"Shallan had found that no matter how bad things got, someone would be making tea."

Well, some say that's what Brughel's Icarus and Auden's Musee des Beaux Arts is about. =)

Well... I wish I could read a bit more. But it's time to breath in some stormlight and: back to programming I go.

And let me say this one thing. This book is gargantuan. Words of Radiance was huge and it would have ended by now, but I still have one third of Oathbringer to go. Not a complaint... just an observation.

Ok... let's just hope Shallan comes back to her senses now. Poor Grund.

I have to say it again. Parshendi are the most interesting fantasy race I've ever seen. The way they are presented, between the doubts of them being somehow telepaths, then listeners or singers, shows how much Sanderson understands how to create a web of different character perspectives that points to, and might eventually converge on a revelation of, their true nature.

The second part is a lot better than the first. And I really like the fact that Bridge 4 members are getting more screen time.

I have no idea where this march is going. Anyway. Some spoilers: I like the suggestion of the origin of ancient spren as ideas from creatures of a different and more divine nature.
