Telperion

Was skeptical at first. But very shortly let go of my reservations and tried to just enjoy the whimsical nature of the book. I did audio book was excellent. I dont normally read whimsy but this was a nice break. I like it as much as tress for other reasons they are both great in their own spheres

This is super cool and I stumbled on this by searching for the type of pen Brandon uses for his signing.

I get Windrunner 90 percent of the time. With stoneward as a close second. Although I like the surges of the dust bringers the most. And I have gotten Dustbringer once but I was in a weird mood that day. More of what I want to be rather than what I am.

Got it. So it's lawful to kill "nobody's" and at the least murder. as long as you dictate a law that says that's ok. I love that logic. I might as well say. I own all of your property because I decided I wanted to. Just because your Law says it's ok to kill doesn't mean your arent a hitman or assassin. Also, my definition says especially someone important politically, not exclusively someone important politically. And at the time that the Skybreakers were assassinating other Radiants, they were inherently important politically because there were so few of them. Just because John Wick doesn't have any moral issues or follow a law(s) that hinder his job as an assassin doesn't make him, not an assassin.

lol, its all about perceptions isn't it I feel like thats flawed logic? I could act as an officer of my law to kill someone I disagreed with. It's still murder and assassination especially if they don't live under the same laws that are allowing you to kill them. Pretty sure if a family member of yours started glowing and some flying dude just dropped by and killed them because of it. You would call it murder or assassination. a person who kills another person assassin. noun. as·sas·sin ə-ˈsas-ən. : a person who kills another person. especially : one who murders a politically important person either for pay or from loyalty to a cause And Radients are inherently important people in the world of roshar.

Gotcha. I read that. Didnt know if we had WOB on BAM at all though. It will be interesting to see how BAM reacts if they release her.

So why didnt imprisonment of the thrill do the same thing? Was Ba Ado Mishram a super special spren of odium? Was it originally a child of honor and cultivation? I know they gave the singers forms. But do we know anything else? i have read all the books so don't worry about spoilers.

That would be a fun connection.

I mean. The Skybreakers spent the last few thousand years killing any radiant that showed up do to their Ideals and Oaths soo its not only possible its been happening for a long time!

We know that singers dont live as long as humans in years overall. Also the fact that singers have to adopt mate form to reproduce would more than likely reduce their reproduction rate. They are far more intentional about having children than humans who are ready to get down whenever are. So i agree that humans probably we just able to keep up based on reproduction until the singers had the fuzed

I think that we just don't comprehend how alien Cultivation's thinking might be. She sounds like a true NUTERAL shard. As long as she can cultivate change and keep existing, that's most of what she cares about. The fact that she may have feelings for beings that bring about change and cultivation is one of the only things the sentient beings on Roshar have to win cultivation's favor.

I can't wait for that to be the main issue of Erra 3

Oathbringer is my favorite of the stormlight archive! I agree with you Lift takes some getting use to... Im not a huge fan of her but she is a good balance with the other viewpoints.

That is an excellent point! It would be extra cool and interesting if someone with her split personality would make a good multi-shard or a terror on the Cosmere. Love the thought process.

Not a bad person... But dont let these thoughts rule your mind too long maybe?? LOL

I couldn't agree more, I love the connections and seeing things personally, but I hope he eases into it more than in this book, For those that haven't read everything there was a ton of new investiture involved and its a bit jarring if you don't know where things are coming from, I think these books being so short in page count suffer because it leads to more info dumps rather than natural introductions. Although Im here for the long haul. I just worry about something happening to Brandon so we all get a cliffhanger... Im looking forward to radiants orbital dropping from spaceships to kick the crap out of metal born.

This is easily one of my favorite threads in this forum at this point. So much fun to see someone's first reactions to the cosmere!

Really though! I thought it was so annoying.... Tin and her influence on Shallan really grinds my gears. Although I was proud of Kaladin since I know giving his boots away would have been difficult and not his first reaction.

I was so bumbed that we meet another surgebinder and hes just dead shortly after..

This is how I feel as well. I dislike Shallan due to the fact that she uses others like tissues and throws them away when she's done. She has loyal people on her side that want to help (Adolin) but rather than letting them help she seems to do everything possible to push them further away. And don't get me started on the multiple personalities... I know that's a real situation that people deal with but I hope in the next book she can learn to work despite that. Her regression in RoW was heartbreaking and EXTREMELY difficult to read. She has so many similarities to people I have known that have treated me like dirt that its difficult for me to rationalize her mistreatment of others for her sole gain. The difference between her and Moash to me are very similar. Very self-centered due to trauma, that is sad. But no excuse to treat those that love and care for you like garbage. I also feel like she was a slog to read due to all the issues that were going on in our world when the book was released. It was just bad timing for a brittle character in my opinion.

This has been one of the best threads to read since I have joined the shard. Love seeing how much you are enjoying a wonderful series. Book 2 is wonderful and I can't wait to follow you on this journey!

Couldn't agree more Ookla. Show moved to fast for me and this last episode killed it... I understand that everyone working on the show says "its a different turning of the wheel" but that is starting to feel like an excuse for mistakes rather then a thoughtful representation of the books we enjoy. Changes are creating plot holes and issues with the lore of the world and thats not ok.

Heyoo glad to be here this site has been great and finally pulled the trigger on building an account.
