Oh, don't get me wrong. Lirin will be overjoyed to have his son back. I expect emotional, teary (happy tears of course) reunion with lots of hugs It's just that Lirin sticks very hard to his beliefs so at one point he and Kaladin are bound to "discuss" Kaladin's choice of being a soldier. Eventually they will come to mutual understanding, but there will be some tension along the way. As for "no killing to protect" - how it refers to Voidbringers? I guess some of them can be somehow "cured", but others (like Venli) are rather uncurable (they want to be Voidbringers). I don't really see this but maybe that's just me. I simply cannot imagine Kaladin going against legion of Voidbringers and trying his storming best not to kill them :ph34r: I agree he will try to find other ways to deal with the problems, but what if there are no other ways? (Btw, have you seen the cartoon Avatar:The Last Airbender? There's something like this in there - Aang stubbornly tries to find a way to defeat the enemy without killing him. It's really worth watching in my opinion... Especially for your kids I think Though I don't know their ages, so I cannot be sure... ) Do you read my mind? I always imagined Lirin and Hesina having a little daughter! How old could she be, 3? So when Kal comes back he meets his adorable sister and finds out she's just as cheerful and kind as Tien and he promises himself he won't screw up this time so he end up being the best big brother ever (optionally spoiling the kid waaay too much) Of course, at first Kaladin would be rather wary of getting too close to his sister afraid that it will end up like with Tien, but she will have none of it cause as soon as she meets her brother she will immediatelly love him and insist he plays with her... Syl would be incredibly interested in the child so she will make herself seen to her and then the girl will be all "oooh, the spren-lady is so preetty...". Syl will, of course, be delighted at such treatment and she will pointedly inform Kaladin that his sister is way nicer and more polite then he is Part of my idea is that at first Kaladin will try to stay away from his sister so she wouldn't get hurt by association with him (we all know he's paranoid) but then the child gets in a great danger so Kal risks his life to save her. He then hugs the crying girl to him and promises he will always be there for her and will protect her no matter what I even imagine Hesina chastising Kaladin for spoiling his sister so much Because come on, who wouldn't want a big brother who would take you flying whenever you want? As for the way Kaladin will win the villagers - that's pretty much exactly what I meant. He will propose something that needs to be done but everyone will refuse to help him so he will go do it himself. Seeing this some eager teenagers will be the first ones to follow him and slowly the rest of the village will follow. Because, Rock and Teft aside, those were special cases, the first bridgeman to approach Kaladin was Dunny and I kind of see him as a kind of eager teenager (or at least a youth) I read somewhere (but I can't remember where) that Kaladin is a great personification of the Codes as he seems to embody them all while not even knowing them - as in he follows the instinctively Codes because that's how he thinks he should act as a leader not because he knows about the Codes and tries to follow them because he was told to do this (like Dalinar does). Well, if that's how you look at this... I guess I simply perceive Shallan very differenty (and my perception may be biased as I'm not very fond of her). I don't know if Renarin is the type of person to point out to Shallan how unfair she is towards Adolin... Especially since the brothers are very likely to fall apart soon... Navani will see the problem in Adolin not in Shallan and Dalinar will barely even acknowledge this... I think that Kaladin could throw it in her face as she did to him the way he mistreated Adolin in WoR (the talk on the plateau). Something like "You know, Princeling really likes you, maybe you shouldn't be such a shrew to him? Has he ever done something wrong to you?". That would in turn result in a shouting match (as most of their conversations do...) but in the end Shallan would admit that he's kind of right... Generally I mean - Renarin may point out to Shallan how wrong she is towards Adolin but he's not the kind of person to do it bluntly enough for her to understand. The matter with