Am I the only one who thinks that Key threatening to kill Rae and make her one of his ghouls crosses the line? Like he punched King in the last book for less... I know he's supposed to be gray, etc. But this one moment def gave me ick, honestly. If not that I would say he did nothing wrong

Gothic Fantasy books written by women (Leigh Bardugo, Erin Craig, Rachel Gillig, Hannah Whitten etc) Please recommend me fantasy books with Gothic vibes, feels, or even just dark fantasy adult or YA, written by women like:

Leigh Bardugo and her Ninth House and Familiar

Erin Craig and her Small favors and Thirteenth Child and House of Salt and Sorrow

Rachel Gillig's One Dark Window and knight and the moth

Bonesmith and Ghostsmith by nicki paul preto

The year of the witching

Starling house

Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten

Luminaries by susan dennard

Lockwood & Co.

long live evil

ash princess by laura sebastian

silver in the Bones by alexandra bracken

Uprooted

Juniper and Thorn

Please recommend something similar to dark, gothic, or horror elements, almost Tim Burton-like books.

I especially love Leigh Bardugo, Erin Craig, and Rachel Gillig. If you love them, tell me what other books you like (I already know of Vampires of El Norte or Diviners by Libba Bray or Mexican Gothic or Kingfisher).

Wat some spoilers

So what you think is future for this two? Is it over for good or was it all a set up for sa arc 2 where Jasnah will be main character? 

At the end of the book Wit said in his thoughts that he loves Jasnah, Jasnah also said multiple times that she enjoyed their relationship, Wit was said to be fond of it too. So only set back was that Wit kept lying in other words he didn't completely put his armor down. 

But Jasnah mentioned that she wrote letter because she didn't want to argue with him, so Wit will be against break up. And she mentioned that he would be angry about it. 

And his letter sounded sad and regretful. 

So was this all to set their relationship and conflict for arc 2?

Problem is lying, we know that Wit will return to Roshar and his order is literally about truths + in his letter he acknowledged lying as his main flaw. 

Hoid is one if not the most important character in cosmer so if he's to have a character development it seems likely to be in cosmer's magnum opus that is sa.

I also find it interesting that in Way of Kings Prime Jasnah was in love with Taln who was in love with her. Taln is also immortal and his conflict was that he loved Jasnah but he put roshar as a whole higher than anything else. And that's literally Wit's arc in wat. He mentioned multiple times that with teras yes but he will let roshar burn. But in last chapters he says that it was always his belief but in the end he wasn't so sure. 

So I think Jasna and Taln was original idea that get scrapped but same as Taln's arc or character concept or idea from prime went to Dalinar in wok, the idea of immortal who puts overall over personal went to Wit's character. I don't think that Sanderson will go with Jasnah/Taln in original series because he mentioned that prime will be released only when all possible spoilers happen. It's already released so Jasnah/Taln seem no longer to be a spoiler. And he wouldn't likely make her fall in love with Taln in arc 2 because they will have very similar conflict to Jasnah/Wit and he already said that he dislike to repeat ideas, like when Taln's madness idea went to Dalinar in book 1 he said that he changed Taln's concepts so it would not repeat with Dalinar. 

Prime is overall very different. Navani wasn't in book at all and Adolin died in book 1. 

So I assume that Jasnah and Wit are set up for arc 2 

From author's point of view making character admitt they love someone then saying that they will return to Roshar looks a lot like set up.

I not exactly say that Jasnah and Wit could have a happy ending, what I am trying to say is that I think they are meant to be each other main love interests overall and will have interactions and development in arc 2.

Tell me everything you think! I have no friends who read sa and I want discussion
