I just got to this part in OB with only having finished WB just last month. I think the evidence does definitely hint more being different paintings. Red and black vs red and white. I was really hoping it was the same painting - though it does sound at least it could certainly be the same artist right? I think the reference about being from the court of gods is just an odd thing to throw in there though — maybe just to certify it is something from Warbreaker?

Hey all, I'm about 3/4 the way through Oathbringer and I finally decided I HAD to join a forum. WAY too much stuff going on!! All the questions I have! I need theories!! Anyway - I started with Sanderson (believe it or not) from a novella written for an iPhone game - Infinity Blade. I LOVED Infinity Blade and I saw that they were making a short book around it. The first chapter or so, I really connected with the writing style. As we all know - not every writing style clicks with us. Sometimes it's too simple, sometimes too complex, sometimes it doesn't feel write. Well - Sanderson's writing style really clicked with me. The book was a really fun sequel to Infinity Blade before the next game came out. Fast forward a couple years - a friend recommends a really neat book series about being able to use superpowers by ingesting metals.... another Brandon Sanderson book!! Loved the writing, love the characters, loved the story! Fast forward probably another 4 years -- Way of Kings. Was very intimidated by the size - but decided to try it out and LOVED it!! And then about 1/2 way through the book after doing some online searching about who this "Hoid" character is I found that Mistborn and Way of Kings are connected?!?! AND there are several other books connected in the same universe?! I am loving Stormlight Archive a ton. Each of the characters are amazing. Currently I'm reading them in Audiobook format because I don't have the time anymore to do book form (Mistborn trilogy I did all paperback). Planning on reading (listening to) Mistborn again after Oathbringer - then maybe move onto Elantris or one of the others I haven't read yet in the Cosmere (any recommendations?). One final thought before I leave... How is Warbreaker not "required" reading before Oathbringer??? Whenever found out that some characters make an appearance in Words of Radiance (I think that's the first appearance) I immediately started Warbreaker before moving onto Oathbringer. Now that I'm 3/4 through Oathbringer - there are SO many references to Warbreaker! I definitely understand not needing to be required reading, but should be strongly recommended.
