The Splintercast Reads Words of Radiance, Episode 18: Chapters 62-64


It's Splintercast Wednesday! On today's episode, Kaladin mopes (surprise!), and we meet a Herald. (Or, as Brandon puts it, "a man who thinks he's Taln," whatever that means. Mraize is in it, so you can imagine Alyx's reaction. Prepare yourself for this Splintery goodness.

Very true that Brandon does an unusually good job of keeping a character interesting through more than one chapter of them being statically locked up in prison.

 

But this comment makes me wonder, have you read Mordant's Need by Stephen Donaldson?  If not you should, firstly because it's a great couple of books (I so want to hear a Splintercast reaction to King Joyce in book 2!) but also because of how many key scenes and important character developments happen while one person or another is behind bars.  Very impressive writerly display of using imprisonment as a metaphor for shifting power dynamics and internal psychological states.

Actually, Brandon's award winning Novella, "The Emperior's Soul", has the protagonist imprisoned in one room for the majority of the story.

A giant glowing glyph appears in the air as Feather speaks the First Ideal of the Order of the Traveling Splintercasters:  "I will keep up on these edits, even amidst travelling"...
