Thank you guys, I've only read the Second book in the series, so I was kinda lost, and had limited knowledge.

So I see a lot of controversy to why Kaladin was able to heal his wound when cut by a Szeth's Shardblade, while Szeth was not able to heal himself with his excess Stormlight he had with him when Kaladin killed him. So, my question; Are Spren, Stormlight, or Shards able to look at your strengths, and automatically apply it when in need? For example, Kaladin could heal a Shardblade (an Honorblade non of the less) cut which should have torn his soul because Syl or his Stormlight could make a mental connection with his past as a Surgeon, and apply that to the power that he already had, healing his arm. And the reason why I do not believe it was due to him being a Windrunner, is because while Szeth was not a true Windrunner (getting his power from the sword) he still had the capabilities, but could not heal.

I honestly do not like the new ending because Szeth-son-son Valano the entire book, was not really a bad guy. He was kind of forced into his position of Assassin. By being named Truthless, he was a prisoner of who ever held the Oath stone. So, think about being a guy with complete control over a person who has these awesome powers, and is pretty close to invincible. Now imagine being in that situation, and you need to rise in the world. What better way than to send a skilled Assassin to kill any competitors? The whole time (although limited) that Szeth's view was being explained, he had to deal with the screams of those he was forced to slaughter with an Honorblade. And the whole time, he was searching for a way out, a way to disappear, a way for the pain to stop. So, I think the old ending was better due to him purposely giving up the fight, and dying on his own terms, then fighting brutally until the end where he falls. Now, the main reason (besides that he tried to avoid unnecessary kills, I mean, he avoided killing Adolin twice when he could have easily) that I say that Szeth was never really a bad guy, is because when he dies, Nin, a justice Skybreaker, finds enough honor and honesty in Szeth to recruit Szeth (although he could never be a full Skybreaker) and says "Hello, would you like to kill some evil today?" So no, I do not like the new ending.
