Warning for everyone who tends to read the Glossary first Larry Send a noteboard - 16/10/2010 03:16:09 PM
Picture evidence in the link below (it's autographed to me), but I'm not going to say anything of a spoilerish nature until November 2nd, when my review will go live on The OF Blog. I will post a mirror here that morning, though.

I think a comment I made in the linked post will have some very eager for the next 17 days to pass quickly ><img class=' />


Do not read the Glossary at all until you have finished the book. One entry alone spoils not only the long-anticipated murder question, but gives away a huge plot development in ToM. Thankfully, I didn't read it until I had skipped around a bit and had already read the relevant scenes (which some might view as being awesome).

On writing styles - your thoughts so far? ajfurst - 16/10/2010 01:43:42 AM 1366 Views
It's further apart than in TGS Larry - 16/10/2010 02:00:25 AM 1992 Views
Meh. I wish people would get over it. Joel - 16/10/2010 08:04:37 AM 1386 Views
Seriously. A lot of people have been so stupid over this whole style thing. Sheesh! everynametaken - 17/10/2010 01:31:45 AM 1236 Views
See, I never anticipated it being the same in the first place... Seriana Sedai - 17/10/2010 03:20:16 AM 1229 Views

Cool - private message me what happens rofl RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/10/2010 12:42:05 PM 1282 Views

I'm only 160 pages into it and won't finish it tonight...I think Larry - 16/10/2010 02:17:53 AM 1488 Views
I'd be interested in this question as well, once you've finished. *NM* RandAllThor - 16/10/2010 02:28:39 AM 1266 Views
I can't get into reading your blog post due to Lord o' Salv - 16/10/2010 03:37:34 AM 1139 Views

Well, thumbing ahead, I think I saw an oblique reference Larry - 16/10/2010 05:18:02 AM 1509 Views
Whoa, check out that COVER! Joel - 16/10/2010 07:58:31 AM 1309 Views
The cover image was released months ago. TaskmasterJack - 19/10/2010 10:04:16 PM 1133 Views
Has it lived up to your initial excitement on looking at the ending thus far? *NM* RandAllThor - 16/10/2010 11:11:44 AM 776 Views
It's a surprising book in many ways Larry - 16/10/2010 03:25:13 PM 1503 Views
A few questions, assuming you've now finished RandAllThor - 16/10/2010 03:39:57 PM 1321 Views
I don't read in a lineal fashion, so I'm only 50% done Larry - 16/10/2010 03:58:34 PM 1423 Views
Damn. I bet we're in for a cliffhanger. *NM* RandAllThor - 16/10/2010 04:01:56 PM 1140 Views
Larry - 16/10/2010 04:03:48 PM 1319 Views
I think you'd have denied it if it weren't true. I call unspoken confirmation. *NM* RandAllThor - 16/10/2010 04:13:47 PM 1293 Views
Is this in reference to Brandon's 'small unnoticed detail' from books 4-6? Terez - 17/10/2010 10:35:37 PM 1404 Views
Something else Larry - 17/10/2010 10:42:17 PM 1370 Views
Thanks! *NM* Terez - 17/10/2010 10:46:38 PM 672 Views

Ironically Sanderson's signature looks like he tried to cross out his own name from the title page *NM* Cannoli - 16/10/2010 12:22:33 PM 771 Views
He's done that on all the books I've had signed. *NM* kavorka - 16/10/2010 02:41:04 PM 660 Views
Just glancing at it that's what I thought had happened. *NM* j-whitt987 - 16/10/2010 11:24:08 PM 692 Views

Certainly... Etzel - 16/10/2010 03:36:29 PM 1425 Views
Or it might be that the glossary reveals that the murderer him/herself gets done over in ToM. RandAllThor - 16/10/2010 03:41:21 PM 1311 Views
Maybe, maybe not Larry - 16/10/2010 03:59:36 PM 1534 Views

Those are separate things Larry - 16/10/2010 04:48:31 PM 1439 Views
Can you at least say this much RandAllThor - 16/10/2010 05:26:55 PM 1351 Views
Some found it so Larry - 16/10/2010 05:28:56 PM 1557 Views
Re: Some found it so TSignus - 17/10/2010 12:37:34 AM 1345 Views
That would seem to rule out everyone but... Terez - 17/10/2010 10:33:08 PM 1358 Views
Are you certain of this? Larry - 17/10/2010 10:45:06 PM 1303 Views

I know you know that. I was just noting the odd thing you hinted at explicitly. *NM* NerveAgent - 16/10/2010 11:55:21 PM 1130 Views

Yes Larry - 16/10/2010 05:50:13 PM 1288 Views
And one last general question from me RandAllThor - 16/10/2010 05:51:51 PM 1154 Views
Thematically, TGS Larry - 16/10/2010 06:00:47 PM 1660 Views
Thanks, I'm happy with either the thematic or "stuff happening" model. *NM* RandAllThor - 16/10/2010 06:40:22 PM 1007 Views
And another (truly last) one, if I may RandAllThor - 18/10/2010 03:54:46 PM 1125 Views
I forgot to mention that the dedication page references both Linda and Mike *NM* Larry - 17/10/2010 12:24:40 AM 763 Views
You now sound as cryptic as Sanderson does and Jordan did. Tom - 18/10/2010 06:29:45 PM 1120 Views
Ha! I actually said a lot more than I meant to, ironically enough Larry - 18/10/2010 10:19:43 PM 1091 Views
Well, feel free to talk about the structure and prose, then. Tom - 18/10/2010 11:28:01 PM 986 Views
I would, but there's another problem in doing that Larry - 18/10/2010 11:32:35 PM 1440 Views
