Who Sharded? Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I remember several ARC's for TWoK coming out many months before release (I even managed to snag one) though I understand why they wouldn't do that for TWoR. Still, I want to know when we can start expecting to see reviews pop up. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan he/him Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 No ARCs for this book, sadly. The printing process is down to the wire, so even reviewers are getting eBooks/PDFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, well then does anyone know when the eBooks are going out? I'm just hungry for reviews/impressions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan he/him Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) None legally before the official release date, I don't think. Professional reviewers are not in the habit of releasing their copies to be pirated. EDIT: Oops, misread your post. See Shardlet down below.

PeterAhlstrom he/him Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I don't know for sure, but I think that reviews will be embargoed until the release date, with a couple of specific spoiler-free exceptions. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moogle Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Now I have read that review I can't wait anymire . I know its around 40+ days but seems like an eternity. Any idea what might have caused this reaction "I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS....!!!!!" Hopefully Dalinar kicking the bucket. Could also be Jasnah dying but I refuse to accept that. (Hence the I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Sharded? Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Usually when I'm looking forward to a book as much as this one, I start searching for reviews about a month before release. It seems some reviewers are getting ARC's or digital copies of this book, though they're not saying much until release. They do seem to like it, however. http://kurtsperspective.blogspot.com/2014/01/finished-reading-words-of-radiance-book.html https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/838183520?book_show_action=true&page=1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobain Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 The review from Goodreads says its exciting and heartbreaking. Heartbreaking? NOOOO.... Yes, i saw that. Hopefully it's just regarding Shallan's flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who Sharded? Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Whoa, here's a person who is currently reading it that I overlooked on Goodreads at first. They provide a list of the ten Surges https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/808508133?book_show_action=true&page=1 Has Pressure been changed to Adhesion? Whaaat?

Pressure is Adhesion, Progression is Growth (Progression really is a better name), and our unknown Surge is Cohesion! Probably, anyways. I am so so excited. I really want to get a good look at Cohesion. I am guessing it makes force fields out of air (keeping the air 'cohered'), as well as other fun things. Stonewards makes a lot more sense. I think I will keep this avatar, because transportation + cohesion sounds lovely. Edited February 27, 2014 by Moogle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromptj he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 That sounds so much better than stickability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
