Hmmm. This Light stuff is interesting. I wonder if other Shards have similar forms of Investiture.
Really hope I get some answers about Ghostblood in this book, but with how little information we've gotten so far, my hopes are low.
BUT ARE ADOLIN AND GANG OKEY!?

I KNEW IT! IM SO SMORT FOR FIGURING OUT WHO THAIDAKAR WAS! I mean it was kinda obv, but still
I thought that my biggest criticism of this book would be the Venli/Eshonai stuff, but surprisingly their endings made me kinda emotional. Which is nice
AND KALADIN THE GOAT
Very little Dalinar, Adolin & Shallan screentime, which is kinda sad
Really have no idea where this will go in book 5, just gotta wait 1,5 years :(

This whole Light and Rhythm thing makes ma cosmere brain go crazy. AND RAYSIUM, IT'S HEMALURGY I TELL U! HEMALURGY!! At least partly.
And I'm 99% sure who Thaidakar is. Before now, my theory was a very wishful one, but I'm CERTAIN now.
YAY LIFT RESCUED, KALADIN AND TEFT HEALED AND REIN IS GAAAAAAAY

Dalinars powers are so fucking vauge and just don't fit into the "two Surges" per Order system. I mean, they probably make a lot of sense, I just don't understand yet.
Surgebinding=Character development magic system

Lmao Taravangian litterly had the same moment of realisation Vin had in Hero of Ages. Ig it is a vital thing to realise when fighting a Shard. Still, it did feel kinda copy n paste.
And stfu Lirin, Kaladin is trying his best, and you're a terrible father.
The pacing of the story does feel a bit weird in this book ngl, following a group of characters for 250 pages while ignoring the rest, and then vice versa.

Just two Shards to go, just two more shards to learn about. I mean, then there's all the vessels' names, what planet they reside upon, what magic system they power, and what the whole damn story is between them... fuck yeah, so much more to learn.
Like this Kaladin storyline and Adolin bonding with Maya is nice. Learning wtf Axial Interconnection is was nice too.
