Brandon Sanderson / Oh My God, I'm In The 'Acnowledgements'
« on: June 10, 2009, 07:05:24 AM »
K, i used to post here a while ago, I just recently came back with a new username (AGrey, which I will be returning to after I post this)

I remember reading, and commenting on, the Warbreaker drafts as they were posted.

I got Warbreaker today, as I posted in another thread, when I open it up and read the acknowledgments, and i see my name.

In a Brandon Sanderson book.

My name.

Brandon Sanderson / Fun idea for your second read (or third, fourth...
« on: August 12, 2005, 04:41:01 AM »
I just finished the book the second time, and instead of reading it straight through, i did something interesting:  i only read Raoden's chapters (or Sarene's chapters with Raoden in them) from start to finish.

then i did the same thing for the other characters: read everything that is either from that character's POV, or has that character in it.

It was a great deal of fun, because i knew (from my first read) what was going on, but seeing everything unravel as one of the thee saw it (that is to say: ignorant of the other's plans) was incredible.

you really get a much better look at the chapters, especially the ones involving the Widow's Trial, that way.


Does anyone have any more tips for wringing every last drop of enjoyment out of the book while we wait for another to fall our way?

(by the way, this is my first post here, and i just wanted to say: i heard about the book from the forums of another fantasy series i read (the Wheel of Time) and i took the time out of my busy wrkload at the library to pull it off the shelf.  I immediately took it home, and finished at about 6:00 the next morning (a quite common occourence for a fantasty lover like me)  but have no fear:  this saturday, i'll be stopping by at borders, and you'll be recieving your 2 cent royalty check from me in no time  :)  )
