shawnhargreaves he/him Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I have glowing that needs to be done. 1
Aleksiel Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 “Why hasn't anyone killed him yet?”“Dumb luck,” Wit said. “In that I’m lucky you’re all so dumb.” Gotta love Wit. “What are you doing here, bridgeboy?” Adolin hissed from within his helmet.“Playing one of the ten fools.” Adolin grunted. “Welcome to the party.” The beginning of a beautiful bromance! And it keeps getting better: “Kaladin frowned. “Wait. Are you wearing cologne? In prison?”“Well, there was no need to be barbaric, just because I was incarcerated.” “Storms, you’re spoiled,” Kaladin said, smiling. “I’m refined, you insolent farmer,” Adolin said. Then he grinned. “Besides, I’ll have you know that I had to use cold water for my baths while here.” “Poor boy.” 3
kari-no-sugata Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I was dying of laughter all throughout this scene. The other hilarious part was Adolin's inability to believe that Shallan hugged Wit... It took me a few minutes to recover after reading it for the first time My basic reaction was "OMG! Hoid got glomped!" The thing that got me on re-reading is that it's from Kaladin's point of view and he's practically expecting Shallan to be an assassin - when she "lunges" at Wit he goes for his boot knife (to defend Wit!?)
ChocolateRob he/him Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Well they all seem to be covered so far but I will admit to a certain dark pleasure in the half line - 'as Adolin worked it to be certain'.
Guest Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I was dying of laughter all throughout this scene. The other hilarious part was Adolin's inability to believe that Shallan hugged Wit... I think he compares it to hugging a whitespine.... LOL. My absolute favorite line was when Adolin admits out loud having soiled his shardplates three times on purpose... Hours later, I was still laughing. I so wish we had seen the bridgemen "on guard" reaction to that one.
Delightful Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Well they all seem to be covered so far but I will admit to a certain dark pleasure in the half line - 'as Adolin worked it to be certain'. I believed I visibly flinched at that. That entire scene was horrifying to me. 1
Asejet he/him Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 "I will unite instead of divide Stormfather I will do what needed to be done." Somewhere thunder boomed.
Tetriona she/her Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 "Try not to flirt with the girl," Wit whispered. "Young Adolin seems to be growing possessive. Or...what am I saying? Flirt with the girl, Kaladin. It might make the prince's eyes bulge." Kaladin snorted. "She's lighteyed." "So?" Wit asked. "You people are too fixated on that." "No offense," Kaladin whispered, "but I'd sooner flirt with a chasmfiend." I love Wit!

Aizhen Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 And so I die. -Dalinar Not my favorite line for laughing, but it got the biggest reaction out of me in the series. As an audible listener, I literally shouted "What?! No way..." and had to take out my iPhone and make sure there was still a couple hours left in the book. I left my poor husband to put the kids to bed and literally went outside and walked around for over an hour as the battle played out. Which ended so well with Sadeas standing in the middle of the Justice character. 2
DreamEternal Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) "I am sorry that you have to die this way." - The entire discussion between Dalinar and the Stormfather before the Everstorm was probaly the most dramatic moment in the series, with hopelessnes both above and below as the world is about to end. Also, on book one "You were right, Father, you can't stop a storm by blowing harder, you can't save men by killing others. We should all become surgeons. Every last one of us."

Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Has he started wetting himself in public yet? Completely fascinated by you- Kaladin to Adolin
LegendMKII Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 "Dalinar ran the entire way" God that line got to me so much. True Glory is almost my favourite chapter due to this interaction. 3
Jit he/him Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 “The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.” ― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings And “Expectations were like fine pottery.

TheOnceAndFutureQueen she/her Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 First, they ever popular "Honor is dead...But I'll see what I can do." I kid you not, this line gave me chills!Also, anything and everything hoid/wit says Kaladin: "Why are you here?" Wit: "Why am I here? Why are any of us here? That's a rather deep questin for a first meeting young bridgeman. I generally prefer introductions before theology. Lunch too, if it can be found. Perhaps a nice nap." 1
The Honor Spren she/her Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 "He lied to protect me" "I know." "That secret destroyed him. It destroyed our entire family." "I know." "I hate you," she whispered, staring into her mother's dead eyes. "I know." Pattern buzzed softly. "Eventually you will kill me, and you will have your revenge." "I don't want revenge. I want my family." Shallan wrapped her arms around herself and buried her head in them, weeping as the illusion bled white smoke, then vanished, leaving her in an empty room. So maybe this one isn't happy funtimes, but the feels it gives are incredible. 2
