It has been 2000 goddamn pages. If Kaladin does not reveal himself in the grandest and coolest way possible by the end of this book, I might just kill someone out of frustration.

Brandy Branderson my man, please cut this man some slack. He's so depressed and I'm heavily PMSing. I'm crying every 20 pages, it's exhausting. Just give him someone to love and not chop off their head 10 minutes later, it's not that hard!

I knew Kaladin is known as a super depressed hero but my god is he depressed. Depressed leaders are relatable but I'm not sure if this is having the opposite effect on me or what.

I despised the slow world-building for half of the book. But after reading that conversation between Kabsal and Shallan with a full belly and a happy mind, I love that BranSan takes his own sweet time with things. So witty and so natural. Writers rush to get to the point but not this guy. He'll write a good 200 pages before we even know what the hell he's talking about. I'm starting to like that.

I want BranSan's brain to someday download and absorb the entire Indian histories and legacies that we know of and that are lost and then he could write fantasy/sci-fi books set in this subcontinent. I would gobble that up.

I teared up at Kaladin's brilliance with that side-running thing and when he realised the consequences of that. Hardcore survivor/Kelsier vibes. Kelsier and Kaladin better become BFFs somewhere sometime in the Cosmere ok.

Can't believe I am actually nervous to start reading this. Avoided it for two whole months like a wimp. No kidding, my stomach drops when I open this book. A behemoth undertaking, not only because of the 1001 pages but also the thorough world-building and just...information. No Kelsier? No Wax & Wayne? Who am I supposed to get attached to?? But time to put on my big girl reading glasses and get to it.

Why can't I read faster?! I can't wait to see her reaction when she finds out arghh.

Holy shit. I am actually losing my mind. Even though I accidentally went and spoiled some major things for myself, everything is still wildly unpredictable and coming at me at speeds hitherto unknown of.
I haven't devoured a 500+ page book at this rate in years and I am truly loving life right now.

Baby Vin is all grown up now, it's so cute. Elend and Vin though mm. Such 👏 a 👏 power 👏 couple. I want that.

Also, is HE back? 👀 Of course I know he is, I spend too much time on reddit forums to not spoil it for myself - I am who I am. BUT STILL. Excited to read those scenes. Also super excited to finish this so I can get to Secret History.

Goddamn Brandon Sanderson. I have never wanted dead villains to come back to life so that they can explain what in the hell is going on in this ridiculously and surgically well-thought out world. I almost don't want to finish this because I know I can't get through the next book fast enough. But the Sanderlanche awaits!

Why 👏 is 👏 Kelsier 👏 not 👏 in 👏 this? Why would you introduce such a fantastic fucking character and then not put him in every book in the series? Goddamn you Brandon Sanderson.

Looks like my favourite character is going to die in 50 pages. Just great. I want to stop reading but I simply can't. Gahhh how I love and don't love well written books.

Ron Weasley for the win.
