I agree with Shardlet, rythmatists seem too proud for that. Plus, it's possible the strength of the chaklings has less to do with its inner objective beauty, and more with the projection of what the person drawing is having in his mind. Then copied chaklings would be useless.

It may be that the death rattles are a small side effect of getting a very bad vision when you die, totally spoiling your last minute of consciousness. After all, the fact that the vision is expressed loudly is not very useful for most people, except for Mr T. And about him, I won't say that for the moment, he did lots of good from it. Death rattle push him to get and kill hundreds of innocents...

You've got a point It's an ebook, but not one you can actually read.

You can check that kind of stuff on the Internet, thanks to Google books. It's not as convienient, but it my be useful to know for non-ebook readers

We know at least one character who passes the time by sneaking in breast-shaped castles in order to taste rich people food.

That's Kaladin's assumptions. About Dalinar, I suppose that as a Brightlord, he's used to make such declarations, and then have scripts doing the paperwork and thoughts to make it realistic. He certainly has the money to backup the freedom of those slaves.

Can the honorblade open the oathgate? If so, Dalinar may find it useful, even being stuck at Urithiru.

I think Szeth is a religious fanatic. He has abdicated his freedom of thought to the Shaman, letting them decide for him what is true or false, what is right or wrong, even if he doesn't feel the same way. The passage Hoser is referencing is: So yeah, him following the rules of his religion is a kind of cowardice. Even if it also ask for a lot of courage.

Can you "go" into Shadesmar? I mean, does the one going there (Jasnah or Shallan) really disappear during a moment from the actual world, or is this trip happening in her head only?

Moash was given his Shards (his Shards! the most incredible present ever made to a darkeyes!) by Kaladin, who saved also his life more than once. Thus, he rather killed Kaladin than think twice about his revenge and postpone it. He is, in my opinion, one of the darkest character in the book so far, if not the darkest. (I have less issues understanding Amaram or Sadeas.) My theory is that what will become of him has already been fortold:

Thanks!

Where could I read a good explanation about how does compounding work? Thanks!

I think that's the whole point. Those tests suppose you can predict any action result and estimate the humanity total hapiness just like that Well, I am no God, so a human morality is just fine for me, thank you very much... Maybe that just the point for Kaladin too, "what is right" is to protect a drunk man from assassins. He stop trying to guess the bigger figure (and that good, as by killing Elokhar, they would not have get Dalinar as new king), just try to find action is right in the present (what he can sleep with).

Kaladin has not known a lot of educated darkeyes...

From book 1, it doesn't have to: Of course, we only have Av's word about it, but I don't see why his tale about his father wouldn't be accurate.
