Personally I loved Kalidan's mental health struggles in this book. As someone who struggles with depression, his experiences hit me hard. I think that for some people it might be overkill to have him so depressed, but it really makes me feel, and I appreciate that. The scene where he breaks down in his room gave me chills, because I've had the exact same thing happen to me. I love when Adolin and Syl come in to try to help, and eventually get him to go out. That's one of my favorite chapters, I love the friendship between those two. Admittedly, because of how I relate to it sometimes reading those parts can be hard, but I also love the depth of which he feels.
The scene where Hesina convinces Lirin to ask why Noril has painted the glyph on his head resonates with me so much too. Noril explains that Kal gives him hope, he feels that because Kal can get up every day and fight, so can he. That's really the main reason I love these. Because I see him push forward, with the help of friends, and come out stronger at the end. It is so so powerful for me, because I see his pain, but I feel hope that I can feel happy again too, and push through like Kal does.
The part with Tien made me cry, because it impacts Kal so much. Tien gives him hope and love, and Kal finally allows himself to feel that love. And the next part with Kaladin saving Syl was also so beautiful, that chapter is probably my favorite in the book.
Anyway, that was super long, but those are my feelings.

"As I recall," Syl replied, "we didn't so much break them out as purposely fall into their trap and hope it wouldn't hurt too much."
Spren have the best quotes!

Rip man. I feel that tho, on a personal level. Homework never seems to end and then we can hope that we'll have at least one day off.
Agreed

That's why I went on vacation before I started school, lol. I did a heck ton of reading there, because I wasn't in service and I didn't have my phone to bother me, lol.
Smart! My school does a special thing where the three weeks after Christmas break we only have school from 9-2 and do special stuff so I've had barely any homework so I read the first three Stormlight books in two weeks. And now schools about to be back on so... there goes my reading time.

I mean, I've heard mixed opinions on Warbreaker, but you're asking for my recommendation and the book is now officially Mystic Approved. It can get weird sometimes, but I'm sure that it'll be fineeeeee.
Errr.... okay. Well, I'll add it to my list of practically one million books I still need to read. First I need to read RoW!!

Ayy, I like Words of Radiance too. I also like Hero of Ages
(the third book in the first era of Mistborn; give the series a read if you haven't, because that ending is worth it), and Warbreaker, whose ending almost had me b r o k e n, but I digress.Also, I read Hero of Ages, and loved it! I love the Mistborn series! I really need to reread it. Also, I haven't read Warbreaker, do you recommend it?

@midnight13 Skyward for sure!! Starsight was alright, but I didn't like it as much.

Oh wow that's hard! I haven't read a ton, but I really love the Stormlight Archive, Words of Radiance is my favorite, and I also loved Skyward a lot. How about you?

Yup, I think I belong in this group. Depression and anxiety are long time friends of mine, haha.
Can I just say I love how The Stormight Archive expresses emotions?! I can relate to Shallan and Kalidan so much, and I love reading about their struggles! I don't know if anyone else is like that, but it's kind of refreshing to read about someone else who thinks kind of like me. Like when Kalidan is standing on the edge of the honor chasm always gives me chills. And when Kalidan and Shallan are in the chasms together and realize they're both broken, agh it gets me every time.

Hey fellow bookworms!

I made a "favorite character" survey
in Stormlight Archive
Posted
1) Would like to be friends with most:
Probably either Adolin or Syl. I love how both of them are so supportive but also so much fun to be around.
2) Feel is most believable in terms of motivation
This one is hard. But if I were to choose it would be Adolin.
3) Enjoy reading about most
All of them! Except Moash because I hate him. And also Taravangian because he keeps messing up all the good plans. But I love reading about the rest of them all for different reasons.
4) Find most confusing/intriguing
Mraize. He is so hard to figure out. And Taln, what is the deal with him? Also Renarin, his deal with the corrupted spren really intrigues me.
5) Find makes you laugh the most
The spren always make me laugh. Pattern, with his "NO MATING!!!" and "Irony good. Like sausage." Syl, who cares so much about Kal and is so good at cheering both him and me up. She has some great lines. They both crack me up. And also Wit/Hoid.
6) Would like to punch in the face
MOSAH!! Hands down Moash. I hate him so much for what he did to Kal. It's not just the killing that I hate him for, it's for being someone Kal could trust, then abandoning him. Aaaarggg I really hate him. Oh yeah and Amaram. For the same reasons.
7) Personally relate to most
Kaladin and Shallan. I have depression so I relate to Kaladin so much. Also his wanting to protect others and never let anyone else down too. His chapters are so impactful to me, because I can relate to them. Which also makes them hard to read sometimes. And Shallan is so conflicted inside, which I find I relate to a lot also.
8) Feel is emotionally most realistic
All of them? That's one thing I love about this series, that Brandon makes us truly understand how they all feel, and we go into so much depth into each character. But in RoW I would probably choose Navani or Dalinar.
9) Shamelessly crush on the hardest
Kaladin for sure. I think it's because I relate to him so much. Honestly we would probably be horrible together because we're so similar, but I still crush on him HARD.
10) Is most like someone you know IRL
I have a friend who is very similar to Syl. Super bright and happy, and always wants to help other people with their struggles.
