The Ars Arcanum and Heralds

Editor’s note: Neverearth has provided some very interesting observation and theory about the Heralds in relation to the Ars Arcanum information in the back of The Way of Kings.  Other fans who have developed a theory or a new compilation of Stormlight Archive information are welcome to contact us; we look forward to showcasing a lot more fan musing and commentary on the blog!  Of course, as with most theories, there are varying degrees of spoiler within.  If you haven’t finished The Way of Kings, you may wish to bookmark this post and come back later.

This originated in my mind from the chapter headings, and the faces that changed with each chapter. I originally gave them personalities in my mind, with no real basis except how they looked. Then I saw that nifty Ars Arcanum table at the back of the book.

Jemron’s Report from The Way of Kings Midnight Release Party

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.

Killed by Lag’s Way of Kings Review (no spoilers)

(Editor’s note: Stormblessed.com is accepting fan-submitted reviews of The Way of Kings for publication here on our blog.  We hope the opinions of readers just like you will help you decide whether & when to read The Way of Kings.  If you would like to see your review here, please contact steve@stormblessed.com .)

I just read The Way of Kings, book one of The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. I thought he was a good writer when I read Elantris and Warbreaker. After I read Way of Kings, I know he is an excellent writer, one of the most original and creative that I have ever read. It is a skillfully written, expertly crafted story of enormous dimensions. It was quite a Journey that I will eagerly follow to its Destination of a planned ten books. As I read, I felt just about every emotion it is possible to feel – even love, which I now feel for the book itself.

Why Stormblessed?

Why start a site so soon?

Stormblessed.com opened to the public on July 4, 2010.  As Brandon Sanderson said in a blog post 8 days later, “A fansite for a book that isn’t even out yet is a bit baffling to me.”  The Way of Kings was released internationally on August 31, 2010 and immediately burst onto the New York Times bestseller list (#7), the Amazon top 100 (for hardcover and Kindle), and #1 on Audible.

Usually, a fansite starting up before a book release would be pretty crazy and impractical.  But this time was different.
