"Journey Before Destination" was even more meaningful when Navani said it because those were the only words Elhokar couldn't say.

***Spoilers for Mistborn at the end*** I loved how Cultivation beat everyone without ever showing her face. She did it in a way that was so true to her shard's essence. She planted seeds years ahead of time gifting Dalinar, Tarivangian, and Lift to encourage them to grow into exaclty who she needed them to become. She doesn't fight like a warrior but like a gardener. I also wonder whether she misjudged Taravangian, he is so much more terrifying than Rayse. I always felt that Odium seemed far too incompetent to be the big bad of the series, now we know why. It was all a set up for the real villain. This is just like in Mistborn when you think the emperor guy is bad until you discover Ruin. Sanderson at his best.

That whole scene reminded me of a movie, I just don't remember what. Maybe the Matrix? Maybe a marvel movie? Its a scene where a bunch of bad guys are giving a dude a hard time, and he turns on the real skill and drops everyone. I feel like the guy knocks people out of their bodies and changes gravity on them maybe? Possibly iron man, where he uses the parts of his suit to tie bad guys together? It is right on the edge of my mind. Spiderman, maybe? Where he hits a bunch of guys with webs and hangs them or locks them down with fluid ease. Maybe it was Thanos in Endgame or Infinity war just wrecking the avengers on Titan. Possibly Donny Yen in IP Man. I feel like this is the one. He ties his enemies up seemingly without trying at all. He just puts them down like a bunch of over eager puppies. Damn, it will come to me at some point.

I love the hype that this part sets up for the next book. Never been more excited to wait for a sequel. The part of Taravangian ascending to Odium and messing around with Wit is just terrifying and such a "WTF, that doesn't look good, something has gone really wrong here" type of moment that I haven't seen in a Sanderson book since WoA.

For some reason Tien's death remains the saddest death in the stormlight archive

@tannerweinheimer7839

8 ай бұрын

As a one-two punch between books 1 and 5 Tien is the most powerful cathartic arc. But its nature as a flashback played out in my mind as a kind of greyscale slow-motion shot. There was a sense of inevitability from the moment Kaladin is able to see Tien from across the battlefield that somehow, in my opinion, makes it easier to swallow. It happened in the past. As a reader you could see it coming. There was no chance of salvation. But Elhokar's death..... that was devastating. Seeing him struggling to fight through his wounds with so many surrounding enemies, you kinda brace yourself for someone important to die- but then you see him speaking the first ideal. You see a nearby spren ready to give him strength. You lower your guard and begin to hope. And then WHAM! It was all just a feint by Sando before the brutal, cold-blooded murder.

i cried like 2 times during this book... 1 was the Maya scene at the trial (i was listening to the audiobook and in that scene the performance was 11/10), those were tears of joy and then the Kaladin and Tien vision, there i cried like a freakin baby, especially when Kaladin says the words.

Great wrap up! Man, I forgot how much was in this Part! The Jasnah/Wit relationship is so interesting. I couldn't tell if they were "involved" before (and was kind of hoping they weren't) but their dynamic is so unusual and somehow fitting. I loved the part where Kaladin is reunited with Syl and she just makes a beeline for him. I love that she's also recovering from her own struggles along with our boy. The fight with the Pursuer was mind-blowing, but terrifying to me, with Kal under the influence of Odium. I also just ate up how El called the Pursuer "Defeated One" at the end. Like he was just completely shut down and disgraced. (Also, is El being set up as the Big Bad for the next book?) Teft losing his spren was heartbreaking, but at least he didn't have to love without her... :( It was so tender to see their moments together before the end (painful foreshadowing in retrospect) Man, the scenes with Kal falling and the reunion with Teft. I was bawling. Heck, just listening to your recap made me tear up! Such a beautiful way to close that circle and give him some much-needed healing. I love how Rlain has come from a forgettable side character to become a major player in events. I was so pleasantly surprised at the twist that the weird cremling following him around was the spren waiting to bond him! I guess after "Dawnshard", I look much more suspiciously at every mention of a cremling... :| The part with Ishar trying to steal Dalinar's bond with the Stormfather?? 8-O And the spren experiments, sooooo damn creepy. The slow reveal in that part is terrifying. What the heck has he been up to? I agree, I loved the setup for Szeth in the next book. Sounds like we're going to hear much more about the Honorblades and Shin society. The conversation between Taravangian and Cultivation was awesome. Just mindblowing how his intelligence and emotions were a setup to take over the shard of Odium. Though it seems it may not all go according to plan. Can't wait to see how that plays out. I hadn't considered how that changes the stakes of the upcoming confrontation with Dalinar. Should be an incredible scene to read!! Leshwi is another super interesting, multi-faceted character. I am so intrigued by the Fused and their ambiguous motivations. It's cool to see how the Epilogues have shifted from "Wit witnessing important events" to "Wit being the center of important events". I had no idea he was going to become such a central player in this story. Thanks so much for making this such a fun experience to read along with you! Can't wait to watch your next lore videos.