Adolin will be a huge mistake on Shallan's part but I meant something more like ups-I-just-caused-end-of-the-world mistake, not a personal one. From the interlude about ardents I gathered that the oathgate is a big room inside the palace... So I guess the whole palace or at least a big part of it would be transported... That's not to say they won't open it - between Jasnah who is, well, Jasnah, and Kaladin who has some experience with working Oathgates it's very possible. As for the win-win part - I agree completely. That's more or less how I imagine the situation: After many hours of talking and attempts to come to an agreement with Ialai and Amaram it's time for the highprince to announce his decision. Dalinar: As a retribution for the crime house Sadeas is given all Shards that are in possesion of my family... Elhokar: But uncle! You cannot do that! I'm not giving them my Shards! <Dalinar shots Elhokar deadly glare> Amaram: Och, Your Majesty, of course we wouldn't try to claim your Shards. You have no fault in this tragical event. It's your cousin who commited the crime. We speak only of the Shards being possesed by your uncle, his sons and his soldiers... Nobody would dare to blame Your Majesty for their gravely mistakes. <Dalinar with effort dismisses the thought of breaking Amaram's neck> Dalinar: As a punishment for commiting the highest crime, you, Adolin Kholin, are hereby stripped of your Shards, titles and position. I disown you and name you a tenner. That's the final decision. Soldiers, lead him away. <Ialai pouts, she really hoped for execution. Renarin looks like a ghost. Navani tries to talk to Dalinar but he gently pushes her away. Adolin pales.> Adolin: But, father, I only wanted to protect you... <Dalinar looks at him with hard eyes> Dalinar: You are not my son anymore. <Adolin break down and cries. Soldiers (propably Bridge 4) gently lead him away with solemn expressions on their faces. Amaram smirks in triumph.> Right after that Dalinar leaves the chamber, proud, straight-backed, with emotionless expression on his face. As soon as he reaches his chamber and closes the door, he sinks to his knees and cries. He hates himself for what he had done but he knows that was the only way. He hits his fist on the floor repeatedly until it bleed but the Stormlight heals him and nobody knows how much did it cost him to cast away his firstborn son - nobody besides the guards at his doors who heard his pained wailing. Well, what I was saying was limited to the case in which the epigraph would refer to Adolin and Renarin. Personally I think it could be about Dalinar and Gavilar when Dalinar finds his brother dead that night - "what have we done?" part referring to the treaty with Parshendi. As for the fanfic - there are many things in it that I don't exactly agree with, but generally I think it portrayed Adolin's psychic after the murder very well - that's pretty much how I think about it. At least to an extent. Of course, if there was any Stormlight around Renarin would simply heal himself, but that wouldn't save Adolin from his guilt. I hope he won't sink this low but I'm not saying he won't (some of my ideas do include him sinking to the lowes low :ph34r: ). I mostly imagine Adolin becoming more solitary (he tries to find supporst in the ones he loves but after being turned down for one reason or another he closes into himself) and reckless (going into fighting without thinking, risking his life way more then before - especially since he doesn't have Shards to protect him). That would ultimately lead to him throwing himself into a battle he cannot win and getting deadly wounded (or even killed) in the process. But of course, no need to worry - Renarin manages to use Progression to save his brother. The brothers reunite and Dalinar also starts to mend the gaping hole between himself and Adolin. Well, not in all of my plots Elhokar dies, but in most of them... Anyway he does make perfect candidate to be controlled by Odium. How would something as tragic as death of a parent help Kaladin trigger 4th Ideal? I don't really see it. Besides, I think Kal has already lost enough of his loved ones. That would be way to cruel to do this to him. I mean, Mr. Sanderson is not GRRM after all, I don't think he likes to torture his characters more then it's necessary for the plot. And I see no way in which death of Lirin and/or Hesina would be neccessary for the plot. Kaladin deserves some happiness finally

