    Butt teamed up with Emma and the ghanderflaffle to hunt Lift down.

    The existance of a narrator made Odium extremely odious. In every possible tense.

    The thing that has always bothered me is that the Heralds could have just lost their blades. Without them, they really aren´t any more than really skilled warriors who happen to be able to return from the dead.

    This is interesting... I am not convinced, but you have done a good job (you found I bunch of WoBs I didn’t knew about, for start). I will have to think more about this. Have an upvote!

    Yes! I am the Nalthis version of Zlatan!

    Odium lost, and got mad. He told his evil spren Emma to murder Rock and Ham for him. He couldn’t do it himself since he needed to rest after his intense lawyering.

    There are hints that she will in fact be a Dustbringer. One hint is Nale, who has bonded a spren, so we know Heralds can do it. One is how she breaks things, just like a good Dustbringer. Another one is her name. She is literally called Ash, and the spren are Ashspren. Finally, there was a line in the Thaylen Battle, about every Order being represented there. And since Malata wasn’t present, but Ash was, the logical conclusion is that she will be a Dustbringer.

    To all those who hides Unmade in the basement: stop it. It is not funny.

    Is Stannis Baratheon the one true king? Hint: there is one correct answer to this question, and it isn’t no. Also, you like fish sticks on pizza?

    Odium won the second one by Everstorming Rock to Braize. On Braize, Rock encountered an evil spren named Emma.

    Lift settled on Odium.

    Two things: in my experience, a lot of extreme revolutionaries have a way of thinking in the moment, and not about the big picture. L3 strikes me as someone like that. And then, considering that it was a mining colony, they most likely had ships stashed somewhere. Guard ships, freighters, etc. It would be wierd if they didn’t.

    I think this is brilliant. Really well done theory. I subscribe to this now!

    The dropbear took the DELICIOUS NOODLES(tm) and ran off with them.

    The name was also related to Meridas Amaram.

    This is perfect, and I agree 100%. Great post.

    I thought about it. I disagree.

    I won’t touch the love triangle, mostly because there are very strong feelings there, and I’m not that interested. But I want to touch upon the notion of fridging, because that is something that bothers me. Fridging is a very strange thing to complain about. Deciding that it is questionable to kill a woman to advance the plot of a man is extremely restrictive. I think that everyone should be able to tell the story they are most interested in, and if that demands the death of a daughter/girlfriend/mother, or a father/son/boyfriend, then that is completely okay. I also want to make it clear that I am not aiming at the OP with my comment, but more against the fridging term in general :-) On another note, I agree about the relationship between Vin and Elend, which worked really well, and developed both characters. I don’t generally have problems with Sandersons romances, but then again, I’m no romance guy, so that might be why.

    The problem with using the YA word is that it has a lot of different meanings. For some, YA equals bad books, with simple themes and bland characters. For others, YA is a more technical description of a genre, without any values attatched.

    @Llarimar Yup, I’m a swede (which is why I sometimes make spelling or grammar errors). It is afternoon here right now :-)

    I think Wax might be a little more careful if he becomes a father. I doubt he will want to make his kid fatherless. He’d also pay more attentions to his house, so that he doesn’t leave it in shambles like his father and uncle did for him.

    The ghanderflaffles name was very helpful when it came to Shattering stuff.

    The problem with Sadeas soldiers and Amaram is that it got too little build-up. We never got any POV from any single one of them, and whenever Amaram or Ialai confronted the main characters, they were riddiculed. The biggest weakness, and what a lot of the complaints (apart from the love triangle stuff, but that is another animal) boils down to, is that Team Sadeas got some really bad and rushed development. I don’t think that this bad development came from Brandon being a good writer, with a plan. I think that he made a mistake here, and that it is that simple. That fact doesn’t make OB a bad book, and it doesn’t make Brandon a bad author (the words Brandon and bad doesn’t really belong in the same sentence). We can of course wonder why Team Sadeas got such a bad development. Personally, I think it has to do with Brandons wish for a somewhat narrow focus. I also think that he had a lot of other stuff, with Bridge 4 or Shadesmar, that he found more interesting to write about. It would be interesting if someone could ask Brandon about his reasoning with Amaram and Team Sadeas at a signing. I would if I could, but I doubt Brandon will be coming to Sweden any time soon.

    Indeed, completely brilliant. Him and Linus Roache are fantastic in that show.
