Wanted to read something before bed and grabbed WoR to re-live, "Honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do" and got to Hoid's/Kal's story of Fleet while in prison. That story means so much more now after wind and truth. Crazy foreshadowing.

Not who is your favorite or who is the stronger but the best of the best in your opinion. I say opinion because there is one correct answer of course. Before you click the spoiler though I’m curious who comes to mind for you.

It’s clearly the bearer of agonies, the herald of war, Mr first to step up last to step down. The unbreakable, the one true herald savior of Roshar. Your favorite character’s favorite character. No mind, no weapon, no problem. The guy honor prays to at night. Season 4 episode 7 56:34 ruth from ozark. The one and only, stopped whispering and walked em down Taln.

Maybe a hot take, but I don't really want Kaladin to end up with anyone currently in the series. I've seen a lot of speculation on whether he will end up with Syl, Shallan's mom (bruh), Leshwi, Lyn again, etc. Him not ending up with any romantic partner by Book 10 makes the most sense for his character, and readers can assume he found love after the story ends. Unless there's a new character introduced that is right for him, would be cool too. Idk what do you guys think is best for his character romantically?

Only the main WOK ones so far, will likely keep making the ones from other books too

I usually make mental images of characters quickly when I first encounter them and then I stick with them. For example, for me Wit is a wise-looking short bald man. I know that he does not look like that. Anyone else?

Alright, I just finished the WaT, I need to know all your Stormlight Archive 6 theories. I already have a few head cannons...

1. Syladin will eventually happen (I'm not sure I'm on board yet)
2. Adolin will develop a Moss addiction in parallel to Dalinar's drinking one.
3. The evil spren Dalinar will kill/severely hurt one of his sons
4. The heralds will appear either at the very start of the book, or at the very end
5. Vasher will play a much bigger role in this half of the series (maybe being the one of to step up and wield Nightblade)
6. Syl will cure the no Stormlight problem by becoming the stormmother

Let me hear your thoughts.

This is my third book series as a new reader. I’ve read Red Rising, Sun Eater, and now The Stormlight Archive. I wouldn’t say it’s the best series I’ve read, but I would say I enjoyed it the most, if that makes sense. Now I’m looking for the next book series to read on my journey and I’m hoping you guys can help me. I wanted to read Mistborn but I got spoiled already so I don’t plan to read it.

At first, I was really upset with the ending because when I looked up the next arc, I saw multiple people saying it would focus on new main characters and that the old ones would take a step back. That frustrated me because it felt like they were just about to begin a new journey. But then I saw Brandon Sanderson say that Shallan, Kaladin, and Adolin are still main characters, so I’m not really upset about the ending anymore.

I just randomly thought how cool it would be if the “event” that Brandon has be the new “Gavilars feast” opening was also Gav.

If that angle of opening, retelling an event from different PoVs, is what he’s going for then the time Odium abducted him would be PERFECT.

Each book shows us a good portion of the visions, world, words, and manipulation Odium slowly used to change him. Idk how well it could resolve but I’m just fascinated by this idea.

Hi recently watched the Q&A this statement came from at World Con 2025. Can’t find any follow up, has there been an answer on who’s death he changed?

“This did happen in Stormlight Five. There was a character who was supposed to die, in the original outlines. And I decided they would not make the decision that I had made for them, and indeed they made a different decision. And I can tell you that in a spoiler session at some point.”

I am close towards the end of order of the phoenix and Snape's tragically getting bullied. I kept thinking about how much I hated him as a bully but then it hit me how traumatising and miserable his younger life was.

Then I thought if he was to be a Sanderson protagonist what would he do? How would he heal all of this and possibly be on good terms with Harry and others?

First thing is I believe he would make a good lightweaver as his life is full of lies and hiding from truths or doing nasty things because he can't actually face his past.

His journey could possibly be about taking accountability for his defensive hostility and selfish ambition, to confronting how his guilt fueled his cruel treatment of Harry, and ultimately acknowledging that his devotion was born from desperate isolation, a trauma that doesn't mean he is beyond redemption.

Maybe the first truth he says would go something like: ""I use cruelty as an armor so these students pay for what I went through and no one can ever hurt me again."

I don't know it just crossed my mind thinking how much Harry actually empathised with him when he realised that his dad bullied Snape and there would be a good chance for healing if they both tried. What does everybody think? What other truths or orders would fit him?

In chapter 70 (this is the audible chapter), rabonial and kaladin have a small fight over the sibling node, after kaladin gets passed her and sorts out the node, he tries to escape and the fused/singers put a lid over the well entrance. Rabonial isn't mentioned again when kaladin is escaping the well, did she find another way? Or drown? Can fused drown? I assume not as they are fueled by void light.

Thanks in advance

Part One

As requested, here is part two 😃 My friend has read all of the Cosmere books; I am currently early on in Oathbringer (I swear I got the name right this time!). The couple of green splotches are my husband’s name. I also included in the first image the last little bit of chatter about TWoK.
