Well, before OB Eshonai could have technically been an antagonist to the main characters and I loved her. I also think that the Unmade are awesome. Odium is fantastically written, Taravangian I almost wish was successful, before the end of Oathbringer. Even Amaram before this book I respected. Basically, Oathbringer made all of the antagonists awful.

It was funny hearing you guys on DSRA. I am the brother that Kyle mentioned. Hope you had fun and thanks for lending your expertise!

That makes more sense. Where has that been brought up? Is there a diagnosing Shallan thread somewhere?

I thought it was a good episode. I do think everyone is very quickly jumping onto the "Shallan has Dissociative Identity Disorder/Multiple Personality Disorder" boat. If she truly had DID/MPD she wouldn't be aware of her other personalities. There are other diagnoses that more accurately fit her. I should probably write a post on this...

I don't know that we are going to get Venli's perspective. I feel like it would be too similar to Eshonai, and she was not obviously around, was she? I think Elhokar then Gavilar. Maybe Navani then Gavilar, to balance the genders as @Wax suggested.

I'm thinking that Jasnah is asexual. I get the thought that she might be gay, but she hasn't shown any romantic interest in anyone. As for her trauma, some of the flashbacks alluded that she was insane as a child. I'm quite curious about what exactly was going on there. Maybe it was abuse by a respected Brightlord at the time, or something else entirely.

I'm confused as to how the 8th heightening would allow you to convert stormlight? I get changing the command of invested objects, but not investeture itself. As for the spren, maybe lesser spren? I feel like sentient spren would be difficult to mess with.

Me when reading any new Cosmere release.

I just think it is great that you put this much thought into Hoid liking ramen.

I think the best action scene was in WoR The most epic scene, IMO, would either be Although that may change depending on the day.

I would agree that the avanlaches in general are great. I think the best thing about them is that so much happens you don't feel too bad about not getting the next book for a few years. You get more story development in the last 200 pages of a SA book than you do in entire volumes from other authors. I think my OB and WoR had equally good avalanches. Elantris also was pretty great, although I feel like WB might be my favourite. I think the way everything resolved was just so satisfying. Not necessarily unexpected, and maybe that is why I found it satisfying....

I am ever wary of suspicious free cookies, baked or unbaked, however pie is another thing altogether.

Hello all, My name is Reilly. I am a long time Sanderson fan as have read all of the cosmere novels multiple times, as well as the majority of Brandon's other works (just missing legion and alcatraz). I have decided to join in to discuss the fan theories, especially regarding The Stormlight Archive, that others have posted or that I have. Regarding the Cosmere: My favourite cosmere series is The Stormlight Archive. My favourite character in the series is Dalinar. In Mistborn Vin and Ham are my favorites, and Wax and Steris in the second series. My favourite Cosmere short is The Emporer's Soul. Personally, I am 25 and work in medical research and coach competitive swimming. I was at one point involved in a technology forum as a Global Mod/Admin and was on that forum's podcast. I look forward getting to know all of you.
