Scion of the Mists

I was always a fan of the Eshonai flashbacks.  I thought it'd make a nice parallel journey, with Eshonai's rebellious youth with Venli's current activities.  

But more "cosmere mysteries" is really attractive.

Guys ... you really need. 15-20 minute version of this. Like a shardcast highlights reel. With kids running around the house and other stuff, it’s tricky to find the whole 1.5 hours to listen to it (and I was really only into cosmere... having read the SoS).

or just post the bookmarks (yes, I am lazy), so I can just drag the slider to it

I watch after the kids go to bed (and a couple of weeks delayed, clearly).  

Or, you know, never to early to get them into the Cosmere...

This struck me as why would someone do this? Why not just kill them? Spiking seems complicated and meticulous and only worth it because you're transferring powers. If it doesn't transfer powers what is the point?

How do we define "spike", would an aluminum bullet that gets lodged in the body count? Or does it have to go in and come out of the body? 

Some people are hard to kill.  Like Hoid and Surgebinders.  If the spike removes their powers, then they'd be much easier to kill.  

Anybody had any luck finding the "free download" on the Wizards website?

What I took away from this Shardcast is that there are a lot of different ways to pronounce names in the Cosmere and they're all okay.  It seemed like from previous episodes that there was just one right way and people (usually Ben) would always get corrected for doing wrong, which was troubling because my pronunciations frequently misalign with Brandon's.  

I guess I can feel good about pronouncing things the way that makes sense to me (and you can pry the hard "J" s away from my cold, dead hands...)
