1. sadly, I agree. I think she’s likely to go through with it. I just keep wishing she wouldn’t because studying with Jasnah seems so awesome!

4. I’d really like to know the rest of Kal’s story too. Generally, I really like Sanderson’s writing, but I’m finding the delay in filling us in on what happened to Kal a bit contrived. Since obviously Kal knows what happened, I think we should know too!

5. I agree. It’s possible Sanderson has a much more complex explanation up his sleeve. I can’t wait to find out how everything fits together.

1. Although I hope that Shallan changes her mind about the left, I am not convinced that it is likely to happen because it the only solution she sees to her problem.

2. I agree, I presumed that he had gone back to the ship and would be sailing off into the sunset. However, we did get an awfully detailed look at him, so I would not be surprised if he returns at a later date.

4. There are so many questions and so many things I want to know about, but this is very near to the top of my list, along with how Kal became a slave.

5. I am in two minds about the idea of reincarnation. It seems to fit with the Prelude, but might be too simple for this author.

I don’t blame you! I’m a bit ahead and might also have just finished already if I weren’t listening to an audiobook. As is, it will be at least another 15 or 20 hours until I’m done. Oh audiobooks, how I both love and hate you.

I can’t wait to read your review once I’m finished. Then we can have a completely spoiler-y conversation about how awesome it is

I’m guessing Szeth’s slavery wasn’t originally self-imposed but unless they’re some magical component we’re unaware of, the interlude seems to suggest he’s voluntarily sticking with it.

I really like Dalinar’s character! He’s just such an honorable guy. I can’t wait to find out what’s up with the visions.

I always find myself getting lazy about posting this questions because I already finished the book for only 2 days. Heavens, it’s just so epic that I think I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I don’t read it fast enough.

I just don’t like Jasnah, I love her. In fact, I love all the characters including Szeth. Brandon really knows how to develop his characters. Argh.

I wish I could discuss a lot of my views without giving you spoilers. I think I might post later on Goodreads about this.

I too would really like to know why Szeth is punished with this unending slavery, and to seemingly random masters. Could it be self-imposed?

Dalinar is definitely interesting. Even without his fits and visions, he is such a driven man. He use to be a slacker, and he blames that part of himself for his brother’s death. But now he has these strict rules that hopefully will safeguard the current king and his own family.
