I'm new to the forum and realtively new to Brandson's work as well. After reading tGS I got into Brandon's work and read through Mistborn, Warbreaker and Elantris in about 4 months. I snatched up tWoK as quickly as possible too. I can't remember the last time I read more engaging, cohesive and multilayered works. Can't wait for more.

I always assumed that there was some kind of abusive relationship between Shallan and her father or perhaps her father and all his children, one of them is clearly a psychopath. Perhaps that is what her brother stood up to and the reason she killed him.
