Skyeel pets I'm in.

So my younger sister made a comment on how cruel pattern was to shallan in this scene. Now, in response to my sister i made up a theory on the spot. The power that comes from the bond between the cryptic isn't so much about the truth as it is about revealing the lies and knowing herself. Jasnah is using a fake soulcaster didn't work not because it wasn't true but because she didn't deceive herself in thinking that it was a lie. kinda wondering what you all think. also unrelated to the above quote but i find it interesting to compare pattern to syl. Syl started by understanding the world and as her bond grew she understood abstract thought. Pattern started by understanding complex thought and as his bond grew he started to understand the world. syl can only be seen when she wants to be seen. Pattern can be seen whether he wants to be or not. Syl has a physical form. Pattern is a part of other objects physical form. Syl claims to be a piece of a god. Pattern claims to be part of the pattern in nature.

Also, on topic, I got the impression that it was more, one person stands out, spren come to check the validity of potential surgebinder, and talk to their friend spren. Their friend spren decide to follow them in binding to knights and so find the closest suitable candidate for the spren. I figured the skewing towards the kholin family was due to the honor Dalinar instilled in his children and also possibly his connection to the way of kings which the original knights founded their beliefs on.

yup that XD, let me edit my post a second XD

I really like the part when Adolin meets up with Shallon right after he learns about Kalidin,

Does this remind anyone of Elantris Spoiler
