This is even better the second time around:) Kaladin's story doesn't sound all that depressing when you know there;s light at the end of the tunnel.

Well done, Dalinar! Now we're talking:)

Great revelations:) I hope Kaladin manages to play the savior this time;)

"In some countries, it is seen as displeasing to fight at all. To the Shin, for instance, if you must fight a man, then you have already failed. Killing is, at best, a brutish way of solving problems.”

I love this wording of the philosophy of nonviolence.

“World spinning. What foolishness is this?”
“The foolishness of men who care, Dalinar,” Wit said. “And the brilliance of those who do not. The second depend on the first — but also exploit the first — while the first misunderstand the second, hoping that the second are more like the first. And all of their games steal our time.

End of Chapter 48. What did just happen?

“So, could we not say that mathematics exists outside the Almighty, independent of him?”
“Perhaps.”
“Well,” Jasnah said, “I simply claim that morality and human will are independent of him too.”
“If you say that,” the king said, chuckling, “then you’ve removed all purpose for the Almighty’s existence!”
“Indeed.”

I love Yasnah:)

Enough for today. Not that I've got more time...

I'm enjoying Kaladin's and Dalinar's chapters a lot but I'm starting to miss Shallan.
