Hopefully it's not against the rules to bump an old topic, but I'm wondering if people have updated thoughts on this after RoW.
Just going by how romance stories play out, I feel now it's going that direction. Syl is the only person who understand Kal, they have been through everything together, she's becoming more and more human.
I'm not really a fan of this ship, but the further it goes it just seems that's where it is leading. I don't think that might have been Sanderson's original intention but as the characters have developed it makes more sense. The first clue I got that this might be a thing was when Syl was talking about how much the Stormfather doesn't like Kaladin, and then when she formally introduces him. Felt like a girl introducing her bad boy boyfriend to her over protective father. Ever since I got that in my head, it seems to two hit a lot of romance flags.
Also, I do not think Kaladin will die in Book 5. It would not make sense for his ark or what he has been through and would add nothing to the story. Sanderson is very deliberate with how he handles characters deaths. Kaladin dying heroically is way too cliche. If anyone dies it's Delinar.
