I was almost a hundred percent sure that Laurel would be a jerk... Suprise Suprise...

Daniel Greene! He does amazing reviews on books like Stormlight, WoT, Dune, and more I think you guys will like his reviews if you like fantasy! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw--xPGVVxYzRsWyV1nFqgg

This may seam like a young series but I listen to Artemis Fowl and I find it super fun. Both Mistborn era 1 and 1.5 (if you haven't read them yet. LOTR (Lord of the Rings) If you havn't read it yet. Any of the Dune Trilogies are amazing! and there's tons more.

Uhm... Wow... I don't really see how you get that view Jordans "weak" books from 8-10 were weak for him but still AMAZING books! Book 11 which was the last book written by Jordan is my 3rd to favorite book behind WoK and book thirteen in WoT. Books 4-7 are absolute masterpieces and books 1-3 set up the masterpiece that is wheel of time. Sure some of the books are "weak" in comparison but there weakness actually ads to the series. Not every book can be amazing some HAVE to be set up books!

The thing about huge epic fantasy book series is that not every book can be a climax. In wheel of time we had to go through book like book 8, 9, 10 to make books 13 and 14 so good. What may seem like a character digression may just be a step in the plot we don't know yet. Rand's character in wheel of time seemed to digress in books 10,11,12 but that digression was the set up for his character arch. Also the thing that makes epic fantasy different from normal fantasy is its scale. You said that Oathbringer could have been 400 pages. But the thing is that my favorite part of Oathbringer are those other 733 pages. Those parts of the books that aren't "required" but set the book apart from any old book out there. (These all refer to your first few comments and main post)

This is very true. And I think a big part of this story is about people coming to reseal there system. Them WANTING to change it. So that the same thing doesn't repeat. I wouldn't say it was wasteful. And I also don't think that is the only reaeson for the Moash chapters. I think that we are going to see a lot more of him in future books. Also he has a very interesting and fun story line which really ads to the story of Stormlight. And even if something doesn't need to be in the book it can still be in there to make the book better.

I would say that true love involves loving someone despite and through there flaws. Don't love your husbands alchoholism. Love your husband through the problem and help him overcome. That is what Navani did with Dalinar!

I think when we look at the terms of Roshar choosing to use slavery is about to be one of their worst mistakes. Because there slaves are about to enslave them... Now thats what I call bad karma.

I am of the personal opinion that slavery happened. I don't support it and never will. But it did serve a purpose in accelerating society and I am personally grateful to have a heater. I think the fact that the parshmen were enslaved saved so many humans from being enslaved. (Though there were still human slaves.) I don't hold anything against the parshmen but if I had to choose between a human and a parhsmen as an alethi lord to to put into slavery I would pick a parshman just because that means not having a human slave.

I agree completly but bringing this back into what I was saying originally. The Government was corrupt. Not Elhokar. Elhokar could die a million times and it wouldn't change the government. It could possibly just make it more corrupt. And Parshmen to me were treated like being of lesser intelegence. No I don't think that it is moral or justified. But understandable? I would say it is understandable.

A parshmen was no different from a horse. They were animals that served a purpose. They had basic instincts and intelligence but nothing more. Humans didn't even know they WEREN'T animals. And every great nation was built on the back of slaves. Including America. Just because they started that way doesn't mean they can't change.

This is very true

Lets be honest here. Elhokar was NOT the government. He didn't have any control over his highprinces. He was born into king hood. Are you saying that Moash should have killed him because he had no control over a corrupt government?

What is the hint in Elantris?!?!?!?!?!
