I cannot see her supporting a battle against Singers taking over kingdoms. 4 hours ago, Ciridae said: I agree, I dont want her to fully join team Honor and hang out in Urithiru, she should be doing her own thing, giving the singers a third option. I’m also afraid that the singers will come too short in this book, it’s their book and well get lots of listener stuff in the flashbacks, but there are so many characters and so many plotlines to follow that I’m afraid Venlis arc might get a little lost. Like Kal is due for his fourth oath and that will be so big. I’m so excited for all those other plotlines too but I really want Venli to shine and have her awesome moments too. I have high hopes for Rlain povs as well. This is so true. This had been plaguing me for so long. I panicked so hard when I learned that Eshonai's PoV flashbacks would be switched with Venli's for the Realmatic stuff. Was so happy with the announcement that we'll get flashbacks from both of them I'm still low-key anxious about how the other side is going to be presented, not gonna lie. Venli and Moash have not been received well, especially the latter who has become a meme. Venli though has been much better received post-OB but still...

+Oltux72 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 What more to fear too much plot armor. This is a global war. Bridge 4 has to take casualties sentimentalties in times of a desperate war. That means revival of deadeyes. secret societies being unexplicably successful at keeping themselves secret against warned counterintelligence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, but I personally would not be in favour. Perhaps the fact that Adolin isn't necessarily my favourite character affects this, but I feel like Adolin as an Edgedancer would feel too contrived. I'm also not super thrilled with the idea of resurrecting Maya; I suppose it just feels rather predictable. Of course, I'd love to see some good Adolin development. One of my favorite moments with him was when he mentioned how he feels out of place now, overshadowed by all of the Radiants. I thought that was fascinating, but it's hard to dig deeper if he suddenly gains those powers, and returns to his status as one of the most important people in the room. I don't wish him ill, but I think that handwaving Maya's death and pushing him back into the spotlight would be a waste of an interesting opportunity for growth. Plus, he provides a refreshing perspective as one of the only non-Radiant major characters. It just doesn't feel like something Sanderson would do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would make a great Edgedancer and the problems of humanity are big enough and they can use someone like Adolin on their team as a radiant!! plus I really want to see maya revived and I think it cannot happen without the two forming some type of bond. I think Adolin like his brother would be a different type of radiant. And I can not wait to read about it 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is too well trained and is already the best at dueling, if he becomes an Edgedancer, he will be very difficult to kill. Certainly would not lose a match to Vyre!

+Bliev Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hmm. I guess I don't have many "fears"? Except maybe what was stated above about Hoid making progress on his truths off screen... I think much of the above could be done either well or poorly, depending on how the plot unfolds, and I tend to think that Brando does these things well most of the time, even if it's not how my head canon would have constructed it. Adolin as Edgedancer with healed Maya? Sure. Adolin as a pseudo Edgedancer with zombie Maya? Ok! Adolin as non-Radiant? That works! I think they can all work if all the pieces around them fit too. I suppose it's my natural optimism, but I don't really have many fears about book 4. I'm just psyched about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathfinder Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 I fear Brandon changing his vision. I got into Brandon's books because of his interesting worldbuilding, magic systems, and characters. I have very much enjoyed Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, and Oathbringer. I hope Brandon keeps to his passion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Brandon keeps to his passion. I feel you. Of the last four releases Brandon's done (Legion 3, the MTG novella, Skyward, and Starsight) I only truly loved one of them. And part of that worries me. Granted, just because we're super fans doesn't mean we have to like everything Brandon makes. But the declining ratio of "loves" to "it's alright" worries me a tad. That being said, my opinions might change on repeat visits...at least for Starsight. I need to finish the MTG novella as well; but I don't plan on revisiting Legion anytime soon, unless a show is made from the material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapata Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Has anyone considered the idea that Kaladin might swear the Fourth Ideal after Teft does? Because I fear that a bit, although it is an interesting idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it would work like Lopen tried to do, by purposely not swearing the Ideal until a "cool" moment comes, but with more people, or just, as we get more Radiants, more might end up swearing during the ending battle because of the number of them?

Bookish Ocelot Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 That the art won't have as many easter eggs/hidden details. Those are so fun to look at and find long after the release and then speculate about them. That the flashbacks will be pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciridae Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 I worry a little that we wont get another big code or riddle to crack, like the series of numbers from the Diagram.

Toaster Retribution Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 The deaths of Mraize or Nale. Brandon whacked Amaram and Graves last time so I would be glad if he should choose to leave my other two fave villains alive. Kaladin saving everyone at the end. WoK and WoR gave me my fill of ”Kaladin saves the day endings”. No Vivenna would be a shame. Put this along with no Chana, no Ishar and no sane Taln. Every major/important good guy making it out alive. I like when stories kills someone off and it affects you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
