With regards to Kaladin, I think his next ideal will have something to do with leading, as two of his four are already about protecting. Maybe he takes charge of Kholinar and prepares it for the everstorm? Szeth is now just annoying, so hopefully he grows up or gets killed off by the end of the book. Dalinar is in a pretty good place mentally and emotionally at the moment, so his role will probably be about organising Urithiru and exploring his bond with the Stormfather. I think Shallan and Jasnah will have to go their own ways. Jasnah will probably stay in Urithiru while Shallan investigates the Ghostbloods/returns to Jah Keved/follows Kaladin to Kholinar via Oathgate.

But it doesn't matter that Zahel is Vasher. Not at this point anyway. The only bits of SA that I can think of which require external commerce knowledge are knowing that Wit is Hoid, what a shard is, and Nightblood and Adonalsium.

Love triangle with Jasnah, Teft and Wit?

Plus Taln's greatest quality is his determination.

So is this definite confirmation that there will be 10 different flashback characters? Also, we already know what Dalinar's wife's name is from the 103% accurate post. It is revealed to actually be shshshshsh in book 3.

But her Shard's intent would drive her to continue cultivating, even if she was depressed. Even when Preservation did not have a mind, it still tried to snap people.

Kaladin and Shallan spending the night together in the highstorm.

He is mine! a feminine voice said. I claim him.

My theory is when Sadeas was at Urithiru, he bumped into Jasnah, who had just arrived there at many months of hard travel and self discovery. On learning that Sadeas had got there first and that Shallan was getting all the credit, she got so angry that she soulcasted Sadeas into a flowerpot. As a flowerpot, he did not have enough of a cognitive or spiritual presence to bond a shardblade, so it appeared, and fell into the flowerpot.

I think that ties up all the loose ends.

In book 5, we discover that the flowerpot was actually Gaz, and that Shallan employed him to stand in for Sadeas with some light weaving tricks to make him look like Sadeas. What actually happened was that they found Oathbringer in his room with a note saying, "Went out for some milk, should be back in three months from Shinovar. S." Sadeas was later revealed to have died en route, crushed by a falling greatshell. (Wit's fault)

And Elend and Vin are ein (one) that's why they're together.

It's not just chrome, it happens about 10% of there time to me on safari.

I was wondering why no comments had been up voted in any of the threads I was looking at. I assumed it was because everyone was being stingy with their upvotes.

- Nalan is also in possession of a giant block of ice in which Spock has cryogenically frozen himself.

Also, don't forget the part when the piper in the night appears and the entire third section turns into a musical with attached sheet music, to be written by Howard Tayler.

My favourite song was when Kaladin reacts to Shallan being stuck in the carriage exclaiming, "don't put Baby in the corner", before singing "I've had the life before death" to the tune of "I've had the time of my life" in a duet with Shallan.

Maybe, like the KR, the Heralds had to live up to their ideals to fully access their power.

Would chromium be able to remove all of a Windrunner's stormlight? Also, chromium compounding.

I think that you cannot surgebind something with heavy Investiture, so Jadnah would probably be ineffective against a surgebinder or a shardbearer wearing plate.

It is suggested that

I think that Shallan will end up with Kaladin, only because I think that Adolin will die.

I was so glad when they started to become friends because I was worried that no one would talk to each other about their problems like the wheel of time.

I think it is probably Honor because it looks as if Cultivation is based in or in the mountain range around Shinovar.

The sword master is Vasher.

I thought that Barndon missed a trick though in largely glossing over the fact that Jasnah was dead. Admittedly, this might just be because Shallan is so used to suppressing painful memories that she pushes the feelings away and because she is the most prominent viewpoint, we don't get much of a sense of loss. I still think it could have been handled better, though.

I was underwhelmed by Jasnah's return. I was 99% sure that she would come back and the only surprise was that she didn't return earlier. Also, Shallan. I really don't understand what goes on in her head. She is easily the creepiest person in the book. And Szeth, I hate him so much. Why can't he behave like an adult instead of like a 4 year old with a nuke.

These really jumped out at me but I still loved the book. Sometimes, flaws are what make works of art great.

I think that Szeth mentions that his people have the other Honorblades. I can only guess that the Heralds left them in Shinovar when they broke the Oathpact.

Probably because he has spies who know that Dalinar is seeing visions, which makes him a threat.
