Spending the evening rereading Way of Kings by myself... not so bad.

Poor Shen.

"The lighteyes talk about honor. They spout empty claims about their ability. Well, I've only known one man in my life who was a true man of honor. He was a surgeon who would help anyone, even those who hated him. Especially those who hated him. Well, we're going to show Gaz, and Sadeas, Hashal, and any other sodden fool who cares to watch, what he taught me. Now go to work and stop complaining!"

Oh, Tien...

"Somebody has to start. Somebody has to step forward and do what is right, BECAUSE it is right. If nobody starts, then others cannot follow."

BEST. QUOTE. EVER.

And halfway done. Holy crap, Kaladin just lived through a highstorm. Wonder how that happened? ... *cheesy grin*

Two more things I love about this book: Wit's insults, and the tense political maneuvering.

And we continue...and I remember more and more how much I love this book, its world, characters, and story. Seriously, though, this is a book I will NEVER get sick of, kinda like the entire Belgariad series... :)

Dalinar, you are awesome. Just sayin'. Two things I've noticed on my third reread so far: First, I realized that we really don't spend all that much time in depression town with Kaladin. Sure, the entire first part, but that's not considerably long, given the length of the entire work. And last... it's so obvious that Shallan has a Shardblade. I have no idea how I missed that the first time.
