Brandon Sanderson / Re: How did you find out about Brandon Sanderson?
« on: July 03, 2010, 04:21:01 AM »
I had never heard about Sanderson before it was known he was to complete the WoT series.  Started to read the current version of Warbreaker, and really liked it.  From there it was to Mistborn triology (I was totally hooked half way through the Final Empire). Elantris and final version of Warbreaker followed afterwards.  Sanderson has become one of my absolute favourite authors in fantasy, and this forum has been a great resource in delving deeper in the material.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Way of Kings Discussion (prelude, prologue & chapters 1-3) :SPOILERS:

uhm, hi.  Long time lurker here :)
I've read the preview a couple of times now, and it looks like we're in for a real treat with the Stormlight Archive.  Can't wait for the whole book.
Now for the prologue, I'm struck by the "drunk"' guy's comment when Szeth meets him;  "Have you seen me?" .   Then later in the same paragraph, we're made aware that one of the statues picturing the Ten Heralds are gone, Shalash's to be exact.  Now, this is probably just coincidence, but I'm kinda connecting this to Hoid as well (I'm aware others have a "Hoid" feeling about the drunk as well).  I think it's mentioned somewhere on these forums that Hoid witnessed the breaking of Adonalsium. If the start of the war in the prelude is somehow connected to the breaking,  Shalash would have been there, being technically immortal and having somewhat special abilities right?
Now, feel free to tear apart my theory here,  Shalash = Hoid = drunken guy in the prologue.  (Sorry for my bad English btw :) )
