Are you holding a shard? Cosmere mortals cannot be that divine.

Silence Divine is the cosmere book with the magical germs right? Could the shard on that world be Survival? The sickness survives inside the body for a time and in exchange gives the host magical abilities to survive while they're under the weather. This could also be the shard that just wants to hide.

There was a typo in the Ars Arcanum. Just/Confident are the attributes of #2 while Learned/Giving are the attributes of #5. If you take Shallan's first soulcasting being blood as an indicator of her Order, Jasnah being in #5 doesn't make much sense. She stated she isn't good at soulcasting organic material, or something like that, and the essence and soulcasting properties of that Order are all organic/plant-based. I kind of think Jasnah might be in #2. We see her soulcast things into smoke more often than anything else, and the time she uses that stream of stormlight in the alley to cast that thug into smoke the smokestone gem on her soulcaster cracks. It's more of a crack!theory because it messes up the Shallan&Jasnah shared surge of soulcasting, unless there are two surges: one for organic material and one for inorganic.

Thanks so much for being so involved with your fans, it really means a lot to us. 1. How has writing Shallan as the focus character been compared to Kaladin in the last book? Easier? More difficult? 2. Will the point of view characters be the same as Way of Kings? 3. Can Knights Radiant of one Order see the spren of someone from another Order? 4. If a Shardblade was used on an awakened object, would it physically harm the object, destroy the Breath, or a combination of the two?

I was surprised by Navanni too. Thought it would have been Jasnah, though I guess parts of the Navanni flashbacks will have Jasnah in them.

Suvudu has video of the Q&A where he talks about the tv deal. Link

Obligatory comment. Kehehe.

When Kaladin says "I will protect those who cannot protect themselves". Sometimes I'll open up TWoK just to read that scene.

It says the video was removed by the user.

Definitely interested in this contest. *drools over prizes*

Brandon fan first, picked up Elantris when it first came out and read everything he's put out since. Started reading WoT because he was going to finish it.
