  1. Not romantic in the lovey sense but romantic in the sense that she fills the emotional role of wife or partner in his life.
  2. The first time was hard but when I reread it I found myself liking it much more.
  3. I was not attempting to express anger I was asking for clarification.
  4. Unfortunately their are no pokemon on Roshar
  5. Mmmm I think Dalinar will actually be stepping back in book 4. Another lead would make sense. Adolin perhaps? Or could we elaborate more on another character like Renarian or Lift? I do think that you are right to exclude Jasnah as she and Shallan have not yet worked out their trust issues. I think the obvious third is Timber Doesn't Jasnah have to do Queen work now? I know she is pretty incredible but she can't travel the world and govern at the same time and I don't think Ash is in a condition to do much of anything. Also I am not sure she would leave Taln. Perhaps a Lift and Gawx? (Would love it.) Or maybe they are isolating Reinarain and Glys and they can interact only indirectly?
  6. Sooooo accurate. I will point out that a large number of people were responsible for making him this way. I still think a good few punches early in his career might have made him less of a ********. Am I wrong to think you can beet decency into people?
  7. Are they? Misery loves company, pity has some pretty wild parties, and discretion and valor have been together for quite some time now. Humans personify so doesn't that mean that the personifications engage in human like activities?
  8. The scouring
  9. Hmm I think it actually either came after or was much better recorded.
  10. Can I get a link?
  11. 4%!!!! So exiting!
  12. Hmmm perhaps their are spren who deny visitors access? Travel to and from Shadesmar was forbidden by Honor and it is possible he could have tasked spren with guarding the location. Also the only Rosharans who could get to Shadesmar easily are the Radiants who may be allowed. Or perhaps something about Aimia makes the shadesmar region dangerous?
  13. Sure Amaram could have been a good person. The reason he is not is that he chose not to be one. Yes if someone like Kaladin had been his commander I think that he could have amounted to a great man but that is just a could have. Amaram's main problems and the causes of his villainy are (I think) twofold. Firstly his narcissism. Time and time again he refuses to believe that anyone else can be as good as him or that he is in any way inadequate. The second is his uncontrolled passion. The belief that he must do everything he can to achieve what is right. If a parental figure had done what every commander does on the first day and beet him down to the point where Amaram had lost then his impulses could have been channeled productively. Instead of an uncontrolled zealot looking to prove himself the best hero ever he could have been an OK commander and a genuinely decent human being. This did not happen because the only people that did surround him seem to be encouraging him to indulge his impulses. Gavilar encouraging a mach between him and Jasnah, Sadeas pushing him to battle, the sons of Honor using him as a primary leader? Come on! Its like they are trying to maintain his delusions of grandeur! Will no one take him to task about his failings ever?
  14. I don't think he is a full scale shard like Ruin, Preservation or Honor. I think he is a bit of sentient investiture that was created before the shattering by the big A himself.
  15. I wish for all of Brandon's work to be set to rights
  16. With more Radiants it might be much easier considering the shear number of shardblades
  17. Hero's journey incredibly old and it spans most cultures. Lucas based Star Wars off a book called The Hero With 1000 Faces.
  18. Seems reasonable.
  19. I love Clone Wars. Hope that we get Ahsoka's origin story and walkabout! I did not like TLJ it felt wired like they were overburning good materiel and the plot did not feel cohesive. Also Rose why was she there exactly? And the bravos and the conflicting messages, and Luke mocking the force. Sigh. I never thought Star Wars was supposed to be original or different. The first one had the most cliche plot ever and we all loved it anyway. That being said I hope they do better next time.
  20. Roshar's most important feature is the highstorm which are incredibly dangerous and drop crem. Most Rosharans see crem as a nuisance although some use it as pottery, a building material or fertilizer but what if it could more with it? When highstorms drop crem it is still mixed in with the water meaning that it is effectively a liquid until it hardens. If you design a road as two long parallel bumps in the ground then the crem will move downhill depositing itself in the lower areas to the sides and in the center. The crem will most likely do this in a uniform manner meaning that their are not going to be any potholes on Rosahr and the roads could be self maintaining. Anyone else have ideas about turning Roshar's weirdness to human(or singer) advantage?
  21. Rosharan history, the whereabouts of Kriss new tec and Hoid.
  22. Wow that was unexpected I wish to bond a cryptic Sorry about the double post Granted you are now deafened I wish that Brandon Sanderson will publish all the books in the Cosmere in record time.
  23. Granted, an appropriate amount of money is deducted from your bank account I wish that Brandon Sanderson could write at several times his current pace without it effecting the writing quality.
  24. Agreed I hope that instead of killing him they more pulled him apart. My current Hoid theory is that his master was in fact the shard holder of Adonalsium.
