The timeline is not 100 percent clear, but it does seem to me that the Sibling was 'withdrawing' before the imprisonment of BAM and the damage done to the singers.

I'd say True Neutral because he doesn't really make moral/ethical decisions as such. He just does what's in his nature.

Feeling

So far none of the books have had their 'main' focus character on the cover, so we'd expect that trend to continue. Maybe Szeth?

yeah Vasher and Mraize work better as background characters, Vasher cause it'd be confusing for people who haven't read Warbreaker, and Mraize because the Ghostbloods should be explored through our main PoV characters learning about them.

I'd actually rather have PoV from a less human-like spren like Pattern or Ivory, I'd find that more interesting personally.

I kinda want Rysn to NOT get healed even if she does become a Radiant. Having the disabled character get magically healed is kinda boring actually. I'd like to see her with a cool fabrial wheelchair and/or riding on her awesome service bugdragon.

I want to see Rlain become a Bondsmith. Brandon has said we might get a spren PoV eventually, I would also really like to see it.

Found the missing Shardblades, sold them all and is now living in a solid platinum mansion in Azimir.

I like Cultivation, cause I'm pretty sure she's up to something really awesome that's going to make my brain explode when we find out the whole story.

they need a Physical aspect to manifest physically. They don't have enough of one on their own. So they get it from their bonded human. But when the humans broke the bond the spren were bound in a state where they required a Physical aspect but didn't have a proper one. So the Investiture that makes up the rest of them got redirected. That's why they can't think. The same thing is actually happening to a lesser extent when they transition to the PR without a bond, they can't both exist in the physical realm and think properly without a physical aspect to piggyback on. At least that's theory, and I do think the evidence supports it.

No, I think the flashbacks will be done in the same style they always have. I imagine Eshonai's flashbacks will be used to highlight or contrast things in Venli's current narrative.

I don't think it's possible to lose connection to the SR in the manner you are suggesting, and I think the issue that the spren have is that they lack a significant Physical aspect, which impairs their functioning in the PR unless they can "borrow" a Physical aspect from a natively Physical being via the bond. In the case of the deadeyes they were bound by the oaths that their Radiant swore, which the Radiant then broke, but the spren are still bound and that's why they still manifest as Blades But they don't have access to a normal Physical aspect in the way that they 'should' so they are messed up and the energy they need to be able to manifest physically is being taken from their minds. At least that's the theory that @Calderis came up with and I agree with as it fits the evidence, including the above WoB. What they need ts to get access to a proper Physical aspect through a new Radiant, and I think the fact that Maya has been able to communicate with Adolin, even in a very limited form shows that that process is beginning between them.

The Fused killed by NB are definitely properly dead, and whether or not people NB eats go to the Beyond is an open question, deliberately so. The same ambiguity likely applies to YN, that said Hessi is indeed not necessarily a reliable source on this, as she's speculating based on hearsay. She doesn't have first hand knowledge at all.

Yeah Amaram was not in control by the end. He would have been eaten.

For most things anyway. I hadn't actually seen that particular one before!

Might have to wait for the back half. otoh I can almost guarantee Willshaper Oath 2 will be in book 4, possibly even the third but maybe not.

Pattern is really terrible at lying. So I think he was being totally sincere. Whether he's right is another question, but Cryptics are weird in general so...

I like Rysn but I'm more interested in Rock going home, as that promises to have interesting implications both for him as a character and the larger plot due to the fact that it will probably involve Cultivation's Perpendicularity and the Fused. Not to say Rysn's story won't end up having something to do with the larger plot, but it's less obvious how.

It wasn't quite fully physical I think. Just physical enough to work the Oathgate.

I think Renarin does have access to two Surges it's just that one is the Voidbinding version due to Glys being corrupted. So he does have a resonance (that is likely completely unique to him).

You mean abrasion? A lot of people think it's a resonance, but it could also just be Spiritual Abrasion I guess? 'Social lubricant' you might say.

Theory is she has access to it, but is repressing it for Reasons.

That wasn't a Truth, though it may be a step on the way to her last Truth.

No, Reverse lashing is just Gravitation and Skybreakers can use it. And Shallan has used Transformation, when she turned the goblet to blood and on the Wind's Pleasure.
