This is going to be a mess! Maybe Syl will come to him in the last minute. Chapter 83: Now it's Adolin's turn to fight Eshonai. Shallan gets closer to finding the gate, and Dalinar gets called Son of Honor like Kaladin. Moash and Kaladin fail to convince one another, and now it looks like they're going to fight. 84: The Shardblade fit into the keyhole that Shallan found! OMG Szeth is on the Shattered Plains among the battling characters, aaaahhh!!!! A good thing, though, because there aren't that many chapters left! As expected, Syl returned to Kaladin in the nick of time after he said the Third Ideal, and... turned into a Shardblade?? But I thought she hated Shards! Turns out Graves is on Taravangian's team. In fact, my theory is that he and his little group are actually the Ghostbloods! Maybe? Anyway, now Kaladin had better put Elhokar somewhere safe real quick and head toward Dalinar at terminal velocity if you know what I mean... There is a reason why Syl hates Shardblades. I it's going to be explained soon. Kal swearing 3rd Ideal is one of the most satisfying and exciting moments in this book. 8 hours ago, Amira said: SA2, chapter 85: This bit from the Diagram: But who is the wanderer, the wild piece [...] - is that about Hoid?? This cracked me up: "Rats had a better chance fighting a chasmfiend." Dalinar, Adolin, and the bridgemen fight Szeth! I liked the part where Dalinar realizes he couldn't have saved Gavilar even if he hadn't been drunk. And then Kaladin shows up! Yay Kaladin! And now for the rematch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, you got what you've wanted! And this chapter also revealed who was writing the numbers after Dalinar's visions and why. 7 hours ago, Amira said: It is past midnight; happy birthday. I am 32 in case you were wondering. I need to sleep badly so I will read about Kaladin vs Szeth in the morning, or, you know, later in the day. Nice birthday gift Happy Birthday! You left yourself an amazing gift! I admire you, I wouldn't be able to stop reading in the middle of the climax.

I'm still not sure what this means, so I hope we find out a lot more in the coming books. Yes, all Shardblades are dead sprens. That's why they scream in Kal's head. You've already seen in WoK Dalinar's vision (ch 52, Feverstone Keep) the moment those sprens were killed. Now Shallan and Kaladin both have living Shardblades, but not every order gets their at the same time, for Windruners it's 3rd Ideal, for others it might be earlier. Yet it still should be confusing with Shallan. The book is still not over yet. Kaladin and Szeth fight was sooo epic. I love it. Did it satisfy your expectations? Was it worth waiting? We will have to wait to know why Szeth was Truthless for book 5. There are some hints in the books, but no full picture yet. Quote Things seemed to have really shifted in this book. The war with the Parshendi is over? Szeth is no longer killing... What's book 3 going to be about??? I bet Kaladin will become the leader of the new Knights Radiant. Everstorm has come. Voidbringers are back. Desolation has started. There is plenty of problems waiting for them to solve in book 3! Remember the first ever Death Rattle in the prologue of WoK? "It is but a thousand days, and the Everstorm comes." It was already predicted, and Death Rattle was collected around 1000 days before the finale of WoR. Quote My rep says I'm Wyrn the King.

It's okay, Kaladin basically asks Syl about the Shardblades being dead spren in the next chapter. SA2, chapter 87: So wait, if Blades are dead spren, what does that make Plate? Let's talk about Rlain. I really like that Bridge Four has a Parshendi member, but when I thought he was a parshman, I was getting excited to see his development, thinking we would learn something about the parshmen. Turns out he was parshendi all along... The parshendi that fled into the chasms are the other loose thread I want to hear about, but that might only come in book 3. Now absolutely everyone knows about Shallan being a surgebinder, and Kaladin straight out flew in front of everyone, and not during the confusion of battle, either. It's official then, he's done hiding, yay!! This is what I was waiting for. I loved how upset he was at the prospect of becoming a Lighteyes. Deal with it, Kaladin! I wonder if it's Kaladin saying the 3rd ideal that prompted all of Bridge Four to suddenly become surgebinders. It doesn't look like they have spren either (unless the spren are just about to show themselves?) I wonder if rather than bonding with spren, Kaladin's powers somehow extend to them. Lopen is going to grow his arm back using Stormlight? Nice!!!! This only makes me more confused as to why Kaladin's brand hasn't disappeared.

