Because otherwise the world he is currently in will crumble? I suppose you have read Warbreaker, if so you must be aware unless something really bad have happened from Warbreaker to Stormlight 1 to Vasher completely change his philosophy He would never see a world falling apart and don't move a finger to even give information to humans , its a 100% out of character decision for him At first I thought he was hiding because he had some kind of a ploy rolling and he needed secrecy. This chapter shows it's quite not the case he just didn't bother to tell anybody which is... odd to say the least

I didn't like much Zahel and Kaladin dialogue, it just felt rushed and out of place, just too much explanation that really depends on Warbreaker knowledge to makes sense. It would be superior if this dialogue was sparsed through more chapters rather than this lecture The fact Kaladin barely understands what Zahel was talking didn't helped the dialogue either Brandon was always very subtle when inserting Cosmere elements in Stormlight Archive and I'm aware he's trying to change it now, but he needs to find a balance, this writing was SCREAMING Cosmere awareness, rather than just teasing it. Didn't worked for me About the story itself, I hope Zahel have already shared his knowledge with Dalinar and/or Jasnah, I don't see why would him hide important information about what Fused are supposed to be

I guess it was only a expansion of what being Type 1, 2 or whatever, means. Both Returned and Spren are Type 1, meanwhile Heralds, Lifeless and The Fused are all Type 2

Jasnah is a flashback character on book 10, but if she's alive and active is yet to be confirmed. Eshonai proved a character can be dead and still being a flashback character

So far all my Stormlight Books are digital, the series was never published in my country so I've never had a chance to get a physical copy, shipping fees being excruciatingly expensive never helped either But since late 2019 Amazon started selling international books on their online store with more accessible price tags and no shipping fee! I decided to wait ROW release to buy all 4 SA books together, now one month before release it's time to decide: Hardcover or Paperback? Right now, I can get all 4 books for around 458 BRL for paperback and 753 BRL for hardcover I don't have much free money to spend, 458 BRL is already a blow on my finances, so I really appreciate your help Can you guys can provide me photos so I can decide which version I'll finally take ? Does paperback version gets all maps and illustrations? It's the main reason for me to take the physical copy

Doesn't look like any other kind of surge though. Surges humans and singers uses aren't exactly the same, his inability of transport physical objects other than himself doesn't mean he was not performing transportation

He used some kind of transportation when fighting Kaladin

Quality analysis and I think it's a real possibility

I think it's time to list all species of Fused we had named so far Shanay-im, also know as The Ones of Heavens, Surge Gravitation Mavset-im, The Ones of Masks, Surge Illumination Fannahn-im, The Ones of Alteration, Surge Transformation Nex-im, The Ones of Husks, Surge Transportation? We also know Fused who can use Abrasion, but they were not named yet Am I forgetting someone? Also, what is the surge Fused don't have access to? So far I'm leaning towards Adhesion

Soulcasting was most likely Jasnah first ability. I guess Jasnah already used transportation the same way as Venli is using now, to move some parts of her body/senses into the realm, but never fully. If that chapter was canonical, Ivory someway managed to get her into Shadesmar, but she herself couldn't do that yet My theory is that she progressed in the months she was there, that's how she gained her ability to come back. The first time we saw her shardblade was when she was back and used it to try to intimidate Hoid, at this point she was surely on her third ideal, she can get her fourth in her Oathbringer war scene

Raboniel concern about Dalinar is understandable, as he is a Bondsmith and his powers include the ability to trap spren including the Unmade Her concern about Jasnah is yet to be understood, as much as Jasnah is by far the deadliest Soulcaster in the world (and most likely the only one Elsecaller in human army) I don't think soulcasting alone is what is troubling her. She specified Jasnah oaths might be advanced enough to push through suppression fabrials. Is this in any way related to her order, or is just a assumption her oaths are indeed stronger (4th ideal)?

The question about Jasnah is if she is so advanced in her words, why was her so unused to transportation (If I'm not mistaken, it was her first time fully elsecalling) in her removed chapter from Words of Radiance? Was that chapter non-canonical? Because it was most like a reaction of someone who was only in her second ideal, while se sworn third one right before come back to physical realm That's said, she choosing to not kill Renarin really looks like a fourth (or at least third) ideal scene

That's what I was thinking. The other candidate must be Shallan

Another wholesome chapter This has been by far the hottest part 1 in the series so far, just too much stuff happening

They are the benchmark for the ultimate level of radiance, kinda

Adolin has every characteristic to be dislikable for me rich, audacious, pampered, handsome, convinced and inconsequential And yet he's just so lighthearted and kind, I just can't stop myself from loving him

Yes, finally some Venli Neat chapter. Refreshing to see the Willshaper order born among the Singers and not humans Maybe other spren are willing to give the singers a chance to fight against Odium? So far we didn't see any human Stoneward and the only Elsecaller is Jasnah, maybe those orders can give the singers a chance

I just didn't saw it coming in any way. Storms Sanderson, this is the most fast paced first arc you ever wrote, I'm still processing everything that happened in just 10 chapters Poor Kaladin I feel how shocked he is being demoted, Dalinar you are incredible, you are the only one who can be that heartless because you understand and cares for what it better for others There is an actual chance that Kaladin is still in group 1, but he's the main character with few viewpoints (Navani, Venli and other being the members of group 1 with many viewpoints)

Edit: Nevermind, I just lost the chapter number count

I'm sorry but I can't help but find this Kaladin again boring and uninteresting. I like the character, but I never could really get into his arc and again it's just not happening. Maybe it's a problem on me, I can't empathize enough with depressed people to get enough involved to a narrative that is mainly about that Navani POV though was neat, anyone else here thinking Axies is writing her ? Aimians seems to work to preserve spren, that's why they keep shards and fabrials distant from humans As for Shallan, good to know she won't create another persona and she's thinking on break up with Ghostbloods. So Ialai was discovering Ghostbloods were an alien organization with veins in other planets, how much Cosmere aware will Shallan become after this book? Curious to discover Again no Venli this week

Venli please

Quality theory, take my upvote Anyone else entered in this thread thinking this was a discussion about how we fans are addicted to Stormlight Archive ?

The scene of Renaring exploding the room with light and warming Kaladin was almost poetic Very good job Sanderson

Adolin calls Nale by his true name, rather than Nalan as vorinism teaches

It's just for me or Shallan thinks: I think this is a typo, Battar is the correct Herald's name, Vorinism calls her Battah
