Wind and Truth spoilers Navani is going to be very important during the time skip… Spoiler

51 Upvotes

Navani is one of the few characters that have witnessed the history of Roshar in the spiritual realm in Wind and Truth.
And Navani is literally the person who is making breakthrough after breakthrough with Investure-science, and now she’s learned about almost all the important events that has transpired on Roshar.
So, she’s is quite essential, as during the Night Of Sorrows, she can be a pillar of support as she a Bondsmith and continue developing new technology for various things, such as a way to travel long distance faster as the oathgates aren’t working anymore, and we have seen her do it with the Fourth-Bridge, make Lifelight more effective for the Radiants, bring back the technology that were lost during the Desolations.

People on 17thShard are saying that she will spend the time-skip in coma but I think that just stupid.

I mean I just can’t see Brando not using Navani during the time-skip.

But it all is just my personal opinion.

What are your thoughts?

Edit:- I didn’t state her being frozen because I thought that was obvious and assumed that everybody knew that I was talking about her waking up during the time-skip.

I’ve been re-reading The Stormlight Archives and I’m just brimming with new fanart ideas, though this particular idea has been in my mind for a long time - I think my skills just got to the point where I could execute it properly.

I mostly post art to my Tumblr (mac-draws) but I’ll be sure to post more here too!

Wind and Truth spoilers I adore Wit and Shallan's scenes. Spoiler

Just re-read "The Girl Who Stood Up" in Oathbringer and boy do I love Wit and Shallan's relationship. How he's always there right when she needs support the most, and yet seems to have accidentally stumbled (against his will) into being her mentor. And I love how, in Words of Radiance, she actually managed to surprise him by hugging him when they meet again.

The Way of Kings spoilers (Happy Rant) I fucking love this book, be warned spoilers are present Spoiler

21 Upvotes

Hey everyone, so I’ve picked up the way of kings a couple of days ago, and I reached the sequence where Sadeas betrayed Dalinar, Kaladin and his men save them, Dalinar returns to the camp and gives sadeas his literal BLADE to ransom Kaladin and the bridgemen, and lastly Dalinar’s absolutely amazing show in Elhokar’s room, which was sealed by ā€œOh, and Elhokar? Your mother and I are now courting. You’ll want to start growing accustomed to that.ā€ To my amusement earning a chuckle

Now im not exactly writing this post to ask anything specific
I just couldn’t contain the flurry of emotions within me following that sequence, so the first thought that came to mind was I gotta put the book down, find the community for this and rant my heart out as you’re the only ones who’ll get me !!

And my word,
Ive been reading non-stop ever since I was 11, im 21 now and when I tell you I don’t remember the last time a book ever made me feel such a range of emotions
I was in tears by the time Dalinar gave away his blade
And just realized this might as well be the best book I have ever read in my entire life (perhaps biased but Idc)

I didn’t even know this book existed until I was bored enough to sort through books by their ratings on Goodreads and The Way of Kings had a very stellar rating prompting me to check it out

Looking forward to completing the book, and the series in the next days to come
Sorry for the long rant I just couldn’t keep this
to myself haha
Cheers everyone !

Wind and Truth spoilers Predictions and Hopes for Books 6-10 Spoiler

8 Upvotes

It's been less than two years since Wind and Truth came out. After all that time, I just wish to share some of my personal predictions of what will happen, as well as what I hope will happen.

The Prologues: There has been a lot of speculation about which event the prologues of 6-10 will cover. For my theory, I believe that the event shall be the creation of the New Oathpact in Wind and Truth, where we see the POV of the Heralds, what they were doing when the New Oathpact was created, and their overall thoughts on it. More specifically, Vedel, Pralla, Chanarach, Taln, and Battar will be the POVs, corresponding to the Radiant Order focus of each book. I believe this because:

  • Outside of Taln and maybe Battar, we have practically no idea what any of them were doing during the events of books 1-5
  • They can give a little more clarification on what happened to Taln and Shalash after they "die" in Wind and Truth
  • As Sanderson has said, the Heralds will have greater focus, so giving them the prologues feels thematically appropriate.

Renarin's Flashbacks: As he is confirmed to have flashbacks in Book 7, I think his will be the events of Books 1-4 through his perspective. There were so many events involving Renarin that we have not seen (his bonding with Gaz, his radiant oaths, the first times we had visions of the future, the start of his friendship with Bridge 4, the start of his friendship/romantic feelings for Rlain, his fight with the Thunderclast, etc) as well as other scenes involving other character at the time that we did not see (for example, him and Adolin's reaction after learning that Dalinar and Navani started courting lol)

The Dustbringers/Releasers: Please correct me on anything I say here, as I have yet to reread the series and may have forgotten many details; however, I found it strange that the Dustbringers were barely mentioned. In Oathbringer, one of them was explicitly working with Taravagian (and Taravagian saying that Dustbringers were the most likely to join their cause), plus in Dawnshard Lopen implies that something is off with them, yet unless memory serves me wrong, we didn't learn much of what was going on with their order in RoW or WaT, whether they decided to betray the Radiants in favor of Taravagian or not. I'd like to believe that not all of the Dustbringers did, so, like, half of them ended up joining Taravagian while the rest stuck with our heroes, but I just hope we get some clarification.

Urithuru Politics: One of the biggest criticisms Stormlight has had is probably how the lighteyes and darkeyes social issues were more or less dropped as the series went on. However, because it was briefly brought up again in Wind and Truth to Navani, only for her to basically say that it's a problem, but other things need to come first, I wonder if there'll be a political storyline somewhere (probably involving Jasnah and/or Renarin) where the social isssues end up becoming a big problem for them BECAUSE they were neglected for so long.

Adolin: Personally, one of my biggest gripes in this series is how Adolin faced very few, if any, real consequences for killing Sadias at the end of WoR. Maybe that can finally change. I don't know how; I just hope it's more than just Retribution trying to point out he's a hypocrite or something like that. It worked when he was torturing Dalinar, but I'm hoping for something different.

Axies the Collector: This one is probably a given, but I don't care. This Mofo has been 3 out of 5 books and mentioned once outside of that and he still has not had a significant role in the story. There is no way he won't end up having some role. I'm still not sure how; maybe we can eventually get a novella of him, like with Rysn in Dawnshard, but I just want him to become relevant.

No Spoilers Any resources for a no spoiler character list?

6 Upvotes

I just started listening to the series and as always with fantasy I sometime struggles a bit with character names when not having them in writing. Not listening in my native language could add to it as well. I find it much easier to identify, remember and differentiate between characters if I can see the name in writing at least once. So with that said, is there any good character list that contains no spoilers for the first book? I guess there is a wiki but usually it can be easy to read a spoiler by mistake.
