I personally, don't want Eshonai to become a KR and I don't think that she will become a KR. From previous books, we know that not every main character of Sanderson is almighty magical and invested. Think about it, we have 5 champions so far, mentioned in the 'prophecies' - The Assassin, The Surgeon, The Warlord, The Explorer and The Thief. (let's just ignore all the other more obvious characters like Jasnah, Renarin, Lift, Elhokar and so on..) 3 out of 5 already are moving fast at becoming full KRs. Szeth might or may not become one, but he's using Nightblood. Eshonai should simply remain a Listener and discover other forms of power unrelated to their evil gods or something like that. Main point is - too many KRs is something I am sure that Brandon will not do. What he does best is diversity. We need Listeners, soldiers, duelists , Nightblood <3, etc.. who should learn to fight their own unique ways... too many KRs viewpoints feels boring right to me...

Yes, I noticed the same. This is the most important question here imo. The two middle glyphs (which are equivalent to the Bondsmiths and Truthwatchers) are not linked to any of the surges. Why? What is so special about them?

Actually, from all the things said about why and how Szeth hasn't attracted a highspren, this is the most logical one. Thank you for the insight! Thinking about it, law and order is what actually defines the Order of the Skybreakers. The same could be said about the highspren, which could be viewed as the embodiment of law and order. If they do have a rule/law against bonding a human, then they would not go out in the Physical Realm and do it. We can safely assume that in this scenario there could be no rogue highsprens. What kind of highspren will you be if you break your own rules? Maybe someone should actually convince the removal of the law, so the highspren can go out and seek the Nahel bond with humans? Jasnah? Anyone?

I agree with most of the comments here. Red eyes, i.e. Stormform, is assumed to be of Odium, but all else could be just normal eyes. I'd go as far as to say that Listener black eyes are normal eyes for their race, which doesn't come from Odium. Anyway, the key words here are 'dark' and 'light'. The best example, Kaladin's own mother has violet eyes, but they were too dark to be considered lighteyes. And Navani has violet eyes too, but they are more light(bright) and she is considered a lighteyes. That's my simple explanation. Regarding the Radiant/bonding, we know that Szeth's eyes are dark, even after using the Honorblade and Surgebinding for Almighty-knows-how-much, so it leaves us with the only other option: Bonding to a spren (dead or alive) and keeping the bond for a while, one undegoes genetic mutation and his eyecolor changes. For a spren like Syl, you obviously have to advance in the Oaths like Kaladin. It works very slow at first, but then it's instantly. (WoR Ending 3rd Oath) For a dead spren (Shardblade) you will have to spend unknown time. It works progeressively.

I'm not really convinced about that. If we are going to talk about colors, I feel more like orange for Cultivation and purple for Odium. It seems more suitable aesthetically to me. In addition, blood color may not mean much... Actually, the only thing that it means for sure is that everything and everyone is participating in the Desolations, we just don't know their parts and sides.
