Sell. It's obviously 16. Lift, Szeth, and Adolin on ice skates.
-
The lower gravity does make it plausible that Rosharians could be taller then most other people in the Cosmere, but the difference is probably not that big.
-
I loved the way Lift and Szeth played off each other in OB and would like to see more of that.
-
Yeah, he's from Sel.
-
It would also depend which arm. You can get by more easily if your non-dominant arm is broken then if your dominant arm is broken.
-
You should read Warbreaker, as it contains some context for a few characters that appear in SA.
-
I thought it was funny. Nothing else to it.
-
It's not exactly confirmed that Dalinar is a Sliver, and Brandon has RAFO'd it I think, but I think it's likely that he is.
-
Well yes, that's basically what makes it difficult to revive the deadeyes at this point. But it's still possible. Spren aren't like people.
-
All the baked goods are spiked. Brandon's religion does show in his writing at times. The great thing is that he can do that without detracting from the story or disrespecting other beliefs. A lot of openly religious writers have trouble with that.
-
Personally I think Shallan's issues in OB make sense because her previous coping mechanisms (which where themselves not very healthy but) have been shredded to bits. It's not really a surprise she was having some difficulties. She seems to be a bit more stable as of the end of OB so hopefully she will continue to improve.
-
That was as you said while Kaladin was reaffirming his oaths and reforming the bond.
-
I don't think it makes sense to say that Eshonai would have been better in Venli's place then Venli is, because Eshonai was a different character and would have needed a different plotline. Venli's plotline happened the way it did because that's who she is and was as a character.
-
I think this is the WoB people have been referring to. So yes, I think this WoB implies that what happened in OB was directly related to the way Adolin had behaved previously with regard to the sword.
-
I agree that on the narrative level it doesn't make sense to set up something like this and then have it amount to nothing significant in the long run. There's been too much setup with Adolin talking to her, and then interacting with her in Shadesmar, and then what happened during the battle for it to make sense for it to be nothing significant in the grand scheme of things. Brandon does like to mess with reader expectations, but he does it in satisfying ways and I think messing with what the narrative is suggesting in this case would be highly unsatisfying.

Theory on the Sovereign's appearance (BoM Spoilers)
CrazyRioter replied to Faceless Mist-Wraith's topic in Mistborn
I think the shapeshifting thing with the Returned is due to the Divine Breath rather than being Cognitive Shadows. -
I think it's a bit of stretch to say that Taln's temporary lucidity shows that Maya's behaviour is due to the Perpendicularity when the type of damage is likely extremely different even if the result looks somewhat similar. It's a bit like saying you can treat a concussion by administering Narcan just because Narcan works on somebody with an opoid overdose and somebody with an opoid overdose might have outwardly similar symptoms to a person with a concussion.
-
I agree with @maxal that reviving Maya is a great way to give Adolin a distinctive character arc that's different then "token normal" or "just another superpowered character". Token normal characters tend to end up sidelined and forgotten about by the narrative. Or turned into comic relief. I also think reviving Maya could have huge implications for the story as a whole, giving first hand details on what actually happened during the Recreance for one thing.
-
It's pretty much stated in Edgedancer that Nale talked to Ishar recently re the signs that a Desolation was approaching which Ishar dismissed.
-
I have thoughts on Shalladin, but I don't want to derail this thread by going into detail about. Suffice to say that I'll acknowledge there's attraction there, and I don't think it makes sense to argue that there isn't but I don't think it means it's going anywhere further, especially after the ending of OB. I could be wrong about that but that's how I feel. Similarly I'll acknowledge that I cannot conclusively prove my opinions about what is going on between Adolin and Maya. If we had conclusive proof either way we wouldn't be having this discussion. However, it is my personal belief that there is something going on there and I think there's strong textual support for that interpretation. Other people feel differently obviously.
-
Welcome. Meeting Brandon in person is amazing. He's an amazing person and I hope to be able to meet him in person again.
-
Yeah, Kaladin's issues make sense given his trauma, but I couldn't help wanting to yell at him to stop being an idiot at times.
-
@Narcoleptic Axolotl asked if it was possible to revive a dead spren, I answered the question.
-
We have several WoBs that it's at least potentially possible.
-
More then just slightly at least in some cases.
