Tanavast says about Nohadon: "... YES … IT HAD BEEN CENTURIES SINCE THAT MAN HAD DIED. SUCH A CURIOUS INDIVIDUAL. PERHAPS I SHOULD HAVE INSISTED THAT HE ACCEPT IMMORTALITY...") I think your theory is plausible, but the above reads strangely if he did save a backup copy of Nohadon.

Yeah if you remove every single Shallan chapter from this book nothing really changes. Ba ado mishram may or may not be free due to the actions of the Ghostbloods in the spirit realm but her being free or not doesn't affect the plot. I think an actual spy vs spy conflict between the Ghostbloods and the unseen court could have been really cool. Unfortunately we only get a few pages and then the lightweavers disappear while Shallan witnesses exposition events in the spirit realm.
