Welcome to the club!! Great answers and thoughts!

I think it's important to recognize that Kal is constantly struggling to see what's right in front of his face. He's complex in a lot of ways, but he ends up falling into many of the "traps" that we as readers are screaming for him to avoid. Though that makes him an endearing hero, it also means that he's more likely to miss the opportunity to expand sometimes. And for storms sake, he'd better say the 4th Oath in the next book! Also, I think the relationship with him and Syl will be where he truly expands in the next couple books. By far my favorite Radiant/Spren tandem. 

Welcome! Great thoughts/comments! 

I am 100% a Windrunner myself. Though Skybreaker is a close 2nd!

Welcome! Dustbringers are a solid class!

Welcome! Kaladin is as wonderful choice. What Radiant class do you think you’d be most suited in?

I mean specifically from a fan perspective. who prefers one series over another?

Is there a Stormlight vs. Mistborn argument? Anyone have thoughts on that? I’m more curious than anything else. I read SL first, does that sway people, especially those who’ve read the entire cosmere arc?

I would expect her to be trying as hard as she could to be helpful for Adolin's sake if nothing else, and I would expect her to know things that would be helpful enough to outweigh any issues caused by her trauma. It'd expect issues in that regard to be interpersonal in nature.

And I think it would absolutely have a huge effect on spren relations with humans particularly if she and Adolin could find the time to travel through Shadesmar and talk to them. Admittedly, Adolin is going to have a lot of demands on his time.

I couldn’t agree more. I know that there’s definitely a desire for some spren to bond, and her actions displayed this. As Syl and Pattern have both explained, they are less themselves when unbound. 

Yeah, he killed me through that first book. 

That's a close one for me. Murtagh and Eragon are pretty close. Although Eragon annoyed me at first. lol

That's a good one. can't go wrong with Eragon. 

I loved the Kingkiller Chronicles, I am longing for that third book. Apparently it’s close (again). Also been re-reading the Dark Tower Series, but I find myself less engaged since reading Stormlight. The Dagger and the Coin was decent! As was the Legend series. 

You?

Imagine the implications if she revives? I mean, what does that do to the Oathpact and the spren involvement? I personally think that she could/would make things incredibly hard for the group due to her potential trauma, but it would make for an interesting twist! I love the fact that she engaged, that changes everything. And I always root for Adolin, because you just have to, even Kal does. Hahaha

Hahaha! Isn’t that always the case! There are a few characters in literature that I’m tied to, regardless of opinion! Totally get that. 

I am so excited to read about Kelsier! Seems to be a common fave around these parts!

Jeez, that’s a tough one. I am super partial to Kaladin for so many reasons. Dalinar definitely jumped way up in my all time rankings during Oathbringer, I think his development has been insane. I love Wit (Hoid) and I am specifically reading other works to see how he fits into the Cosmere. But the character I am most excited about it Szeth. I feel as though his arc is going to be pivotal to things moving forward. I loved how he struggles (like many of the characters) but his oath in Oathbringer was spectacular. 

Yours?

All good and thank you for the warning! Looking forward to having people to talk about the books with!

Hey all,

New here. Loved the Stormlight Archive and I’m starting the Mistborn series now. Glad to be a part of the community.
