  1. Hoid destroying the existence of every single share so that there can neither be a vessel nor there can be any type of power.
  2. Someone asked me if reading The Sunlit Man is better if we read it before Wind and Truth. I would say that not only Sigzil grow in WaT but Szeth's highspren also undergoes certain transitions and become what they are in The Sunlit Man. So I think my final thought is to read WaT first Although I am only 50% complete in WaT
  3. I have to say that the novel is very badly written. I mean the writing is poor. Brandon tries to show but he fails constantly but he continues to try. Didn't he realize at the time of writing that he is getting failed at showing. You can't be at cognitive ease while deciphering what he is trying to show. Mark of bad writing. I guess he was in a rush and has made a rule to make these novels more than 1000 pages long
  4. I will tell you but I am a very slow reader reading a very long book. But I think reading wind and truth before is better. Sigzil is more fleshed out in this book in the 20-30% of it that I have read. You become more familiar with him in the heroic place where kaladin once was when Sigzil is the main character or should I say the hero of the sunlit man.
  5. I would like to know one thing. I have the habit of reading the last chapters of novels once I have completed 20-30% of them. That gave me an idea that Sigzil becomes Nomad in the sunlit man which I haven't read yet Could somebody tell me when the events of The Sunlit Man takes place after the ending of Wind and Truth?
  6. Thanks for the reply. Spoiling myself keeps me going through the boring parts of the book considering that good things will come later. But really, I wonder if there is any novel that doesn't use plot devices. That is one thing that has made reading novels boring for me after reading a good sum untill now.
  7. I want to know one thing although I have just started Wind and truth and I am 5% complete but I have read here that Dalinar killed stormfather. That comes as a surprise to me. Is that contrived in the book. Does that feel a plot device? Anyone replying to me can elaborate on that without caring about the spoilers because I usually spoil myself before reading any book
  8. Another question to ask Brandon Sanderson is how does Shedsmar has oxygen to breath everywhere that people can travel in between planets.
  9. How do we know that axindweth is a feruchemist?
  10. Finally completed this novel. I have got to say that if this novel was only of 500 pages it might have been enjoyable. All the talks of cosmere science in Navani's POV could have been reduced by a great length. Stress on Kaladin's mental state was repetitive.
  11. It is complete stupidity that Taranvengion didn't tell Dalinar about nightblood. How can Szeth find his way into Dalinar and Odium's vision? The only way it is not stupidity when Odium will know that Dalinar is carrying the sword in one the visions but Rayse took the risk of coming close to Taravingeion when he was close to the sword that means the best thing was to tell Dalinar and intelligent Tara didn't figure that out or he was stupid the whole time.
  12. I have a question. In chapter 94 someone, either Maya or Adolin said, "Strength before weakness". Who was the one who said that. It was Adolin or Maya?
  13. I guess Hoid's ultimate fate is to help splinter all the shards. There is nightblood now that can kill the vessel making it easier
  14. I have a question. I am on chapter 42 at the moment and I am wondering how Kaladin remained awake when all the Radiants fell when sibling was affected? Is this answered in the book?
  15. I am reading this book. And by reading about how people liked Kaladin's arc makes me read it when I get bored and somehow thinks that if this goes on I will give this book only two stars on goodreads I am on chapter 34 at the moment and I cannot help but think why shallan's and Kaladin's mindset is stretched to a degree that it feels that the same data is being recycled and feeded to us again and again
  16. I guess Hoid's ultimate fate will be to splinter all the shards. Nightblood can kill the vessel making it easier to splinter the shard.
  17. Odium may get freed like Ruin
  18. does anyone have in their mind that Brandon may die before completing his cosmere series? He makes novels in other universes as well and cosmere could have 40-50 books in its arsenal. That many books will at least take 50-60 years to write. When he writes other novels as well then he would need more time than that which he will probably not have Anyway, why should we care. A universe has billions of planets with millions of intelligent species. We can assume that an advanced alien species can destroy all the shards and human beings if they act all haughty and high and mighty
  19. Okay I have read the epilogue first and understood that odium destroyed Hoid's memories. I might get trolled because of this but this is a complete plot device bullshitry. If you are going to meet a grand and transcendental power then you will become completely alert and recognize all your vulnerability and shield it with all the knowledge you have. Hoid would have done that. He pondered whether Ryse has become more thoughtful then that means he had the possibility in his mind that the person after taking the shard could grow. There is no reason for this foolishness except for the plot device that the writer has put to advance the story towards a direction where it will be the most likable I bet I would have more fun reading mistborn era 2(that I have already read) than reading this. Unless, those memories are of little use to Hoid
  20. Could someone tell me how Taravingian outwitted Hoid and his memories, were they removed by Rayse or Taravengian after he ascended? I am very eager to know considering Hoid to be the main character in the final cosmere books. I have just purchased the book and it will take ages for me to reach that point. It would be good to find out and know what to expect.
  21. Maya is reciprocating. People don't invest themselves in something that they believe will never reply back. Adolin doesn't care about it. Now it's all about looking forward to the next book for her complete revival
  22. Acting on an urge is not Kaladin's forte. And there is nothing wrong with talking to her like a friend does no matter the way you look at each other. He is simply not that interested. If he was, he wouldn't have cared if Adolin is there like he didn't care about him while stealing looks on Shallan He didn't know that Shallan was trying to be someone else. After the fight in Thaylena, he holds and embraces Shallan when she is in control and being herself. He straight away encourages Shallan to be who she is multiple times(in the boat in Shadesmar and after the final fight). right at the time of her marriage, the result can be seen. She was enjoying being herself while marrying Adolin. She is coping up with stress. And it's a dire environment along with her recollection of her past. Everything is happening all at once. This intense amount of pretense, with her marriage, is healing as it seems
  23. Shallan didn't infer anything. She just didn't want to talk about that topic more than that. But Kaladin didn't try to understand her problems, he is besieged by his own to a great extent. Adolin enjoys and could lighten her burdens and make her progress. Adolin was unknowingly doing that. Later he didn't. Kaladin didn't try even in the normal conversations like a friend does
  24. He stated that she reminds him of someone. Some traits that are common but not completely. It is, but there he was in agreement with the event. Liking is one thing, loving is the other. He never made a suggestion to get to know her. He was encouraging her way of pretending to escape her pain which was not so healthy to her and opposite of what Adolin was trying to do
  25. He took the Diagram as his holy book and asked everyone to retain faith in it. He was overwhelmed by the extent by which he was outmatched by odium when he could immensely elaborate on each element of Tar's writing and foresee things. It was because of his emotions (that he couldn't handle to make a wise decision) he agreed to form a contract. I would like to add that his ability to make the diagram tantamount to the ability of genius savants and so it may not be the direct influence of cultivation