Quote Lopen is going to grow his arm back using Stormlight? Nice!!!! This only makes me more confused as to why Kaladin's brand hasn't disappeared. magical healing in the cosmere resets you to your cognitive identity; roughly speaking, the way you think of yourself. so it's very much a case of "your mind - with a generous helping of investiture - makes it real" lopen lost an arm, but he never really accepted the loss; his idea of himself healty includes having two arms, and so his missing arm is regrowing. on the other hand, kaladin feels the scars as part of himself, so they stay. it really depends a lot on an individual, whether an old wound gets magically healed or not. it can get even more strange; a transsexual character (a very minor one, only appears in a couple chapters) changes sex by tapping healing - without meaning to, completely by accident - because deep down she always felt her original body was wrong, and it should have been different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information isn't really a spoiler for any of the stories specifically but does relate to some Cosmere "big picture" concepts The narrator is Lopen - that is how he refers to himself (because he's the only Lopen he knows) Spoiler WoB: Quote Questioner Why doesn't the Stormlight heal Kaladin's slave brands? Brandon Sanderson Because, in the cosmere, most healing works by how you perceive yourself. You will get more information on the Realms (Spiritual, Cognitive and Physical) though this and other stories, but the nutshell is: Spoiler Healing in the Cosmere (Stormlight and other versions) is that the Investiture is trying to heal your Physical self to match your Spiritual Self - as filtered through how you think of yourself (Cognitive Self) - Kaladin's brands have not healed because on a fundamantal level he still views himself as a (former) slave. 57 minutes ago, Amira said: SA2, chapter 88: After all of Shallan's efforts to infiltrate the Ghostbloods, they figured her out.

She kept hiding from him. “There was a Cryptic at the fight,” her voice said softly. “You mentioned those before, didn’t you? A type of spren?” “A revolting type.” She paused. “But not evil, I don’t think.” She sounded begrudging. “I was going to follow it, as it fled, but you needed me. When I went back to look, it had hidden from me.” “What does it mean?” Kaladin asked, frowning. “Cryptics like to plan,” Syl said slowly, as if recalling something long lost. “Yes . . . I remember. They debate and watch and never do anything. But . . .” “What?” Kaladin asked, rising. “They’re looking for someone,” Syl said. “I’ve seen the signs. Soon, you might not be alone, Kaladin.” Also - Epilogue! Final reveal that you may or may not have seen coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a title from Mistborn Era 2. Similar to the way Windrunner means you have access to the Surges of Gravitation and Adhesion. Or, if you may recall from starting Mistborn before, where "Thug" was the nickname for person with Hammond's ability. Spinner is the "nickname" for a user of s specific ability. Slight non-story spoiler: Spoiler Nicknames usually indicate one ability, some indicate two abilities** Era 1: Coinshot Lurcher Rioter Seeker Smoker Soother Thug (Pewterarm) Tineye Era 2 (all of above, plus): Spoiler Archivist Augur Bloodmaker Brute Connector Firesoul Gasper Gnat Leecher Nicroburst Oracle Pinnacle Pulser Sentry Skimmer Slider Soulbearer Sparker Spinner Steelrunner Subsumer Trueself Windwhisper ** most of those are still unknown because there is supposedly a different name for any combination of two. So if you see these terms you'll know it's likely a Mistborn reference. BTW - you can cheat and see the list here, thought it unfortunately doesn't show the reference for each.

I used to place him as my second favorite character of all time, but as I reread, I find myself liking him less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
