IndigoAjah Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 This topic is inspired by the best scenes topic. One of my favourite scenes is Kaladin coming in to help Adolin at the arena, but every time I read it I long for a scene from the PoV of those watching Kaladin, a Darkeyes with only a spear, jump in and the two hold off and beat 4 Shardbearers. Another scene I'd love would be one from Adolin's PoV whilst Kaladin is in prison, putting together that Kaladin's claim against Amaram was true, and deciding to give him Full Shards. What are yours? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahamfactor Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 This is kind of a minor thing, but I wish we knew what Kaladin was really thinking when Spoiler he runs home at the end of WoR. There's just no way his stated explanation is complete. Why then? Was he afraid of Dalinar, Shallan, or Elokar piecing together what had really happened? Why was he suddenly racing to Spoiler go back to his parents after all these years of ignoring them. Would be great to have had a PoV explaining his thoughts. The Oathbringer reading from 2014 didn't really get into this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormblessDave Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Sadeas' pov when Adolin began to kill him. A Tien pov at any point in his life, i'd love to see the world from his perspective. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oathbringer reading from 2014 didn't really get into this. He rushed home because he realized the everstorm was heading towards them and would be deadly, he rushed home to warn and save them. He ignored them because of shame, nothing else, he still loved his parents(atleast there's nothing indicating otherwise) when he realized they were in danger he rushed home to save them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowmancer Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 You know, I wish I had a few more scenes from Jasnah's POV. I mean, we're pretty sure to get some come Oathbringer, but still, those would be nice. Also, I'd like to know a bit more about what's happening in the capitol with the queen and all.

geralt Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 One scene that I would have loved to read is a chapter from Adolin's point of view after the bridge had fallen and Shallan had supposedly died. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I would have liked Amarams POV when Kaladin denounced him in the arena, as well as when he killed Kaladins squad. Elhokar during the duel, as well as when he asks Kaladin for help, and during Gavilars assassination. I would not be opposed to a random Mraize POV either.

Erandeni Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'd like a Lirin POV when he robbed the spheres, or when he finds out that Kaladin wanted to be soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't thought of it. Here are mine: 1) Adolin in the aftermath of the 4 on 1 duel, how he decided to put himself into prison. Who was shouting? Was it Dalinar? What did he have to say about Adolin's decision? 2) Jakamav's POV at any time before and after the 4 on 1 duel because I want to know which despicable individual I am dealing with. 3) Adolin's POV after Shallan fell into the chasm. This was a serious miss from Brandon to not have included it. I can't even rationalize why it wasn't in there. We should have been able to read what happens on the top, the fight, the aftermath, Adolin. One of the reason I hated the chasm scenes so much is they focused on Kaladin/Shallan while completely forgetting the rest of the cast. It lacks 2 or 3 good chapters, IMHO. 4) Adolin's POV during anyone one of his dates with Shallan. We only get hers, I wanted to read his as well. I think that's all I can think of for now. We'll see if more comes to mind. Edited August 15, 2017 by maxal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was drunk enough that Kaladin pretty much had to carry him. Even if he was awake enough to observe, I doubt he was coherent enough for anything to make sense. He probably doesn't even remember the attempt after the fact. I'm with @maxal on this one. Edit: Rlain would be interesting. How does Dullform spying work with how hard it is for them to think?

On the other hand, it could be a good writing exercice for bradon to write a man in an altered state of consciousness. In order to add realism, brandon would get mightily drunk himself (there must be some loophole into the mormon code; after all, he would be doing it for science) while writing the scene (EDIT: put an emoticon to clarify that I wasn't serious) Edited August 16, 2017 by king of nowhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This being said, Brandon did drop, a while ago, on Reddit, someone would end up within possession of distilled horneater beer... Now, this is what I call an opportunity So who should drink the stuff in order to give Brandon an excuse to write a drunk character who hasn't passed out yet?

FollowYourMuse Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I agree Rlain would be great, actually i would like any of Bridge four POV during the bridge runs or the final battle, but Rlain during any of them would be really good. Ehlokar (What did he think when he wakes up from drunken injured stupor, and findshe is hiding out with the Herdazians?) Venli - What did she know when she gave Eshonai that storm spren? Thude as he escapes with the Parshendi through the chasm. Navani POV at anytime especially flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Sanderson has confirmed that each prologue is going to be a different character's POV from that night when Gavilar was assassinated all those years ago, I wouldn't be too surprised if we don't get one from Elhokar's. What must he have felt, the mantle of the kingdom falling upon him? Did he mourn his father's death? What are the "twisted, inhuman shapes" he sees? I really hope we get some of his POV soon!