My favourite is propably "Adolin in Azir" as I really like Lift, so the opportunity for the two of them to meet would be nice. Of course there would have to be more to this - maybe Lift did something again and Darkness tries to kill her one more, or maybe Adolin convinces Azish to fully support Dalinar against the Desolation, or maybe Adolin would have something to do with the Nightwatcher (with Lift's influence), maybe Voidbringers are unstoppable in Azir and Adolin convinces Lift to help him get people to resist them somehow (he doesn't have his shards but he's still talented in leading battles), or maybe all of those at once... Wow, I totally missed the fact that Mr. T started a plague in Purelake My question was actually why would Taravangian be in the Purelake not Adolin, but now I realized that I missed that one fact... How do I read those books? Interesting plot for sure, my only problem is that I'd rather see Adolin having a happy ending I'm quite hopeless at that I'm much more for the idea of Adolin, when he's healthy, starting to get suspicious of the Diagram and what he is being told (his intuition kicking in) and turning his back on Mr.T... I mean, he's not cunning enough to try to infiltrate them so he would propably simply turn his back at this as soon as he realizes what they're trying to do. Which would lead to more problems as they'd decide to get rid of him since he refuses to be useful to them. Adolin is in a very big trouble, but he's saved by Moash and manages to escape (prefarably towards the obsidian keep...). This above and most of my other ideas concerning Moash goes down to: "I think he will try to redeem himself somehow". Of course not for trying to kill Elhokar. But I think that Moash feels really bad for his betrayal of Kaladin, at least that's how I understood his little PoV at the end of WoR - he's not happy with whatever he's unconsciously gotten himself into and he feels guilty for the way he turned against Kal. That's why I think he will try to redeem himself in the end. In the forementioned scenario propably with last words to Adolin along the lines of "Tell Kaladin I'm sorry". But your idea of Moash being the one who points out the truth to Adolin is also very nice for my line of thought I guess if he survives he would make a good squire for Adolin too, but in my mind he does something good to try to redeem himself and ends up dead or in another bad way As for Danlan - her role as being the one to deceive and manipulate Adolin is a good one, but I simply don't get the feeling that her story with Adolin wasn't finished. We don't know what she said to annoy him so much but I don't perceive it as very important - I think it was propably some complaining on Dalinar or pointing out his insanity, which we know is an easy way to make Adolin angry.

