Preeeeettty sure it's gonna be about Invention and what they're up to. They're implied to have made Canticle the way it is for some reason and are implied to have been travelling around the Cosmere, literally using entire planets and stars as projects.3 likes

Little Life Update: Have officially started my cosmere reread in preparation of KoWaT. Finished era 1 of mistborn (spook was one of my favorites to read this time around) as well as alloy of law. Watched Damsel tonight, it's a new movie on Netflix. Would def recommend. Very well done and no nudity or anything like that (yay!) Finally started outlining a short film, the working title of which is Joy. More updates as I progress with that. Still looking for a new show to watch cuz I finished stranger things, so if you have any ideas hit me up. My brothers and I are starting a landscaping business, which has been very...interesting to say the least. I know I'm going to major in media arts, but I've been trying to decide if I should minor in acting (whatever the technical name for it is idk), or if I should just take acting classes because I also want to try acting out for funzies. Still have a little time to figure that all out though. Yeah that's about it. I love y'all and you're amazing! Also no point in counting in this one cuz the previous is still going lol2 likes

Rookie numbers. What's fun is when your library only gives e-loans for 14 days, which is not nearly enough time to read any fantasy novel. So you then have a rotation of three to four books you're halfway through listening 14 days worth at a time. Not to mention your ebook, physical book, and before sleeping book. I went on a road trip and have since reread Earth Unaware by Orson Scott Card and the Fires of Vengeance by Evan Winters, which are respectively a good book and a great sequel (that can never live up to the divinity of the first). I then started A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie. I'm not far in yet, but I very recently read Half a King, which was simply amazing. That, combined with the excellence of The First Law trilogy, leaves me very hopeful. On that road trip, I listened to part of WoR, but have since switched to Shadow's Edge by Brent Weeks. WoR is WoR, and Shadow's Edge is okay, but unimpressive. I'm hoping to get the next WoT book in when I make another trip next week, but we'll see. Depends what shows up from the library.2 likes

Under normal circumstances circumstances, yes. However Ruin meant to corrupt Spook and turn him into an Inquisitor - even the cloth covered glasses started to resemble an Inquisitors' eye spikes. Ruin was the one who provided the Intent, the placement of the donor getting stabbed, and the precise and valid placement in Spook's body to grant him the power. Ruin proceeded to use the foothold forcibly placed in Spook's soul to try to further subvert him and destroy Urteau by appearing as Kelsier. Ruin orchestrated it all.2 likes

I have been pondering the Grand Apparatus since it was dropped on our radar, and have begun to wonder whether it might have been constructed by Taravangian as an outgrowth of the Diagram. I haven't developed any definite thoughts on what purpose it would serve (or what the cosmere implications would be), if this turns out to be the case, but wondered if anyone else was thinking along the same lines and might have any additional thoughts to share.1 like

Yes, they can. If they are light enough the surface tension will hold them on the surface of the water. There are lizards that can run on water, insects that can stand on it, you can put a needle, paper clip or a razor on the surface - it's all about the surface tension which depends on mass. A Skimmer can stand or run on water, if they can reduce their mass that much (running is easier). It's not about displacement of water at all. The whole idea of the surface tension is that it holds the object despite its density - a razor blade can be held by the surface tension and it's much denser than water. A Skimmer can change his mass (but not density), so he can get so light that buoyancy won't matter anymore, only water's surface tension.1 like

The image Renarin made isn't a gold shadow or malatium shadow, so it's not like Vin seeing the happy Terrisman Rashek might have been. Renarin's projections (Lightweavings, properly?) show the best possible version of their subjects, probably mediated by Renarin's perceptions or ideas. That's what happened to Adolin in the paddock. So the image of Moash isn't what an alternate path through life might have made him but rather is the best version of him that could exist. I don't think that there is a point of no return in any mechanical sense (like as might relate to a Radiant bond). The whole concept of Radiance is of improvement, that it's never too late to be a better person than you were. The most important step a person can take is the next one. The problem with Moash isn't that he made the wrong choice at some key point in the flow of events on Roshar, it's that he keeps making the wrong choices in ways that indulge and reinforce the personal feelings that have broken him (or that he perceives that way, I guess). It's not even so much the wrong choices themselves. For example, had Kaladin's genuine perspective been different he might have been compelled to kill Elhokar. But his uncertainty about what the right thing to do was, and even more his struggle to examine his options and himself to figure out what was right, led him to commit to mutually exclusive, opposed tasks at the same time. He knew that at least one thing he was doing was a betrayal of his beliefs and oaths, which cost him dearly. But when he had reflected enough to understand what was right (from his perspective and congruent with his character) he became more Radiant than ever. Moash can't face what it would mean for the right choices to actually be right, in the sense that he obviously should choose them for moral/practical/whatever reasons, so he keeps making decisions that he can't really justify and guarantees that he cannot grow as a person in the way Radiance provides. It's telling that he needs Odium's constant, numbing influence while other bad people (like the Sadeases, Mr. and Mrs.) never did. Moash hasn't reached a point of no return and, until his own permanent death, never will. He chooses, every day, to be who and what he is. Vyre is a dead end, but not something that Moash cannot turn away from.1 like

I really dont think Moash's PoNR was killing Elhokar, I think it was killing Kaladin. In WoR, it wasnt just an assault, he caved in Kaladin's chest with the force-amplified strength of the Shardplate Kaladin had given him, and it would have been lethal if he hadnt managed to repair his Bond. It may have taken Kaladin longer to come around (not surprising given the nature of the Windrunner Oaths regarding those they Hate), but I think Moash's Choice to kill Kaladin was the point he internalized it in his own mind and soul, and the rest since has just been him dealing with (or running from) the fallout.1 like

Hello, and welcome to the Shard! Choosing favourites is really hard, but I must say that my favorite Sanderson books are the Stormlight Archive, and my favourite non-Sanderson books are the Lumatere Chronicles trilogy by Melina Marchetta.1 like
