Nice, I think that's the first time anyone's put me in their sig.

I totally just tried to say Szeth with an S while in front of my computer @ work and my co-workers thought I was having a seizure from staring at my screen too long.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but during the Hero of Ages tour Brandon read an excerpt from the middle of the series - it was a chapter about a man who 'wore white on the day he went to kill a king' or something like that. I can't remember the exact details but it was very cool.

That would be the prologue of Way of Kings.

Wow, really? That's surprising in a very cool way because I'm 99% certain he said it was from a later book and wouldn't spoil anything.

Did it include a couple of unlucky guards?

My memory's a bit rusty because this is a year ago. I don't remember any guards. I do remember he had been hired to wear white and he didn't question why, because he was an assassin. Maybe so he'd be disguised as a priest? He was slowly walking through this castle-type place, and there was a celebration? Or maybe a bonfire?

Perhaps it was another time when someone was being assassinated.

Judging by the setting and the politics of the world we've been told about, I imagine assassinations are fairly common.

You're definitely talking about the prologue. That's not to say it was necessarily the prologue back then when Brandon read it to you.

It's not too hard.  You just make the hissy s sound with the buzzy z sound at the same time. ha ha.


That's actually impossible to do. :) Z is what is called a "voiced" version of the same sound as S- that is, you're making a buzzing sound in your throat while  pronouncing it. It's an on/off thing, so you can't do both at once unless you are blessed with two heads. ;)

Or, at least, two vocal cords.  I've heard that's rare but happens.