Honestly, you have the best ideas... The craziest ones sometimes but still the best But why exactly Purelake? Anyway, when I imagine Adolin having any contact with the Diagram I think his supernatural intuition will kick in - he will know something is very, very wrong... I honestly have no idea how could they possibly brainwash Adolin, of all people, to turn against Dalinar. As for the Diagram, I sometimes wonder what will be Moash's role in this plot...

Ok, I guess you are right. Personally I don't see Shallan's mother as a member of Ghostbloods (the way she tried to kill Shallan for being a Surgebinder doesn't seem very consistent with Ghostbloods to me), but I agree we can't rule out that possibility. For Helaran the most likely allegiance are the Skybreakers I think. Yup, I mostly agree here. Though I think that Kaladin reconciling with his parents will not be easy, not at all in fact. I mean, Hesina is very likely to simply hug her son and be too happy to see him to mind anything but while Lirin will propably be happy to have his son back, sonner or later they're bound to argue about Kal willingly being a soldier And if Hesina wasn't present at the time (having gone back to her family in Kharbranth or something) then patching the rift between Kaladin and Lirin may seem nigh impossible I actually like the idea that Kal will try to round up some of the villagers to help him with something and at first nobody would be willing to do it but then some eager youths will decide to go with him. They will work hard and prove that Kaladin is leading them to do some good which will convince some more people to join. Roshone will be of course very much against it and maybe he will even forbid others from helping Kal but the villagers will decide that they'd rather follow Kaladin's lead then Roshone's. And all that without showing off Syl-blade or anything like this. The spoiler below is connected to the reading from book 3, it's just better explanation of what I mean. Besides I hope that Kaladin will say two Ideals in the next book so he could be finally a full Radiant. But lately she does what she wants and doesn't let anyone choose for her... Maybe I misunderstood you but that doesn't make too much sense to me I think that 5th truth will be either whatever really attracted Pattern long ago or something about her true feelings (coughAdolincough)... Oh, she will grow very supporting towards Ghostbloods - they give her true freedom (that's how she may see it since she sees somebody caring for her as trying to oppress her) and unlike the Kholins or anyone else they saved her brothers. Besides right now she enjoys everything that brings her excitement (understandable after being locked up for most of her life) and working with Ghostbloods is exactly her type of exciting/thrilling. Adolin will need emotional support but Shallan will be too focused on her research/Ghostbloods to see it. She will snap at him for interrupting her in something very important (at least in her eyes). He will feel that he means nothing to her and it will add to everything else being against him. Of course when the relationship is broken off everyone is going to assume that it was Adolin's fault as always. Navani will take Shallan's side. Those two will get closer in the book 3 because they'll propably do some research together (on Voidbringers, Radiants, how-to-make-a-Shardplate and so on). And please, let it not be so that Shallan is always the brilliant scholar who discovers all the important things and thanks to that a tragedy is avoided (or at least minimalised). If she discovers something important I'd have her disregard it, thinking it of no concern so later it could bite her (very hard). I really hope she will make some big mistake or seriously screw something up finally... :ph34r: But if they opened the oathgate wouldn't the whole city (or at least the palace) end up in Urithiru? After all the whole plateau is being teleported Jasnah meeting Kaladin is an interesting idea, I never thought of it. That could work out nicely (and maybe we would see some more of Ivory too - I wish to see Syl interacting with other Nahel spren) I think that by the end of 3rd book Adolin will be casted out from the family and however Dalinar is going to bring him back we will see in book 4 or even 5. I guess one of Dalinar's ideals could be connected to it, just not necessarily the 3rd one. Maybe in the 3rd book Dalinar will have to learn that not everyone can be united, especially they shouldn't be against their own will... That's how I think it will be The epigraph makes it sound like they screwed up big time, both... And one of them ended up dead/near dead Besides I get a scary feeling that it could be something about Renarin (and his visions) accidentially causing Adolin's death. Or something like in this fanfic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/1877880 . It's of course not mine (all credit goes to the author), but I've read it some time ago and I find it disturbingly possible :ph34r: Especially that ever since I finished WoR I imagined Adolin's future in a similar way (apart from one part that I really hope won't happen but it seems to me as close to the forementioned epigraph) As for Elhokar - I can see him accidentially joining the bad guys while still thinking himself to be good and in right I don't perceive him a a vile person, he's just incompetent and stubborn. As of Kholins in general - they will have ONLY problems in the near future.

I agree. Most (if not all) of book 3 Kaladin will be in Hearthstone and Kholinar. He would have no possibility of running into Shallan. There may be some vague possibility of him meeting Shallan's brothers but I doubt it as that would serve no real purpose. In book 3 there will be propably something about Shallan and Adolin falling apart. If Kaladin is to be brought in the mix (and I really hope this won't be the case) it would happen in book 4 when he's back and any relationship between Shallan and Adolin is either extremaly strained or already broken up. I hope Adolin won't become "disowned prince in exile", that would take him too far away from real plot. But if it happens I hope he will get himself into something interesting at least - a run-in with Lift or even Rysn, meeting with Jasnah (assuming she's not in Urithiru already), or at least getting himself into trouble involving Szeth and Nightblood (I honestly hope for either Adolin or Kaladin to get his hands on Nightblood for a short while so they could interact - bonus points for Nightblood pointing out that they are even worse at sneaking than a certain two he knows ). Or Adolin wandering aimlessly around the place could stumble upon Mr. T, "feel" that something is wrong with this guy and try to find out what's going on (after all he has nothing more to lose) therefore messing up with the Diagram. There are also other secret organisations (maybe some we don't know) with which Adolin can accidentially interact. Storms, he may even meet a Herald (not Naln) or a few which would cause severe consequences for everyone. There are many interesting possibilities with exiled Adolin As I was writing this another thought came to my mind - Kaladin in Kholinar meeting Liss (prefarably, or at least another one of Jasnah's assasins). This could get very interesting (especially with some of my crazy theories )

