Gorgoeus So far best Stormlight cover even better than Way of Kings

Way of Kings - I took sometime because I didn't like Kaladin's plot at and still by far the most boring Stormlight Arc for me. In other hand Shallan and Dalinar were great, combined with the intriguing interludes and an awesome world building were what keep me going. I was only learning english too I think, so it took me something over 2 months to finish everything. Words of Radiance - 3 to 4 weeks, my english wasn't good yet, but it was improving. Plot wise it's way more dynamic and linear than Way of Kings, which helps to make experience more engaging, and the interludes were even better (Lift, Rysn, etc) Oathbringer - Around one week. I was reading over 10 chapters a day, spending from 3 to 5 hours every day reading because I was truly obsessed

I'm so dense, I spent the last 4 days thinking the spoiler board has been deleted lol

From chapters 7 and 8 readings I guess we aren't getting a Venli POV until chapter 10 at least

This really gives me the (refreshing) feeling each SA arc will be a complete arc. The secrets has been progressively uncovered, and power levels are fasting scaling. I didn't expect a fight like that in the first SA arc, but I'm grateful that Sanderson is giving it to us. Waiting over 10 years for the second arc to see a "true" Desolation war would be really frustrating

I really think he meant second ideal. To Windrunners you need a Honorspren to bond before swearing to protect those who can't defend themselves

By Full Knights, Kaladin meant Windrunners who speak at least the second ideal?

You're fast

Personally, I liked it a lot. Remember me Mistborn 3

Interlude's Hoid letters suggest Hoid is working against Rayse. But you got a point, Rayse might be Hoid's biggest enemy I still not seeing how is Hoid supposed to cheer and specifically looking for a girl who is doomed to be a Odium's champion. I guess is actually quite the opposite If anything by bet for an Odium's champion would be Renarin. He was arbitrarily cited as an important role by the Diagram, in the middle of a conversation between Odium and Taravangian. I don’t think it was there purposeless

No, Shallan is a character that I'm 100% sure won't turn to Odium's side The reason is clear: Hoid He sympathizes and admires her as if she knew something about her since childhood and this guy has a tendency to be correct And Rayse is Hoid ultimate enemy

It don't answer my question. Summon stormlight for what purpose? Storlight is a incredible fuel, Bondsmiths powers aren't for combat

What is the point in summoning stormlight to use a surge that is not even suited for battle? Bondsmiths are arguably the weakest order in combat. They don't even wear a blade, their powers are from a different nature compared to warlike orders

Is there any confirmation dead shards (blade or plate) glow by their original orders colors? Like Elsecallers blade will glowing teal and Willshapers glowing purple Sanderson don't particularly emphasis on radiants blades color description, only on their shape

I will understand power as proficiency in surge-binding, not exactly who would "win" a direct battle As for Outhbringer, Shallan was the most powerful one. Girl drove off an Unmade, she's a wonderful surgebinder and the fact she bonded while a child only make it even greater. Her Lightweaving is crazy powerful, and the fact she lowkey already have her Plate (though seems that only Radiant has access to it) Jasnah is a tough call. Her Soulcasting is just as mindblowing as Shallan Lightweaving, and unlike Shallan (who is mostly a unskillful soulcaster) Jasnah is already average elsecalling, she can transport herself into and out Shadesmar. I just don't give her the crown yet as I don't know what words she spoke exactly. Radiants progress is about personal growth, and we don't know how well is Jasnah doing this. From her unreleased chapter in Words of Radiance transporting herself into shadesmar looks like it was her first time, I don't know As for RoW, I believe Dalinar have mastered his Bondsmith powers, if it's really the case, then he's the most powerful one. He literally opened a perpendicularity, and: So, if I have to make a shot: 1) Dalinar 2) Shallan 3) Jasnah

She was eleven

Her next truth and probably last ideal (I'm terrified, I've killed dad, I've kill mom and let dad take the blame) is something about the nature of her powers She was speaking ideas and light-weaving since her childhood. It's not exactly expected for children to make Nahel Bond The are things about her family we don't know yet. Hoid seems specially interested on her since always. There must be something important about her for Hoid find her since her childhood. Pattern said he choose her family because of their lies. Which lies? And she knows that, probably her mom told her so

Just read if you are reading ROTW chapters and spoilers:

I think there must be misconception here. This is what amazon synopsis reported: The currently bonded honorspren are probably younger ones, born after the recriance. The most of Honorspren were born before recriance, including the ones who have bonded before, and they still don't trust humankind and are afraid to help in this Desolation It might not really be a reflection of Kaladin's (or anyone) mistakes

I really hope it's Venli's chapter

I always thought Shallan 4th/5th truth as something about her present self that she can't handle yet Like the fact she is an actual ghostblood and enjoy not having a proper allegiance She's my favorite character, but I'm quite done with her past. It's not nice, narratively speaking, to have her past presented the second book only to keep a very big detail missing (a detail that seems more important to her than the fact she actually kills her mom) Whatever she's refusing to accept, I'm really hopping us to discover as soon as possible

Is this a hint she might be close of her 4th or even 5th ideal?

SA5 writing will start on January 2022, according to himself: Unless he delays the start of his writing It will be released in late 2023, I'm sure of this. He has the story completely outlined already, he spent a good time of ROW specifically creating a plot to only develop in the SA5. If anything I won't be surprised if this will be the book the writes the fastest These are the books he's planning to release in the break from the SA arcs: - Elantris trilogy - Mistborn third trilogy - Nightblood I'm actually thinking Elantris trilogy is the hardest here. Elantris is his first cosmere work and is almost 20 years old. Sel is a main system with the least information and worldbulding, but still a focus point of cosmere, he needs to spend some time here. I won't be surprised if he releases 3 and not 2 Elantris sequels Mistborn third trilogy is already a working in progress. Second quadrilogy was make to help him with worldbuilding and to "test" the ideas of the third trilogy. I'm sure in a matter of 4 ou 5 years he will finish the trilogy for good. So with that in mind, there is not way for Nightblood come out before 2030. It can take as long as 2035, because I have a slightly filling he will release something either a standalone novel or whatever, about other shardworlds during the break of SA arcs 1 and 2. In reality Nightblood look very attached with SA arc 2, so I won't be surprised if it ends being the book released immediately before SA arc 2

Elsecallers is Janah's order. They bind Inkspren and can use the surges of transportation and transformation We don't have any stonewards in the history, but they are Talenel's order and can use cohesion and Tension. We suspect/theorize their spren are the Peakspren mentioned by Syl in her interlude

Yep
