Hah, I thought almost the same thing. Gher Send a noteboard - 09/09/2010 04:16:28 AM
Kaladin was very similiar to Kelsier from Mistborn, I felt, both in background and behavior. Kept expecting him to die in the later chapters. I'm actually surprised, given Sanderson's mass killing of major characters in Mistborn, that none of the main characters died, though of course he's got nine more books to do that in :P


As I mentioned in my reply below, Kaladin reminded me more of Raoden, though perhaps that's just because of his situation.

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 1569 Views
they are glyphs, I believe fistofpainx - 07/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 1358 Views

Dear lord did anybody even bother to edit this book? Dark Knight - 07/09/2010 02:23:23 PM 1411 Views
I was worried that they'd miss a lot of those. Jacob - 07/09/2010 02:30:11 PM 1400 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 1273 Views

The bridges. Palatine - 12/09/2010 01:42:11 AM 1441 Views
I wondered the same thing a few times. j-whitt987 - 12/09/2010 03:11:11 AM 1314 Views
The bridges were arched and were much longer than the chasms *NM* Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 03:30:48 AM 745 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 670 Views
Think about it Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 05:17:07 PM 1324 Views
I don't see. Palatine - 12/09/2010 06:18:22 PM 1374 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 1399 Views
