Bro Wit telling Dalinar he’s been sleeping with Jasnah is wack. How old is this dude….multiple lifespans and you still kiss and tell? Ew.

I think the fatal flaw of this book is too much expansion. Book 1 built so that book 2 could blow you away. I assumed book 3 was just a flook. But with book 4 focusing so much on building, this book isn’t really giving a satisfying conclusion to that unfortunately.

Aw Szeth’s poor dad :(

Idk if it’s my culture talking but 18 is sooo young to get married. I understand in this world it’s for political reasons. But also only a couple months of engagement? This book is such an odd mix of old time culture and new age ideas.

If I’m being honest I’m having a hard time keeping track of everyone and how the story is progressing. I’ve been enjoying the Szeth flashbacks. Adolin lost a leg, Renarin and Relain are dating. I’m completely lost on Dalinar, Shallon, and Navani. Not a clue what’s going on with them. I don’t think Jasnah has been super present so I think I’m good there. Hoping it will all come together for me soon.

I don’t know why, but I don’t particularly care for Kaladin using therapy speak. I know that Kaladin is supposed to be righteous character in general, but hearing his inner monologue about Szeth kinda makes him sound self righteous. Maybe that is also because every person I’ve known who identifies as “the therapist friend” holds it over your head even when they haven’t helped as much as they think.

Dude poor Szeth :( Poor Molly. I would never condone murder but if I was young, someone barges into my house, eats my pet for dinner, and torments me?? Poor guy was traumatized by losing his pet and then traumatized again after killing that guy. He had every right to lose it.

Bruh so you’re telling me that Szeth is trying to just do his job so he can exit life permanently? Just get the job done and goodnight? I mean I guess I get it but dang.

Honestly pop off Szeth. I ain’t taking no advice from someone who doesn’t have things sorted themselves.

I’m sorry. What? Rock possibly being executed by his people? No bro idc we left off on Rock being reunited with his family and that’s it. He lives happily ever after. I’m chalking this up to Kaladin being a pessimist idc. Rock is happy and well fed and loved and that’s cannon. Idc idc.
