I wonder if it's possible to have the same surge of the Knights as well as of the Voidbinders. You know, that perhaps Renarins healing is that good because he has something like a doubled surge. Like I said, no idea if it's possible, just a thought I got. I guess what speaks against it are signs showing he might be able to do Lightweaving.

All Renarin scenes. I'm serious, this book was gold already just for him, and the excitement when under part five it said "Knights Radiant" and I sped through the chapters, squealing when the Jasnah-Renarin scene started AND THE RENARIN POV! (Apologies...) The fight in Kholinar in the palace hallway. I swear, I read on frantically searching for a clue that just maybe Elokhar would return. Nearly screamed when he began the oath and same when he was interrupted. Still not over it. The moment all the Radiants met up. Before I was wondering if they might actually lose the fight and then - Bam! - Radiance in masses. Renarin walking up to the Oathgate and Teft saving the day. All the times Navani or Jasnah thought 'Bother.' Jasnah. In every way.

Oh, right. Though it still seems weird to me, but you have a very valid point. Sorry, as I said, I'm new to this...

I wanted to write fantasy so I told myself "well, gotta read some of that stuff then!". So I went into my local bookstore (small, maybe the size of my room) and asked what they could recommend. So, the woman told me of Eragon, A Song of Ice and Fire, Bartimaeus and some other book, that sounded... meh. In one corner there stood The Way of Kings so she pulled it out and we were reading the back, wondering what it might be about (german edition is not so very informative) and I read the first pages. I liked them. I wasn't overly excited, but it had a certain spark. So I bought it, together with Eragon which (shame on me) I still haven't picked up. The first 100 pages were slow. Like, it took me a month of reading in between lessons at school - until I picked it up at home one evening and started actually, as in continously reading it and it suddenly made a whole lot more sense. I read through it that day and realised there was a second part (german version...) so I bought it thinking, it was quite nice and now I want to know the ending. And, well, after screaming, crying, laughing and squealing my way through that book (I still remember how emotionally drained I was after the big battle) I bought WoR and after that Elantris, Mistborn 1, Reckoners 1 and Warbreaker all at once.

I'm rather new to this theory-making, so excuse me if this has been said before, but isn't it way too obvious to be coincidental that the Heralds left their Honorblades behind and now they're mad? Like how spren turn 'mad' when they lose their bond to a Radiant? Like I said, this probably isn't a new thought, but I couldn't really find it here, so I'm just putting it out now.

Sadeas could be quite the addition as well...

This may sound so chliché or dull or whatever, but my favorite is definitely Renarin. Yes, he is the underdog, the misunderstood, poor boy, but he deals with it in acceptance. He doesn't say "I'm going to change myself and become a great hero" neither is he being whiny about it but he simply knows of his limitation. To me, that makes him so likable and also interesting. Not to mention the question what broke him so much he became a Radiant? Due to his illness he'd be 'used' to problems, so what hit him so hard he broke? His mother? When did he bond his spren anyways? Was it when he thought his father and brother dead? OK, and maybe it's also because I often chose background characters as my favorites because you have to read every line to nitpick some information on them which is something I really love. Maybe a bit creepy... My favorite scene is by far in the end of WoK starting from when Sadeas leaves till the end of the fight. I was actually screaming, crying, laughing and doing other weird noises to a point that my mother came into my room checking on me. The second was the simple "Not you, son." of Dalinar in WoR. By the way, Dalinar is my second-favorite character for all the right reasons. Especially how he deals with his past. (And the flashbacks, like, come on...)

I agree and really think Jasnah might die, and though I don't really expect it to happen, maybe Renarin as well. With Eshonai though: Did I miss something, because I was totally convinced (and I hope this is no spoiler if I'm right) that she died? Nevertheless, one of the Kholins will surely die, that's one thing I'm quite certain about. They are such a large and tight family, that they'll have to break at some point. And using flashbacks to, for example, explain what was going on in Renarins mind, kind of sounds like a thing.
