One of the most interesting questions is why the Oathpact is even enforceable on the Fused, since it's a pact between Honor and the Heralds. The podcast discussed how it must be related to whatever Honor+Cultivation have done to keep Odium on Braize, but I think knowing the mechanics of that will make everything about the Heralds and Fused so much easier to understand. To make the pact work at all, Honor must have already had some power over the Fused. Was it just because they were connected to Odium and Honor already had some weird control over him? Why didn't Honor use that power to seal them away somehow before the Heralds came to him? Something about his intent maybe; did he need it to be about an oath? I have no idea, but I can't wait to find out.

I'm embarrassed admit that I let you both rick-roll me... But even though I'm clearly new to the internet, I'm not new enough to the Cosmere to give my Breath away. I need that extra magic sauce %. I'll decline the cookie, too, but I have to assume I'd stop eating it before I managed to pierce my own skin? Unless it's a REALLY good cookie and I just couldn't control myself. Shallan's my favorite partially because she can't have a normal conversation without turning it into a big witty joke, and I relate to that. Vin because when she fights she is the dagger and when she loves she is the kiss, Shai because she's so proud of her work, Szeth because what do you do with all that crazy, and Taln for a certain quote in Oathbringer.

Can't believe someone would try to spike me with a cookie... Favorite character is tough, but likely Shallan. Others are Vin, Shai (loved Emperor's Soul), Szeth, and Taln!

for randomly recommending The Way of Kings about a year ago. The description didn't really sound like my thing, but I gave it a shot and was hooked before I finished the prologue. Right away the whole thing just felt so BIG. Read all four Stormlight books before learning about the Cosmere, so I spent the last six months catching up. I now recommend my friends start with Mistborn, but there's something pretty cool about starting with Stormlight and knowing there's so much you don't understand even as you read. It's been a great year of reading these books, and I'm glad to have somewhere to keep reading as I wait for new books for the first time. Don't know how else I could make it through. Thanks for having me!
