Chapters 20-27 are covered. Spoilers are having a party below!
1. We seem to be getting more and more proof that there is some ''luck'' or magic at play when it comes to Kaladin's safety, survival and his skills - especially during those battle scenes. Even when performing that Kata in the Chasm, there was something incredible about his movements according to the rest of the crew. Initially the blade seemed to be the source of his skills (to me at least) , what do you think might be fueling his powers? Do you think they're getting stronger?
2. We were introduced to Navani, King Gavilar's widow and the current King Elhokar's mother. What was your initial impression of her? There seems to be some complicated history between her and Dalinar, do you think she might end up being an ally or an eventual hindrance?
3. What did you make of Sadeas' maneuver against Dalinar to gain the King's favor by being named the High Prince of Information? How do you reconcile his actions with the advice Dalinar received ''to trust'' Sadeas?
4. Where you surprised when Rock admitted to Kaladin that he was seemingly born being able to see the Spren and therefore could see Syl following Kaladin around? That led to a pivotal point for Kaladin, gaining Rock's favor and then Teft's. What were your thoughts on that whole scene? Can you speculate as to why some people are able to see the spren when others can not?
5. We got to see Adolin confront his father Dalinar because of his visions and lay all his cards on the table. Clearly Adolin thinks his father is losing it and his words seemed to shake Dalina's own convictions as well. Do you think this will have a lasting effect on Dalinar's belief in his visions? Not to mention his acting on them? Moreover, do you think Adolin will ever be convinced that there is more to Dalinar's visions any time soon?
6. As if in further indication of Dalinar and Kaladin's collision course towards one another, Dalinar has agreed to train a bridge crew - without putting them directly into assault or harm's way (of course, love these two!!) do you think their joined efforts might be enough to change the way the the other High Princes go about things during battle? Especially Sadeas?
