This will probably be Controversial Opinion but I think one of the ways this series can differentiate itself from the Crowd is to play up its Diversity of races.The World of Wheel of time is such a mix of different Races and Cultures.If they Play it up the show would certainly look different from your standard european Fantasy.The Diversity of the Wheel of time world should allow them to Racebend without it contradicting the Stories.I would love to see Rand and the Aiel played by an Indian Actors and Actreses.Just Dye their Hair red.Emond Fielders Id like played by Hispanic Actors and Actresses.

So Ive finished Book 4 and 5.Book 4 was pretty sweet with Rand becoming the Carcann and Matts Transformation,Perrin was actually quite awesome in this book.Lanfear was also interesting. Book 5 was a problem.The plot plods on and on and on. Also I have to say the Forsaken are disppointing so far with the obvious exception of Lanfear and Ishmaeal. I dint care for the Aes Sadai and now I dont care for the Wise ones. Rands romance is very eyeroll inducing.I howver really like Rands character development.Matt annoys me with his selfishness at times but hes cool So whats my view on the series so far?Well it started off very cliche but its gotten very interesting mythos wise.If a tv series was adapted they would do well to reinvent the beginning so as not to bore viewers straight off.That is reinvent the Book 1 and 2 plot to not be so cliche and plodding-book 1 especially I also noticed that GOT seems very inpired by WOT.Wargs=Wolfbrother,Dragon(Rand/Dany)leading a Middleeastern warrior tribe(Dothraki/Aiel)etc

Liked Dragon reborn.Mats getting interesting,love Perrin and Rand is walking the patth of the badass.I however hate anything Aes Sadai related.HATE IT. So im going for the good stuff now books 4-6

Well just finished Greathunt. liked it not loved it. Not happy that the 3rd book is Randlessbut ill read.Also not happy tht Thom is alive.I supect Jordan must be averse to killing main characters and tht sucks.Also VERY bored with the girls

Division is the Surge of Destruction and Decay. Nothing to do with dividing storm-light. The Soldiers are Likely Just Squires or Radiants in training

I suspect Awakening an Honor blade would make it capable of controlling all the surges not just 2

U are Breaking my balls Argent.Breaking my Balls

Good point. If the Skybreakers do have the missing Shardweaapons that makes them very dangerous.....I mean 200 Shards...

There were 300 shardblades and plates left behind by KR during the recreance.Fastforward to present day and there are less than a 100 known shards.Where are the missing 200 shards? My guess is someone has them-Someone hiddn and my money is on Skybreakers

In one of Dalinars Visions,he noted that the shardblades and plates abandoned by the KR during Recreancewas substantially larger than the ones he knew about in present day.Which means there is a substantial amount of Shardblades and Shardplates that are missing.Question is where are they? My guess is someone has them.Some secret player collected this shardweapons and now has an entire army of Shardbearers at its command hidden away from the public. Looking at the various secret factions at work in Roshar, My money is on it being the Skybreakers. I Expect Naln to show up with an army of shardbearers in Book 3

I have no problem with the Journey before destination.I question why the journey has to be so darn Boring,predictable,cliche and slow. Im starting to see why there has been no live adapatation of Wheel of time despite fanboy popularity. Ill howver take your word and try book 2.Thanks

if Nightblood counts as a Splinter it should grant powers like a Spren albeit diff powers since it wld be a splinter of Endowment not a splinter of Honor/Cultivation . Splinters of Honor/Cultivation grant Surgebinding powers.On the other hand Splinters of Endowment like Divine Breath grant Returned Powers. So that means that the wielder of a Stormlight powered Nightblood cld have the powers of the Returned.Fitting for Szeth who has now returned from the dead.

So in short the good stuff is 4-6 yet I have to force myself through 1-3. Cant do.Already forced myself thru book 1...if 2 and 3 are the same quality as 1 then I guess this series isnt for me. Thanks

Parshendi forms existed before Honor,Cultivation,or Odium came to roshar. This very likely means that Parshendi forms are actually connected to Adonalsium magic sytem.Odium just hijacked it by introducing his own spren into the system. As for Cultivation magic system-I have no idea.Random guess is that it turns out to be like a Pokemon-like system with Spren instead of Pokemon.

Im trying my best to get into the book everyone seems to like to no avail.The first book struck me as being so mediocre and derivative that I quit after a few chapters.I picked up the comic series and read it all and Im scratching my head on whats great about it.Not only is it freaking slow,its derivative farmboy turned hero-I mean Really. Please tell me what book those this series get better,so I can skip to it instead.

Not sure that counts as 4 powers for Lift.Wyndle merely uses his own powers to aid her by becoming an invisible aid thats not surgebinding. EDIT Lightweaving is the manipulation of sound and Light-so voice mimicry should fall under lightweaving. Lightweaving counts as 1 illumination power not 2

Ah-now I see the misunderstanding.When I talk about Orders and their specialty I am not reffering to the surge they easily learnt.If I was then yes Windrunners would be adhesion,Lightweavers wold be illumination etc When I talk about an Orders specialty is all Im reffering to is the surge that grants the most powers.With that definition of specialty Windrunners would be Gravitation,Edgedancers would be progression etc. In fact It occurs to me that the surge that grants the most powers to an order is more difficult to learn than the other.Thats why Windrunners like Kaladin learnt adhesion quicker than Graviataion despite the fact he has 2 Graviattion powers. Windrunners have 3 displayed abilities and not one of them involve winds.2 of those abilities(Reverse Lashing and Basic Lashing) may appear to be wind related but we know they are Gravity releated.For example when Kal flies hes not actually" riding the winds"-hes simply manipulating gravity around himself.Yet the powers the windrunners posses give them what looks like a mastery wind hence the name.

