  1. Wow I never thought this would see the light of day! Really interesting to see confirmation that dragons can take human form in the Cosmere. Definitely seeing the Sho Del as a natural progression from Fain life...Hopefully we get more, but thinking we won't get much. Even though a lot of stuff got poached to make Stormlight, there's bound to be tons of spoilery late game Cosmere stuff in here.
  2. This wins the internet.
  3. Oh you booger. lol
  4. Aw shucks! *shuffles feet*
  5. Having these chapters release early has been a great thing, but if there's one downside for me it's the intensification of all the shipping nonsense. I mean come on guys I don't really see Brandon making this particular relationship (either way) a giant plot device. So trust he'll work it out in a way that is true to his characters and enjoy the ride.
  6. I'd rather not have too much unresolved tension or drama having to do with the secret societies. I know they're a somewhat important plot device, but I feel like it would be easy to get lost in the weeds there.
  7. Correct. I'm assuming it's something to do with the Heralds or their virtues.
  8. This is going to be my next band name. I foresee much drama upon her family's arrival. Nothing like secret society involvement to stir things up and make people hide stuff from others they care about.
  9. I'm not entirely comfortable with the whole "white savior" thing. I understand that it's a trope, but what you say here is like someone saying "You don't have to be black to play the part of black slave." There's a definite negative connotation as opposed to the idea of fostering empathy between two completely different groups. Just because it's a trope doesn't mean that reaching out across racial lines to understand and empathize with others is some sort of superiority complex.
  10. Yeah I'm getting mixed signals on the Adolin blade thing. There is what you posted, but then just a few paragraphs down there is this: " His blue eyes were alight, and Shallan loved seeing that glow from him. Almost like Stormlight. She knew that passion—she’d felt what it was to be alive with interest, to be consumed by something so fully that you lost yourself in the wonder of it. For her it was art, but watching him, she thought that the two of them weren’t so different. " As well as various other little tidbits sprinkled throughout. I leaning towards Adolin getting past the silliness of swords being alive.
  11. Zahel doing something Warbreaker-y, perhaps Awakening something with a Rosharan witnessing. Hoid being Hoid-y and revealing a couple more Cosmere tidbits. Some sort of Unmade revelation/appearance.
  12. Constipationspren
  13. Brainfartspren
  14. Also I found the covers for the first two books in the same style.
  15. I don't know that anyone knows for sure who it is.
  16. So I was just trolling around Amazon and noticed this. Anyone have any thoughts?
  17. I think we all know the silly spren I'm rooting for.
  18. “So maybe you could do that,” Kaladin said. “Find little, uh, bits of the wind? Or of Honor? Shape them?” This is the spot we're talking about. Saying "shape them" is just one little step away from saying "shape them into shardplate".
  19. I always picture Taln as Mitsurugi from the Soul Caliber games. I have to conciously readjust every time I think of him. I think maybe if I just associated that image with Zahel I'd be better off?
  20. Beardspren will soon be canonized. Just you watch.
  21. I think you meant "pay-Rayse".
  22. Ah I can see it now. A Rosharan Reservoir Dogs standoff.
  23. I think the timing is a bit more unknown as far as Taln showing up before the Parshendi rediscovered stormform. It's unclear how long Eshonai's sister knew about it before it actually happened.
  24. I don't know what he's up to but I pity the fool who underestimates him.
