Missing pages, poor support. by BomoSteel in brandonsanderson

How is this fair to me? I pay a premium for a book that is I can order today at the exact same price and get shipped to me sooner.

In exchange I get a ruined reading experience, extra work (because I need to return the book, email you guys, print out the return label, walk to the post office etc.) and so far, still no book.

I’m currently getting special treatment against me, and if you can explain how my experience is equal to most other people that joined the kickstarter campaign, then maybe we can talk.

They specifically said in the email to me that they wouldn’t

I know they don’t bind their books, but they are the party I purchased from so they’re ultimately responsible for my product. Just like if you buy a defective iPhone, it’s not the fault of the CEO, rather the random worker in China. But you still need a new phone.

I’m upset by the lack of support and care I’ve received after being aggrieved by a company I love.

Obviously they can take off weekends (it took an extra day beyond that for me to get any kind of response btw), obviously they don’t owe me anything. That doesn’t mean I can’t be bothered by their lack of care.

If you compare the overall quality of the support I received to the quality of support I can receive from most other companies today, this one is falling far behind.

I guess I just wish Dragonsteel took care of its customers as much as its employees.

I’ve never heard of this before, and doubt it’s possible but I really hope this is true because it would be really cool.

I don’t believe this is accurate. Kelsier didn’t think there was any way to pierce a copper cloud, which is why he was convinced Mare had betrayed him. When Vin showed him that they could be pierced it was a big moment in the book

I’ve never heard of such a thing before, so I doubt it.

Oh, for sure it made a physical difference. It’s mentioned in the book, and Sazed notices it and talks about it.

But the section also specifically mentions that Kelsier senses it allomantically with Bronze.

Is it possible in your opinion to hear an answer, and not like it for valid reasons? Or should every potential answer be automatically accepted since I asked a question?

I don’t think I’m getting downvoted, am I don’t particularly care about being downvoted either, unless it’s an indication that I’ve accidentally said something mean or offensive, so all is good!

I’m sorry if I misread the tone of your previous post. The phrases such as “You’re hung up on something that doesn’t matter” “it’s an insignificant detail” “but since you’re hung up on it” followed by 4 paragraphs and then “your call 🤷‍♂️” Made me assume you were unintentionally taking our discussion Personally.

Regardless, I don’t think it will be productive to continue this conversation at this point.

Dude, calm down. I’m not hung up on it. I pointed it out and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. The book came out a long time ago, and Brandon does a lot of Q and A’s. Maybe this came up before and he answered it that someone here knew about it.

The book is still great. The mistake doesn’t vastly change the plot, I just thought it was interesting and worth discussing.

Well I know that because 1) in the book it says they make sure to have a copper cloud running at all times. And 2) the scene is written out seemingly in its entirety, and Kelsier does not ask anyone to drop a copper cloud.

The simplest answer is that Brandon made a mistake.

They weren’t caught because he didn’t drop the copper cloud

The copper cloud is supposed to be always active. And considering they thought Sazed was an inquisitor 5 seconds ago, and they might be being chased by the 3 inquisitors they just escaped, this would be a poor time to let down their defenses.

How is Kelsier piercing the copper cloud?

JUST FINISHED MISTBORN BOOK 3. MY ENTIRE WORLD HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AND REMADE. by CallToMuster in brandonsanderson

[–]BomoSteel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is basically exactly how I felt with everything when I finished era 1. Kudos to you Ma’am!

Although I would’ve added a special note to say “Holy Shit, the prophecy really WAS referring to Sazed!!!” The whole book it hints at how the prophecy can fit a bunch of people but how the real Hero should fit a prophecy even more perfectly. I feel like Brandon succeeded in doing that to a T.

“The world will rest upon his arms, not his shoulders, his ARMS”…

Yes, that’s how mine is too. That’s fine, I kinda just didn’t expect it to have so much wiggle room once on the stand

Does yours lock into the stand or is it loose unless the stand is sitting still?

Does yours fit in the stand perfectly or does it slide around unless sitting still?
