It’s funny, I jumped on this feed because I truthfully haven’t finished the book and just wanted to see if Shallan gets some of her stuff together before the end of the book. I really am not invested in either “love story” because I am not sure they are well developed at this point to even really be considered that. Even though I’m not all the way through I am through enough to not feel like the love stories at this point in the series have enough emotional weight behind them to make them feel central to the story. I really do find Shallans character to be interesting just for the sheer fact that she is so severely broken. I want to see her really take control of herself a bit more instead of constantly fracturing parts of her personality/personalities. It is like a conscious form of schizophrenia that I find both fascinating and disturbing. We have a long way to go in this series and time to really deal with how Shallan will grow as a character but the further she down the rabbit hole she goes the less I have patience with it. Now I don’t expect her to magically have an epiphany one day and be cured but it would be nice to see she at least is on the road to recovery a little but from what I have gathered here it looks like not so much. Which is a little discouraging but since she really isn’t my favorite character will not stop me from reading the rest. I am actually pretty relieved she doesn’t get with Kal.
