Discussion - Part Four!

I have been really enjoying all the action! What the hell was that duel in the third part? So incredible!! And Sanderson is such a genious to finish that big victory with a total disaster! I was so angry at everybody in the beginning of this part, and yet things seemed to work out realistically and neatly here. I especially loved that Adolin showed some real honor and respect towards Kaladin.
I also love the relationship developing between Shallan and Kaladin (friendship or love, I can't tell yet and don't really care at this point, it's just awesome)
But the sad highlight for me here was Syl's death... I have to admit I cried just a little, even though I believe she'll come back. Yes, Storm it with my Kelsier Effect, I believe!!!
And the inteludes! One better than the next! It's so good to get more and more understanding. I think the Mistborn trilogy has some competition as my favorite Brandon Sanderson book!

Syl's death was sad. I'm unsure as to how exactly Kaladain 'killed' her, I know it said something about broken promises so I guess he just did too many things that she didn't agree with or something, holding a Shardblade for one. I'm hoping Pattern doesn't meet the same fate. I think he's a different kind of spren though because he doesn't seem to have a problem with Shallan holding her Shardblade.
