Don't want such big emphasis on crew of Bridge 4, everyone in there is glowing/healing(if anyone can heal there is no real danger and cost for difficult choices)/flying and walking on walls, also don't want such big numbers of squires and Radiants of the same order, it's like you spend ten minutes around Radiant and here you go, you're Radiant/squire now, meanwhile there is like one Radiant each from some more interesting orders. Don't want Dalinar to be put aside in next book, especially in order to give Shallan/Kaladin more pages. Don't want any love triangle/love drama like in some YA story (not bashing on YA books). Problems between two people are fine for me. And don't want it to be shorter than Oathbringer

You are right "Shallan growled, thrusting her hands forward. Mist twisted and writhed in her hands as a brilliantly silver Blade formed there, spearing Tyn through the chest." So far i didn't find in a book/WoB explanation about this.

First question does shardblade appears in hand as a whole blade or something like lightsaber from hilt forward? If it is the first one what would happen when you put your hand in front of someone in the Shardplate and then summon the blade? Would it destroy the armor and kill the person wearing it, or something else and if the blade appears from hilt forward then it would probably push you backwards?

If you referring to mirroring then I think that I responded with that I disagree about points like Shallan=Dalinar or "Kaladin=Navani - Both share deeper connection with their love interest", even Kaladin told Syl that this was never love. As you said this are three different views but in one Adolin truly understands her and in the other only shares surface connection... And I responded with my own thoughts, some other facts from books or WoB and I try to expand on what I meant, I don't want to change your mind or opinion I just expanded on the topic and offer different perspective (perhaps it was already posted, don't know).

I'm saying it's not superficial, or it is as superficial as between Kaladin and Shallan. I meant that this argument didn't strike me as one that could be applied to Dalinar at all because he really didn't have an option of choosing between Navani and Evi. Yes. Edit to not double post: "to add one more bit of clarity. It sounds to me that you are of the camp that feel Shallan and Adolin should be together."mimicing?" In case of WoR and OB it's better fit for all three of them in my opinion, Kaladin has serious depression and he needs to deal with this himself (obviously not alone but not by getting into relationship) not "by someone else", he has lot's of friends and people close to him. So if marriage between Shallan and Adolin helps her with her own problems she can be better help to others, same with problems that Adolin have (or will have in 4 book), so yes in my opinion they should be together until as books go something happens or someone dies. "Based on that, do you have anything to add to the third theory that says Adolin understands Shallan better than Kaladin" Well he sees her as who she is and accepts her multiple personalities even if not agrees with the choices that personalities made, he also can instinctively recognize when Shallan uses Lightweaving or have some changes, while Kalladin understands Shallan because they both have tragic past and feels better when she is around same as with Tien (so not romantic relation), for the tragic past that also could add another implications when Adolin finds out how his mother died.

"Shallan = Dalinar - Choosing between two people" - Did Dalinar really choose between two people? Or just Navani choose his brother because as i remember she was bit scared of Dalinar back in his days. "Adolin = Gavilar - Both arranged marriage, nobility, clean cut. Share surface connection" Is that really surface connection between Adolin and Shallan? As from WoB "When she becomes different people, even if she's not completely Lightweaving herself, she shifts. --And he wouldn't be able to point out that he had seen that. But it's intuitive, and he's learned to recognize that." Sharing of the murder he commited and so on. Also don't the point of Adolin-Gavilar and Adolin-Dalinar contradict each other a bit? Or i'm reading into it wrong?

I'm not saying that the theories are wrong but it's an old WoB before third book was in it's final form, so when he told that "Is Adolin and Shallan going to get together, or will Kaladin and Shallan?" is a RAFO he in my opinion didn't wan't to spoil most of the Oathbringer relation between this three characters, with as even BS said "a bit of mirroring". But Oathbringer is done and we know now how it ended. I also didn't say that one couple would be good and other not but we know how it ended in OB, so when i said "not everything good needs to end as soon as it started" i meant that in order to prove Kaladin and Shallan theory the mariage would need to end in some way. I mean a lot can change in two books before time jump.

But it's WoB from Dec 2016 when Oathbringer was in the first draft, so people had perspective only from WoR about that. Also he said that it is "a bit of mimicry" so it could mean that it's just a little bit like Dalinar/Gavilar/Navani, where Navani hesitate between two brothers not full resemblance to the past. So when you read Oathbringer you find out how it ended for the three of them, obviously there will be further character development. But not everything good needs to end as soon as it started.

So it's not really mirroring because you can compare everybody to each other on some level.
