Michael Portz he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Well this series intrigues me as I have been a reader of Fantasy and Epic Fantasy since I was a kid. I have invested intellectually, mentally, and emotionally in several series over the years, books that require re-reading over and over again between new releases. I started The Wheel of Time the year after it came out, same with A Sword of Ice and Fire, I think one of the few I discovered where there were more than the first or second books was The Chronicles of Amber, which I started reading in High School. These books are my "friends", I have known the characters by name and personality longer than most people I know. Some of them I have grown up with, Some were with me while I raised my children, and now I will have The Stormlight Archive that I will grow old with. Well spoken ... I ll upvote as soon as you correct "Sword" ... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natans he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) See, at this point I am not even sure if Peter knows what that line is, off the top of his head. It strikes me as very likely that he is doing purely for our torture. Of course, there is one way I could be proven wrong... I sure hope that Peter keep hang on in the forum after release so we can tell him ahhhhhhh i see what you have done there and there and there too (repeat ad infinitum). He are like the 17th Shard "Personal Marketing Program" with all his: Wait and see. RAFO'S. And hooks that he drop here and there =) This sure helped build my hype.(Kind like Jake Saloman of 2K) One question Peter do you pretend make some kind of review after the book are released?

+eveorjoy she/her Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 As if the darkness itself had come alive, something wrapped around her. It pulled her farther into the deep. My guess: this is from a Shallan flashback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaring at the Survivor he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) As if the darkness itself had come alive, something wrapped around her. It pulled her farther into the deep. I swear we already saw this in one of the preview chapters. The Jasnah flashback, when she first went to Shadesmar.Edit: Nope totally not! Just checked again. Now I'm guessing this is a Shallan flashback. Edited February 27, 2014 by Stroniax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogle Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Shipwreck ho! Maybe the Santhid grabs her or something. Assuming it's Shallan or Jasnah. I don't think we know of any other characters on boats. Edited February 27, 2014 by Moogle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duskshard he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) As if the darkness itself had come alive, something wrapped around her. It pulled her farther into the deep. Shallan as a child? Eshonai Maybe? ? Could this be her changing into stormform? or a different new form. Being pulled into the deep suggests water, so this could be from chapter 7, Shallan ends up in the water perhaps.

Terra of Roshar she/her Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Yeah, my first thought was that it was either a shipwreck in Chapter 7 or a trip to Shadesmar. Either way, it's almost certainly Shallan. Edit: Eshonai Maybe? Ooh, yes. Maybe a new form? This is how they change forms? So many possibilities if it's Eshonai...

Argent he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 The language makes me think of Shadesmar, but knowing that's possible for Jasnah and Shallan to go for an emergency swim, that's also likely. Eshonai embracing a stormform, while possible, just doesn't strike me as likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Too obvious to be Darkness himself coming for Shallan? Edited February 27, 2014 by The Count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent he/him Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Doesn't feel right. Ym's account of his encounter with Darkness didn't have anything like the same feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asha'man Logain Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I say, how has there not been speculation on the similarity of Rosharan (or at least Alethi) money and the apparent cognitive aspects of things in Shadesmar? I wonder what the connection is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kersplattle Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm with Moogle on this, sounds like Shallan is in the water, maybe in Chapter 7, after the fire on board the ship. The Santhid "rescues" her in some way, and this is the action being described. I think I'm going to locate each "glimpse" in the book when I get it and see how close to the actual setting I was in each case. Probably just a case of ritual humiliation in seeing just how far off the mark I was, but it could be amusing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marianmi Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Shallan. Either flashback or going into Shadesmar for the first time (after the incident with Jasnah). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khyrindor he/him Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ahh ... this one I think is more Cosmere related? a reply to Hoids letter? Since Hoid is his masters name that he "stole" The gemstone being dead though, I have no idea.. My only ideas are that this refers to either the black sphere that Szeth hid, or whatever it was that Hoid had that he was keeping? though that is referred to as an element, not a gem. really no clue on a dead gemstone.

Gloom he/him Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 What is the spoiler here? it won't show. PM me Does that mean you can't see this spoiler either? The spoiler was that Hoid took his masters name. Hoid was, and note that this is not cannon since it is from an unpublished book, Topaz. That being said, this quote makes it partially cannon if this is the correct interpretation. The name Topaz may be what is being referred to as the gemstone.

Glaring at the Survivor he/him Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Adolin screamed something raw, a sound that echoed in his helm. He ignored the shouts of soldiers, the sound of rain, the sudden and unnatural crack behind him. He ran to the body on the ground. This is Adolin, finally coming to terms that he's in love with a Parshendi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondMind he/him Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 This is Adolin, finally coming to terms that he's in love with a Parshendi. Shallan is a Parshendi?? So much makes sense now... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogle Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Anyone else remember that time that Peter told us he would never have approved a glimpse if it showed Kaladin or Lopen flying? Yeah. I didn't believe him either. Clearly this is Shallan playing around with illusions when Adolin accidentally surprises her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
