End Part 2: RIP Tyn. I saw the foreshadowing about who Tyn really was from a mile away. Plus she was kinda annoying. Holy cow though, the confrontation between them was thrilling! Shallan has a dark side and her story is kinda crazy!
Kaladin taking on the assassin in white was epic too! Again the subtle foreshadowing with the swords master tipped me off, but I still loved the action. It was wild!

End Part 5:
Kaladin reclaiming his oaths was epic. The showdown with the Assassin in White was even more epic.
Taravangian is a crazy character. The plot revel at a the end of the first book was wild. And the additional plot reveals during this book were very interesting. And now that Moash is getting involved…
Adolin smoking Sadeas at the end shocked me! I hope it doesn’t destroy him in the next book.

End Part 4:
Kaladin’s lost relationship with Syl is heartbreaking. I hope he can find a way to restore his oaths. I like the idea of powers being grated based on obedience to oaths. There is something very religious about that for each of us.
Moash’s being set to be a terrible monster is scary. The foreshadowing is worrying me…
Shallan’s back story is pretty dark. The murder scene made me squirm!

End Part 3: “Honor is Dead” hit way harder than I was expecting it to. The reveal about Amaram’s Shard Blade and Shallan’s brother was shocking!
Shallan’s spy operations are a fun storyline. And her cautious, yet innocent escapes from death keep me on my toes as a listener.
Kaladin’s epic rise and tragic fall at the end of part 3 was crushing! I just want the truth to be revealed for him. So sad 😭

End Part 1: Shallan’s moment in the “Open Flame” chapter surprised me Big Time. Don’t read ahead if you don’t want spoilers. RIP Jasna….
Kaladin’s section was pretty chill, but the drama introduced at the end with Brightlord Amaram also surprised me. This is going to be interesting to see how Kaladin approaches the situation.
