Before WaT, I didn’t give a shit about most the Heralds. But after? These are my mentally ill babies and I’d fight Retribution for them

"You fools. You could have had the city, but you came here. For the broken."

The moment when Taln finally stands up and Shalash speaks aloud the reason is so grand, especially in the light of the immense destruction they cause after that to hold the city for an extra day.

Can't wait for Books 8 and 9 for their backstories.

Days Nine & Ten of reading Wind and Truth...

I didn't have a chance to read much these last 2 days - exams sure are annoying. Managed to get through 86 pages over the 2 days (VERY below average lmao, hoping to make up for it tonight). I am now on page 957, 67% of the way through the entire book (just over 2/3 done!), just into chapter 89 (Day Eight territory now...)

MORE VISIONS! THE MAIN WINDRUNNER WAS ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED WITH ONE OF THE SINGERS!! Ba-Ado-Mishram wanted peace... and was imprisoned by the Bondsmith. Makes a LOT of sense why she seems to hold such a strong grudge against humans. And now Dalinar is properly confronting his younger self.

The battle for Azimir still rages... the thunderclast did a lot of damage (rest in... many pieces, Neziham). The dome was broken. The fortifications were failing. AND THEN ASH AND TALN! Also Adolin is an amputee now. Definitely is gonna take him some time to get used to, but if anyone can bounce back, it's him.

Szeth's flashbacks are close to a climax - I'm really interested to see who (or what?) is behind the Voice he heard before he became Truthless. I have suspicions it could be one of the Unmade... that would explain why Shinovar currently is corrupted (the Unmade thag was previouslt resident has now returned).

Rlainarin. Need I say more? Shallan watching them whilst jumping up and down and squealing was such a funny moment, I'm so annoyed it got cut off though.

There is a glimmer of hope for Nale now... Kaladin's therapy could work, if Nale isn't so stubborn. Like Kaladin picked up on, his madness seems to have manifested in the form of "I do not believe in my own capacity to make decisions, so I will follow the law to the letter so that I do not have to decide what is right and wrong". ALSO 12124 WANTS HELP! A highspren showing humility was NOT on my bingo card for WaT lol

Lift and Zahel has so much potential. This is gonna be a funny combo - Zahel with the off-world cursing and wisdom beyond most people on Roshar, and Lift begrudgingly beginning to acknowledge that she is growing up and maturing... ALSO LIFT BESTED A FULL FERUCHEMIST??? HELLO???

That's it for days nine & ten! Tomorrow is my last 2 exams, but then I'm going on a camping trip & expedition for a couple of days, so after tomorrow I will probably pause my read of Wind and Truth til I get back, unless I have room for it in my rucksack (which is unlikely).

I hope you've been enjoying my read-along :)

See y'all tomorrow!

I think Ash is going to be a bit resentful of Kaladin at first. Like really, the other heralds accepted this 21yo punk as their leader/therapist? And they don't treat him like a child for 60 years?? So unfair

[libralita]

I’ve been thinking about what’s going to happen in Arc 2 with Kal and the heralds a lot lately. One theory I’m playing with (or possible fanfic I’ll probably never write) is Retribution forces all the heralds to Braize again. We’ll see their anguish and terror but Kal and Syl will be there to help them through it. Imagine if he tells the dog and the dragon story to them.

I miss my 7000 year old babies…

i love that shalash is called shush in shinovar. it's me, the herald of silence, mortals

[seirei-bh]

I'm really concerded by some of the decisions my Mii characters are making in Tomodachi Cosmere island because the herald named Ash has fallen in love with Evi Kholin, and now Chana has fallen in love with Hoid.

I don't know what's more ironic and crazy between those two…. but a part of me love chaos and I don't want to stop them