Thanks man.Hope to find the WOB

Thanks 4 d replies guys If Lightweavers are specialized in illumination then Trutchwatchers will instead be spcialized in progression.Howver that cant be right because progression belongs to edgedancers. You have to understand that though Radiants are named for their abilities,their names arent a necssary good indicator to the nature of therir powers or specialty.Example is Windrunners-Their powers dont involve manipulating wind despite what they are named.So the names arent good indicators Sorry not sure how Gravitation and adhesion would resul in reverse lashing? Like I pionted out earlier the names can be deceptive. Also Shallan has only learnt 1 surge so shes not a great example.Kaladin and lift are better since they use both surges.Judging fom Kaladins 3 lashings,Gravitation is a Windrunners specailty.Judging form Lift,progression is their specailty

Okay heres my question about surges 1.What exactly is Tension about?I mean I know Brandon defined it as soft axial interconnections but that is just unclear. 2.Adhesion is surge of Pressure and Vaccuum.Not sure how Pressure or vaccuum could be responsible for sticking things together(Full lashing),so cld someone explain?

As you already Know, Radiants have 2 surges. I speculate that this surges can be categorized as a Specialty Surge and a Basic Surge. The Specialty Surge grants the Radiant 2 powers whilst the Basic Surge grants only 1 power Examples Windrunners have Gravitation as their Specialty Surge so it grants them 2 powers (Basic Lashing and Reverse Lashing). On the other hand Adhesion is their Basic Surge so it grants them 1 power alone (Full Lashing). Edgedancers have Progression as their Specialty Surge so it grants them 2 powers (Growth and Regrowth). On the other hand Abrasion is their Basic Surge so it grants them 1 power alone (Slicking). No Radiant orders have the same specialty even if they share surges. For example Windrunners and Skybreakers share the Gravitation surge but Gravitation surge is the specialty surge for Windrunners alone which means Skybreakers specialty will be Division. Using this info we can predict which of an Orders surges is the Specialty or Basic surge. This info lets us know how many powers each surge will grant to each order. We can further speculate on what this powers are using the info weve been given via books or via Brandons definition of each surge. Using this theory I’ve created a powers list for yet to be revealed order. Order of Skybreakers (Specialty: Divison Basic: Gravitation) 1. The 1st Division Power is Destruction-My guess is that this is the power to create miniature earthquakes hence the name skyBREAKERS. 2. The 2nd Division Power is Decay-I suspect it is the power to cause living things to decay on contact. 3. The Gravitational power is Basic-Lashing. Order of Dustbringers (Specialty: Abrasion , Basic: Division ) 1. The 1st Abrasion Power is Slicking-we saw Lift demonstrate this one. 2. The 2nd Abrasion Power is likely related to Burning- Dustbringers manipulate friction to produce burning heat 3. The Division Power is Decay. Order of Truthwatchers (Specialty: Illumination, Basic: Progression) 1. The 1st Illumination Power is most likely related to Seeing-Lightweavers are able to manipulate waveforms so that they can see things-even the Future. 2. The 2nd Illumination power is most likely Lightweaving but my gut says its something else. 3. The Progression power is Regrowth. Order of Lightweavers (Specialty: Transformation, Basic: Illumination ) 1. The Illumination Power is Lightweaving 2. The 1st Transformation Power is Soulcasting 3. The 2nd Transformation power is unknown but I suspect It involves transforming ones essence into one of the essences-Ill call it Selfcasting Order of Elsecallers (Specialty: Transportation ,Basic: Transformation ) 1. The 1st Transportation Power is Realmatic transition also known as Elsecalling 2. The 2nd Transportation Power is Motion-My guess is that its will be some form of Telekinesis 3. The Transformation power is Soul-Casting Order of Willshapers (Specialty: Cohesion , Basic: Transportation ) The Transportation Power is Elsecalling The 1st Cohesion Power is likely what I call Shaping.-the power to Harden, Soften , increase Elasticity of objects by manipulating molecular bonds The 2nd Cohesion Power is likely what I call Bubble- the power to Slow down, accelerate and Freeze objects by manipulating molecular speeds Order of Stonewards (Specialty:Tension, Basic:Cohesion) 1, The 1st Tension Power is unknown and I have no guesses. Dont quite understand Tension 2. The 2nd Tension Power is equally unknown 3. The Cohesion Power is likely what I call Bubble Order of Bondsmiths (Specialty: Adhesion ,Basic: Tension ) 1. The 1st Adhesion Power is Full Lashing 2. The 2nd Adhesion power is Unknown and I have no guesses 3. The Tension Power is Unknown and I have no guesses

Yeah you're right it doesnt necessarily mean it will be set on Braize-jus thowing the theoryout there .And I actually see why a Radiant underground revolution could be a rehash of the conflict in Mistborn. BUT i think it could turn out differently-The Radiants fight on Braize would not be an Underground revolution-It would be a fight for survival on a hell-planet. Thats less V for Vendetta and more walking dead.It would be a Fight to escape Hell and return to their beloved Roshar.Odium would not be a dictator on Braize-rather hed be a sadistic joker who is using the entire planet to torture humanity. And yeah you are very right about the series progressing rapidly-Which is why I cldnt help wondering what was left for the 2nd series to deal with it.
