physicskid he/him Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) There was a poll a few weeks ago about who the next book should follow flashback wise. I think that Eshonais future importance to the plot will justify giving her the flashback sequences. These reasons are: 1) The very fact that she is going to have a flashback sequence at any point implies that she is a candidate for radianthood. one of the major reasons for this is bran dons use to date of flashback sequences as explanation for how a viewpoint character was broken. 2) Eshonai is being followed by a comet like spren. 3) I don't think for a moment that Eshonai died falling into the chasms. 4) Several of the listener songs included as epigraphs reference prophecies implying that parshendi will eventually become radiants. Bear the world on his arms anyone? Any thoughts/ opinions on who should get the spotlight in the next book?

Left he/him Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Personally I found Eshonai incredibly boring, while Aboslutely Loving Rlain. I'm going to be very happy if Szeth remains the guy for book three because of Nightblood and the Stone Shamaanite. While Eshonai could become a Radiant, I think it would be much more interesting if she became a voidbinder so that we could see more Odium stuff. Long term, Eshonai could be a very cool evil world hopper. Very random ramblings on my part, apologies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird he/him Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Have you by any chance read Warbreaker? Because if you have seen Nightblood in action it is more likely you would want to see the Szeth and Nightblood viewpoints.

physicskid he/him Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think were going to see the real time viewpoints regardless of who gets the flashbacks. i want to see Eshonais flashbacks because she would answer a lot of questions about how the war started. granted Szeth could answer some of those too but Eshonais viewpoint is likely to be critical 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 It does appear right now that the groups most connected to the truth are the stone shamans, Heralds, and Listeners. Heralds are out of the question, so Szeth and Eshonai will probably be the most enlightening flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
