Hi and welcome! :) I hadn't even thought of the shardbearer Kaladin killed. :lol Sounds pretty plausible. Also, I think I'll need to skim the book once again before the Words of Radiance is out, I've already forgotten lots of stuff (again).

I wondered it too. I guess it's one of the religious imagery things (like the safehand) we're going to get more info of later...

:lol :hug

Truthless. :look

I also thought the face in the storm was a kindly one, and intuitively thought it would have to be Stormfather. But Stormfather being Odium would make sense - the storms aren't good in themselves, since they make life so difficult for the people, animals and plants. And like Arec said the...

Ah well, maybe the stormfather isn't one of the Shards, after all. I totally missed the "she"...

Yes, that makes sense to me! The difference between Shinovar and the rest of the world is that there are no highstorms in Shinovar. Does that mean that the Stormfather (whichever Shard he is) is not present in Shinovar? There are also no spren in Shinovar (that comment was made by the apprentice...

My intuitive thought was that Almighty=Cultivation, Stormfather=Honor, but that must be wrong too. :p

I love the spren things too! Was the Honor same as Almighty? Could the Stormfather (or the face Kaladin sees - I always thought it was the Stormfather) be Cultivation, then? I'm very ignorant about how the Cosmere actually works, because I've only read the books as stories. Never done much...

Oh, it was called truthspren. That (too) escaped me. :p (Like the Szeth info too :look) It sounds interesting that people can have KR abilities without the spren. Do you think the ones that aren't teamed with a spren remain somewhat less? They won't become "full" Radiants?

Aw, Raevi. :( Why do you think her reaction doesn't make sense if it's her father's death? I don't remember either if it was confirmed somewhere, but I always thought this was it. I interpreted the why of this drawing to be that it's (her killing her father) something her unconscious mind...

I finished last night. And yes, Jasnah says straight out that she fears some sort of disaster to come with the parshmen. I didn't read the soulcasting explanations at the end of the book (was up too late) but will read them later. Anyway, the Sadeas betrayal still makes me mad and sad! I think...

I think the Parshendi singing is their way of thinking and/or communicating - in the battles they change the song according to what kind of tactics they are using. I think they could have a group-consciousness of some sort. They are always described to sing the same song at the same time (the...

About Soulcasting, Chapter 48: Looks like we've been on the right track about real "souls" in soulcasting. The way it seemed was that the soul didn't transform, but remained the same, only moving from a place - the goblet - to another - the blood.

That's really an interesting thought about the gemheart, Deiria! Last night I read about how Gavilar had perceived the Parshmen when he first discovered them. There was something about the song (they sing when they fight too), and how they everybody were singing the same song exactly the same...

Yeah, I'm not sure about Jasnah's theory either. It's too early in the series to give out that much - unless Brandon Sanderson is planning some megalomanic über-plot to be revealed later! :lol Ysterday I found something that might give us a better clue about how the Voidbringers, Parshendi...

I don't think they go in a chrysalis to weather the high storms, because then they would all pupate the same time - and we're told they form the chrysalises frequently but irregularly. I guess they would emerge from the chrysalises as something else if they were left alone... But I agree with...

Oo, can be! I don't really remember. I'll look at it when I get there. Thanks Adui! :D

Interesting thought about Soulcasting! I think it might very well be something along what you wrote. And what if Shallan's drawing ability, which was at least once described as capturing the soul of things was related to soulcasting somehow. I don't know if it's only a figure of speech, though...

I know what you mean El. I think it has to do with the re-reading, and not reading for the first time. The flashbacks are mainly there to explain Kaladin being where he is, and some of those were major revelations. (The total chain of events leading Kaladin into the army - and how he got to be a...
