Well, I'll be keeping an eye on it. Jacob Send a noteboard - 07/09/2010 02:53:38 PM
I mean the errors are so bad that I'm flabbergasted that they made it into the book. There was one point when it was supposed to say "supernatural" but said "supernal" instead


You'd be surprised. The ARCs were very very messy. Not having read the final version, I hold out hope that it improved a little bit. :P

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 787 Views

Great deal... Jacob - 07/09/2010 03:41:55 PM 1593 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 1744 Views
they are glyphs, I believe fistofpainx - 07/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 1547 Views
Ha. Jacob - 08/09/2010 03:01:48 PM 1655 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 1434 Views
The best quote for me so far was at the end of Chapter 21. j-whitt987 - 07/09/2010 04:45:44 AM 1630 Views
Mine was the first line of the Epilogue. Seriana Sedai - 13/09/2010 06:30:11 AM 1416 Views
Dear lord did anybody even bother to edit this book? Dark Knight - 07/09/2010 02:23:23 PM 1605 Views
I was worried that they'd miss a lot of those. Jacob - 07/09/2010 02:30:11 PM 1583 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 1458 Views

The bridges. Palatine - 12/09/2010 01:42:11 AM 1662 Views
I wondered the same thing a few times. j-whitt987 - 12/09/2010 03:11:11 AM 1487 Views
The bridges were arched and were much longer than the chasms *NM* Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 03:30:48 AM 831 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 760 Views
Think about it Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 05:17:07 PM 1497 Views
I don't see. Palatine - 12/09/2010 06:18:22 PM 1569 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 1593 Views