there are so many little things that stood out to me in the last part of this book. when kaladin goes into his frenzy he was described as erupting in a red-gold light reminiscent of something not revealed entirely as the sentence was cut off, navani learning to listen for the rhythms and understand them immediately as a singer would, raboniel and navani actually singing together to combine lights, raboniel turning on moash in the end and doing everything in her power to keep him from killing navani out of sheer respect and will to end the war, nightblood actually drinking rayse's investiture until they were full, deadeyes besides maya being implied to be recoverable, just so much stuff to think about. and I didn't put it together that thaidakar was who he was until you mentioned it and I am absolutely reeling at the implications of what that means considering exactly the kind of person he is and what he's capable of. I know this comment is super scattered and rambly but my head is spinning right now as I only finished the book a few hours ago

It was engaging enough to keep me reading it, but I just didn't have any strong feelings about it one way or another. It was just kinda "meh" to me.

From what book though? I don’t remember that ether

Kaladin is a beast. He bested the Pursuer multiple times in that fight when he had access to only 1 of his surges and wouldn’t have been able to heal himself if he had been badly wounded. The thing that really got me about Kaladin jumping off the roof of Urithiru was when Dalinar and the Stormfather were watching him fall and Dalinar thinks “It wasn’t the bearing of a man who was fighting. Nor was it the bearing of someone who rode the winds. It was the bearing of someone who had given up.” Ugh. Punch to the gut. Kaladin’s vision with Tien and Teft’s death both made me cry. Love Teft ♥️ I was a little underwhelmed by Shallan’s conversation with Mraize to be honest because he has been built up to be a mysterious and frightening person whom you don’t want to mess with. But Shallan just makes him look like a chump. It kind of took some of the impact of his character away for me. I hope he is able to do something big in book 5. I feel like too much needs to happen for the story to wrap up in 10 days! I really enjoyed that whole section with Ishar. I had a feeling Kaladin would end up getting involved with helping heal the broken minds of the Heralds. I really hope he can help Taln specifically. After seeing what an effortlessly lethal fighter Ishar is with the Bondsmith Honorblade and then the Stormfather says Ishar is an average fighter compared to the other Heralds, but Taln is by far the best. Damn. If a sane Taln could get hold of that Honorblade and end up being Dalinar’s champion, that would be nuts. But again, his brain won’t be fixed in 10 days! I’m assuming Dalinar will somehow fight with that blade. But can he fight with an Honorblade if he is bonded to the Stormfather? I don’t think so. I’m assuming Taravangian still looks like Rayse because Wit called him Rayse and didn’t seem to think Odium looked at all different, just that he acted different. I thought Odium had just taken Taravangian’s body but he still has Taravangian’s mind so I’m not sure how this works. Does Odium just give you his strength and desires but you still stay yourself as well? Couldn’t quite wrap my head around that. Kaladin using his shard plate to shield others, Leshwi abandoning Odium and fighting for the Radiants, The Sibling being restored, Moash going blind, Rlain bonding a spren. So many great moments. Can’t wait for book 5 ♥️

I had a thought about one of the consequences on Taravangian's ascension. Sja-anet was afraid of what odium would do to her if he knew her plans.

Taravangian was prepared for the shard through the diagram and accepting the need to destroy all, even his friends and innocent children, who would stand in its way. Does the shard seek the destruction of the other shards, or was that powered by Rayse's knowledge of the shattering?

Kaladin was having a full on conversation with Tien and Tien was already aware that he was killed. Is it possible he is in the spiritual realm or could be a cognitive shadow and that Kaladin was actually speaking with him? Or is it just a result of the bond between Kal and Dalinar coming to fruition?

