I was hoping that this would be more of Jasnah's shocking masculine behavior.

Wait what? How did I miss this detail? Women's food is sweet.

This is one of several WoBs but it is a good one. Thanks for saving me some time.

Everyone has some of every shard in them but I think that is just a throw away line.

It will take me some time to check. I will message you when/if I find the correct WoB(s)

It looks like it is coming out this September.

Try looking for some "Urithiru is a spaceship." related topics. You should find it.

Fused Raids will be problematic. This does not mean that suing Alethi lands is impossible. Their are limited numbers of fused and they can only cover so much teritory. They will also be needed in the mustering equipping and training of the singer armies. You don't need to. You just wait for their surgebinders to move in too far and then have your surgbinders kill them. Shardbearers can't hold ground. Raiding by technological or tactically superior foes is annoying and dangerous however it is not an insurmountable problem. Otherwise the vikings would have destroyed Britain completely. It will also lower moral. This does not benefit Odium. He needs at least a few victories at some point.

You did not miss anything except eventually a Brandon WoB smash(that is the academic term BTW).

Amazon now has a preview page. Aha. More White Sand intell. New question. Why can't Khriss master? Why can Baon? IE what determines suitability?

This is better. Also if they have added a preview then that means production is done correct?

Regicide does tend to draw attention to the regici(s).

Outdated and repeatedly disproven theory.

Sigh.

Maybe they supercharge the 10 oathgates and use them to move the 10 cities there.

So you like almost every SA character? Perhaps every Brandon character?

Will Khriss master? We finally have some information on WS3 and in it Kenton actually lets Khriss join(or attempt to join) the Deim. Does this mean that Khriss will be able to master sand by the end of this book? What else will we learn about Sand Mastery with Khriss there to ask appropriate questions?

True. Although it would be interesting if the back five were a post apocalyptic Roshar.

Well I can preview it now... Yay?

This is more of a practice thing. When pain has no meaning for you you likely stop feeling it.

This is a problem. I have full faith that Odium is capable of getting around it somehow. He is after all the most dangerous of the 16. My point was that this is not an adequate reason for Odium to forgo leaving. Striker presented one.

Look at Venli's inner monologue sometime. "A form of power was all she wanted" Considering that in the aftermath of Narak most of her people are dead and she does not seem particularly broken up about it. I am going to say that no. She did it for selfish reasons. She even calls herself selfish in moments of introspection. We know basically nothing about her back then other then that she was doing research and that lead her to finding Ulim. Who she sided with in a matter that effected her entire race without consulting any member of that race other then Demid. I do not find these actions sympathetic. At best they are extraordinarily arrogant. Yes! I know better then the bast majority of our race and as such will go behind their backs to do something that could have catastrophic consequences if they are right! Does not realy engender my sympathies. But Venli seems completely comfortable in stormform. Also Young!Dalinar is not a sympathetic character either. We only sympathize with him because we know what he eventually becomes and because of the genuine love he feels for his brother. I never said that Venli does not have the potential to be an interesting character. I am saying she currently is not one. Venli was pretty nasty even when not effected by Odium. Look at how she treats Dalinar who is trying to stop a war without any Odium influence at all. Sure she is scared of him and thinks war is inevitable but her first reaction is still derision. Sure fear can be interesting. My point was just that Venli is no noble free thinker. She is just a scared scholar who keeps messing stuff up hence most people disliking her. Again. I am sure that Brandon is capable of making Venli interesting. She just isn't yet.

And he would care why?

My point is that their are a verity of possible scenarios in which Odium or some kind of voidish entity escapes Roshar IE speculation can't prove or demonstrate much of anything. Claiming that Odium will be killed or imprisoned because he is the villain and because our heroes have to survive another decade does not make sense when reading Sanderson's work. Harmony is powerful but as shards go his dual nature makes actions difficult. This puts him at a sever disadvantage in combat. His corruption is black not red.

I was going to point out that she has several older brothers who would probably notice a girl showing up without her mother being pregnant.
