I'm anout 325 pages into it and I've gotta say... *SPOILERS* j-whitt987 Send a noteboard - 04/09/2010 04:35:41 AM
I LOVE this book! I'm behind the pace I was hoping to set (my wife hates that I've quit being social anyway), but I'm loving every page. My favorite character so far is Kal. I knew he wasn't going to jump down the Honor Chasm when that scene came up, but I still got a huge grin on my face and said, "Shit's gonna hit the fan!" when he walked away. I'm really liking Syl too. Not sure what's up with her, but I'm really interested in finding out. I wasn't digging Dalinar too much until we got to see his vision during a Storm. Now I'm hoping to see more of what happen with that. Are these Shards all from Adonalsium or are they just a reaction (I'm at a loss for the right word) of said Shards of Adonalsium? Will say more after I read further.
Kirk: Spock, you want to know something? Everybody’s human.
Spock: I find that remark…insulting.

This is my favorite point (and the one that makes me feel stupid). Thanks *NM* Deadsy - 05/09/2010 08:07:42 PM 702 Views
Tavi makes good point also, but this is the one that stick out to me during a bridge run scene. *NM* j-whitt987 - 05/09/2010 08:22:43 PM 659 Views

Exactly, why don't they just... *spoilers* Gher - 09/09/2010 04:07:43 AM 1329 Views
Chasmfiends and highstorms. The storms are worse eastward in /w maybe enuff force to pulverize rock. Bookwyrm - 09/09/2010 09:06:10 AM 1508 Views
The wooden permanent bridges seemed to work just fine. Gher - 09/09/2010 03:31:58 PM 1318 Views
Keep in mind, though Tavi - 09/09/2010 03:41:00 PM 1424 Views

Great deal... Jacob - 07/09/2010 03:41:55 PM 1320 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 1253 Views
Ha. Jacob - 08/09/2010 03:01:48 PM 1354 Views
I have some ideas about glyphs, the nature of power, and plot elements(some heavy theorizing) Jacob - 08/09/2010 03:34:32 PM 1117 Views
The best quote for me so far was at the end of Chapter 21. j-whitt987 - 07/09/2010 04:45:44 AM 1319 Views
Mine was the first line of the Epilogue. Seriana Sedai - 13/09/2010 06:30:11 AM 1169 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 1302 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
I've noticed several on my read through, also. j-whitt987 - 07/09/2010 03:34:13 PM 1280 Views

I have to imagine that they caught some of it. Jacob - 08/09/2010 03:59:07 PM 1219 Views

The bridges. Palatine - 12/09/2010 01:42:11 AM 1341 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 698 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 1277 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
