Wow, that was good. I can't wait for RoW.

And I've read Dawnshard. If you don't read it before RoW, there will be a lot of surprises, if it takes place at all before RoW.

On the 17th Shard there was talk that it might not be out for nonbackers until after Rythm of War. I really want to read it prior to reading RoW.
I highly doubt he would not have it released at the same time or before RoW. I have not read it (not a backer), but after reading Edgedancer during my first read of the series in between books, I definitely won't read RoW until I read Dawnshard. Especially since posters on here have been saying it's more relevant and important even than Edgedancer.Quote:
Sanderson's last update on the Kickstarter made it sound like it would be in e-book stores Monday-ish. No print editions for a year maybe
Yeah, The Lopen is one of my favorites. But i did appreciate how Huio swearing the 3rd ideal before him, made him realize that "protecting those you hate" meant he wasnt as well liked as he thought. Made me feel for the guy, so when his accidental swearing of the 3rd ideal happened, it felt great.heddleston said:
In the first two books the Lopen kinda annoyed me, but now he may be my favorite character anywhere. He's hilarious, and yet at the end of Oathbringer and here in Dawnshard we see awesome and touching character growth. His moments of ideal swearing followed by actual swearing at deities are the best. Also I'm curious to see what else Rysn has going on besides the heightening. Maybe some allomancy? Little feruchemy?

Dawnshard talk
Going back to the size of the Windrunners, I wonder if Sanderson is backing himself into a bit of a corner. The number of Singers who can use Voidlight seem to be fairly large, but up to this point, they have had their hands full against just one Windrunner. Now we have at least 5 of the 3rd ideal, each with their own squires. That is a force to be reckoned with and could wreak havoc on an enemy army. I wish we knew about how many full Radiants there used to be, at any given time. You have to think that hundreds of these powerful people would completely wreck the enemy forces. Especially once they start getting their plate. The enemy Surgebinders seem like they would get slaughtered against that many wearing full plate.
Secret history should be must read as well.heddleston said:
Yeah you can't just read Well of Ascension and not go on to Hero of Ages. That's too much of a cliffhanger.

I had always heard one should hold off until you finish all existing Mistborn books before tackling Secret History since it can spoil some stuff from Bands of Mourning.
