  1. Despite living in the UK,I had to preorder from amazon.de because I couldn't get a hold of the US Hardcover on the UK website. Received an email today saying that the book has been shipped and should be with me before the end of the month. However, I can only read it once the ebook comes out since I am at university and the book is being delivered to my home address, this is torture :'(
  2. Yeah, I don't think I want Hoid to turn into a dual blade wielding badass. I want him to remain in the background, furthering his own agenda, be a puppetmaster I'd think he would be a step up from any mortal from the Sharworlds, seeing as he has been around for a long long time and has access to magic from all over the world.
  3. Nah glad its the 11th, I don't want to read too much before the book itself is out. The problem is, if it is out there, I can't stop myself from reading it
  4. Szeth won't stay dead, even if he does die in some manner in book 2. Dalinar, Shallan and Kaladin are safe as well I'd say as far as book 2 goes.
  5. Voidspren or Honourspren ? It seems like they are grooming Szeth to be Odium's champion and since Taravangian seems to be fully aware of how dangerous Szeth is, I don't see him giving up the power anytime soon. So Taravangian could be another of Odium's pawns. His genius is obviously a byproduct of the blessing given him by Nightwatcher/Cultivation but there does not necessarily have to be a spren involved in that power, so yes, him being bonded to a spren is a definite possibility but he does not necessarily have to be aware of it yet.
  6. 30 Blades between 9 highprinces is an average greater than 3. Doesn't Dalinar's camp only have 2 shardbearers ? I know some shard weapons won by Dalinar was given to the King but still it seems unlikely that the other camps would have 30 Shardbearers. Only way this works is I suppose if most of these are partial Shardbearers, ie, only Plate or Blade..
  7. Common theory and hopefully it is a by product of saying the fifth ideal. Might also explain how the humans betrayed the spren, abandoning the shard weapons and armor somehow harmed or killed the spren linked to their Nahel bonds.
  8. I think it was Shen as well but it might be a warning. I think Shen is changing but Kaladin's influence is probably rubbing off on him and he probably communicated the only way he knows how. I think the message is mend to be a warning to allow them to prepare and Odium might be blind to anything written on Stone.
  9. I suppose, but then again he was sent to kill Dalinar, and a sleeping target with no defenders would be a much easier kill. Taravangian intends to lead, so it would go against his intentions to actually warn Dalinar in some form.
  10. He mentioned some of the characters from the first half will be around but won't be the main characters, so unless the characters are the immortals or somehow gain immortality, I think it won't be similar to Mistborn, where they skip 100's of years. I'd think he skips through 10-20 years.
  11. I think at the end of the 62 days, we finally get to see a Voidbringer and why they are dangerous enough to make 60 foot Thunderclasts seem easy kills. As to who wrote it, I don't think its Szeth since he is still on his way to the shattered plains. It might end up being one of the bridgemen, Shen ?
  12. I think you are onto something here. I think further that Odium would be allowed free reign only when all 10 heralds quit, by breaking the oathpact, I think the 9 heralds became susceptible to Odium's influence. Odium is still somewhat limited since Taln remains and this might be the reason he could let them choose a champion. And leading on from this, I believe that the heralds(other than Taln) could end up as one of the big bads or atleast the agents of Odium. The prologue suggests they are getting worse, and the reason for these effects are probably linked to Gavilar triggering a desolation. Szeth is being groomed to be Odium's champion and he seems to hate himself plenty already. Chances are book 5 will end with the confrontation between Kaladin and Szeth, which Kaladin wins presumably. But the problem of Odium will still remain and he will probably only be shattered or reformed/fused with Honor(Wit's part in this series?) in Book 10.
