I also read Mistborn after the changes, and honestly, I like Tineye better.  To me, silvereye just brings to mind the color of silver rather than the use of the metal.  I think it does roll off the tongue well, but doesnt convey the use as well as tineye does.

So I was working on my novel and I accidentally spelled mismatched as "mistmatched." It instantly made me think of a few particular characters in Mistborn and Well. lol.

Very cool, very cool.  Kelsier is just one of those characters you like right off the bat.

Have you noticed that Kelsier's nickname in Brandon's website sample chapters is "Kell" but on Amazon.com it's "Kel"?

By the way, I'm loving the first chapters. Can't wait until it comes out.

I just got the 2nd book in electronic form from EOUL, and Silvereyes is still present in that work. I haven't read the first one though. (Although I did read the original original Mistborn and Final Empire, so fewer surprises for me! Really kind of interesting to see two fantasy worlds you knew get the Monster Mash into one.)

I liked it when the Svordish Navy showed up in Way of Kings...
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

I've decided not to read them, so that I don't spoil the book and have to skip over them (by spoil I mean end up thinking along the lines of 'oh, I've already read this, boring').

So, Um, you can allready buy proofs of this book on e-bay.  Is it just me or does that seam wrong, people who get proofs selling them months before the book comes out?
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

I agree, it's wrong. It's like selling a autographed baseball before it is even autographed.
