Wouldn't be particularly smart, but who cares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 9:30 am here and I again had less than six hours of sleep because I insisted on reading part five in one go. I mean, how could I possibly have stopped? I will try to summarize my thoughts: - The Receance happened because of WHAT - HUMANS ARE THE REAL VOIDBRINGERS? - I really, really should have thought of that. I mean. Dawnsingers. Humans very apparently do not really fit into Roshar's biology. Shinovar. HORSES AND "CHICKEN". - Taravangian NO - LEAVE ADOLIN ALONE (I was really, really worried for a time here) - Kaladin being saved instead of saving everyone else: BLISS - Ten spears go to battle, and nine shatter - TEFT - I might be gay for Jasnah Kholin (I'm always gay, but for her, I'm extra gay) - ROCK PULLING THE SHARDBOW - Shallan calling Adolin and DALINAR "boys" - Renarin is autistic, right? I'm pretty sure he is. Also, he is a precious and he needs to be protected - Adolin and Maya are so, so sweet - Dalinar and Lift are a gift from the heavens - So are Lift, Szeth and Nightblood - Lift needs more time - The fact that Chiri-Chiri can drink the Fused's Voidlight is going to be important I bet - DID SZETH JUST CHANGE SIDES WHAT I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS - YES Dalinar, Taravangian DID team up with the enemy. So maybe you should just throw him off the tower in Urithiru - Moash, don't be He Who Quiets, be HE WHO IS QUIETENED (by being killed) - Did Wit just bond a Cryptic? - Dalinar may be the biggest badass in the world ("Yeah, Imma walk into battle with a book!") - WAIT IS ZAHEL VASHER? I CAN'T REALLY REMEMBER WARBREAKER I'LL HAVE TO REREAD IT NEXT - How am I supposed to survive until book 4 comes out? - Drehy and Skar are my heroes - Lopen casually recruiting for Bridge Four while even more casually swearing the Second Ideal - I'm preeetty sure by now that "unite them" doesn't only mean "unite all humans" but "unite humans and listeners" So. I'm a mess right now. Or rather, I feel like a little nascend Radiant, having overdone it with Stormlight before speaking at least the Second Ideal and being utterly exhausted.

sonoskay Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Elhokar in oathbringer is the character i relate to most. This scene made me very sad too. And i figure there are a couple ways to look at it. He ultimately succeeded. He became the man he was supposed to but the world is a curel place and is simply unjust. He ultimately failed. His best wasnt enough, and he was never fit to be anything more. You can attempt to detach yourself from the moment and and consiser that elhokar finished his character arc and sanderson wanted some delicious tragedy in this book. I really dont think he lives. But there is somthing to consider. We dont know what spren he was bonding with. And we dont know all the powers each knight order has. So its possible he survived, or will return in some way. But i think i have a theory about what spren he almost bonded with. And i think the cryptic hoid found in the city may be related to elhokar.

(as Dalinar opens the portal) is arguable my favourite. It makes me smile every time I think about it ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Questioner[PENDING REVIEW] The spren that Hoid picks up, is that the one meant for Elhokar? Brandon Sanderson[PENDING REVIEW] It is, yep. source 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After three nights of 5-6 hours of sleep I had real trouble concentrating on work today and even cancelled my Japanese lesson this evening. G'night y'all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Sanderson confirmed that Renarin is on the spectrum. I love this scene in chapter 120 btw.: Quote Renarin did his best not to squirm. It wasn’t the first hug he’d endured from Rock. But … storms. You weren’t supposed to just grab someone like that. “Why?” Renarin said after the embrace. “You looked like person who needed hug.” “I assure you, I never look like that. Zahel is Vasher. And I agree with all the other things you wrote as well. Thanks again for sharing this roller-coaster ride 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scene with Rock you quoted was so heartwarming and sweet. <3 When book 4 comes out, I will be on "life" with everyone else and not lag behind a whole year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
