I love watching people read Stormlight books for the first time.

I would argue it's not so much about whose "greater good" is correct... it's more that our villains (Amaram, Sadeas, Moash, Taravangian) all believe the the ends ALWAYS justify the means. In other words, our Heroes are "Journey before Desination". And our Villains are "Destination and the Journey is irrelevent". Our villains are solely concerned with reaching their Destination and they're willing to make the Journey there as painful and terrible as possible because it doesn't matter to them; as long as they get where they're going, they've won.

That is a great point. They don't care about who they hurt along the way to reach their goals as long as they achieve what they've set out to. Definitely not the mentality for me, rather cut-throat.

I wouldn’t consider Moash to be a villain. He is simply a reactionary toward lighteye corruption.

Great vlog! I knew you would love this book and had a feeling Shallan would be your favorite character. I am the worst when it comes to theorizing, so amazing job with that! I remember having the same disappointment that he didn't kill characters, and unfortunately I was already accidentally spoiled that Jasnah lived, so that was very anti-climactic for me.

Wow, very impressed with all your correct predictions, and so early in your read! In new to your channel, so this is possibly a question I could find out by watching more of your videos, but I'm curious if you've read any of the Cosmere novellas? You mentioned looking for the crossovers, and that's where I've seen some of the coolest ones!

I've read some of them but not all. I've read all the mistborn world ones, elantris world ones, Stormlight novellas, I haven't got to the ones on the other worlds (shadows of silence and ones I've forgotten the names of)

Words of radiance is still my favorite book in the stormlight archives I hope you enjoy oathbringer 💜💜🤗

Fingers crossed! I'm definitely in a Sanderson mood now I think

This was really fun! Spoilers for Mistborn and WoR below!! It is easy to miss, but it's heavily hinted at in WoK that Shallan has a Shardblade. Ten heartbets keep being mentioned in her chapters, but the biggest one is when she is cornered in her rooms by the Cryptics right before she soulcasts. Regarding your theory that Wit is an allomancer: In WoK he mentions something regarding his name which might be of interest.

I know this comment is coming SUPER late, but depending on which edition of the book you have, the Kaladin and Szeth fight ends differently. Sanderosn went back and changed the scene so Kaladin does not kill Szeth, merely cuts through the arm holding the blade, and then Szeth drops into the storm. This changes it so that Nale doesn't resurrect Szeth per se, but manages to "heal" him before he is completely dead.

You got some predictions right, but a lot of the premises are veeeeery wrong... so you got to some right conclusions based on wrong premises... It's a huge universe with a lot of hidden information, though. So it's understandable... Enjoying the series! Thx for the content!

I also predicted many things in ending and it all went good for everyone so I also wasn't fan of the ending that much so same opinion My favorite moment was duel " Honor is dead" and chasm sequence too so glad to know that I am not the only one with same takes
