Jemron’s Report from The Way of Kings Midnight Release Party
Written by Jemron
Wednesday, 22 September 2010 03:08

This is a huge sword.
This is a huge sword that I think was given to Peter (Brandon’s assistant) as a gift right before the release. A guy from 17th Shard who was dressed as Wit from tWoK was holding it and let me take a snapshot of it. It says “The Way of Kings 8-31-10.” Freaking awesome.

This is obviously way overdue, so I’ll get right to it… WARNING: I don’t know the meaning of the word “brief.”

Monday, Aug 30, 7AM – I wake up and get ready, super excited to get my work day over with so that I can get to the party and have a good time.

The Way of Kings Great Hunt!
Written by Yelenia

This just in! Brandon and Tor.com are launching the first digital scavenger hunt in Wheel of Time history! You can get full details at Tor.com‘s page – but here’s the deal:

Starting tomorrow an encrypted page that reveals a Wheel of Time secret will post to Brandon Sanderson’s website. The actual page won’t go live until 8/31! To decipher the page, fans will have to collect unique digital codes that will be printed on the back of Wheel of Time bumper stickers. Brandon will be hiding at least one sticker per tour stop inside copies of The Way of Kings. (See below for those dates!) Each code unlocks a part of the page – getting us closer to the big reveal.

So be on the lookout for the oval Wheel of Time bumper stickers!  If you find one, you can bask in the glory on the Stormblessed forums!

Video – Way of Kings Reading, JordanCon 2010
Written by Steve
Tuesday, 6 July 2010 12:37

Because our site focuses on The Stormlight Archive series, Portalstones.com (the Wheel of Time site that has recorded JordanCon for the last 2 years) has allowed us to bring you video of Brandon Sanderson from JordanCon 2010 (Saturday, April 24).

Here, Mr. Sanderson reads part of Chapter 3 and Interlude 5 of The Way of Kings, and talks a little about literacy and gender roles, plus the “spren,” spirit-creatures that play an important part in the book.  Portalstones will have more video from JordanCon in the next few weeks, but for now, enjoy some of The Way of Kings in the author’s own voice (hit “more” to see the video players):
