1) Somehow, it really just clicked for me that the Fused aren't mimicking the Orders, they're mimicking the individual Surges
2) Yup, it was the Sibling, not the Stormfather who was Bonded during the Recreance and thus hurt by it, (on top of whatever else was happening that was causing them to withdraw)
3) Lirin that's your traumatized son, don't make me come over there and throttle you
4) yes, so a lot of the Honorspren have started to Bond, just like OB made us think would happen... then does something happen in RoW that necessitated Shallan & Adolin venturing into the Shadesmar as envoys?
5) I wasn't expecting the flying ship yet... a lot of the things I'd been expecting to see much later due to the series being so huge are happening really fast & dragging even more things, entirely unexpected things, along with them. Love it!
6) the Fused is leaving a body behind! Also that's not quite teleportation, they're zipping around in spren-like form, and rebuilding their body. Is this a difference in mechanics between their Surgebinding and standard Surgebinding? Is Odium merely mimicking Surgebinding? Or is the standard Surge of Transportation the same. I did suggest this as a way to pseudo-teleport but I wasn't expecting Transportation to utilize this! I thought it would use mini-Perpendicularities! What is happening!
7) Syl is a darling
8) Kal was with Lyn!?
9) Shallan is treating Radiant & Veil as different people who're sharing headspace...
