We made it! Thanks for everyone who participated. Not posting a "spoilers" vs. "no spoilers" thread this week as there's nothing left to spoil! (well, minus Oathbringer previews, but none of that here!)

So this is our last discussion thread. Edgedancer chapters 1 - 20. Thoughts?

NOTE: To anybody still working through here... Sorry I tripped at the finish line with these posts! Oathbringer and crazy deadlines at work have kept me busy and this slipped too far into the back of my mind. My apologies to those enjoying it.

Anyways, rather than post a bunch of makeup threads, I figure it's time to just jump to the end of the book. This thread is for discussing everything through the end of Words of Radiance! I'm planning to make a post for Edgedancer in two weeks, right on schedule.

All of that said... Here is the NO SPOILERS discussion thread of the following chapters:

Chapter 66: Spit and Bile through Epilogue: Art and Expectation

Feel free to start posting. And just to be clear: "No spoilers" means that you can't post anything beyond the chapters listed. Anything mentioned in the chapters covered by this thread is fair game.

Cheers!

We've been talking about how to handle the release of Oathbringer in /r/Stormlight_Archive. A megathread (with full spoilers for the book) will certainly be created, and we're considering the possibility of additional discussion threads for each part of the book (primarily to offer a place of discussion for those who read more slowly and want to discuss things before finishing the whole book).

I'm curious if there's interest in more detailed discussion.

I don't, personally, think that anything more detailed than one thread per part is necessary. But I'm happy to set something up in /r/StormlightArchiveBC if there's a lot of interest. Either a discussion thread for each chapter or one for every few chapters. I'd probably post them all at once, and include an index thread to help you find the right one easily. The point would be for these threads to be a place for those who haven't finished reading, so spoilers would be confined to the end of that chapter/section. They would not be a place for someone who has finished reading to come back and talk details about every chapter. If you want to talk details about something, make a fresh post in the main subreddit, or bring it up in the megathread. ;)

Sound off in the comments if this is something you really want. Or if you think it's a completely waste of time (i.e. one thread per part is definitely good enough).

• Chapter 13: The Day's Masterpiece

Hey folks,

I've just posted the week 20 discussion threads, meaning we've got just one more week left before we're on to Words of Radiance. (Though I'm not sure if anyone's actually hung back!) So I wanted to take a moment to step back and talk about where we're at.

My biggest question is about pacing. I get the sense that we're moving very slow for most people. Is anyone sticking to our schedule? Or has everyone gone ahead? Are you happy with the slower pace? Would you prefer to keep the existing schedule for discussion? Or do you think discussion would be better if we picked up the pace? Do you like the weekly posts? Or would you prefer to bump up to bi-weekly? Monthly? A new discussion thread for every Part?

Any other questions, comments, or concerns?

To anyone who may have missed the change, we're planning to cover Edgedancer as well now. This wasn't on the original schedule. For anyone who doesn't have that novella, you can get it as part of Arcanum Unbounded. If you're not interested in Brandon's other work, know that there will be a standalone release of Edgedancer in October (in time for our schedule).