Thaidakar´s identity is revealed during Shallan´s and Mraize´s conversation in Lasting Integrity, towards the end of the book, if I remember correctly. His (Thaidakar´s) name is not explicitly stated, but it is hinted in such a way that it will make you remember a character you might have read before (if you are a Cosmere enthusiast).

Hearing you gush about this series make me so excited knowing there are others out there who feel similar to me. Side note, Shallan's first spren...hmmm....I wonder if she could potentially restore that cryptic? Will Maya eventually get fully restored through Adolin? I hope so!

I loved the way sanderson made odium scary again. Raize was defeated twice in a short period of time. No longer a good bad guy. He is now expected to lose. Having a new man at the helm though im so stoked to see what sanderson does. I wonder if we may not see a full uniting of roshar. We know that sanderson is setting up for galactic scale. We saw our first glimpse of faster than light movement in lost metal. Maybe book five will be more a cold war. Maybe odium and honor will merge. I feel like we have to get more shards coming together as i cant imagine that the cosmre does not end with the reforging of Ado. Book 5 cant come soon enough

I volunteer at a cat sanctuary and when one of my favorites was dying, I listened to chapter where Kaladin swears the 4th ideal like half a dozen times with her on my lap.

Totally right. At the end of the book with Wit getting his memory taken by Tarivangian scared the heck out of me. Just a whole new game and only Tarivangian is playing it or even knows it exists. What have you done Cultivation? I Love her character how she played the long game and sets everything up to kill Rsyese. I think we all know though, she might have killed the one who was after her life and also got some revenge for Hornor, but she just introduce something much worse to the world that Rsyese ever was.

I don't think Dalinar is looking for another perspective, so much as a challenge to his ideas. Think of his book like an army of ideas. Each one must be tested against an opponent that wants to destroy them, and only when the dust settles can you determine who remains standing unbroken. It fits his mindset and personality. He has always sought out the strongest opponent in battle, and Jasnah is the strongest mind on the planet. If she can't break his ideas down, they must be unbreakable. Dalinar's book is a sword forged using a lifetime of knowledge. He wants to see if his blade will crack and shatter when used against the armor from a legendary armorsmith.

Honestly, despite all the crazy important action scenes in this section; my favorite chapter was Dabid’s chapter, it just felt real

I've seen a lot of commentators not especially love Wit and Jasnah. But it makes sense to me. Jasnah has exactly one intellectual equal on Roshar, and none when Wit world hops away. She has the stature of a queen, but it must be noted that THAT ISN'T ENOUGH. She's already begun reforms, as if she intends to bring about 400 years of liberalization single handedly. That is much closer to the scale of action that Wit could consider than any other mortal on Roshar except the max-brilliance Taravangian that created the Diagram. If she has romantic inclinations at all, Wit IS the worthiest figure on the planet. Especially since he has understood her long before Radiants became commonplace again. F--- Moash. The Pursuer was a fantastic 1-off villain but I'm glad he died for real at the end. Kaladin came genuinely close to giving in to Odium and I believe that if Moash hadn't been driven off by his anti-lighteyes passion (or is it a Passion?) he would have broken Kaladin for good. Even if Kaladin had begun to stand up and recover, the immediate death of Lirin would have left him desperate to die or, more likely, ready and willing to accept Odium's offer to take his pain. Raboniel best girl? Raboniel best girl. #NavaniKholinisbestKholin I loved the look at the Listeners, and I'm very very into the promise we've gotten of Listener Radiants. R'lai as a Truthwatcher is soooo right. 10 days. Taravangian is terrifying, WAY scarier than Rayse. Because he believes he is right. And he is clever and devious. Anyone expecting Todium's champion to be a defenseless child? Or somehow be Elhokar's son? Taravangian is a really wonderful villain, because he is Dalinar's true philosophical counter. Odium will either not be a back-5 villain, or he will be a Cosmere-wide threat to a degree never before seen. But I trust Cultivation. Wit and Taravangian. Oh boy. I think Wit got played, but Wit isn't the story teller. Sanderson is. Whatever happened to Wit is the way that Odium is going to be broken, if he is. I love Nightblood so much. So many things have pointed at Nightblood being the most powerful item in the Cosmere by some serious measure. It CASUALLY kills a Shard vessel. Nothing like that has been shown before. Like, at all. The Bondsmith scene though... Yikes. Book 5 is going to be crazier and more intense than anything we've seen so far. (I won't say it since you didn't, but he's back! Its crazy and weird and Thaidakar is going to be terrifying.)

