I think the main problem with Trell being autonomy comes from characterization present in BoM. Based on what we see in the book, the faction values logic, order, and controlling the world around them to an almost obsessive degree. In this, they are hypocritical; they chafe at their limitations, but want to control everyone else. Furthermore, the agent of Trell who confronts Suit dispassionately discloses that they are changing their plans to exterminating life on Scadrial because they are growing too difficult to predict and control- this in particular seems contrary to the idea of Autonomy. For that matter, it doesn't feel very much like Odium either- if anything, Dominion (though he is dead) is the closest fit of known shards in my opinion. Even the names used in their cult stinks of an obsession of making sure everything is accounted for and controlled- set, suit, series, sequence, array, etc. Additionally this is thematically opposite to Harmony's hands-off approach to parenting Scadrial which has been getting a lot of attention in the story; these guys are the other extreme, meddling in and trying to micromanage everything. Pretty much all of their members have strong rejections of the idea of some things being out of their control. Suit, for example, goes into denial. Even when he is completely helpless and at the mercy of another, he tells himself he is finding an advantage, doing something productive. When Sequence reached the age where she understood her own mortality, she rejected the idea. The Array with the limp similarly was obsessed about avoiding death. And Miles.... Miles seems broken. Like a postman snapping over the idea of a never ending burden, he looked for an alternative solution. I'm not really sure at all what Trell is... but my best guesses are a shard we haven't seen, some kind of rogue embodiment of a piece of Harmony, or a whoopsie-daisy collateral effect of something Kelsier and Lestibourne did.

Wax/Wayne all the way for me. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I find Vin/Elend emotionally exhausting. Wax's relationship with Steris is more my speed haha.

Kaladin himself does acknowledge his running out of stormlight is likely due to to inexperience. Someone who has had thousands of years of practice would likely not only be better at it, but would have encountered every logistical problem imaginable, and had more than enough time to ponder each of these problems for a few centuries, as well as implement whatever solutions he came up with. He could have a network of stormlight caches set up around the entire continent, maybe even with gemstones large enough to hold substantial stormlight through times like the weeping- we don't know. What I do know however, is that if I had the ability to fly with a resource constraint and an immortal lifespan, I would spend A LOT of time thinking my way around stormlight and visibility issues. This is something Kaladin hasn't been privy to yet. We also don't know for certain if the stormlight leeching problems of honorblades applies to their rightful owners. If fabrials are involved I think it most likely to be a lightweaving fabrial, as oathgates strike me as the transportation fabrial and most of them are locked at the moment.

The red eyes and the history of people comparing Dustbringers to Voidbringers could be a cool plot development, especially considering to me Adolin is the most likely candidate for a nascent Dustbringer. Their herald, Chanarach, is referenced as having raced Fleet, which seems to match Adolin's competitive nature in dueling. He has also been referred to as a firebrand and has a temper. I can totally see an Adolin plot developing around him discovering his powers while dealing with the guilt of murder; with that guilt forefront in his mind coupled with a growing inferiority complex based on his father, brother, betrothed, and rival all being Radiant, how might he interpret gaining red eyes and the ability to melt stone? Perhaps by thinking himself some kind of Voidbringer abomination.

Occam's razor would make me assume he is simply using access to the surge of gravitation to fly around. I doubt it would be difficult for him to remain unseen and conserve stormlight efficiently considering thousands of years of experience. He can fly above clouds, and I get the vibe that there are quite a lot of sparsely populated paths he could take in Roshar. Not to mention, if someone on Roshar spotted a speck of light flying so far above that they can't make out a shape, they'd likely assume it was some kind of strange spren like a starspren. Plus we already have another character that has spent a book flying all over Roshar killing people....

From Rock's story, he asserts that the shardpool is a small part of the Horneater ocean at the bottom of the reservoir, so the Purelake's enormity doesn't preclude there being a shardpool somewhere inside of it. Also, the presence of the 17th shard pursuers supports the theory as it would be a good reason to think Hoid has passed through the area.

From what Honor says in the visions, I suspect Odium is a very, very, very careful antagonist. If I remember correctly, Honor suggests that making Odium believe there is at least a minuscule possibility of defeat is key into making him agree to some kind of contest of chosen champions. Rayse likely prefers to wait for a sure thing considering time is nothing to him, and to Roshar a stalemate is preferable to annihilation.

Syl mentions in her regressed state that all of the knights were 'broken.' Their coping mechanism for not completely shattering from their hardship is likely what determines what spren are attracted to them; Shallan's lies attracted the cryptics, Kaladin becomes determined to protect people after Tien's death, and Dalinar tries to unite Alethkar after the death of his brother. It's probably important to remember that evidence suggests there are exceptions: Lift appears to have been selected based on her interaction with the Nightwatcher as well as her youth, and was also apparently chosen by the consensus of the Edgedancer spren.

I thought it was pretty obvious that Elhokar is seeing cryptics("I see their faces in mirrors. Symbols, twisted, inhuman"), so wouldn't he be a more likely candidate for the second Lightweaver? Elhokar also has several powerful Truths he needs to come to terms completely with before he can start growing in a positive way: I'm a bad king I'm a coward I'm not the man my father was
