US edition, page 445.

 

"Deepe" is spelled differently a quarter way down the page,

 

"Deep snapped his jaw shut..."

[Lironah]

P. 787 ...and it wore pale leather straps crossed the chest...

[Lironah]

P. 792 Mat says 'red stone', but it's normally given as 'redstone'. Gotta love spell checkers.

[Manetheren Lord]

The chapter "Judgment" is spelled without the first e making "Judgement" on every page during the chapter and in the index.

That's the American English spelling. It's correct (here in the States, at least )

US HC: 833 --> "...wolf image retuned immediately..."

 

783 --> "I hope so," Mat said." (extra " after sentence)

 

 

There were a couple of the extra quotations spread throughout the book, so keep a wary eye out for those, eh?

P. 833 The wolf image retuned immediately...

[Bob T Dwarf]

page 386 just after the break:

 

... My own sister, Sigril leads the Lastriders, who will watch from the ridge to the southeast and send word if we should we fall. ...

[mattyh]

UK Edition, page 597

 

"She wove Earth, Spirit and Air into a Healing.."

 

Aes Sedai healing is Water, Spirit and Air. Given Egwene's lack of Talent for healing, she shouldn't be using Earth.

 

Also, how did Tam leave the camp (presumably with Nynaeve) when there was a dreamspike over it??? I was so confused about this.

At that stage, Slayer is still experimenting. This is the period when Grady says for a while we couldn't make Gates but we can again.

[Sid]

Actually Tam left from a town well away from the camp, where he met the Aes Sedai when he scouted there after the bubble of evil.

[Bob T Dwarf]

page 625 3rd paragraph from the bottom:

 

"... They galloped their horses to the of camp, ..." probably should be "... the edge of camp, ..."

[AuldGoldBeard]

p. 409 [uS]

"Irilin gaped."

 

Should be "Iralin."

 

 

I don't have the page number, and am not 100% sure, but I believe Alliandre was described as sun-haired at one point. If I catch it on a re-read, I'll edit this post.

[Oliver]

Yeah I noticed all these typo's myself, makes you wonder what happenned with the Editor and Proof reader.

 

I must admit I was confused about the timeline jumping back and forth as well, very confusing, it was all over the place. Probably why some folk are now theorizing that Nakomi is Verin as the timeline is screwed up so bad.

The plot is still amazing so much work for the Light still to do and apparently by end of book all Hell is going to break loose the next day.

But all these errors are confusing the clues and the foreshadowing technique is some of them deliberate or was the Editor on her holiday when the draft was aproved for print? RJ wouldn't have made as many mistakes, Iv never noticed any previously tbh.

As for the timeline confusion it's a shame they couldn't have a sub heading stating "3 days previously" or "present day" etc

 

 

I was just in the middle of my second read through and thought this myself. Who in the light edited this book. tGS was really well done with a few mistakes but nothing as big as whats in ToM. I guess the editor is looking for a new job? At least we can hope

[Terez]

'Lastriders' has the feel of something Brandon would come up with. Just saying.

[TheTruePower]

US edition: Page 533

 

The viewpoint seems to switch from Faile to Perrin briefly, then back to Faile in this chapter.

 

The chapter follows Faile as she prepares for Perrin's trial. Perrin and Faile exchange words, and that's when the viewpoint shifts, or Faile can read Perrin's mind.

 

"He suddenly remembered his vision from the wolf dream. Sheep running in front of wolves. He'd thought himself one of the wolves. But could he have been wrong?

"Light! He had been wrong about that. He knew what it meant, now."

 

And then they talk more, and the viewpoint returns to Faile.

 

I noticed this as well and believe this is a gross mistake. How has nobody noticed this prior to the book's release?

 

Also, Ituralde mentions "Deathgates" when Rand appears to save the day. How did he know of that word?

In A Good Soup

p. 517 and p. 520

Shipped and unshipped are used backwards.

When you unship oars you get the blades

out of the boat and put them in the water.

Shiping the oars means to put the blades back into the boat.

[Tirade]

All the typos and errors could be due to the pattern breaking down and bubbles of evil seeping into the book itself. Bravo BS - a very post-modern choice. =)

[davesmith1983]

The amount of errors found so far in this thread (specifically the big ones like Perrin rediscovering that Saidin was cleansed) is pretty disturbing.

ARRRG! I downloaded the audiobook, since I usually wait until the paperback is out (to match the rest of my collection) so I don't see the typos on the page, but I just discovered a very frustrating glitch in the audio version of chapter 24: there is a chunk missing!!! The part where Perrin is talking to Hopper after chasing the wolves, it skips ahead to the very end of a fight with Slayer, and I can't even tell how much is missing!!! I will go to the appropriate spoiler thread for this part of the book to ask this question: WHAT HAPPENED OMG??!! I might need to run to a book store just to read those few pages, if I can find a copy. Edited November 7, 2010 by al Corey

p639 "We'll work it out," Galad said. "You let me protect you, Egwene, and I'll obey you in anything else. I promise it."

 

It should be Gawyn speaking not Galad.

 

-edit, just notice it was already posted here... lol

Here's something that confuses me. The Black Ajah, Siuan, Leane and Nynaeve were all using copies of the dream ter'angreal--i.e. ones that only allow you to channel a minute trickle. So how were they throwing around blasts like they were in the Dream Battle?

Since nearly everyone was using copies Elayne had made, they were mostly on an equal footing. Another point is that they weren't using weaves that directly relied on relative strength (i.e. trying to shield the black sisters), so T'A'R helped augment the intended effects.

 

Be that as it may, the channeling going on there did seem a bit over the top.
