Sorry, I was unclear!...I was trying to think of any situation where I would be alright with what Harmony did. Causing hurt for a purpose. And since that's not what's happening, I am at a loss.

I have been reeling since I finished SoS. This amount of upheaval and change, the way the lighthearted WaW world turned so bleak, to the point where were not sure how much we can trust even Harmony (who I loved and thought was beyond reproach)...it's almost too much despair. I hated what happened with Wayne in chapter 5, but I hate more how much pain Wax is suffering at the end. And senselessly. Was it just to keep the balance between Preservation and Ruin? No, that's not okay. I AM NOT OKAY. To be betrayed by man is expected. But betrayed by your god? And the way that it was done?? That HURTS, Sanderson. If I can stop being raw and visceral, I start to wonder why Harmony is so blind to the threat (not ignorant, but unable to see it). How limited is Harmony? How much can he observe — everything that happens on Scadrial? He needs the spikes only to communicate (listen/speak) and to control the kandra, not to observe what people are doing. So why is this third shard, and the unknown metal, able to hide so effectively? Does Harmony have a lot less power and influence than we thought? Or is he simply not telling how much he knows?

I am foolishly holding out hope that Harmony is trying to get Wax to Snap. Because I'm in denial, and all the other options are too painful.
