Brackcha

Also note that at one point shall an talks about some texts saying that there are ten unmade and others saying nine, if on was a potential bond smith Spren wouldn't it make sense if it were confused with the unmade?

I agree cultivation is about growing I think she would care less about destroying what she is then growth. If you graft a branch onto a tree it doesn't protest because it is like instantaneous growth and odium might change cultivation but it would certainly cause her to grow. Combined they might be something like domination? Maybe invaision?

I kinda wonder if we might he sja-Anat as the third one for each shard. She seems almost in appearance like a deadeye and- correct me if I'm wrong- there was a mention of her sometimes leading the voidbringers putting her a step above the other unmade possibly on the same level of storm father and night watcher

I was there too! I asked if a Larkin was to try and drain stormlight from a voidbringer what would happen and I got RAFO'd (got a card) and during the signing I asked if we would see Rysn in future books and he said she has an interlude in oathbringer

I was figuring I might ask about the interactions between a Larkin and a voidbringer thoughts?

Yeah I emailed them and they gave me a similar response. I think the Saturday will be better for opportunities to do Q&As right? With the Guest of Honour hour and all?

Awesome! Thanks for the info! Do you know if he will be doing signings/Q&A all three days? Or will that be on a specific day?

I'm planning on going to Ad Astra to see Brandon. Does anyone know what day(s) he will be there? Thanks

I don't think that the cover is overly sexualized. I think the illustrator just went for a traditional "heroic" pose that just looks cool and flashy and isn't overly practical you see it often and I see this one as no different than the other covers. The only thing that sparked a controversy was the characters gender and the genres problem with its portrayal of that gender. I like the art though I agree the formatting ruins it but pinning it on the illustration seems wrong to me the format is what makes Jasnah so front and centre not necessarily the illustration

Welcome to the shard! Anyway I think that ability to sever bonds doesn't make sense since honor seems to be all about bonds and surgebinding is (partially) his magic system. Even if it didn't conflict with honor I think it would be a tad over powered as either one could unbond voidbringers easily then finish them off. It seems more likely to be the opposite of regrowth rather than something that severs bonds

Unless I'm mistaken it's weight that causes planets to have gravitational pulls so could weight compounders who had stored enough weight gain their own gravitational pull and mess up planets? Like could a person in mistborn era 3 take a rocket ship into space then make their own planetary sling and hurl their own planet out of the cosmere? Or better yet into other planets?

Well that was kind of a depressing chapter. I still personally think Kaladin will summon his blade to defend himself and his eyes will go back to being light, then Laral will see him and think he got a shard blade for her (as she seemed to be encouraging him to do in the flashback chapters in Wok) and there will be an embarrassing scene with Laral being all excited and stuff

Isn't there speculation that some of the heralds are from other worlds? If this is true all it would take is one of the soulcasting heralds (shallash or bethab) to be off-world and aluminum could have been made.

Found another interesting excerpt:"so melishi retired to his tent and resolved to destroy the voidbringers upon the next day, but that night did present a different stratagem, related to the unique abilities of the bondsmiths; and being hurried he could make no specific account of his progress, it was related to the very nature of the heralds and their divine duties, an attribute the Bondsmiths alone could address." The heralds where created by the shards no? So could them speaking to the shards not make sense in this application?

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Dalinar not sure though and about the little spearman in the distance I have no idea

He did go after them didn't he? Wasn't he the "man with the strange birthmark"(or something like that) who dropped Kaladin & Shallan into the chasms?

I was reading through WoR and I noticed the chapter 44 epigraph said there where only 3 bond smiths. And storm father had previously said he was honor's spren could that mean that each bond smith bonded one of the shards godspren? Another interesting bit is that their trait is pious. All together it makes me think the bond smiths could commune with the shards and tell them to make more splinters smithing bondable spren does this make sense?

I kind of thought the truthwatcher spren looked like life spren (little glowing balls) sort of like how Syl looks like a wind spren.

I'm new so if this has already been discussed please tell me but could kelseirs link to physical realm be the spear head TLR impaled him with? Could that have stolen his allomancy and let him regain his powers? The bands being the spearhead that TLR is holding seems just so suspicious.....
