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

Sketchbook page! Shallan’s own shardplate! Love the satchel at her side for the book and reeds, and whatever else she plans to keep in there. (Not sandwiches, probably, since she’s not Lift.) I do like how ornate it is, especially with that one armpit section that looks like a leaf. It is distinctly feminine in proportions without being overly feminized. 

The plan to add a cape for Adolin’s benefit is cute, and I’m glad she appreciates his sense of style. 

Two blades present in the drawing–I’m glad she took the time to draw those as well as the armor. Which one is Pattern and which is Testament? I’m presuming that Pattern is the narrower, plainer one on the left, with Testament having the swooping curlicues in the guard, but there’s no real reason to think that other than vague recollections of earlier books and trying to guess which ones apply to which blade. It’s made more difficult because all living blades can shapeshift freely, so there’s no guarantee that any particular scene involves the “default” form of a blade.

About the armor spren–Shallan is noticing that each spren must become more than one segment of armor, based on the numbers, but that each section requires multiple spren. It’s not a one-to-one correlation in either direction, but rather a sort of amalgamation. I don’t care too much about those rules, so I’ll wait to see what she or the other characters come up with in their discovery rather than speculating overmuch.
