I can see an end to book 5, ending in the defeat of Odium’s Champion. This would delay Odium for a time, as told by Honor Theres no way of knowing for sure right now, but I suspect Odium remains after the first 5 books are done Whether the Everstorm is ended at the same time... again, it’s a little early to see for certain. You may be right

The Herdazian General, that wrestles the Greatshell. I think he’s going to be important starting with Rhythm of War. I'll make another post on the current state of Roshar, and I’ll include him in it. Still pulling references for that post, though

That hadn’t even crossed my mind. If the book starts with that, it’s not so much starting with a bang as with a BOOM!

Ouch, that’s a painful observation. He does repeat himself a lot

Yes, Lightweavers take longer. That’s a given. If he’s trying to fly people directly out of enemy territory there’s a good chance of them getting killed. Especially if he’s outnumbered

In the brief reading Brandon did this last weekend, he mentioned Kaladin once again behind enemy lines, presumably on a mission to get his family out, potentially to contact and extract our second favorite Herdazian While I totally get Kaladins desire to perform that mission, he is the wrong person for the job. He’s a Windrunner, and we know from him already doing a similar stunt in Oathbringer that he is unable to use his powers without drawing way to much attention from Fused A full year after Oathbringer there should be at least three Lightweavers capable of retrieving sensitive personnel from behind enemy lines. Maybe Shallan has a baby and can’t go, but seriously, no Lightweavers available? Windrunners represent the vast majority of available Surgebinders, but sending one of the very few Windrunners that can lead squires makes our Knights Radiant weaker. A lesson that should have been learned in a post Battle of Thaylen Field world They need to start using the different Orders for the right jobs. Not every mission is a nail to be hammered with the same skill set Send Kaladin and some squires, taking a Lightweaver along, as close as possible. The Windrunners stay behind as backup. The Lightweaver goes in, pulls people out, and they all fly to the nearest open Oathgate This isn’t rocket science. It’s common sense P.S. Not knocking the authors decisions. The characters have a tendency to make the same mistakes over ad nauseam

Thank you for posting this here! It’s been on Reddit for 10 hours now, and has a grand total of 53 likes (as of now). Sad that it’s so quiet in the fan base. Its exciting to see this new content. I’m speculating that the Herdazian General is a Dustbringer. Looking forward to having him in Urithuru (keeping my fingers crossed anyway)
