River of Souls; a WoT official short story coming in 2013

[Elynde]

Well, I am back from Comicon and managed to pick up something rather cool.  Apparently, this is a convention only printing and has only a few stories with the complete release pending next month.  Check out the 3rd entry.  :)  I do believe I am going to sit down and do a little reading today.

 

And, yes.  I did get this signed by all the authors in person.  No, I did not ask any questions of Sanderson (which seems to have surprised him as he asked several times if I was sure I didn't want to ask anything).  No, I will not post any spoilers anywhere until after the full book release.

Yep, picked it up at PCC as well.  And had the same experience with him.  I think he's just used to WoT fans grilling him every chance he gets.  So those of us just going "Thanks for finishing it, pleasure to meet you." threw him for a loop. :)

A short story?  So only 1000 pages instead of 2500 (ebook pages).

A note on RoS: 

 

I will be treating this as spoiler material. For an indefinite period, RoS will be restricted to designated threads. 

 

I will create a RoS spoiler thread when it has been released.

Read Jason's review and this part troubles me a bit:

 

...purist readers who appreciated Brandon's attempts to maintain a tone appropriate for the series will find that it slips here somewhat, and we get a voice more similar to his own books.

 

Honestly if the tone is more off than ToM and AMoL it will be a pretty difficult read. Interested to see the material but it basically seems like fan fic at this point.

I believe it is out on the 25th of June.
