His heartless murder completely deludes this argument. Alodin is very straight forward and direct (much like his father) which does not bode well for being non-judgmental. Honest yes but i fear even that may change somewhat. He may do things and appear noble but he still thinks much more of who and what he is (light-eyes prince) than a person who would do well listening. Yes he may be more than willing to listen to her but if he is upset with anyone he is about as open minded as a rock. Also the way in which Shallan describes him feels like she constantly is talking about his outward appearance but of little else. A for the rape victim quote im not feeling that requires a responds. Thats a little heavier than their being broken and requires far more than just a single person who will listen non-judgmentally. That type of trauma work is a rather poor example in comparison. My other issue with Alodin is simply my own bias. People are bothered by the trope that Shallan and Kalladin fall in but considering the one that Alodin and shallan fall in i find the latter far less bothersome. I've had enough Disney type romances shoved down my throat and another one is even more cliche than the other option. Honestly i would take anything but Alodin and Shallan if only for this reason. My only other concern is the possibility of Kalladin on his own with nobody. The noble hero who sacrifice's everything for the future of the world. Though I don't mind this scenario I feel its happened to many times. Regardless that is a long list of many possibilities at this point. Some i feel are far more out there than others but who knows. Jasnah x Kaladin is one I would be scared to even see. Mostly because I cannot imagine Jasnah with anyone unless they were either an obedient slave or shockingly as smart or smarter than her (wit?) but again who knows. Regardless i will continue to stick to my point and continue to ask the question of how shallan and kalladin are opposites instead of shallan/kalladin and Alodin are not.

I will have to politely decline the cookie as i have been so informed that it may be a dangerous trap.

Personally I feel that Shallan and Kaladin work very well. I work in the psychological field and its the similarities that work in a relationship not the differences. I see alot of people stating. Opposites attract, which is true at times, but as time goes its similarities and what is more similar that what kaladin and shallan have? Think of it like this if Shallan talks about her past and her feelings and her life to Adolin im sure he would be a very active listener and would do what he could to be there for her, But can he understand? Does he know such hardship? I feel that Adolin and Shallan are far closer to opposites than Kaladin and Shallan are. When has she disclosed really anything of herself or her life to Adolin? It almost feels more like she is leading him on than anything. Why has there been little depth in their conversations and interactions shy of her just pushing into him to kiss him? I feel like there is just not enough for them to stand on. It may happen and im reading things differently due to personal bias's but I feel Adolin is more the opposite of Kaladin and Shallan instead. Do i think the chasm's was romantic. Very little was. It was more biased on them understanding each other and throughout the entire book its probably the only time where Shallan feels she is the most real with herself and another. The one time she doesn't just hide or lie or try to be something she is not. Its the one time other than maybe with her mentor that she is truly honest about herself and her feelings. That can be a corner stone of romance but that does not mean the experience was romantic. It really does set that table though if that is the path that will be followed. Thats just what I see in it. Feel free to rip it apart and tell me im wrong or have no idea what im talking about

Im new to such sites and new to this in general. Obviously the site encouraged new members to introduce themselves so this is me introducing myself. I just finished the second book of the stormlight archives and im looking forward to the next one. Its nice to meet everyone.
