There is some debate on reddit about who the author of "Knights of Wind and Truth" is.
We have been told for years that book 5 is Szeth's book. He is clearly the author is he not?
I think Adolin is going to be our hero of books 6-10 and the biggest reason that will be possible is because he's NOT a Radiant. I haven't worked through all the possibilities yet but Adolin is being set up for some big developments in this book and because of timelines, those moments wont come in book 5
Raboniel was awesome. She was super valuable to build Navani's character to show how similar they were but still different at the same time. Also she was useful to show that not all the fused are the same or in agreement with each other. The Raboniel, Pursuer, Leshwi dynamic was great. All fused, all different
So I was really bored by the flashbacks in the book. I personally have no emotional investment in Venli as a character so seeing her come to be was not interesting to me in the least
BUT
I am very interested in what other people got from the flashbacks. I think other perspectives might make me appreciate them more. Your thoughts?
Could Adolin be a/working with the Ghostbloods?
SOMETHING had to have been going on with him while his dad was away or drinking himself into a stupor during Adolin's youth. Who would we least suspect among Shallan's group to be a ghostblood agent?
It would make tons of sense for them to have approached him as a youth when he was vulnerable
If we are talking 5E. I think the best way to make a Surgebinder fit into the mold would be to have players be able to pick 1 surge at each class feature level. 3, 7, 11 etc. I would try to find existing spells that fit the mold of each Surge and maybe slightly modify as need to make sure the Surges aren't too OP.
Its a persons opinion? He (and I) think the Veil personality is the most authentic and closest to the "real" Shallan.
There is nothing problematic or misleading about that.
Other characters opinions have absolutely no impact on the opinion that " the Veil personality is the most authentic and closest to the "real" Shallan."
