    I want to see them fight against each other to a draw, and then join sides and whoop everyone else's ass! :P

    There were some really interesting answers in Brandon's AMA today, but this one in particular caught my eye:

    Another website? They are outsiders and I shun them. SHUNNNN-NUH! (but actually, thanks for the link)

    DOH :facepalm Thanks.

    I think Szeth will find the Honor Shard and become Honor. There's just too much about him being the "honorless Truthless of Shinovar." edit: sigh. Thanks Taika Sedai. Silly me.

    Wait, where does Dalinar talk to spren? Unless you mean the nightwatcher? But I don't think that counts. Elhokar, though, can see the same spren that Shallan and Jasnah see (the soulcasting ones). I don't think Dalinar will become a KR, though I think Shallan and Kaladin probably will. I...

    You mean the handwriting that appears on some of the drawings in the book? I remember seeing a link for a translation of them somewhere on the 17th shard wiki, but I'm having trouble finding it now. Will keep looking. Here it is. http://coppermind.net/wiki/File:Navani2.jpg...

    Well that's what I can't decide. When Kaladin is tied up in the storm and he sees the face, I got the sense that the storm father wasn't good, as well. But then in that sequence when he's riding the storm, the voice talks to him and tells him Odium is coming the way the face in the storm is...

    I just remembered something I want to say. In Dalinar's last vision, Cultivation is referred to as a she. However, I feel like the voice Kaladin heard when he road the storm was male (and, of course, storm father though that might mean much in and of it self). So that still leaves me wondering...

    Double post! Just finished. Dalinar's last vision. Wow. I think Taika Sedai made this same comment, but TOTALLY forgot all about that. I have no doubt now that the Almighty was the person who held the Honor Shard, and that that person is now dead. Something else: the Ghostbloods. A group of...

    Interesting. So maybe the Almighty was the one who held the Honor Shard.

    Just saying this upfront, I'd love to get deep into this convo. But it's going to contain major spoilers from all the other Brandon Sanderson books. I'll do this one post in spoiler tags, and if everyone else is on board, we can go without the tags from here on out. Mistborn spoilers: Also...

    Oh right, preservation and ruin = harmony. I read the scene where kaladin rides the storm. Someone talks to him, calling him the child of honor, and tells him to beware of Odium (obv hate). I thought at first it was honor talking to him, but now I think you're right, it's the storm father (who...

    When you put it that way, that makes sense. The reason I wasn't sure it was the scene of her father's death was because she asks, "what's wrong with me?" And to me, if you're subconsciously drawing the scene of your father's death, whom YOU killed, it seems rather obvious what's wrong with you...

    I've gotten really lazy about taking notes. A couple things that struck me, though: Who is Teft, really? We know him as one of Kaladin's bridgemen. I can't remember learning anything more about him, but he recognizes Kaladin's Windrunning for what it is (he gives Kaladin infused spheres to heal...

    Not sure why you'd have your limb broken off for an idea... But it's an interesting thought. I don't know that it would actually be Soothing, but there definitely ARE similarities between the systems of magic between the worlds in the cosmere. That's correct. While the Parshmen are capable of...

    Haha, yeah. He said he plans on writing the first 5, taking a break to do another one of the mistborn trilogies, and then write the last 5. The way he said it made it sound like there was a natural break point between the first 5 and last 5.

    I think we can just discuss whatever we feel like whenever. If someone is earlier in the books and wants to discuss something from earlier, they can, too. Don't think we need to necessarily go in order. I did have a similar thought to this, but I couldn't quite fully form it. I think the...

    Yeah, I've actually often wondered whether it was just unclear, or if we're actually missing a big chunk of what's going on with the chasm fiends. Like, when they form chrysalises, are they actually pupating to a different stage? Is the chasm fiend the larval stage? Or is it the adult stage...

    Oh, I like that about Shallan. I think it makes perfect sense. She's able to see the souls of things which is why her drawings are so accurate. Maybe it's a related yet still distinct ability. Some more things about soul casting: we're told that it's a bad idea to make food from metal, because...
