Still only in the first few chapters of part 2, but man did I get emotional when Hobber healed and Rock's family arrived. Literally 5 minutes of constant chills. UGH MY HEART

I'm aware of that WoB, which is where the second half of my question came from.

So if Eshonai is really and truly dead, was Brandon just straight up lying about her getting a book in the SA? Or is there still going to be an Eshonai-centric book, just via flashback sequences?

If I've submitted my law school apps as planned by next Tuesday, I'll finish it the same night it's released lol.

JASNAAAAAAAAHHHH I CANNOT WAIT A FULL WEEK FOR THIS ISH

The voidspren that Kaladin talked to a few chapters ago, yes.

Is Kaladin's control of the storm the resonance for windrunners (Brandon has mentioned every order has a unique effect from mixing surges)?

Boys, find yourselves a spren like Syl.

One divided by three is .333, which is half of .666 THE DEVIL'S NUMBER - Jim Carey, in that god-awful movie 23

Anyone down to play some Gwent?

I think we all need to chill on the authoritative "this is what definitely causes a desolation" statements when all we have is a vague nod of approval from Brandon that amounts to a RAFO.

He said "one for each herald that broke under torture." Before the start of every new desolation, all ten heralds broke. Including Taln. So no, according to his stated theory, there would be 10 unmade.

Ishar/Tezim! Check out the endpaper illustrations, right here: https://www.tor.com/2017/10/26/revealed-the-full-endpapers-from-brandon-sandersons-oathbringer/ Edit: Actually, you're right, the in-book description doesn't match up perfectly with the endpaper illustration. Huh, that is really weird... got no clue who it could be now, Adonalsium seems to make the most sense.

But that doesn't make numerical sense, all the heralds broke under torture in previous desolations, including Taln. There would have to be a tenth unmade, and WoB and in-world knowledge have made it clear there are nine.

It was pretty cool that the endpaper illustrations were being described in-world just a few days after we saw them... I had a mini nerdgasm when I read Jezrien's mural being described by Shallan.

I found it pretty cool The unmade have existed long before the last desolation, and there are nine, not ten, so no, they don't correspond perfectly to the heralds.

I desperately want to know what happens when an unmade bonds a human/radiant now... I CANT WAIT TWO WEEKS FOR THIS damnation BOOK

“ who's ready for the Shalladrehy shippers!?

Stormfather's stated mission really makes me wonder why he chose Gavilar first.

I have a hard time believing that it's anything to do with the nightwatcher; otherwise we'd see Mr. T and Lift's boons/curses coming undone as well.

I tend to agree with the theory that Adolin will end up being exiled by Dalinar once the secret gets out; not sure how I feel about the concurrent theory that Adolin will go on an odyssey to revive his blade while in exile, but I do think the exile part is almost a given based on what we know of Alethi laws and Dalinar's moral code.

Are we absolutely sure Adolin didn't intentionally cockblock his rival by dropping that knowledge bomb on Shallan?

Well I'm glad that our "the copycat killer is an unmade" theory was actually right! I feel like the 17th shard has become unmade-paranoid lol, seeing ancient, evil spren as the answer to every mystery. On another note, I'm surprised at how quickly Shallan learned that Kaladin killed her brother - I expected this to become clearer when she learned more about Helaran via Mraize, but I'm glad that we don't have to waste dozens more chapters of Shallan hating Amaram for the wrong reason. Also, no wonder Hoid has liked Shallan for such a long time - she's an even better storyteller than he is!

Disagree strongly, the way Nohadon phrases it makes it pretty clear that the attack happened in the physical realm. You'd have to stretch awful far to interpret this as an attack that occurred in the cognitive or spiritual realm. If it were Yelig-nar possessing a thunderclast or something he would've just said that a thunderclast broke into the chancery. So yes, I think we can pretty definitively say that the unmade have some physical form, or at least a way to appear in the physical realm and actually touch/kill things.

They might not be able to be defeated by physical means, but they definitely have physical form and can therefore be physically fought since we know that Yelig-nar once broke into Nohadon's chancery and slaughtered all his scribes (WoK Chapter 60, Dalinar vision).
