The book was fantastic but it had some jarring editing errors. This has to be the worst edited book I have ever read. For instance, one sentence started "Dalinar He..." Now this mistake is totally understandable. Sanderson had already established that it was Dalinar earlier in the paragraph. So he must have just forget to delete Dalinar at the beginning of the sentence. But to not catch it while editing? Insane! Who was proofreading this book? There are way too many errors like this that just totally took me out of the story. It's bizarre really.

Do these pretty symbols in the front and back of this book play any sort of role in the story?

Agreed. Also, I'm thinking the book didn't change at all from the ARC

The bridges were arched and were much longer than the chasms *NM*

How does that keep them from toppling when they are pushed over the edge of the chasms, though? *NM*
