The Sibling

Cavetown! A whole lot of Cavetown. Also there's this grate artist called Starving Narcissist who does acoustic folk punk and is way underrated

Question about Secrets in Stained Glass

ARghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how dare you

Yeah I kind of doubt paladin will ever do anything like become a world hopper. He really doesn't have that same personality that seems to make people like Hoid and Khriss wo well suited to it. The only way I could see him lasting longer than his normal lifespan would be by becoming a herald or something like that, where he's essentially sacrificing himself to protect other but in a way that still leaves him alive. I don't really want that to happen though because I think it would just be really sad and not really complete his character arc.

Yeah definitely. I just feel like someones going to die and Syl's death especially if she dies protecting Kaladin than it doesn't really hurt his character arc (it might wreck hers though, idk).

I really don't think that Kaladin should die. I feel like it would cheapen some of his growth towards learning that he too needs to be protected. Not all heroes need to sacrifice their lives I guess. I do kind of get the vibe. that Syl is going die and I know it is absolutely going to destroy me.

I think this would be really really cool. I am definitely hoping for more fused and radiants fighting on the same side. Even better would be regular singers.

Even if there is some way to organize shards with "opposite intents" it probably wouldn't be Harmony and Whimsy because Harmony is a combination shard and didn't exist when Adonalsium originally shattered. If there are quadrants or opposites or something it would probably be with the original shards. Maybe whimsy's opposite could be Preservation?

I did my best (this was a collaboration with @The Stormfather) (Spoilered for length)

I love how we just start with some classic Hoid/Shallan moments. He's so so kind to her but I feel like it's in a slightly different way than he is with Kaladin. He often pokes fun at Kaladin and leaves him to tease out the meaning of his stories, but I feel like he knows what Shallan needs. She needs someone to come right out and tell her that she is important, she is loved, she is strong. I guess that's why Adolin is so perfect for her. I've missed Pattern so much. I'm trying to not re-read Stormlight until closer to the SA5 release, but it's quotes like these that make me want to start now. I've really really missed Roshar. Overall I really liked the new chapters. I feel like some of the dialogue feels a little clumsy, but it might just be that I need to get used to Brandon's writing style again. All the stuff about the spiritual realm is absolutely confusing to me, so I'll be relying on the coppermind/shardcast for any hope of understanding it, but that's okay. I'm really liking how complex but also less rigid the magic systems are getting. The Cosmere feels less like a bunch of hard magic systems that are entirely separate and more like a crazy patchwork quilt of hard magic systems interwoven with the soft magic system that is the Spiritual realm. It's really confusing but I'm here for it. Also these chapters are reminding me how much I love Shallan.
