Aonar Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) During my reread of WoR today, I happened upon this little gem while Kal is in prison: (Ch. 62 "The One Who Killed Promises") He stood, waving away some strange spren like taught wires crossing before him... Sounds like Axies' incarcerationspren to me. I guess he's never seen them because he's never been imprisoned in the Alethi Warcamps. (Or maybe its because of the differences between how he and Kaladin Cognitively interpret imprisonment, but that's a theory for another day.) Are there any other neat references back to The Way of Kings that you've noticed? (Sorry if people have already noticed this, it didn't appear in any of the searches I did.)

Agafist Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Yeah, speaking of interlude appearances: “. . . changed even when he was in the other room,” Rushu mumbled, flipping to another page.“Repeatable and measurable. Only flamespren so far, but so many potential other applications . . .” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed that, except I thought they were called captivityspren? Either way, the level of detail in these books is just awesome and I literally laughed when I read that line. I also loved how the WoR interludes come together at the end - references to rioting that started in the Lahn interlude, Dalinar talking to the new king of Azir who I'm pretty sure must have been Gawx etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPilgrim Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Yeah, speaking of interlude appearances: I also liked that little reference to Geranid. I wish Navani had listened to Rushu; it would have been interesting to see that discussed. Alas, that will have to wait for later books.

I hope Lift sticks with him. If they come to Urithiru, that would be amazing! I really want Lift to join the other Radiants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejopen27 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I think Kal could see them when Axies could not because Axies was resolved to being in prison and new he'd be released soon so he took the time to think while Kal felt penned up and was worried he'd never get out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevalion Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 It did get brought up here:http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/6521-kaladin-the-collector/?hl=%2Bcaptivity+%2BsprenI thought the same as thejopen, these spren are cultivated emotions, and to see captivity spren, you have to truly feel trapped and desperate to manifest them, something Axies, who knows he can get out, isn't going to feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
