+Wax he/him Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Well I wasn’t too far off with the chapter pattern (later I had corrected that Jasnah had no viewpoints in Part 1, so it was going to be Kal + 2 Shallan chapters). Rest - not so much. Next up 1 flashback + 1 present day Dalinar+ part Adolin + 1 Kal I think I’ve gotten a feel for the pacing of the Book 1 and it is like starting WoK again. Flashback might be Navani’s intro. Dalinar chapter is just more dialogue with Navani (honeymoon anyone?) + admin. Kal breaks bread with the parshmen in his chapter. Maybe he shares Rock’s recipes.

My theories are:- Next 3 chapter releases would include two Shallan chapters and either a Kal or maybe a Jasnah one. There is a pattern Mr. T might have secured an honorblade (switched from the man called Taln). But we might not see it till chapter 16 onwards. Shallan's target is the library containing secrets and she starts seeing some symbolism and also a hint of ghostbloods. Like the oathgate, there maybe other things that only live sprenblades can open. There might even be more Renarin-Shallan interactions as they both are quite secretive.

Hischier Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Yeah, that sounds right (the POVs, I mean). I bet we get Dalinar preparing for Mr. T's entrance and continued musings about how to get other rulers on his side, with a little Renarin sprinkled in and the obligatory May Aladar reference/appearance. For the Adolin part, I hope we get some murder investigation started (and I really want Adolin to somehow runs into Veil during this process). Kaladin: I don't think he gets that far yet. They'll take him in as prisoner, and debate what to do with him, and Kaladin will try to figure out what's going on with them and what their plans are. Can spren see other spren that are hidden? Because that might complicate things. And we'll be left with a dramatic cliffhanger. We know what the next flashback is and Spoiler It does have Navani in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightspine Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I think Kal's slave brands will help him gain sympathy with the Parshmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+eveorjoy she/her Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 As much as I love Shallan and Adolin together, there are a lot of hints they might break up and Shallan will flirt with Kaladin. Kaladin and Shallan will not end up together either, because he killed her brother and has not admitted yet. I'm hoping after the break up and some time Shallan and Adolin will get back together. Kaladin isn't going to want to attack the freed parshmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unhinged he/him Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I think that Kaladin is going to tell the Parshmen that they have a choice, they can take their freedom and walk away, if that happens Kaladin will not only let them go but point them in the direction of some potential allies (he deduces that there must be some listener spies left in the war camps, or between him and Rlain they could have figured out that not every Listener was present during the climax of WOR) but he'll tell them that if they choose to continue down the path to becoming voidbringers and fighting humanity they will be his enemies and he will destroy them.

asterion137 he/him Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 So far the first 2 flashback chapters have been the first two from the Thrill, so I think the next two will be the other Thrill chapters, given their in-world time relation. We might get a Dalinar wedding sequence or something thrown in between though, since I'm not sure that's something Branderson would skip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I hope we get a bit more on Roshar World Politics, and some Adolin murder investigation. I would love to see Shallan sneak around as Veil too, but I think that is for the week after next. Am I the only one who would be okay with waiting one more week for Kaladin?
