Szeth is truly death. This was a parade of brutality. Part of me wants to cry for him. He’s clearly suffering and doesn’t want to be a killer. Part of me also wants to yell at him for following such an evil order. What the hell happened in the past for him to be so self-hating???

Terrific writing in motion

Noooooo this is how Kaladin becames a slave?! All because Amaram wants the Shards for himself. AlEtHkAr my ass! You’re a wicked fucking bastard fuck you! I feel so bad for Kal I wanted to cry 😭🖕🏾

Well shit. Kinda feels like the depressing end of Shallan’s arc. I hope Shallan and Jasnah can become friends again :(

Bro why did Kabsal do that? I was starting to like him :(

🎶Let’s get down to business. To escape the Plains.🎶

I’m sure something is going to go terribly wrong, but it’s great seeing Kaladin train the bridgemen. Really hope at the very least his plan to gather objects from the chasms works.

Okay I just passed the part of chapter 46 where Kaladin rode through the highstorms.

I have a lot to say here. But my theory is that before Tanavast / Honor died, he foresaw a purpose for Kaladin. Maybe like Dalinar and his visions, Kaladin has a purpose foreseen by the Almighty. Something the Stormfather knows.

In Kaladin’s case, his purpose is to do something with the broken and abandoned Oathpact

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!!! SHALLAN HAS A SHARDBLADE!!! AND SHE USED IT TO KILL SOMEONE!!!

SHALLAN IS BEING FOLLOWED BY STRANGE CREATURES! I THINK THEY ARE SPREN!!

SHE DID A SOULCASTING!!!! BUT HOW?! I’M SO CONFUSED!!!

Tien was just drafted into the army, and Kaladin volunteered to go with him. This will go badly… Can someone please kill this hoe Roshone???

Last time I updated my progress, I finished chapter 39. Since then I’ve finished 40, 41, 42 and 43.

Think I finished 40 and 41 back in September

42 and 43 were finished today during snowmageddon. Great way to pass the time. Proud of myself.

I’ve only finished one book in 2025. I’m the most washed nerd ever. Gotta lock in and finish this book come 2026.

Shallan is facing a moral dilemma over Jasnah transmuting those thugs into fire, crystal and smoke. She studies a bunch of philosophical arguments but seems set on seeing Jasnah in the wrong. She tries using the Soulcaster but doesn’t know how, which I’m curious about

TELEPORTATION MENTIONED IN EPIGRAPH?!
