I'll wait until more people have actually read it before I start posting any kind of discussion on it, but it was definitely one of Sanderson's best.

The wooden permanent bridges seemed to work just fine. Gher - 09/09/2010 03:31:58 PM 1319 Views
Keep in mind, though Tavi - 09/09/2010 03:41:00 PM 1424 Views

Do these pretty symbols in the front and back of this book play any sort of role in the story? j-whitt987 - 06/09/2010 10:33:01 AM 1468 Views
they are glyphs, I believe fistofpainx - 07/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 1254 Views

Dear lord did anybody even bother to edit this book? Dark Knight - 07/09/2010 02:23:23 PM 1302 Views
I was worried that they'd miss a lot of those. Jacob - 07/09/2010 02:30:11 PM 1303 Views
Agreed. Also, I'm thinking the book didn't change at all from the ARC Dark Knight - 07/09/2010 02:37:33 PM 1165 Views
Well, I'll be keeping an eye on it. Jacob - 07/09/2010 02:53:38 PM 1202 Views

The bridges. Palatine - 12/09/2010 01:42:11 AM 1342 Views
I wondered the same thing a few times. j-whitt987 - 12/09/2010 03:11:11 AM 1211 Views
The bridges were arched and were much longer than the chasms *NM* Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 03:30:48 AM 699 Views
How does that keep them from toppling when they are pushed over the edge of the chasms, though? *NM* j-whitt987 - 12/09/2010 02:23:32 PM 634 Views
Think about it Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 05:17:07 PM 1224 Views
I don't see. Palatine - 12/09/2010 06:18:22 PM 1278 Views
Agreed. I spent a couple hours thinking about it yesterday and came to the same conclusion. j-whitt987 - 13/09/2010 01:54:45 PM 1314 Views