Think about this... Ren set Taravangian up for this. That means Ren knew what would happen if those two gems were broken, AND Saja-Anat(spelling) is working with Cultivation. Those two gems were the two (of 3) saja-anat warped spren that Rayse/Odium was actively searching for. Breaking the gems drew Odium to Taravangian. Renarin knew Szeth would be there with nightblood. It was a freaking trap and Renarin knew it was going to happen when the gems were broken, that szeth would be there with nightblood to break them, and that Taravangian would have to take up the mantle of Odium.

Immediately after seeing Taravangodium talking to Cultivation, what were your thoughts? Most people seem to fall into the 'Cultivation made a boo-boo' camp. I think she has not only achieved revenge by orchestrating the death of the one who killed her husband/lover, but she will also succeed in cultivating a very strong ally in Taravangodium, and I'm speculating now but I think the 'Contest of Champions' will become a moot point. I expect Dalinar to fight alongside both Gods willingly, not as friends, but as allies of necessity. I expect book 5 will quickly end the Rosharan War and begin the Cosmere War.

This book had so much weightage on part 5 when it comes to major events. And I think that detail is cool. Then a question for you, I thought you had only read Mistborn era 1.

Admittedly Kelsier was always a morally grey character, but I assumed after Mistborn Secret History, and his helping the Southern Scadrians survive the post-Catacendre climate, that he was now more morally good. Running the Ghost Bloods, trying to seize investiture for fun and profit and employing dangerous sociopaths like Iyatl and Mraize seem to imply my view on him becoming less grey was wrong. I can't see Kelsier condoning putting Lift in a cage, for instance, and essentially selling her to the Singers. Will have to see how Sanderson plays this, but yeah.

Did you catch in the epigraph from harmony to wit, that harmony warns wit the following. It’s a foreshadowing that raise would be replaced. "In truth, it would be a combination of a Vessel’s craftiness and the power’s Intent that we should fear most." So in reality, things just got much much worse for our friends on roshar.

Maybe these are so obvious to others but I wanted to get some people's ideas to see if I'm on the right track. Why did all the dead eyes show up in Shadesmar? Was this a timing thing. Or was Maya somehow able to send a telepathic beacon of hope to them? Or could they sense change coming. Are all the new deadeyes due to Ishar's experiments? This seems obvious to me, but no one has talked about it so I wondered if I have this wrong.

I don't think that the deadeyes came about because of Ishar's experiments. They started appearing after the Recreance.

My impression is that the unfortunate sprens ending up on ishar's operating tables got yanked wholly out of the Cognitive Realm, and thus them being dead there is likely true death (albeit with a carcass left behind, unlike a voidlight-caused annihilation), instead of the body just being a physical realm manifestation with their cognitive self becoming dead eyes. Narratively it feels more horrific this way rather the more hopefully recoverable state of being dead eyes.

I'm a straight guy so I might be way off base here so anyone feel free to correct me, but I felt that Brandon did an Asexual character perfectly in the sense that I never even really realized it until mentioned in this video. Not being overtly in the readers face about a characters sexuality yet still leaving these subtle ways of letting the readers who may identify with her know. Really cool character excited to see her and Hoid ( my personal favorite ) evolve their relationship.

My theory is that Eshonai is the connection to the chasm fiends. Because her death happened when she was invested

I just wanted to say when Kaladin fell to save Lirin it is like an image from a movie where the MC grows up finally and when jumps off the building discovering his powers and that shot he is not falling, he is rising and that is what I envisioned in this. It was not the fall to his death, but the rise of him and he has become radiant and says the fourth ideal.

I've always liked Lirin too. I feel like in so many other fantasy books I have read, there is this common trope of the main character being orphaned or at least having one parent. Even having villainous parents is a thing that isn't unusual. I feel like it's convenient for why the main character has trauma and little guidance so they can be easily swept up into the fantastical without much consequence. Lirin is kind of unexplored territory for so many readers, like how is a father of a young adult who is single handedly flipping the world on its head supposed to act? He has a baby that he would like to raise in peace and a wife that he would like to protect from violence and a profession that plays in to much to his personal values. He is written so well

Because the next book is the ending of first half of Stormlight Archive and it will most likely have both huge cosmere revelations as well as implications I'm assuming that the duel (if it actually happens) is the culmination of the first or second section and the rest is dealing with fallout, possibly dealing with all the worldhoppers gathering on Roshar.
