Going to be heading down in about an hour. Any questions anybody wants asking?

I'm going. Was there at the last one, too. It's a pretty large bookstore. Plenty of room and seating, but I would still probably want to get there early. Store also stays open past closing as he draws such a large crowd.

Oooh, what if Mraize is part of the hidden radiant order and that is why he can sense her?

We still don't know what his boon and curse are. Forgetting Evi could be the boon, or it could be the curse. But what I think is that whatever the opposite of forgetting Evi is (boon/curse, curse/boon) is no longer valid for some reason, thus the forgetting Evi is no longer valid. Like the flip side of a coin no longer being so the coin itself is no longer being.

Maybe that is what killed Honor. Affecting the spirit web of an entire species probably took a lot of power, maybe they used the honor blades that are bound to honor to use his power, or some other mechanism, and the end result is it killed him.

The Graphic Audio version has the altered softcover ending.

I've always wondered how much of Preservation actually went into the humans of Scadrial. And if more people means weaker Preservation, and if so, how many people would there need to have been born on scadrial before this became a problem. Additionally, what happens to that part of Preservation that went into humans when they die. Does it go to the beyond with them? Does this mean that Preservation is being eroded away forever? And if in may eons of people being born, will there be no longer any Preservation left and the people being born will be mindless/souless/what-have-you?

What I want to know is as constellations have to be viewed from one point/location, where are we viewing this map from? And what culture made out the constellations from the random patterning of the stars from this location?

Could the 3 of 16 actually be no reference to beings, but the 3 planets? Ashyn, Braize, and Roshar? Brandon always RAFO's when asked about the other planets in the system. Maybe they were all one society/sytem until something happened in the past and how only the "broken one" rules the system.

So I just at this moment had a though and wondering if it has merit. Could Adonalsium itself be a shard/splinter of something bigger. Mayhaps that "God Beyond". I'm wondering because the Cosmere takes place in a single dwarf galaxy with all the shards within it. And adding all the shards powers together doesn't seem like it would be enough to be powerful enough to span an entire universe's "power of creation", just enough for the Cosmere galaxy and it's couple handfuls of planets. So mayhaps Adonalsium and it's opposite are sort of like Ruin and Preservation. Splinters of something bigger that are opposite intents. 16 shards / intents > Adonalsium Adonalsium + opponent + possibly others > Something else. What are your thoughts?
