Mine comes Monday!
And for the lazy, at some point they’ll be on Sanderson’s website. Probably not TOO long after the digital sales are public next week.
I noticed it had alt text in the epub. Including that in the audiobook is a cool accessibility feature.
I just started The Spear Cuts Through Water last night, which is one I’ve heard a LOT of praise for.
It’s got a frame story inside a frame story and seems to have a fun time playing with the narration and POV. The “primary” story is written in third person narration, but it frequently and randomly throws in miniature first person POVs of minor characters (or groups of characters) – sometimes mid-paragraph, indicated by italics. So you’re just reading along and suddenly there’s a few words or a whole paragraph in first person (in italics) from some bystander who was previously mentioned.
It’s unique in a really fun way. :) Excited to see where it goes.
The prologue in Redshirts was hilarious though the rest of the book didn’t particularly wow me. I think I’m just not a big Scalzi fan because Old Man’s War was also just kind of “okay” for me. It’s amusing when it plays with tropes, but I think I just didn’t particularly like the characters.
I remember the Codas being a really fun treat though. (Part of that is maybe the way they were so experimental, and at the time I read it I didn’t have a lot of experience with something like them.)
Yeah, I added it.
Figured the banners probably need to be optimized but not sure what restrictions they have for various screen sizes.

They’re asking about a description, like you’d find at the top of a sidebar on Reddit. I guess we’ll probably want to put something like that at the top of the rules.
This is a community for discussion of Cosmere books by Brandon Sanderson
etc.
EDIT:
I took the liberty of adding something, but feel free to edit.
I also added banners and icons because I realized those were options. Copied from Reddit. Feel free to remove or change those while you’re at it. :)
Just realized we probably want to add something in this welcome message about how (for now) spoilery post contents need use spoiler markup? Until we get the post spoiler blurring worked out?
I’ll be there. I was planning to go last year but had a new baby instead. :)
Hang on to that declaration at least until October ;)
lol, I’d believe it.
