Fake spoilers

I'm finding it hard to keep track of all of Shallan's personas. Which two teamed up to kill Taravangian? The Cryptic and the Chull farmer, right?

If I’m honest, I saw the Chouta stand infiltration from a mile away. The fact that the Fused were going to get into Urithiru by hiding in Chouta stands was pretty well foreshadowed in the previews.

I was not expecting the tax evasion plot line though, and the redemption of Leshwi and Lezian into happy Chouta salespeople.

Good subversion from Brandon, I think. What were y’all’s thoughts on that?

At first I was on board when the Fused starting building their own version of Urithiru. It really seemed to add to the theme of a parallel arms race. But Brandon really lost me when he named it Urithitwo. That part was just silly.

Well, it was foreshadowed in the Prologue to WoK because Taln was the second herald.

And when Hoid can't punch Kelsier back anymore.

Haven't you read the newest preview chapter? They aren't technically building a new Urithiru, they're transporting the original Urithiru, which was made by them, from the past to the present. They traveled to the time after the Radiants abandoned Urithiru and are transporting it (and the Sibling, in pieces) through time, leaving a fake one in its place. That's why the Sibling isn't active: time travel messes with spren a lot. After all, that's why Mayalaran got revived and bonded Adolin, becoming a Radiant (yes, Mayalaran became a Radiant, not Adolin) when they traveled to the Shattering to try to kill Odium's future/present Vessel.

Also, what about that scene where Kaladin finally finds Wit's flute back and brings Fused into melodic submission!

The Pied Piper of Hearthstone scene? Very nice.

I was moderately surprised when Taravangian became a Radiant, as I would think that his utilitarian morals interfere with his ability to swear the First Oath. However, my confusion was alleviated when it was revealed that Hoid had snuck along with the Shadesmar expedition to convince the inkspren into sending one of their number to Taravangian.

I would never have guessed Shallan's secret--she's really a Sleepless? No wonder she had so many personalities. She's made up of thousands of hordelings after all.

I am a bit surprised that Adolin didn't figure that out sooner though...

I know, its so hard now that there are thousands of personas to keep track of. I don't find it surprising that Adolin didn't notice (the sleepless can become VERY specialized after all) but I did think that it was interesting that she wouldn't even notice when two of her own hordelings went off and just shanked Taravangian like that! Especially right after he bonded that inkspren! And the fact that a portion of her hordelings got stuck in the past in "Urithirtwo" only makes me more worried about more personas emerging. 

Though I am rather fond of her new Chouta saleswoman persona. She gets along surprisingly well with Lezian and Leshwi! They make quite the family, now that Adolin divorced her and married Maya the radiant instead. (Which I was not a fan of, just FYI)

Brandon how can you do this? Rlain is secretly Spook reincarnated!

I love how we're spontaneously creating a unified crazy alternative-universe version of Rhythm of War.

Actually almost spit out my food laughing at this one, nice!

[Flying she/her]

I got teary-eyed when Kaladin decided he'd turn his life around and start working in the stables. His deep love and care for the horses was so heartwarming. 

[Friendshipspren he/him]

Man I loved it when adolin announced he was gay and shallan was supportive and told him that Radiant always thought there was a " strange vibe " between him and the Lopen. 

Also finally dalinar naming his son as the Highprince of Fashion after seeing that Spren are more likely to bond well dressed ppl

Well what else are we to do in the wait for RoW to release? We must theorise until we have made theories about our theories that prove the Shattering was a hoax and Adonalsium was just Hoid all along!

[TMC29ZX]

I was not expecting Dalinar changing the name of the coalition to the Rosharan Alliance Fighting Odium and the banner being a picture of a green cremling (er hoardling) weilding a shardblade and RAFO on a blue field. Just crazy.

[LuckyJim]

The scene where Moash accidentally proposed to Venli due to his unfamiliarity with singer customs was pretty funny, I wonder if anything's going to come of that or if it's just going to be a minor recurring gag.

That was epic! Especially since the the Thief and the Drunk personalities were secretly working for Tarvangian the whole time.

That was in the movie, where Dox was a girl.

*cough* female Kelsier *cough* I made this (also It's a coloring page so you can use it for coloring btw I don't care just give me @More Cynical Than Funny credit)

Actually, Dox is going to be female in the movie adaptation. I’m disappointed; I think Marsh would have been a more intriguing choice.

Nice picture!

[Knight of Iron she/they]

To be honest, it kind of surprised me when the Fused's ultimate plan all along was just to just topple the tower of Urithiru over. That scene was incredibly well written, however, though sadly their plot seemed to have killed tens of thousands.

[NameIess]

Yeah, the reveal that Shallan was a aimian was crazy, and all the personalities were getting on my nerves. I was honestly happy when it turned out that Nightblood would in fact kill an entire horde if it touched one hordeling. It was a bit stupid to test it that way though.

Oh. Oh no. Eating with a shardfork really didn’t go well.

On the other hand, great tool for assassination. RIP.

The best scene in the book must be that one time that Taln revealed the real reason for the recreance..... Ramen Noodles.
