Lopen is so awesome. So Kaladin will learn how to fly it seems. I wonder if he will be walking on walls before Szeth gets there.
-
I want it now. Dang it.
-
Well, Hoid was interested in Kaladin too, so that isn't so much of a surprise. But why are they so interested in his brands. Is it because his tattoo didn't take and they want to be able to identify him?
-
Every writer must go to Hell then, because all writers have at least one unpublished work. Most probably have several. Brandon has quite a few and some of them are Cosmere books.
-
That's the date they were freed. Tanat is the ninth month of the year, I think.
-
Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory, doesn't matter as long as their library is up to date, eh?
-
Why is Nazh's friend so interested in Kaladin's brands and the bridgemen tattoos?
-
Therefore Amaram may act like he doesn't know Kaladin at all. If he acts like he doesn't know Kaladin, then how will we know he remembers? Maybe we will find out much later in WoR that Amaram does, but in the beginning chapters it might seem like he doesn't remember.
-
Well, even if Amaram does remember him do you think he will act like he does. Will he say something to Kaladin? Will he tell Dalinar and Adolin what he is a deserter?

Our spoiler-free Words of Radiance review
eveorjoy commented on Chaos's article in Brandon and Book News
Excellent review. You have just made my torture all the worse. Thanks so much. -
I haven't. I'm making judgements based on reviews. I feel your pain. I'm so looking forward to next Monday at 9pm.
-
Are you saying WoR won't answer all of life's questions and turn lead into gold? I am disappointed now.
-
That has got to be mistake. I know it is long, but it's not longer than the Song of Ice and Fire that is currently available.

I wanted to dump a bucket of ice water over Harry's head when I read Order of the Phoenix and I still love him anyway. I would have felt cheated Harry didn't act that way in one of the books and it took him five books to get there. If Kaladin trusted Dalinar too easily Sanderson would be betraying all his character development from his book. At least Kaladin is getting it out of his system in the second book. Now if he still acts this way in later books I will be annoyed, but with all the trauma he has experienced he needs to work through it before he can move on for his trust to be believable.
-
I agree Kaladin was over estimating his time when he made that statement. Still, I think he has been with Sadeas longer than twenty weeks or two months. Still, if it has only been two months, can you show how you know this? I admit I could be wrong, but it seemed longer to me. Edit: I guess you would know, but could you point me in the right direction.

I think she is in Shadesmar.

Oh I suppose if Amaram spoke to Kaladin for five minutes, including Dalinar introducing him, he would recognize him, but Kaladin might try to avoid such meetings. Could he avoid them forever? No, but it is possible. Was Kaladin only with Sadeas for two months? He was with bridge 4 for several weeks before he tried to save it. It took several weeks to get bridge 4 to follow him. It would take several more weeks for them to be as in shape as they were when Kaladin was strung up. Then a few weeks for Kaladin to heal. Then several weeks for Kaladin to train the bridgemen. Maybe it wasn't a whole year, but I think it was more than two months. Also in Chapter 67 "Wordsl" pg 912, Kaladin says he has been a slave for years. I don't think Amaram would remember the name Kaladin Stormblessed. He didn't seem to recognize it when he took the shards. I doubt he ever heard it. I bet the name was known only among the darkeyes in Amaram's army. He might hear the name now, but I'm not sure he will realize who it is, at least at first. And I don't think he expected Kaladin to get a Shash brand. Most slaves who receive that are killed. @Bloodfalcon. You may have a better memory than Amaram. He did remember Kaladin from there first meeting. Their second meeting was more memorable, but Kaladin as I said, looks different now. In fact, do you think you could recognize what that kid looked like today.
-
Maybe. Maybe not. Dalinar doesn't need to introduce his bodyguards. You do have a point though.
-
Lot's of slaves get that brand and he has one more brand since he got his original glyph pair. If Amaram does recognize him, it won't be because of the brand.
-
Why not just get the ebook copy and read it on your computer or phone? You could use it later to copy and paste text for debates in the forums.

Suffering changes a person's appearance. This link shows examples of the effect war leaves on soldiers' faces. Kaladin has been to Damnation and back, suffering nearly two years of physical, emotional, and mental torment as a slave. He is aware that he is broken inside and considers the man he was in Amaram's army dead. I'm sure he doesn't look like that man anymore either, even if you don't consider the scars. Also, Amaram has been busy doing important stuff. He might spare a thought now and then for the man whose life he destroyed, but considering all the pressure he is under I doubts he allows himself to dwell on that unfortunate squadleader for long. Do you think Amaram will recognize Kaladin when he sees him again? I have my doubts that he will, unless he talks with Kaladin for more than a few minutes. It's possible Amaram may not recognize Kaladin at all unless Kal reminds him.

Lirin might be a bit annoyed with that theory.
-
It fits Szeth, but there could be another murderer in an Interlude would is haunted in such a manner. You are most likely right, but it could be someone else. I agree though that Gaz and Mr. T are very unlikely.
-
Can you be so sure? It is likely Szeth, but it could be someone else. The only glimpse where the speaker was obvious was number 8.
-
I don't think it is literal. Szeth never literally heard screams. He knew they were all in his head, that's why the quote fits him. Still, he isn't the only guilt-ridden killer on Roshar.
