  1. I agree. But especially since they are idealized versions and in world religious depictions, the naked safehand raises questions. Nevertheless, I love Chana's picture as a whole (even though I agree that her facial expression is quite generic) and the colors in Pailiah's are great. By the way.. What are those mini clouds with those flashes of lightning. Are those spren?
  2. I just went to the Kickstarter yesterday to check how to order the e-book. I am a total noob with respect to that and thought I am too stupid to buy a book . So thanks for giving the update.
  3. Thank you @Kingsdaughter613 for these insights. And thank you @DracostarA for the additional information. I hope Brandon Sanderson sticks to this and at the same time, I hope we get a valid explanation for Shallan's disorder as Brandon decided to do a more realistic representation of DID. For now, I trust he did his research well...
  4. Why are you so certain on that. There are a lot of different traumas or types of abuse that could cause DID, right? I am not very familiar with this condition, so I would like to know more about your reasoning. On the other hand, I really hope Brandon Sanderson does not go this way. I hate the female character was sexually abused story...
  5. I had issues when reading Edgedancer as well. Guess WoR Lift is not my favorite person. But I am happy to have finished it as it provides depth to Lift and to Nale as well. Though I wouldn't place it at the same level as Emperor's Soul and I will not reread it as often as the other Stormlight books, I encourage you to read on.
  6. This is great news! I'm very much looking forward to to August. Also, thank you for linking the reddit update. I somehow missed it...
  7. I was thinking about the same question. I don't think Pattern et al. would be that interested in chairs. I think Brandon confirmed that the flute is Hoid's. The one Kaladin lost in Sadeas' camp after the tower incident. And one more thing: Are we absolutely sure the nightwatcher is a bondsmith spren. I know, it's common "knowledge". But is there 100% confirmation either textwise or through Wob?
  8. And it’s the 33rd day of the year with 333 days to go. Yay . I think Vorins count the weeks as well as years, months and days. What year are we currently in? 1174? There are 5 days a week, 10 weeks a month and ten months a year. Well...
  9. Where do I find the information on the website? Seems I haven't visited for quite some time. New design... Hm.. (phew, I'm such a slave of habit )
  10. Yeah. And Brandon released the first two chapters in his newsletters. Guess those are the same as the above mentioned. I'm really looking forward to reading the whole thing
  11. Yes I did after some Sharders convinced me that I will enjoy it. And they were absolutely right!
  12. Is there any way to read those chapters online? For someone who didn't want to read Skyward in the first place, my Starsight hype is way too big
  13. I haven't found any WoB regarding Parsh Worldhoppers, but I'm not very good at digging up WoBs. But I found this one: I always thought that the 16 original Vessels were from Yolen. The WoB would support my assumption and implies that there have been no Parshendi on Yolen (the three races were humans, dragons, and Sho Del).
  14. "No, he'll never forgive me." I have to agree with @Karger and @aneonfoxtribute. I always read this line as Amaram speaking of himself in third person. But @Pathfinder might be up to something. It is at least strange that Amaram starts to refer to himself in third person. The tapping of the chest explains this only after Dalinar asks. At least Amaram seems to think he is irredeemable and that he, the Amaram who stands opposed to Dalinar right now, is somewhat distanced from him, the Amaram who he used to be. Oh Amaram... I wish we had a POV. Such an interesting villain. Where would you be, if Adolin hadn't killed Sadeas? That's actually a bit off topic. I will stop discussing Amaram's scene now. But speculating how the connection to Odium works is relevant in a possible Moash redemption arc.
  15. I like your reasoning. It is very much possible that Odium has a hold on Moash. Did Amaram really mean Odium when he said "he won't let me"? (I don't have my book with me to look up the scene). Might he have referred to the Unmade he swallowed? In general, I hope Moash has some free will left. I don't root for a redemption arc, but I think it should be possible for him to try this direction (though deciding against it and going fully team Odium is also fine for me).
  16. The Heralds should have some knowledge regarding the Unmade and Yelig-nar's effects. They would be crazy to swallow a gemstone and allow Yelig-nar in. Oh, wait...
  17. Oh yes, I did and upvoted you for it. Thanks for the lough! I hope though that this restriction is not necessary anymore, now that Shallan and Adolin are married
  18. So they may not have Patterns full experience, but are able to observe. Right.. I completely forgot about the observation part. And this may even be enough for a Cryptic. They seem to think in numbers anyway. Feelings and personal impressions should be less important for such rational beings...
  19. In this context, I am asking myself how the Spren communicate with each other. Is Pattern able to send information "home" to the other Cryptics in Shadesmar via some linkage? Or is he able to go back to the CR every now ("off-screen") and then to report? Otherwise he would die for nothing as he leaves the other Cryptics no wiser...
  20. Off-topic: @Winds Alight Your picture is great. I love that cat. Reminds me on our old family cat. My sister cares for him now and I don't get to see him much... On-topic: I don't care much for Rysn either. But I didn't care for Lift - until I read Edgedancer. So I am looking forward to all the novellas .
  21. Yeah! I don't want that for them to happen. But Maya would be close to him locationwise in the CR, right? Or how does it work with the deadeyes again? They have to be actively held in prison to not seek out their swordly remains? I mean deadeye Maya is close to Adolin (not like the other deadeye on the ship in Shadesmar) and would be transformed to a living Spren still close to him, but in the CR. They might find each other with Jasnah's help.
