It was actually really definite what happened to it. It sunk with Wind's Pleasure, the end. Often simplest explanations are the best. And I vaguely remember mentioned somewhere in the book, while Shallan was having an inner monologue that it sunk to the bottom ( I recently read the book, so it's stuck fresh in my memory). From then on the plot has moved in a different direction and for the longest time (aside from flashbacks but that was about establishing Shallan as the character and filling the gaps in her story)

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, I just have to say that I really hope Shallan is given the same amount of presence in the next book as she had in WoT WoR had some epic moments for her story, that dull the boring ones ( and there were some that were really draaaaaaaaging) so I had high hopes it would improve from then on. But it has gotten worse. I don't have a problem with the character itself, she is standing out and is definitely crafted masterfully (though I didn't like her witty remarks except for very few, it was largely ' brain rolling" and skipping through them). It's just that her stories became much less engaging, mostly due to frequency, length, and worldly description that could be reduced. As a character she is stoic but the plot around her is heading in a dangerous direction of confusing mess and maze. She has been given really quite a presence and just for once I would like the next book to actually focus more around the focused character and the other main ones