Don't we have a WoB that his parents are alive? I'm pretty sure there was one but I can't find it right now But I like your other ideas, especially teh one about Syl Personally I see Kaladin in Kholinar dealing with the riots... Besides I think that both 4th and 5th Ideals of Windrunners will be connected to leading (as there were already two about protecting), but your idea is actually very good I thought Shallan spoke her fourth Truth already - there was a WoB that she's a step above Kaladin, so since he is on 3rd Ideal she must be on 4th Truth. But as for the 5th one I agree that it will be propably connected to whatever attracted Pattern in the first place. I can't remember any insinuation that Shallan's mother was a part of Ghostbloods, can you tell me exactly where you found it? As for the Pattern part - it would be hilarious, I hope we see some more about it. Jasnah and Hoid bumping into the Unmade? That would be really cool I don't really see Vorins worshipping Jasnah - I think they'd rather come to the conclusion that she very cleverly feigned her death (and maybe consider Shallan less believable because she lied about Jasnah's death, I don't know). Nale will come to kill Dalinar (he likes to kill off Surgebinders and he will find some justification in the biography of Blackthorn) but will be stopped (maybe by Kaladin if he comes back on time - I suspect Dalinar would have troubles with fighting off a Herald with Shardblade having none himself, unless Bondsmith's powers are that much awesome). Though we know why Bondsmiths are rare - they bond only with very special, one-of-a-kind spren like Stormfather. As for the rest - that's actually very valid possibilities. Personally I'd think that if Eshonai manages to free herself she will lead the Listeners who never took stormform and Venli would lead the Voidbringers. If Eshonai tries to control Voidbringers while not being brainwashed she's bound to try to do some good and therefore someone else (propably Venli) will realize that Eshonai is not truly one of them and therefore try to kill her. Oh my, hopefully you are wrong. I can only imagine very bad and very tragic ways on how you could be right with this and I really don't want them to happen

Granted, but you lose both of yours. I wish I could attend my favourite band's concert soon.

Well, the odds of Kaladin meeting Veil seem to me smaller than Shallan meeting with Tyn - after all both Shallan and Tyn were going in the same direction: to the Shattered Plains. True, it happened because it had to happen, but it wasn't so much forced in my opinion. Yes, it seems too convenient of an accident that Tyn was in this very caravan but it was likely for Shallan to run into a caravan in general. With Kaladin and Veil it's a bit different in my eyes - it's very unlikely that Shallan will be going anywhere close to the Kholins (and therefore Bridge 4) disguised as Veil. If such occurence was likely then we could assume that she may run into Kaladin of all people (as she ran into Tyn's caravan and not a different one). But it isn't - at least to me. I second that.

Well, Nightblood is a sword not a hammer so I think that "Slash" would be more appropriate

Technically, Windrunners and Bondsmiths also share a Surge (Adhesion) and we have seen both a Windrunner (Kaladin) and a Bondsmith (Dalinar). In my opinion they do share a personality trait (or maybe I should call it a predisposition) of being good leaders. One of the Windrunners attributes is leading, while one of Bondsmiths' is guiding, which I see as very similar (in my mind the only difference is that somebody who's leading is also actively taking part in action and somebody who's guiding stays behind). Though I fail to see a similarity between Renarin and Lift and Truthwatchers share a Surge with Edgedancers... Same goes for Renarin and Shallan - they seem to have nothing in common. This being said, your theory has potential, especially since we know that spren are attracted to certain personalities. I think it's possible to assume that spren granting the same Surge have something in common so they may be attracted to people with somewhat similar personalities (or at least ones having the same particular personality trait among many others that are different).

She had? When? I recall her creating illusions in Kalasin's presence (the chasms) but no lightweaving disguise.

Feather, you and your friend rock Totally...

