Adolin didn't give any name to his sword (it was i think before duels in 2nd book). Because it belonged to a Knight who gave a name - and Adolin didn't know the right one. and mostly i think that Adolin doesn't treat his sword only as a tool - and others do. First, he talked to it (her :D) and then he saw her in Shadesmar. i think that other people who treat sword just as a sword, may not have the right connection. i don't think that those 2 swords in amaram's possesion talked to him (but who knows?). a small digression - talking swords remind me of Lilarcor in Baldur's Gate 2 (anyone played?)

good point. to be honest I just hope that Maya wasn't sentient only because od dalinar in this particular moment. about Adolin - I'm not sure that I will be satisfied with him being surgebinder. but i won't be surprised either. and I hope that Mayawill have some lines (perhaps not as much as syl or pattern, but who knows?) in 4th book. And November is closer and closer

hi, im new in 17th shard and i know english... but i read books in my native polish. I wonder - book made by Brandor are published and then translated? or they are given to translate even before they are published in US/UK? does anyone knows that?

I really don't have the time needed to read all of 12 pages so maybe someone has already wrote that... but i have something do add. 1. Spren can be killed (i think) - didn't Kaladin using Syl killed one of the voidspren in kholinar? i read only polish version but i think syl asked "did we just killed this spren?" - i don't think that this one particular voidspren have turned deadeyedvoidspren (!) or something, it just got KILLED (of course it was syl who killed it, not like breaking an oath). 2. remember Warbreaker? remember Nightblood? i must ask... did anyone have nahel bond with it? or you just need to hold it to hear it? there was another blade - i don't know her name in english version (polish = Lazur) warrior women who commanded soldiers of the wall in kholinar. one of the honorsprens on the boat in shadesmar said something like "it speaks!" - does she had nahel bond? this can be just it - that Maya is regaining her mind - without the nahel bond. you can see that many many spren in shadesmar have minds - without any bonds. can Maya become a spren with mind that works, but without any bond? and due to adolin's connection she can WILLINGLY change herself to a sword? like Syl can be a girl in dress, can be a girl in havah or be just a cloud. or a sword
