So as not to clutter the Sanderson thread for those who aren't caught up.

Let do this. If you are reacting to something post the chapter number then spoiler tag it?

Fighting Texas Aggie Class of 2012

Chapter 6

I was not ready for Dalinar to name Kaladin his heir

No productive comment here, but thanks for the PSA to re-read Oathbringer to catch back up!

Chapter 12

The scene where Kaladin is finally able to get the Bridge Four-head tattoo brought tears to my eyes while I was grabbing lunch at a Tex mex place.

Ch59 more general comments than any spoiler.

i'm on day 5 and it just keeps getting crazier and crazier. Dalinar's story in particular. Wasn't expecting Szeth's backstory to be so interesting.

I love how each prologue gives us a bit more information on Galivar and everything that kinda kick started the series. I was surprised to learn that he actually cares for navani but is trying to push her away before he ascends, and he thinks so little of Dalinar. Totally opposite to his outside actions. It was also kinda funny seeing his interactions with restares and nale and his ignorance about a great many things. When stormfather says a herald died. I assume that shallan was killing her herald mother the same night as the assassination?

I think Adolin and Syl are my favorite characters

I think so. This prologue when Brandon released it last year was considered a feather in the cap of proponents of that theory

Should say I have no idea of that is in fact true or not. Only 200 pages in

I'm on chapter 21, and there has been no mention about all the progress navani made with the various lights and tones. No spoilers, but do these come into play at all?

There's no time jump between the Rythm of War and Wind and Truth so they're there's not much of a chance to expound on it.

I don't necessarily need more explanation on it, just some consequences from that large storyline and name of the previous book. Now that I've gotten further there is some anti-light, but there is no follow up or usage on the other lights and rhythms

there are a few instances of people interpreting tones of light between Navani, Venmo, Rlain, etc. but not major plot importance thus far (Ch 63). Not that mad about it, the direction that Sanderson is taking us with new wrinkles to the Rosharan magic system (connection, tension, and division abilities, deadeye consequences, etc.) is much more interesting imo.

Don't buy it. a shardblade can't kill a herald. Only the special blades

Anything could kill a herald's body, they are just normally sent back to Braize after dying. Then they were tortured until they give in to Odium, which started another desolation. The way Jezrien is killed in OB was a different process. It trapped his soul until it lost its connection to the Oathpact, destroying him.

Yes.

I won't post it but someone posted a very interesting synopsis of the Worldhopper Ball at dragonsteel nexus on Reddit. It was billed as an interactive novella showcasing shallans wedding. There was an interesting guest who interrupted the proceedings

I have not reached anything in WaT that would relate to this but it feels like it will play a prominent part of the story at some point

maybe the scion of a herald with the Intent could do so?

Ok I guess lots of options. And I guess Brandon could fit most anything. We'll see. I'm only a day into WaT so looking forward to it.

The chapter icons are a nice touch, audiobookers should take a gander every so often.

Spoilers through ch 64

so based on the chapter I just read that showed the founding of the oathpact and ending with "Honor" attacking renarin, I'm guessing this kinda debunks the theory that shallan's mom was a herald since she would have surely recognized her there, unless of course that was iyatil (sp?) Posing as shallan and talking to ren

My bad this is my first spoiler thread. I'm usually late to the game with stuff, or just post regular reviews on new media

Spoilers for ch 81

leyton's death rattle predicts sigzil's death, but we know from sunlit man he survives. Iirc he changes radiant orders so maybe the death of his strength does happen? I wonder if his survival is related to the dawnshard he will hold for a time? At first I was hoping that this meant moash dies before he has a chance to fulfill the prophecy, but after further consideration idk. All my homies hate moash
