I know! The strangest part is that this was actually some subtle foreshadowiing for SA5, where they all get eaten by Nightblood and discover a parallel dimension inside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesser spren Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I'm surprised Shallan was actually a singer the whole time, Veil and Radiant? just two spren in her gem heart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddie The Survivor Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Do you guys remember the part where Kaladin world hopped and found Earth? Man when he saw a dog I was laughing my head off. Edited March 1, 2021 by HaileyTheMistborn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually rolled my eyes when reading that part, it seemed like such a lazy and blatant Dragnipur rip off from Brandon, even down to the echoes of chains rattling that made no sense here and was never explained... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Bystander Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I was so surprised by that ending. I mean, the fact that Hoid was Adonalsium all along and hadn't died was not what I had expected. And then when he un-shattered the shards. I was so confused. I thought that there would be no point to the next book, until that part where Kelsier worldhopped and punched Hoid in the face. I didn't expect that to be what re-shattered Adonalsium. And the part where Kelsier became the shard of Blatant Thievery was probably my favorite part of the entire book. I don't know how Brandon does it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinkoln Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 The fact that Kelsier gained that Shard after riding Frost to pick up Stick, then swallowing Stick at if it were a metal. Pure genius. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how many Shards has Kelsier held and given up at this point? It’s getting really hard to keep track... I’m glad Brandon finally canonized that he’s doing it for the challenge, not the power. Because those debates were getting tedious. ”Gotta hold the all!” though? Really? I would have preferred a more subtle Pokémon reference...

And now we know that he's trying to become Adonalsium, just so that he can say that he did it. I think book 5 is going to be very strange... I also really liked the part where Nightblood became a Skybreaker after bonding that Highspren. What was its name again? Bill? That was it, right? I still can't believe that he was able to swear all the oaths at one time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made it very clear that he doesn’t want to be god, because it’s “a really dull job and the perks aren’t worth the hassle.” And we found out after Hoid became Adonalsium that you can’t put it down like a regular Shard. That’s when Kelsier punched him. And, yeah. Crazy about Nightblood. Especially the par where Hoid-as-Adonalsium changed him into a real kid, but one who still eats Investiture! Like a human-shaped Larkin. It was really sad when he went to Warbreaker and asked, “Where’s mommy, daddy?” Poor little sword-boy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just really glad that Kelsier figured out how to worldhop. Who knew that you have to do the worm in the perpendicularity to worldhop when you are that invested. And I'm so glad Nightblood has Bill now. If he didn't, I don't know how he would hande being human. And that part with Vasher was really sad. I liked that one part when he started correcting Dalinar. The quote, if I remember correctly, is "But it's not a chicken. It's a bird." That was really funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those times we joked about him being Nightblood’s parent... and it turns out he doesn’t have the FIRST CLUE about parenting.

If it wasn't for her, I don't think things would have turned out as well as they did. Although, Lift was the one who showed Nightblood how to turn food into investure. Without that, Nightblood would have starved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesser spren Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I honestly loved the foreshadowing for when Allomancer Jak appeared on Nalthis.

Lesser spren Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I did not expect to see Lokkall in Stormlight 5. Seven years with the ghostbloods and he proceeds to leave it all just to get the entire tower drunk. Personally I think the tipping piont was when he figured out how to get Spren intoxicated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddie The Survivor Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 One part that I thought was crazy was when Shallan killed Adolin just to be with Kaladin. I really did think that Shallan and Adolin were ment to be. I suppose not. Oh ya isn’t Shallan on her tenth truth? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