Well, sooner or later we just may see this And please, let it be from Adolin's PoV... :ph34r: Well, people are different, even (or maybe especially) kids. I was reading rather well when I was 4 but none of my friends or other people I know did. On the other hand I always had an awful hand-eye coordination and didn't manage to learn how to properly throw a ball before I was 6 And I still can't ride a bike :ph34r: Well, that's usually how it is... As for Shallan, it worked well for her to be natural. What Adolin seems to really hate are lies and tricks. Maybe he would fall for "enhanced" version of Shallan, but as soon as he learned the truth he would feel betrayed and maybe even leave her. Shallan is definitely not there yet. She has been sheltered for most of her life so she never had a chance to try. Now she has this chance and she's going to seize it. She needs more character development to realize that willing commitment (like love) is not a prison.

True, but she also reads the ones written by others and corrects them :ph34r:

I've never watched Once Upon a Time, that idea just made sense to me... And while it would be a very interesting plot twist I also hope for a change in the name By the way, maybe Renarin would somehow find out, being Truthwatcher and all... He could realize that Dalinar forgot Shshshsh, connect it to the Nightwatcher and try to learn more about it... Apparently the part about not talking That's hilarious And why do I have the feeling that Hoid was the one who made sure only red tights were available? Or at least Shallan...

Nice ones Yup, I can see Nale tracking Dalinar, he will find many formal reasons to do so... Kaladin vs Rioters is another rather obvious one, I'm sure we will see this. As for Szeth... It's an interesting idea he would fight with Nightblood... But I don't think if he would survive this Jasnah&Hoid vs Unmade - I find this doubful but that would be a very cool thing to see

I love Richard Armitege as Vasher and Natalie Dormer as Blushweaver When it comes both to appearances and how I've seen them acting (though I must admit I've only seen them as Thorin and Margaery ). I also like Morena Baccarin for Vivenna - she looks actually almost as I've imagined her But I haven't seen this actress anywhere so I don't know if she could portray Vivenna well enough... And I can't see Maisie Williams as Siri - yes, Siri is 17 but while I'm very flexible on how I think she should look (I don't have a stable opinion on her), Maisie definitely isn't fit for this role in my opinion. As for all of the other actors - I barely know any of them I guess I've been watching different movies/TV series...

Well, last time we have seen Vivenna she was starting a partnership with Vasher so we could possibly assume she went with him. In fact, if she worldhops in the first place then it's 90% sure that she accompanies Vasher. Of course, that is unless there will be something in the sequel to contradict it, but as for now I'm convinced those two stick together. But that's true, we haven't seen anybody on Roshar who seems likely to be Vivenna. Personally, I hope she's there somewhere and we're going to see her sooner or later - she's my favourite female character in Cosmere Vivenna is not a Returned in Warbreaker and I doubt she would become one later on. If it's about possible time gap between Warbreaker and SA I'd rather see Vivenna reaching 5th Heightening by traditional means (colletcing Breaths) and therefore becoming virtually immortal. Unless she died and Vasher worldhopped later, but I really sincerely hope that's not the case Actually, I also recall Lightsong having brown eyes (though that may just be how I imagined him and now I'll believe it's true until I'm proven otherwise). Well, in my headcanon Blushweaver had green eyes and I like to imagine Vivenna with violet ones, though it's just how I picture her, so it may be very far from canon. It's nice that Brandon gives only vague descriptions of characters - we can imagine them however we want them. I'm almost completely sure that Vivenna's eye color wasn't specified in the book. @supersciguy maybe you can tell us your theory anyway? I'm curious

That's a good one. If I were to think of something myself I'd say "Protect those who need protection" (or something else akin to a certain ideal from SA )

There are no spren in Shinovar so maybe the further west the less common they are? It was said somewhere (I think there was a WoB or something) that spren must be close enough to be attracted.

