The brief interaction between him and Sazed in the epigraphs has me longing for the inevitable future scene where they directly talk with each other. Sazed is among the more powerful beings but is hamstrung by his shards and lack of information. I'm curious if more information from Hoid would make him more likely to be able to overcome the nature of his shards and be more proactive.

Wisdom sounds like a concept that would be a shard that hasn't been represented yet. I suspect we'll see Survival as a combined shard name at some point. Kelsier isn't done yet.

hah, I had the same thought as I was typing up my original reply.

I am reasonably sure that both Kaladin and Jasnah aren't destined for any romantic relationships in the near future. They're both sort of broken at this point and need to fix themselves before they can form a real attachment with someone. I would reckon that we aren't going to see a romantic relationship begin/develop among the main cast without the book being focused on one of the two people in the relationship. I'd bet money on Lift with Kaladin in the back 5 (not a lot of money, but more than even odds). If I had to pick between established characters, I'd guess that Jasnah would be with Lyn or Rysn. However, I think Jasnah will end up more like Elizabeth I.

I think it is pretty clear that Venli is the traitor. She is a radiant within Odium's forces and she has the ability to display herself as both a radiant and a voidbringer depending on need. Depending on perspective, Traitor isn't actually a negative thing.
