[Luckers]

This thread is for discussion of the entire Prologue.

graendal or moirane POV would be so cool

I don't see Graendal in the prologue since she was in tGS, but if Moiraine is--I called it first. At least on Dragonmount (to forestall the inevitable Terez comment--sorry darling).

 

But yeah, Moiraine would be wondiferous.

I want to see a Demandred POV, but I'm not expecting it. I think the spoilerific POV will be someone who we hereto had not expected to be a darkfriend.

I think he'll be the POV in the inhuman thing in the borderland section, unless that turns out to be Slayer.

I think Demandred may be plausible for the Threat to the Borderland POV. Demandred commanding the initial assaults.

Does anyone know what time the prologue will be released? Will it be at midnight eastern time on Tuesday September 21st?

[jemron]

That would be awesome if it is released at midnight Eastern time. That's 10pm my time, so I could read it before tomorrow!!

I pre-ordered the Kindle edition. But I don't have a Kindle? I do have a free Kindle app on my iPod Touch, and I downloaded the Kindle software for my computer, but my question is, once the e-book is available, will Amazon.com allow me to download it to my computer AND to my ipod touch? It told me "your order will automatically download to your Kindle on the day of the release" but, well I don't have a kindle, so now I'm wondering if a link of some sort will be made available on my amazon.com page once the prologue does show up?

 

Has anybody experienced this before?

[kamros]

I bought the latest Hunger Games book this way. I pre-ordered Mockingjay for Kindle days before the release, and it didn't download precisely at midnight. Instead it was something like 20-30 minutes later. I wanted to get into at midnight so I actually purchased it at midnight and then got a refund for the one that came later. If you want it exactly at midnight then your best bet is to just wait until then and purchase it, but if you're not going to stay up then pre-ordering it should get it to you fine.

Damnit, wish I had read this first! Guess I'm waiting another 3 hours then

Thanks! I can wait until 12:30 or 1am if I have to.

[Luckers]

Are we sure it's midnight? I was told noon EST.

[davesmith1983]

I don't know what's been said by Tor or Sanderson, but my experience with Kindle editions is that they've been available at 12:00 AM the day of the release.

I was the first to suggest Moiraine on Dragonmount (it was here, not Theoryland). But to be fair, the idea came from someone at tor.com - like you, I didn't dare to even hope in my mind until someone else mentioned the possibility. ;)

 

Also, I just found a post showing that the prologue became available at US-CST last year (my time). So...three hours at most, hopefully. EST would be nice (2 hours), but I don't expect it any earlier.

[Terez]

I think he'll be the POV in the inhuman thing in the borderland section, unless that turns out to be Slayer.

Slayer is unlikely as he has no reason to creep. It's either Fain or the _____ in the Blight.

[deepak_dragonreborn]

is the prologue out?? ahhh the anticipation!!!

[Terez]

Yup, it's out. :D

[Dashain_is_your_daddy]

Amazon.com still says it's only available for pre-order... Have you been able to download it?

[TreeJoe]

Anyway for dragonmount to post a link that will come back to their coffers? I don't have a kindle, or iphone, all I've got is a few laptops with adobe acrobat all over them :)

[vhsjezebel]

I just got mine from Barnes and Noble since Amazon still had just the pre-order page up. Had to install the software to read on PC, but no biggie!! So I'm about to be finding out those POVs!

[Dashain_is_your_daddy]

Can't order from B&N since I'm in Canada...

[The Fisher King]

My understanding is that Amazon will Download/Release it to folks at *1* am for the CENTRAL Time-Zoners.

 

 

Fish

 

Edit: Actually, COULD be *2* for Centralites now that I think on it - considerizing the fact that Amazon is PACIFIC Time and that is a 2 hour gap from Central Time.

 

Darn :(
