Well I don't know what to answer to that. This is just how I feel and I don't think I am trying to fit these characters in more classical roles. I guess I wanted more feelings and reactions from the characters at the end but I am really looking forward to see how all these characters will develop with the next eight books. (personal note : I am not only a fan of classical fantasy genres. My long favourite fantasy books list contains all kind of fantasy books with Brandon Sanderson Mistborn, but also with Mark Lawrence amazing trilogy, Scott Lynch Gentlemen bastards serie, Anthony Ryan first indie book, Peter V.Brett Demon cycle, Patrick Rothfuss and Robin Hobb prose treasures and so many more...) But ok I concede I am perhaps too romantic. Sorry...

Well I agree I have been too far concerning the hug thing, but it was just to highlight I wanted an exchange, explanation, reactions from Kaladin and Dalinar. Before being interrupted by Navani, he wanted to talk with Dalinar. Then I think we jump a few days after the event to the Dalinar POV chapter. Of course Dalinar, Brightlord, and Kaladin darkeyes will never have a father to adopted son relationship, but he could at least react or feel something after Kaladin victory. He cried of joy in front of Shallan... While Dalinar will never be a father to Kaladin, I think he has strong paternal feelings for Kaladin, otherwise he would call him soldier and not "son" on many occasions. Renarin is just irritating me but I am waiting for his story development. A radiant ? Not really helping instead of shouting "it's come" and "we're dead" and distracting Shallan. If he can really see the future he should have helped earlier...

Ooops sorry didn't know it was at the wrong place. Could a moderator move this post ? I don't know how or if I can do it. Thank you Lyly

Hey everyone ! This is my first post (outside my presentation) and I wanted to ask you what you were thinking about the last book's chapters. I really love Sanderson's books (specially Mistborn series), WoK was amazing but the end of WoR is just killing me. It feels like there is a lot of chapters missing and the book climax just drop too quickly leaving too many lose endings, and I feel really frustrated about it. I know there will be 8 more books but one year (minimum) to wait for the next chapter is awful. The big revelation I was waiting for since WoK (Kaladin as a KR), just happened without big moments between Kaladin and Dalinar : one-two sentences. No hug, no feelings, no confessions between them. Kaladin fighting the assassin to death to protect everyone just seems natural, no big thing. He even got yelling at by Navani, completely panicked for her son when he returns victorious. Just action, facts and it feels empty without emotions from main characters. Again, Kaladin and Shallan in the same room, the first time since the chasm episode where they trust each other with their worst secrets, feelings and stories and they looked mutely at the pillars of the chamber ? Of course there will be more in the next books, but I would have been happy with one glance exchange or a few thoughts on the situation. I don't understand why with a book containing a thousand pages, the ending has to be so rushed. I know It was the author decision to finish his book like this, there is surely a reason why, but for me it feels just incomplete. What do you think ? Cheers Lyly P.S. Sorry for my english, it is not my first language.

Hello everyone ! I have just joined your forum because I am addicted to fantasy books and Brandon Sanderson is such an amazing author ! I have really enjoyed the Mistborn trilogy some years ago and now I cannot get out of the Stormlight Archives world anymore: it has been a few weeks I have finished the first two books and I am still thinking about it, re-reading favourite chapters, and stalking forums ... The wait for the third book has begun . Cheers Lyly P.S. Sorry for my english, it is not my first language...