Sorry I must've missed that. But hey, that must be a good idea if we both had it My dad tends to say: "great brains think similarly" Ok, you got me at the red tights And I imagined Adolin's (not Aredor, Adolin) reaction to this... He would have something to laugh about for the enxt 50 years

That depends on whether or not she will focus on trying to keep him... Now she doesn't need marriage to Adolin to protect her family - she's powerful enough herself (as a Radiant) and her brothers ar apparently safe (I don't think Mraize lied about that one...). I think she will rather focus on things she deems more important (like Ghostbloods or the Voidbringers). I don't know... I was past books with one sentence per page by the time I was 4... I guess I was a little bookish geek When other kids played I was reading books because I liked too :ph34r: Actually, my grandmother still tells at every family gathering the same story of how I, when I was 3, went to a bank with her and started to read aloud the words written on the glass ("Cash 4") without being really taught how to read (at least no more than any other kid is taught at this age). After that my mom started to teach me how to read properly since I've already started... I know, I was a very strange kid :ph34r: Blame the majority of the society... Most girls I know (even some a few years younger than me) have already been in at least one relationship, some even more... It's thought to be perfectly normal, people like me are those who are not normal At least among people I know from school or university I thought one of her apprenticeships will be Iyatil... No, she won't settle down (for Adolin or anyone for that matter) anytime soon as she would consider this a violation of her freedom. One day she will learn, though Well, that would be certainly interesting to see something between Shallan and Mraize but by now I don't see anything hinting towards such possibility (but that may change with the next book...).

Ok, my view on this can be a bit biased as I'm an only child... Who likes solitude and never wanted to have any siblings :ph34r: Upvote if only for the pine tree part It made my day considering I still have a physics exam and a very hard laboratory before me today... I also like Kaladin much more than Merin. I don't know, it just sounds nicer to me. I wonder, though, was the similiarity to a certain name from Warbreaker intentional? I have a feeling that Nightblood might find it funny if they ever meet...

Of course it can't be that bad It's just that Shallan is kind of doing to Adolin what Siri did to Susebron (but in a smaller measure). Yup, my parents gave it to me. And the Witcher when I was something around 11... I don't know if you have read Witcher or not, but let's just say that there's something happening on the very first page that isn't exactly fit for a child (and I'm not talking about gore )... Though my parents saw nothing wrong in letting me read whatever I wanted. And I wanted to read the same books as they did I picked up LotR because it looked really pretty on the shelf And then I decided I like it and asked if there are other similiar books. Fortunately there were and my parents like them as well I liked the elves, but the ones from the Hobbit not from LotR. Wood Elves were much funnier in the book But still hobbits and Rohirrim rule for me... With Aragorn I was ok, but well, I've always passionately hated Arwen :ph34r: So you say there's still hope for me? Yay Cats are actually cool, I have two of them and I love them so much that I miss them more than my parents when I'm away :ph34r: Mostly because I can talk with my parents over the phone... Well, that's definitely a nice way to put this... I guess you're right. But for me clothes divide into 3 groups - the ones that I find horrible and refuse to look at, the ones that are "not cool enough to spend money on" and the ones I like and I'm ready to pay whatever it takes if I have money. And additional group called "the clothes I'd dream to have but I can't have them in reality" (the perfect clothes I imagine for myself). And I guess same goes for shipping Ones I hate, ones I'm okay with but doesn't support, ones that I wish to happen and ones in which I imagine a perfect (in my opinion) person for a given character... Mraize and Shallan doesn't seem too possible but that would be interesting to see As for what you said about crack pairings - I assume they're from Mistborn, right? By now I cannot even understand them because I'm only around the half of the first Mistborn book

True, but I see now way it could help matter either (at least until Renarin's vision actually saves everyone's backsides)... It may be further hindrance in Dalinar's political attempts - it wasn't good but it can get worse. Yup, the public opinion won't have much power over Renarin. It will be worse for the image of their family than for him personally. Which gets us back to the obvious fact - Adolin will be in a very, very bad situation in the next book. [EDIT] Ok, something came to me teh very moment I clicked the button... Adolin will propably distance himself from his brother and for many reasons (one of them being feeling betrayed that Renarin kept such a secret from him, other Adolin considering himself inferior). I think one possible reason we may add to that is the fact that Adolin may be afraid of his brother. We know his opinion on foretelling the future - it's not positive. Finding out that Renarin actually sees the future may scare Adolin.
