This is my reaction blog for Winds and Truth. Beware of spoilers! Index post here. 

Looks like we’re getting Kaladin and Shallan to start with. Not gonna lie, I’m more excited for seeing Navani in Kaladin’s sections than for the man himself. On the other hand, I am stoked to find out what’s going on with Shallan’s mental balance and with Maya.

Shallan’s Sketchbook Part I
And we get art right away! This feels less detailed than usual. A more hurried sketch? Or an effect of her merger with Veil? Probably just the first, but I’m madly speculating over here.
It’s a madra. Mandra? Not sure I recall the correct spelling. It’s bound to come up. 
Such a weird physiology for this creature. Spren don’t have to follow the usual rules us physical beings do, of course. It’s nice to have an excuse for something truly fantastical. 
Very fun that the mandra is posing for Shallan to draw it.

I don’t know what the perfect moment is. Maybe just the artful pose of the two creatures? Not likely. It’s more to be something between her and Adolin.

That grumpy face in the bottom is almost certainly an honorspren from Lasting Integrity, but I couldn’t give them a name. Maybe they’ll get a mention once we get to Shallan’s perspective. That won’t be for at least a chapter though, since the icon of Chapter 1 looks to be Kaladin.
 

This is a short entry with not much to analyze about the art, but I'll go ahead and post it separately so that the art can keep its own sections.
