So the thing that gets me is that Shallan is hiding a secret, a secret she CANNOT reveal to herself. Now she has gone through some of her secrets already and we know she killed her mum and dad and that the remaining secrets are worse than those. 
 

We also know that a wave of violence and misery have been around her house that made her father and her mother act different and that in the past Brandon has hinted there might be some Unmade interference. 
 

We know her mother tried to kill her which we assume is for being a Radiant but we don’t know why. As far as I’m aware other than the Skybreakers no one else was trying to kill Radiants. 
 

so what if the secret is that Shallan has been possessed by Diagonarthis(spelling is a problem here). He drove the family to insanity and caused the mother to try kill Shallan. This made Shallans father terrified of her and always try placate her. Now he seemed concerned that Heleran threatened him with a Shardplate but was still willing to argue with him with Shallan he never did anything. 
 

So what if Formless is actually Diagonarthis. And when Shallan confronted Re’Sheppir it got scared of an Unmade or even more strength and ran away. 
 

I keep thinking back to the back of Way if Kings. We watch 4. They may save us one of them may certainly destroy us (quote may be wrong). Szeth Dalinar and Kaladin don’t look like the destroying type at this point. 
 

theory over haha

I was leaning towards the thought of it being the influence of some Unmade but I’m very uneducated about them so I didn’t say anything. But holy cow this could actually be it. Unmade and Formless sound eerily similar to each other and Formless could actually be an Unmade (or the influence of one).

So reading the chapter today was quite a ride. I felt so many emotions and got so excited for how the Ghostbloods might tie into the entire Cosmere. But what stuck out the most was Formless. I really have no clue what it is but I’m here to ask about all of your theories. Share them below.

Prediction: Book 5 will end with the Shard Odium being passed from Rayse to Moash. 

He will be the new Odium. 

Bro this is such an interesting theory. Personally I don’t think it will happen because Rayse is like the Palpatine of the Cosmere, but reading it gave me some major chilly vibes.
