no

no, you can finish it. Although, I wish I had read SA5 before TSM but it's really not a big deal

I like this answer. I don't expect brando to have surges unbounded in book 6, or he would have made it part of the ending of this book.

I recall that Odium and Honor made a deal, that they would cease to increase the amount of investiture or power they permitted rosharans to hold in order to avoid repeating the disaster of Ashyn. I believe Tanavasts way to honor this deal was to create an oath-based system to bind the surges. However, Dalinar rennounced ALL of Honor's oaths. So this means in theory Retribution could possibly unbind surges, no? Although, on the other side, he does seem to be honoring the borders of the contest, so maybe this will also be honored.

There are 9 types of fused representing the 9 types of radiant orders (except bondsmith). I think if there was an odium-bondsmith, it would be classified as a fused.

In Sixth of the Dusk, we learn that: Trappers becoming of age choose an island and spend their life trapping on that island The purpose of a trapper is to breed Aviars and give them talents (Assumption here) Aviar's get talents from the worm parasites from the fruits given by Patji's Finger (tree) Patji's Finger grows on Patji (According to coppermind) Then how do trappers on the other islands get talents for their aviars if they don't have the fruits from Patji's Finger

Interlude 5, The Way of Kings. Szeth is in a gambling den, he needs to assassinate some minor crime lord, upon arriving at the crime scene he sees someone with his oathstone. The person has his old master dead, and gives him a list of Monarchs. We later learn that his new master is Taravangian. But I don't think this is the person holding his oathstone in I-5. He says "we" as part of a group, and refers to the new "master" as someone else. He also then leaves by soulcasting the wall. So this has to be someone with a soulcaster. I couldn't find who that was but I assume it's a member of The Diagram. \

I also want to know how Neturo-Son-Vallano died or how Ishar got his Honorblade back

I also hope we get to see a lot about Szeth's father. Why did he choose Szeth-son-son-Vallano and not Szeth-son-Neturo? I think being named Truthless has to do with that

We learn that Moash was a singer name. How is this possible? As far as I can tell the first Parshendi contact was just a few years before Gavilar's assassination, way after Moash was born. So the only way for a Parshendi way to make it's way to Moash's name is either it was kept around for 4500 years or it's pure coincidence. What do you think?

Couldn't agree less. How long did us Earth humans took to realise that locking up crazy people was not the best course of action? More than 500 years, I don't see why it would take less on Roshar.

We learn that in RoW, there is a possibility that Hoid lost his Investiture. While I've seen it debated whether he got tricked by Odium or not (or the other way around), I don't think this matters. Mistborn Era 2 is after Stormlight 1-5 (Chronology here), and Hoid shows up, which means he's alright. Am I the only one who noticed this? To be fair, Hoid's cameos were brief so maybe he isn't totally fine, but he was able to get out of Roshar. Edit: should have posted this in cosmere discussion

Sorry I'm new to these forums. To clarify my previous message addressed to @Aspiring Writer : how does one end up skipping Lift's interlude? Did you start the interlude and say "storm this" and just go on to the next interlude in WoR (skipped only this interlude) or do you just not read interludes at all (skipping ALL interludes, going from part to part while never reading interludes in all books).

I think Shen/Rlain has improved so much from book 1. He's pretty epic in RoW

Just out of curiosity... How did you skip her WoR chapter? Did you skip all interludes or just that one?
