine. I will wait until Tuesday.

I didn't know Brandon was writing encyclopedias now. LOL Well the larger it is the better (that's what she said), that way I don't have to finish it in one day. Thanks for the info Peter, now give us a new blog update! lol. I'm drowning in lack o info at the moment.

« on: April 21, 2010, 05:43:24 PM »Hey, I just reread the prologue, and I noticed flame(fire?)spren. Looks like emotions aren't the only things that attract these guys. Hmm... They seem to be everywhere. I am now going to attach great significance to these little guys in my mind, and keep it there until the book tells me otherwise, and maybe even if it does tell me otherwise. What are these things?
Spren?
Awe, don't worry about them.
That's what Brandon WANTS you to think.
So now Brandon is controlling my mind?! AHHH!

Brandon Sanderson / Warbreaker Audiobook
« on: April 14, 2010, 05:42:41 PM »
I decided to re-read Warbreaker because it's awesome like that. I grabbed the GraphicAudio book. This thing is the most amazing audiobook I've ever heard. It's also my first GraphicAudio book so maybe they are all this in depth with multiple actors and sound effects out the arse. It blew me away.
Anybody else listen to this bugger?

It's what we do.

I do school online, so I do a lot of that work at home or at night. I usually get one or two 18 hour shifts in a week then the rest are a bit shorter and I usually take one day off during the week.
I'm convinced you are trying to work yourself to death. You are both slave and slave driver. Scary.

« on: April 13, 2010, 09:19:14 PM »The imposter Ook is whoever set up the original "alt_account" for the Elantris thing.
I think Way of Kings is going to have plenty subtle clues for us theorizers to pick up, and many more for me to deliberately misinterpret.
I'm stoked to be theorizing again.
I'm happy to be theorizing for the first time on BS's forums. Unfortunately I wasn't here before Mistborn came out. How I wish I could change that. BUT NO! We will not look back! For it is the future we now theorize!

A CHALLENGER APPEARS!
You guys astonish me.
Of course, now I can't say why.
Ooo, so we're either really close, or we're waaay off. Those are the only reasons Peter would give us such praise! (or.. non-praise)
Hrmm...

« on: April 13, 2010, 12:49:44 AM »In Warbreaker, Siri says that the beard looks bleached so that he looks older than he really is.
Now that you mention it, I recall that as well. I'm kinda of surprised by the idea that BS might have put Hoid right there in the prologue though. That's my only thought process to discourage the idea.
Obviously the Blades are stored in another Realm, most likely the Spiritual.
I agree with this. Spiritual makes the most sense.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: The Cosmere- Life and Death
« on: April 09, 2010, 09:56:18 PM »Do the different worlds in the Cosmere exist in the same realm?
I would say yes, with my only backup being the one person who connects these worlds (hoid) is always described (when he is described) the same way. If we take that and say that he has lived three lifetimes and just happens to be on 3 different planets for each of those lifetimes, I would assume his appearance would change. That's assuming (again, a lot of that going on) reincarnation or whatever we wanna call it, changes your appearance.
Yup. That's my only evidence. Sad I know.

As you can see in the prologue Szeth isn't used to this place he's in and the prologue kind of pushes that same feeling on you. I think it was intentional. Most of the chapters are written in a way they make you feel (as the reader) like the character feels in the world.
Wow, that... makes sense. You do feel confused while reading it but so is Szeth. Oh Braaaandon, you did it again sir!

I guess that with the scope of a project like this, the names of these kingdoms and treaties and such IS gradual exposition. And we've got three things to do with Lashing. There might be more to it than that, also making this relatively gradual.
I agree. With how big this story is going to be, I don't think that BS can take us on that gradual reveal we are used to with his writing. We know that this is only one magic system and not even a complex one with what we've been shown so far (that's not saying it can't get more complex obviously, but the system seems relatively simple), that being said if say, BS showed us three different metals all at one time WITH explanation at the time, it would have been too much. With how it is in WoK three lashings does not three metals make.
As far as the religion and kingdoms go, yes I consider this veeery gradual. Imagine how many different cultures are going to be in this series. Hearing a little background about a treaty between two kingdoms being torn to shreds by one of the parties only gives me a small tickle to my brain about what will be revealed next.
