:revives: Don't die man! You have 8 chapters of WoK coming at us in the next few months!
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.

I'm planning on savoring it... Also, I'll be taking notes
I'm extremely busy on the galleys and probably won't update the blog until they're done. I'm thinking...Tuesday?
We got a spine width on the book today that may be final: 2 7/16". That's almost 1/4" wider than TGS.
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.
And I think that Peter may be astonished by the fact that we have gotten the Prologue, and we're already searching for/found Hoid.
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.
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.
Curse you, and curse all the times you have pulled an Ook!!!

You guys astonish me.
Of course, now I can't say why.
In Warbreaker, Siri says that the beard looks bleached so that he looks older than he really is.
Obviously the Blades are stored in another Realm, most likely the Spiritual.
Do the different worlds in the Cosmere exist in the same realm?
bah my bad, shouldn't be commenting in forums with little or no sleep.
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.
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.
