A 1.1 million word stormlight book sounds kind of hard both to read and to write. Back at 82%(where it belongs)! Either he fixed the website or he wrote another 700,000 words.

Ish. We are not really clear on this and neither(as far as I can tell) is Brandon really. Aon Tai seems to work a bit like this.

Spensa's grandmother says that she "was the ship's engine." We also know that Spensa herself can teleport a ship.

This seems about right. I think that in this case perhaps the peace was really just a rearmament phase. Essentially neither side had the upper hand so they both stopped with the intention of finding a weapon that would put things back in their favor. The other possibility is that the amount of cytronics and radio and AIs summoned a delver or a bunch of them and that it laid waste to everything thus temporarily stopping the war so that both sides could have a rebuilding phase. For this I think both sides are likely researching delvers in a delver arms race type deal. The humans fail spectacularly and this kicks off war number 2. Things get destroyed very badly again. I think your right in this being a more information based kind of war. The humans are spread out and no longer have a central organization to strike at so they gather information and allies. This fails as well although I am not sure how or why. Perhaps they are betrayed? Perhaps people like Vapor are involved.

But also some kind of cooking song for earlier in the album when we first meet him.

Welcome!

Many of us have read both now. What do you think? Has the quality improved remarkably? Is it just not quite as good? Are you horribly betrayed?

The slugs are all trained to teleport away when stolen IE if they don't receive specific stimuli at appropriate times. I don't think the Defiant had any slugs. They used Spensa's great grandmother remember? Wound't this make them more aggressive? He also has access to more pilots and better fortifications then she did. Agreed.

M-bot mentions that he uses cytonics to increase his processing speed. This is why Spensa can "hear" him sometimes. They are also hate information being transmitted. This happens a lot in AIs of any kind. They don't. They just have so many cytonics that they tend to be a big problem for humans. As to why Spensa could do her thing I personally think it has to do with her compassion and understanding of aggression. They have different specialties because they are different people with different gifts. No idea realy. We still don't know much about delvers. I personally doubt it. As to early human cytonics you can read Defending Elysium on Brandon's website for some intell on them. I personally think that in this case the superiority government is telling the truth. We did see one called after all.

What do you mean by manifesting?

Thank you

What are the guidelines for discussing it other then the obvious(spoiler tags)?

At least one. We know Odium has splintered 5 shards but we only know 4(Honor, Ambition, Dominion, and Devotion).

We know very little about Threnody. It is possible the evil has attacked more then once.

The latest newsletter just released chapter one's rough draft.

I think Vax is its own shardworld from the way Khriss talks about it.

Anyone know why it says 29% for some of us?

Same, anyone know whats up?

Sure

In the books she makes herself in better shape and puts a window back together after breaking it.

I agree with you.

Sure at the savantism level variations in skill are possible. However soulcasters at the base level do not require much of any practice also Kaza never indicated she learned that skill anywhere she sort of picked it up over time.

Yes. Ham should be a women. I agree. In my prose version I did the gender change by making edits as I read(I had read GN first and I thought making her a man was weird).

For what?
