Okay, I have no idea how many of you will know what this means but.....
Wind and Truth arrived!!!!!
For context: about a month ago, I discovered that the next book in my literal favourite series (the Stormlight Archive) was up for preorder and would be published December 6. I spent a bunch of money to preorder the hardcover copy. It said it would arrive 6-7 days later (on the 12 or 13th). It's early!
And it's sooooooooo pretty. The dust jacket has a colour version of the map on the inside! You can see the non-colour version in the book, but this is colour so it's cooler. There's also the symbols of the Knights Radiant (from the series) there too and it's so pretty. Previously, I've had access to a hardcover with a dust jacket just once: when I had to get the fourth book (this is the fifth, have I mentioned that?) from my library. They taped the jacket down so I couldn't really look at anything, but they didn't do that with this one!
The front cover of the actual book, without the dust jacket, is embossed with a symbol from the series too and it looks so nice. It's all so simple and crisp. And then, on the inside of the cover, there's these stunning artworks of Honour and Cultivation, who are two of the three gods of the series, and then two of Honour's Heralds. Previously, the art has been just the Heralds (I think) and this book is the end of the first arc of the story.
Can you tell I'm excited about this? Brandon Sanderson is my favourite author and this is my favourite series. I'm so excited. The bus ride time I've been using to write is going to be reading for the next week, y'all (this will NOT interfere with posting, don't worry)
Anyways, I'm really excited, and I want to know if any of you know about the cosmere. (*incoherent excited screaming in the background*)
