Yes, it does ... you just want Shallan for yourself, admit. See? HA!

Just got mine! Germany, 0:05 See you later, have fun

*mindboggled* :-)

Nobody said living in the 17thshard was easy ... ;-)

I was making fun of my overhyped state ... I really misunderstood at first; my brain struggled desperately to make sense of it ...

That is the overhyped part: Listeners are ...

When you are overhyped re-reading Amazon blurbs for Oathbringer, you might get totally confused ... e.g., reading the above: Why are Parshendi settling in "Intertwined Plotlines"? And where for heavens sake is this??

Yepp! I for my part dont feel any guilt towards the Parshmen. They even live in a fictional world... (sorry, couldn't resist *blush*)

But wasn't the whole Adolin/Shallan liaison Jasnah's idea? She will see the whole flirting as necessary preliminary to getting Shallan a safe position in the Alethkar court.

*comfort* The only way to deal with it --and thats the solution I pick for me, as I wont be able to read as much as fast as I wish due to work and family etc-- is to consider yourself in either a Bendalloy or a Cadmium bubble. No matter what: Inside of the bubble only your own time counts, no need to worry about anything outside. I hope this gives me the calm I need to really enjoy OB. To achive this it is absolutely crucial NOT TO COME BACK TO 17THSSHARD UNTIL YOU FINISHED THE BOOK. There is absolutely no WoB about what happens, when you visit the forums out of one of the bubbles; it might just destroy the cosmere. *SIGH*

Not for me, I will stick to normal speed. Only started audio with Arcanum Unbound's Dalinar chapters, though. I was absolutely thrilled by Michael Kramers reading, savouring this is one reason to stay at normal :-)

It was a fart joke in a forum of loads of non-native speakers, who might not have picked up the joke until a bit later; but then it hit them ... like e.g. me :-D Funny and emotional postings seem to pick up more upvotes recently than analytical ones, too.

It will just be the usual suspects, i.e. Dalinars "council" :-)

@Entyti, @JoyBlu, you two sure put some color in this forum :-D

Of course that is not THAT unlikely :-/

But of course not a too surprising reaction in the light of Shallans most recent ("hours ago") exploits. Dalinar will already have met him and had his report. Yeah :-) Imagine the whole book released as serial ...

Had to chuckle here; slow compared to what? We learned and saw much more than in any other Stormlight Archive part 1, I'ld say. Of course speed will pick up, but judging from the reviews "speeding up" for Oathbringer means "heading down the slopes at breakneck speed"

The curses/insult filters for the forum need to be readjusted for in-world-curses, too ... ;-)

Yepp, that might well be the case!

Is this so? It is his FLASHBACK book, but does this really mean he has to be Primary Main Character (PMC)? Wasn't there a WoB that there was no problem to dedicate a book to a flashback character (FBC) who was already dead at that time, which makes it extremely difficult for the FBC to be PMC, too, in my view :-) How was it in the other books? EDT: I am just struggling to get Kaladin and Shallan in part 2 ... *mutter*

My bet is, Kaladin is left out. Shallans thread just NEEDS to be told, esp. in connection with Jasnah back. On 2nd thought Kaladin meeting Jasnah might just be right, because it has not yet happened... Storms!

Nope Would not "feel right" To me at least :-)

Tears in my eyes and wringing my hands when Kal split the storm ... my colleagues are looking strange at me now ...

I think its a good catch and that it IS significant. Have an upvote. Minks seem to be either something cat-ish or dog-ish, as in Way of Kings, at the docks, Shallan observes a "mink" prowling near a "rat". So, the cat-fur coat just might be Rosharan reality, sorry, @Aminar

I am confused, but perhaps you DID read Edgedancer and just forgot; iff so, open the follwing Edgedancer Spoiler, if you did not read it so far, do not open: I might just completely misunderstand you, though :-D EDT2: Oh, just noticed I DID misread you, sorry! Completely missed the "like" ... *BLUSH*
