Thanks for starting the thread! I'm trying to read but... I've obviously forgotten a lot ha ha ha. it has been 5 years since the last book!

Wow that is a long time. For me it was 3 years ago that I read book 4. I've forgotten a lot as well.

For me it is doable so far. Though I don't understand everything.
I've read prologue - 6.

I have now read 7-interlude 2
(view spoiler)[ What are the heavenly ones? Are they the fused ?
Edit: yes they are

I like the sketch of the music spren. They are pretty

It sounds like Shallan has become more powerful. Do you think making Radiant real made her feel so dizzy? Interesting that the creation spren are now following her. She reached the 4th ideal so now had got a shard plate. Not sure how many ideals there are.

(hide spoiler)]

Ok I'm up to this too.

Liking the new look for Shallan!
Not sure how many ideals there are though I'm tempted to say 7, just because lol

I'm loving these 2 POVs so far though i am missing Adolin too. And I'm so happy to see Maya talking & somewhat functioning

What do you mean with the new look for Shallan?
lol I think there are 5? Not sure.

I think there are 7 types of Radiants? So maybe 5 ideals, dunno lol

The beads is what I mean...

I've read to end of ch 20

I just finished chapter 20 as well and am planning to keep reading

(view spoiler)[
That loophole Odium is using sounds really bad for them.

Hope Shallan will be able to take care of the ghosts

Chapter 21-27
(view spoiler)[
Becoming a god sounds bad, but might solve things if it goes well.

I enjoy Shallan's and Kalladin's point of view.

I also like Szeth's story from the past. I am sure them moving the stone will somehow end up with Szeth having to obey everything his master says. I'm curious what will happen next.

I do want to know what happens next with Shallan. So I'll read chapter 28 and then call it a day for today (hide spoiler)]

I've read to end of ch 28 too and enjoying Szeth's story!

29 - interlude 4
(view spoiler)[
I hope we found out soon what happened to Dalinar and the others when the ghosts interrupted.

Chapter 40 - 50
I'm really enjoying the book

69-interlude 14 (next chapter is 88).
(view spoiler)[
Idon't like tha tthey are prediccting that Sigzil will die. Ilike him. He was showing such growth. Hopefully they can prevent his death

I do like that we got some romance, even though it is only holding hands.

The battle seemed to have been bad. Poor Adolin. I'm not sure if they will really grow back his leg. He seems to just have accepted it and went on. I'm still not sure where Taln came from, but he seemed have saved the day.

I didn't understand Lift's obsession with the chicken. Good thing she did because she rescued that man.

I have been thinking why Gav is there with them. Is he going to take Honor's powers? I've been thinking that for a while now.

88-interlude 16
(view spoiler)[I feel sorry for Szeth. I don't think accepting to become a herald is the right thing. Hopefully he will decide for himself what to do (hide spoiler)]

100-interlude 18
(view spoiler)[I like that we are learning more about the gods and the stormfather (hide spoiler)]

126-137
(view spoiler)[I knew Gav had to be there for a reason, but I never thought he would be used as the champion (hide spoiler)]

138-end
(view spoiler)[Still a lot of open ends. I don't think i understand everything.
The author is planning more books. I wonder if those will be set many years in the future with a set of new characters. I think he will probably do that, since he did the same with the Mistborn series (hide spoiler)]
