  1. I don't think anyone mentioned it but Kaladin in chapter 31 uses windspren to deflect the storm which made me think of manifesting plate:
  2. First off, the oaths are not set in stone. They can and do vary from knight to knight within a given order. I base this statement on the oaths we have seen for Windrunners being different for each person. Given that I think it is a fair assessment to say that the Edgedancer oaths are around remembering and listening to those forgotten/ignored/etc. You already gave three great examples of how Adolin personifies these traits and there are more, the way he stood up for Kal after the lopsided fight in WoR is one that comes to mind. As for Stonewards we don't know terribly much so far. Adolin does not sacrific himself. He isn't the type to reconcile between opposing parties, on the contrary he is more of an instigator. I actually think the information you gathered helps argue for him becoming an Edgedancer over a Stoneward.
  3. Such a hard decision for me. Probably Dalinar right now. Adolin and Lift are close contenders as well as is Syl.
  4. There are ample examples in the books that different orders which share a surge have it behave differently for each order. The Truthwatchers first surge is progression and the Edgedancers second surge is progression. That alone explains why Renarin and Lift's regrowth are different.
  5. I loved the book, I thought it was much better written than Words despite having a less satisfying climax. In no particular order things I liked and disliked: Loved Maya, I think Adolin is fantastic with his sword. Loved seeing Vivenna, I'm assuming her sword was created similarly to Nightblood just less psycho? Loved Dalinars story arc. It broke my heart when he went back to drinking. Ehlokar is just a tragic figure, he wants to do better but just cannot. I hated Shallan in this book. Reading her chapters was just pure torture for me. I want more Jasnah, she is so much more interesting to me than Shallan. I am torn whether I feel sorry for Venli or not early and happy for her at the end or not. On one hand she brought the about but on the other she suffered quite a bit as well. I absolutely hated that Renarin lived. Ugh by far my least favorite Sanderson character ever and I was so hopeful that Jasnah would do the right thing and kill him...ARGH!
  6. You and I, my friend, have diametrically opposed views. I loved Mizzy and the bad puns were the absolute best thing about the books to me. I want more just for those!
  7. Absolutely, and I have enjoyed reading your theories in this forum. As I recall after Megan burned herself intentionally at the big fight at the tower, Prof's goons are about to shoot her and David and David mentions something to the effect of, with her power temporarily negated if she died it would be for good. So burning her alive is one way but negating her powers and killing her conventionally would be another.
  8. I love the thought that went into this post and I appreciate you sharing with us. However: I do think that it is a very large stretch to assume that the quirk of Steelheart's metal insulation extends to all transfersion type abilities so the rest of the theories here just read as not something I agree with.
  9. My interpretation about Tia is that she was still dead but Prof had momentarily forgotten: He grew pale because he had forgotten that she was dead. The quote about Mizzy was: From that I interpret that Knighthawk was just filling them in on the happenings in Ildithia (sp?) since they left.
  10. This is just from memory but as I recall in Firefight Regalia asked/suggested for water powers and Calamity said he would get something thematically appropriate. Obviously since he killed Steelheart, getting those powers fit that bill.
  11. The quote about Chicago dogs in Mitosis is pretty funny...despite the fact that Chicago dogs are disgusting and ketchup is required for any real hot dog.
